Oh man

Thanks to Bucky for the tip (Bucky, i had heard about the O'Reilly side, but not the Olbermann bit in response) for this wonderful bit of conservative craziness. As far as I can tell, at one point, Keith Olbermann (who I watch when I watch cable news) made fun of O'Reilly's Talking Points. O'Reilly got mad. He doesn't like to be made fun of, which is funny, because he has been such a tabloid idiot for so long, you would think he would be used to it. And, this is the same guy who yelled at a guy who lost his dad in the World Trade Center, calls people "pinheads" on a regular basis, and cuts their microphone if he doesn't like their argument.

So anyway, Billy got mad and started feuding with Olbermann, calling for his show being canceled and stuff like that. Olbermann loves all this, btw, and shows it whenever O'Reilly snaps. Well, the other day, evidently someone called in and said Olbermann on O'Reilly's show. Bill used the delay and got rid of the guy (fine, whatever) but then told the guy over the air that "we have your phone number and you might be hearing from Fox Security." Or words to that effect. He then said that Faux Security might call the locals.

Watch the video. Funny stuff. Turns out that if anyone is in legal trouble, it is O'Reilly. If he really is sending out "hired goons" to talk to people who call in and say Olbermann, the dude might be in for a huge lawsuit.

Great stuff! Biased media with enforcers! I can't believe the "media" isn't all over this. O'Reilley should be ridden hard on this one. I guess it's no longer "commentary" or "journalism" (if it ever was). Instead, FoxNews is actually a COMEDY channel. Now it all makes sense! Thanks, Streak.
