Olbermann vs O'Leilly
Advertisements [?]
Anyone else following this bitter rivalry?

I just love all the shots Olbermann gets in on his show against O'Leilly. I just WISH Olbermann's ratings were better. He deserves better!

From www.cablenewser.com
The O'Reilly/Olbermann Spat Continues!
Keith Olbermann took another shot at Bill O'Reilly on the Countdown last night. Quote:
"The Fox News host—the news—that guy who decided last week that his show was more important than Ronald Reagan lying in the state Capitol Rotunda, so he had the president preempted, that guy, he is being threatened with a lawsuit by liberal author Eric Alterman.
Last month, on air, O‘Reilly called Alterman—quote—“another Fidel Castro confidante.” Careful, Billy. You may want to pull back a little bit. This is how Joe McCarthy‘s trolley started to come off the tracks."

THEN,
A FOX insider rebutted on cablenewser.com with: "Are you one of four people who watched Olbermann's show last night?"

Then another FOX insider slammed his ratings again and mentioned the whole Olympics thing. Then Keith wrote back, ""Whoever wrote you about the Fox 8 PM ratings has the perfect right to quote them; shallow, phony patriotism will always draw a crowd -- like dogs humping in the street. But the reference to the Olympics is a lie; I asked NBC management here to permit me to stay with Countdown rather than leave the show for a month, and after considerable discussion, they reluctantly agreed. Anyone who says differently not only doesn't know what's going on IN television -- they probably also don't know how to turn ON a television."

OH SNAP!
