TVNewser: Bill O'Reilly Delivers Warning To (NBC president) Bob Wright

Bill O'Reilly Delivers Warning To Bob Wright


Bill O'Reilly -- excuse me, "Talking Points" -- is "troubled by the behavior of NBC, which cheap shots FOX News on a regular basis and has been doing so for some time," the FNC host said on Monday night.

(By NBC, he apparently means Dateline's Josh and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.)

"It is only a few people doing this, but NBC President Robert Wright allows it to happen. Wright knows exactly what's going on, because he's been made aware of it." (He's been "made aware" of it?)

O'Reilly continued:...."There is no question the amazing success of FOX News has affected all TV news operations, but CNN, for example, usually competes with class, not bitterness. Likewise, we respect ABC and CBS for their work ethic and competitive zeal.

But there's something very wrong at NBC. And if it continues, 'Talking Points' will go into greater detail about the problems besetting that network. We hope Robert Wright will right the situation and believe he has the power to do it....

[LisaM]

1. Well, I'm warning O'Reilly to back off PBS, NPR, and Air America.

So there.

[dchill]

69. Oh...

FALAFEL!

[Verve]

2. Poor Bill! If he can't take the heat, he shouldn't walk the walk. n/t

[liberalmike27]

21. Funny thing is

The Simpson's takes more pot-shots at FAUX News than anyone, and it is on FAUX.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. NBC Gets a "Wag of the finger!"

Is he watching Colbert Report for tips?

[Pirate Smile]

10. The Word = Talking Point.

Actually, Colbert watches him (mocks him).

[0rganism]

27. Colbert does a better O'Reilly imitation than O'Reilly ever did

Some times I start thinking that Colbert's enjoying the part a little too much...

[Pirate Smile]

35. Colbert is doing the WH Correspondent's Dinner. I wonder how he

is going to do it. Keep up the RW, blow-hard shtick but I don't know if Bush or the Republicans will even "get" it.

[Brooklyn Michael]

43. OMG - Now THAT's going to be funny...

Make no mistake, Colbert is a smart, smart man. It may take a minute or two for the right-wingers to "get it", but he'll make sure they do. I don't think he'd even take the gig unless he was sure they'll feel every barb.

[Orsino]

48. What a marvelous opportunity to speak truth to power.

Can it really be that Colbert's schtick has gotten him past the screening that would have stopped Stewart? Can they really fail so utterly to "get it"?

[Pirate Smile]

53. They asked Stewart but he turned them down. He is doing the Oscars,

of course, which should be great considering how so many of the films have political issues mixed up in them.

[0rganism]

75. His interviews with congressional reps are interesting in that respect

I do get the impression that their confusion and discomfort are genuine -- that they really expected someone to lob them the usual softball questions. And then Colbert pitches them knuckle balls, curves, and sliders.

Either they're too out of it to know that Colbert is a comedian, or they're playing along beautifully and should consider careers in Hollywood.

[kenny blankenship]

12. Did he "put them on notice"?

That's when you KNOW it's serious!

[Mad_Dem_X]

42. And then they'll be "dead to him"! LOL

[AlCzervik]

49. much like bow tie pasta! I was cracking up when he said that last night

[Up2Late]

45. Did you see the other night when Colbert read from the NY Post quote...

...that O'Liely is a "big fan" of "The Colbert Report"!?!

Too funny, he must have forgot that Colbert is a satire of him.

[stepnw1f]

4. Bill The Biggest Whiner on the MSM

He's a nutcase propagandist.

[PA Democrat]

5. OOH! Maybe he'll sue NBC like he sued Al Franken.

THAT worked out well for Billy-boy didn't it?

Maybe he can boost Keith's ratings like he boosted Franken's book sales.

[shaniqua6392]

6. I am sure NBC is shaking in their boots.

Yeah right. Like who cares what Bill O'Smelly thinks. We only have a few people in the entire group of networks who we can actually listen to without throwing a brick at our televisions. Now that jackass thinks he is going to take that away. NBC should put on more shows like Countdown. There are more people in this country who can relate to him as compared to BO. The ratings at networks other than FAUX would go sky high if they would just bring it a little left of center which is where most of us are.

[Pirate Smile]

7. I hope he continues to warn people to not watch Countdown on MSNBC

at 8:00 pm ET/7:00 pm CT.

Every night. Bill, say it loud and say it often, ya friggin blow-hard.

edit to add - I think Keith would love to get into a back and forth spat with O'Reilly. He's doing his best every night to provoke the blowhard.

Hey, Bill, why don't you sue him like you did Franken? That'll show him. Do it Bill? Come on. What are ya? A coward?

[sendero]

8. Wikipedia entry: Douchebag...

Douchebag : a lowlife person. ex: Bill O'Reilly

[saigon68]

20. douchebag

The terms douchebag, d-bag, douche nozzle, blagadouche, and douche for short are also popular derogatory terms of insult or ridicule in North America. Such a person can also be said to be guilty of douchebaggery, or could also be described as being douchey. These terms can mean a variety of different insults, and have become popular in the comedic media:

* Someone who is annoying, bossy or embarrassing.
* Someone who is stupid, intellectually challenged or mentally deranged but less than clinically insane.
* Someone who is unintelligently lying or scamming.
* Someone who is arrogant, elitist or snobby.
* Someone whom you don't like.
* Someone who is socially inept.

The word douchebag was used in a skit for Saturday Night Live in 1980.

The practice of douching is now largely restricted to North America, where douching equipment is often available in pharmacies.

[reprobate]

56. I prefer "Vichy". It more conotes the occupied nation we've become.

[saigon68]

60. Quisling works too

Quisling got his in the end (hanged)

Whereas Henri-Philippe Petain just died in prison of old age

[reprobate]

66. Well, that's a future for Bush and Company I can appreciate.

As long as there's a web cam in his cell that the world can view 24/7/365.

Now THAT'S entertainment!

[xxqqqzme]

9. oooooooo, this should get him yet

another 'worst person in the world' nod by Keith. o'lielly should be in a hall of shame permanently as the 'worst' worst person by now.

[Pirate Smile]

14. Maybe tonight, or tomorrow if Keith isn't on because of the SOTU,

O'Reilly can be all three spots on the worst person in the world.

[Secular Agent Man]

11. Stick a sock in it Oh-Riles-Easily

and quit yer whining. :spank:

[0007]

13. Man, is this 0'Reilly guy the cock of the walk or what?

Al Franken knocked 0'Reilly on his ass. Phil Donahue knocked him on his ass. Who hasn't kicked Bill O'Reilly in his wazoo?

Love to see this jack-off unemployed.

[Burried News]

15. O'Reilly's commitment to freedom of the press is now on display

for all the world to see.

[Skip Intro]

16. Oh, go polish yoru peabody, loofa-boy.

what a moron.

can we mass-email him this thread? :evilgrin:

[sakabatou]

17. Pot meet kettle

[Horse with no Name]

18. Is it wrong to wish high cholesterol and clogged arteries on

someone?

[bunkerbuster1]

19. Yes. and it's wrong to wish for battery-acid leakage.

So don't wish for battery-acid leakage to happen to Dild O'Reilly. Because that would be very wrong.

[americanstranger]

36. I'm wishing for a 'Dateline' expose...

...of all those sexual harrassment lawsuits happening at Fox.

Felafel Boy better be careful who he picks a fight with. NBC is a real network, and their lowest-ranked show on its worst night pulls in more viewers than 'The Factor' on its best.

So go ahead, Bill. Keep threatening the Peacock. They might go medieval on your punk ass.

-as

[wordpix]

38. it's clear he already has high blood pressure--watch out, o'lielly

[truth2power]

22. Bwahahahaha!! O'Lielly is a one trick pony...

"And if it continues, 'Talking Points' will go into greater detail about the problems besetting that network."

That your only MO, Bill? Threats and blackmail?? :rofl: :rofl:

[SOS]

23. Translation

Bill O'Rielly demands General Electric CEO shut down all criticism of right-wing talkers.
Now that they're nearly done with deleting the Fourth Amendment they are beginning their work on the First.

[symbolman]

24. O'Reilly might be interested to know that

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS has MORE people watching and Higher ratings than Loofa Boy..

If you sit down and look at the cable numbers for all of these news orgs you'd be surprised - I'm fairly certain that while O'Reilly is sitting there babbling like the insane idiot that he is, that there are Literally MORE people trimming their toenails in the evening Nationwide than are watching both Him AND Scarborough..

Soon he'll be juggling kittens to get attention, poor little mean retard.. one of these days I'm going to do an animation of him, always wanted to show that screwy ass eyeball he has that seems to wander about his face while he's trying to look all Dignified and Important.. I could have the eye wander behind his head, down his arm, etc the whole time he's filling our minds with precious information that we can't get anywhere else, except for maybe a raving barhound who LOVES Bush and dutifully promotes Bush/Cheney with a bumpersticker attached to a 1969 Shitbox Toyota truck - his eyes all shiny at the potential of anyone who "stays the course" with the Republicans getting WEALTHY, just keep repeating the magic words of the right wingers and you'll get LOTS of money and Power..

Sick of idiots. Ready to start IGNORING these assholes on a major scale, which is what the left needs to do, let O'Reilly interview all the OTHER BORING right wingers until even the dumb people get bored..

Goddam pervert.

[xray s]

32. oh you are so right

If all the liberals who watch shitheads like O'Reilly and Matthews would just turn them off their ratings would probably decline 30%-40%. I'd love to hear that teleconference call with their advertisers.

I don't know why people insist on staring into the sun.

[symbolman]

40. Well, the sun I can understand

it's beautiful and gives LIFE, warmth, etc..

I think what we're both saying is that what people are watching is more like a train or auto wreck :)

It may be time for a "turn your backs on Right Wingers" movement, "Turn OFF, Tune OUT, Turn around.." and we can demand the same from the Democrats and Progressives..

STOP going on those programs or WE will vote your ass OUT of office.

I wish people would take my simple little mindgame I've invented more seriously, I came up with a basic solution to both the left and right pigs that we want OUT of office which will invoke a deeply conditioned response.

All you have to do is to write or email, call, etc ANY OFFICE, right or Left and say these words:

"IF YOU vote for this bill, IF you take this measure, IF you DON'T VOTE for THIS BILL, *I* and all of my friends and family will 'VOTE FOR THE OTHER GUY'"..

It's a mindf*ck and it would work. Let THEM worry about WHO the Other GUY IS, make THEM SWEAT. It really doesn't matter WHO THEY think the OTHER GUY IS, just that you repeat that sentence every time and to ALL POLITICIANS..

If ANY Politician gets word that groups are going to vote for SOMEONE ELSE, ie the "other guy" (another Dem? a republican? an Independent? - doesn't matter, and that's the beauty of it, could be LOTS of "other guys" in their mind), THEN they will get scared.

Nothing worse than a nondescript threat to a politician's future as a politician.

[Tight_rope]

25. I say this to ole raggedgy Bill...People in glass houses shouldn't

throw stone. You evil delusional fucking bastard!:spank: :puke:

[dave29]

26. Vee have vays of makink him comply

[VegasWolf]

28. O'Reilly is a joke. He should go back to masturbating over the phone. nt

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

[wordpix]

39. hahaha, that's a good one

[complain jane]

29. FOX is planning a financial news channel to compete with CNBC.

I imagine this is the start of the smear campaign.

[CatholicEdHead]

68. Roger Alies who runs Faux News started CNBC

before Murdoch hired him away.

[warrens]

30. What a whining little shit-eater

Your life is one long cheap shot, punk.

[grateful581]

31. so O'liely can bash news outlets on a regular basis

but no one else can.
what a bunch of bullshit!

[tanyev]

33. Oooooh, you tell them, Bill. Bet they're quaking in their boots now.

[movonne]

34. Yes but it is alright to put ann coulter on...I am so sick of them.

[SillyGoose]

37. Who does this jerk think he is? Always issuing warnings and pointing

that GD finger at people. He's a damn control-freak.

