<SNIP> Olbermann opened his session by whipping out a mask of O'Reilly - a poke at Fox asking journalists to accept handout photos of TCA news conferences from photographers the network had hired.

"We thought we'd help you out, those of you who needed a good photograph of," Olbermann said, pausing to hold up O'Reilly's photo glued to a stick as reporters laughed.

<SNIP> O'Reilly has referred to Olbermann - although not by name - as a "notorious smear merchant" and pointed out his low ratings.

Olbermann said his phone number has been distributed at Fox and his e-mail hacked into.

"They're annoying things, and that's about it. That's the price you pay," he said. "Nothing that you do in putting yourself in the public eye is for free. I can live with it."

I think I've heard O'Reilly refer to Olbermann by name a couple of times - at least before he outlawed it's utterence by those calling in to his radio program.:eyes:
