WAAAH! FOX News calls Olbermann's behavior "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.

Of Saturday's incident, Ailes said, "I really think that's over the line."

3. LOL
I don't think I need the likes of Ailes telling me what is "over the line". Go fuck yourself, Ailes.

7. Why would picking on an old Luffa give him rating, Jack?
Edited on Tue Jul-25-06 01:53 AM by John Q. Citizen
Is it because the viewing audience hates Luffa?

8. Where IS the line ?
I think quoteing from the non-existent PARIS BUSINESS REVIEW (as O'Reilly did) should get a faux journalist fired.
Clean up your act and then we'll talk about the 'line'.

He's such a pig.

11. These gutless bullies always cry like babies
when someone else lands one (or a dozen, in Olbermann's case) on THEM.

Cry, Roger, weep and piss and moan.

:evilgrin:

12. Amazing! O'Reilly and other Fox talking toilets have been
engaging in character assassination and trash talk for years. KO points it out, and they get all trembly and hurt. Go, KO! KO clearly understands how Fox operates and he knows how to deal with them. Dems need to learn this and back these jerks into the caves they crawled out of.

You should have expressed yourself this way: FUCK FOX NEWS

Much better, don't you think? 8>p

15. This is interesting.
Also Monday, Ailes said Fox will mark its 10th anniversary with a "Thank You America" tour this fall. Shows fronted by O'Reilly, Shepard Smith, Greta Van Susteren, Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes, and Neil Cavuto will do live versions of their shows from 10 cities around the country, including Boston, Chicago, Dallas and San Diego.

I'd like to go to one of these shows and express my thanks for what FOX is doing to my country.

17. Who cares what Fox "News" thinks?
The likes of O'Reilly are a disgrace to real journalists. Keep it up, Keith!