[badgervan]

41. dork

I don't listen to arrogant assholes, and I would hope that those who run NBC feel the same.

[madmark]

44. it gives ko something else to have fun with; and colbert for that matter

[Orsino]

46. Why waste the expensive shots...

...on a bunch of cheap hacks like FOX?

[applegrove]

47. Faux isn't news. It's entertaining propaganda programing. Go NBC!

Afterall doesn't Faux go on and on about the "liberal media"?

[JerseygirlCT]

50. Such a blowhard. He's aspiring to bully

but hasnt' got anything to back it up.

[peaceistheway]

51. I loved how he said he was the reason gas prices were going down

He thinks he so frigging important.

[JerseygirlCT]

52. Did he really?

I pay just about no attention to the jerk. So I miss some of the really funny ones unless someone here points them out.

Thanks for the chuckle!

[peaceistheway]

59. Oh yeah, mr. self importance.

O’REILLY: I have guys inside the five major oil companies - my father used to work for one of those oil companies by the way - who have told me that in those meetings they look for every way to jack up oil prices after Katrina, every way, when they didn’t have to. They got scared because of my reporting and reporting of some others. They said, “Uh ho.”

CAVUTO: So wait a minute, you’re not, you’re taking credit for gas prices being down from where they are?

O’REILLY: I said my reporting and some reporting of others. They got scared.

This was from, of course, Faux news.

http://thinkprogress.org/2005/12/01/oreilly-lowers-gas-prices/

Stick with me darlin and you'll be alright...

[antonialee839]

54. Yeah Falafel boy, Glenn Beck is full of that CNN class.

:rofl:

Here's a look at Bill's enemy list thus far:

-New York Daily News


- The St. Petersburg Times


- MSNBC


- The New Yorker Magazine


- Newsday


- US News & World Report


- Atlanta Journal-Constitution

[rodeodance]

55. hey Bob--big bad Bill is shaking his finger at you---whatcha gonna do?

[rodeodance]

57. The WORST person of the DAY goes to Bill O'Lielly!!--says K. Olberman

love it each time he does it.

[Not_So_Right_Wing]

58. O'Really is a gas bag.

He is a liar, philanderer, and an egotistical maniac.

[SuperWonk]

61. This part surprised me ...

"CNN, for example, usually competes with class, not bitterness. Likewise, we respect ABC and CBS for their work ethic and competitive zeal."

Did this surprise anyone? Does he get any credit for giving these networks their due?

What do you make of it?

[pschoeb]

62. Well, He worked for ABC and CBS at one point in his career

So he isn't likely to diss them in toto. Besides his radio show is inderctly owned by Viacom, which owns CBS, so he probably wouldn't wan to diss them as a complete entity.

[Not_So_Right_Wing]

77. O'Really is a liar...

He bashes those networks all the time...
No respect for a piece of sh*t like O'Really....

[truthisfreedom]

63. o'reilly is about as frightening as a snuck fart in a nice restaurant.

intensely annoying but totally laughable.

[The Backlash Cometh]

64. O'Reilly tells Wright: "Yo Bobby. Tell your boys to back off, or you're

going to sleep with the fishes."

[robbedvoter]

65. Before, or after bears?

[Rex]

67. STFU vibrator-butt!

God what a joke, I wonder how many Fox interns O'Pervy has tried to sexually assault? NBC should call him Bill McCarthy and do an expose on Billy's career in the 'news field'.

[lovuian]

70. I feel like this is an endorsement for NBC!!! Whoo Hoo NBC!!!

They took down CBS and now NBC is on the hit list...

[David Zephyr]

71. Robert Wright Will Cave to O'Reilly.

No doubt.

[fishwax]

72. aw, poor bill

his feelings must be really hurt.

:rofl:

[Erika]

73. Keith was beautiful tonight

He mentioned O'Lielly's ratings had gone down 21% and Keith's ratings had gone up 31%.

[PBass]

74. Dild O'Reilly can dish it out, but he can't take it. He's a wimp.

[leesa]

76. When is recess over?
