O'Reilly just can't resist BEING the news story instead of doing any actual reporting...

And this his most brazen attempt yet to divert the attention of the country onto himself. Murrow must be spinning in his grave....

God, WHY oh why are Colbert's writers on strike? This story would be PERFECT for him to spin off on...

1. Don't worry, we still have Keith.
And he has got to right now feel as if it is Christmas all over again and he is about eight years old.

Oh, and the only reason Murrow's not spinning in his grave is because he was cremated.

2. Are you crazy? He'll probably win another Peabody for his reporting today.

6. He's not a news reporter
He just presents opinion about the news. He has his own team of spin writers.

He's just one more "personality" on TV.

7. Exactly. He's an amateur ambush "journalist" not much different than an Alex Jones.

9. O'Reilly "might have" called Obama's campaigner an SOB. So he says....
What an ass.

10. I think he's an entertainer today
He's a "journalist" on other days. And he doesn't announce ahead of time. See, because if a television journalist with his own show wanted to interview Obama one-on-one, his producer would contact Obama's scheduler and set it up. Billo's just trying to stir up a spectacle in this little episode.

It's anyone's guess how much longer Faux is going to pay this arrested adolescent millions of dollars every year, but you have to figure that with his ratings going down, down, down, even Republican welfare has a limit.
