Fox News Calls Olbermann 'Over the Line'


PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Fox News Channel chairman and CEO Roger Ailes responded to Keith Olbermann's latest critical volley against Bill O'Reilly on Monday, saying the MSNBC host's behavior "is over the line."

Ailes, appearing Monday at the summer meeting of the Television Critics Association, was referring to a weekend incident at the gathering in which Olbermann whipped out a mask of O'Reilly and gave a Nazi salute.

Ailes said Olbermann picks on Fox's O'Reilly to boost his ratings.

"Clearly he has no viewers except those he gets when he attacks Fox News," Ailes said.

1. "Somebody stop him!"

The man is out of control.

2. "Clearly he has no viewers except those he gets when he attacks Fox News,"

LOL, you'd think they'd have learned when they attacked Franken's "Lies.." and it became a best-seller.

[VegasWolf]

3. Exposing Fox News is bad? How so Ailes? Turd news! nt

5. And what do they think of O'Lielly and Coultergeist?

Just to take those two weirdos for example.

6. Hateful Right Wing Faux News A/K/A NAZI CENTRAL

Liars and ass clowns all

[bemildred]

7. Truth is never over the line. nt

[OKthatsIT]

32. But FOX wouldn't know that....their appeal is 'denial based'

[poverlay]

8. If Faux hates you, you're doing something right and good! Congratulations

Keith!

9. i wasn't sure keith was one of us, but now i'm sure.. GO KEITH!! n/t

[krkaufman]

20. You don't have to be "one of us" to be against O'Lielly.

Basic fairness and truth are anathema to the man, and any decent human should object to his continued access to the media pulpit -- especially under the guise of news or journalism.

[Roy]

30. Now to get his producers to allow him to do his show unfettered

n/t

[Demit]

10. Fox News gets AP to print a press release. Yawn. n/t

11. "Stop being mean to me. Whine whine whine." - O'Felafel

Republicon propagandists -- what a bunch of chickenhawk crybabies

[Catshrink]

37. Nice photoshop of the asshat himself.

:rofl:

[mtnester]

12. If this was no big thing to Faux News, they would not even react

the fact is, they react so vehemently, one has to wonder. EVERY time.

IMO, you GO Keith! He has to be LOVING it.

[stepnw1f]

13. Faux News Bubble Poped Some Time Ago

thanks to their own extremism.

[theguvnorgc]

14. Where do we sign up?

For the K.O. fan club???

[depakid]

15. Fox is fortunate there's no media regulation- yet

because if there were- they'd long ago have been divested of their holdings and lost their licences to broadcast.

[Vogon_Glory]

31. Fox's Trust Needs To Be Busted

The next Democratic President needs to do some hard-nosed trust-busting in the best progressive fashion. Newscorp ought to be that Democratic administration's first target.

[PCIntern]

16. Screw FOX...

These c--ksu--ers constantly do whatever the f--k they want and everyone's just supposed to roll over and play dead.

[genieroze]

17. Do you want some whine with your Olbermann, Faux Spews?

[sakabatou]

18. Ring-a-ding-ding, this is the kettle calling

He'd like you to stop calling him black, Roger...

[Mz Pip]

19. Funny from the folks

who trot out Coulter every chance they get. :rofl:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Disturbed]

21. O'Liely is a top Comedian on Faux but

his ratings are in free fall. KO's ratings are moving up.

[librechik]

22. O'Reilly could sue KO for illegally using his image

except that it probably gave him cooties. maybe KO should sue OLielly for making him "look bad" for a minute or two.

[David Zephyr]

23. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

The Fox Crowd raced into the U.S. news market by attacking CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS relentlessly. The personal and vicicous assaults by Fox's puppet anchors against their competitors like Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Ted Koppel are probably without measure.

Further, the Fox Crowd always takes swing at the New York Times BECAUSE it owns the competitve New York Post.

So this crying by Roger Ailes is a laugh riot.

Obviously, Keith just needs to keep it up.

[warrens]

24. Keep pounding the lying fascists, Keith

Yer making them squeal like the pigs they are.

[Homer Wells]

25. POT, Meet Kettle

Kettle Meet Pot

FAUX has no room to talk when speaking about going "over the line."

Prefer KO to BO or Coultergeist, anytime!

[stop the bleeding]

27. you said it n/t

[screenplaya]

26. I guess O'Reilly finally whined enough to Ailes...

that Roger had to say something. They so deserve one another.

[Maeve]

28. So...insulting O'Liely is good for your ratings? Thanks for the tip, Faux!

:rofl:

[GrantDem]

29. In other words --->>>

Keep up the good work Keith :toast:

[msanthrope]

33. Drawing a line in the felafel with a loofah, are they? n/t

[MarinCoUSA]

34. Roger Ailse is as feminazi. Right? n/t

[StaggerLee]

35. Squirm Faux News!

Squirm!

[indypaul]

36. To quote another MSNBC personality

"We are not happy, 'til your not happy." Screw you Roger
and the horse you rode in on.

[PerceptionManagement]

38. Taste the Pain, Roger. It's going to get a lot worse.

[rodeodance]

39. what a bunch of cry babies= fighting for little ol bratty Bill.

[Bush_MUST_Go]

40. Fox has NO LINE, why do they get to decide WHERE KO's line is.
