On the surface, O'Reilly's charges revolve around GE's history of doing business with Iran. But the attacks grow out of feud between O'Reilly and GE's subsidiary, NBC. According to sources, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes warned that if Olbermann didn't stop such attacks against Fox, he would unleash O'Reilly and the New York Post against NBC.

        This billy O idiot is a pompous ass!The right of this country has suck the life out of the terrorist card. I wonder if they were told the story of the boy who cried wolf? People are not buying it, also i cant see a defender of halliburton going after GE, ask yourself which of these two companies has done more harm to this nation? It's strange to me that people can watch Billy O and take him seriously. First off he sucks as a news man and you can tell that he is being untrue. He just plain old sucks!

        This guy acts like such a tough guy and here he cries like a baby, because someone calls him a name. Aw suck it up and grow a pair! The remind me of the kid in school that hits you and run crying to the teacher the moment he gets hit back,

      Awww poor Billy he got his feelings hurt and now he's mad at everybody!

      It is a shame that people's personalities are more important then the real news.

          There is an old saying in media battles. Never attack a man in print when he buys Ink by the barrel.

          Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch should consider a corollary to that rule. Never call a man out for a fight when you shoot ink and he works for one of the world's largest defense contractors.

          O'Reilly is a clown not a news man; how can anyone even take him seriously?

            Blow hard Billy doesn't like it when he gets hit back. Big pu**y. Just an overated neoloon who thinks he has all the answers. hahahahahaaaa

            Of course no-one stops to think that maybe GEs' presence in Iran is a good thing. They are keeping a watchful eye on things I'm sure they don't want to get caught up in a war there.

            Beside if we continue to try to isolate Iran like Bushies want to I'll guarantee you there will be war.

            It's like this. I'm a peaceful type of guy. LOL Now there are some people I don't like so I avoid them and have as little to do with them as possible.

            You keep putting me in the same room and pushing me into them they are going to be unhappy and so am I. We will end up in a fight.

            Bush and his neoloons are trying to start WWIII they want Armageddon.

            They are to stupid to realise that they are the ones who will suffer for their choices.

            ******Disclaimer Alert*******I frequently watch Countdown with Olbermann and have NEVER watched a full episode of O'Reilly. That being said.......

            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            I have, on occasion, seen Olbermann make a correction, apologize for an inappropriate comment, AND retract misinformation.

            On the other hand, I've seen youtube clips where O'Reilly has lied, defended those lies, re-written transcripts to MANIPULATE those lies and continue to stand on a position that he has been shown to be inaccurate and incorrect.

            Say, are we REALLY sure that Bill O'Reilly and President Bush are NOT the same person? O'Reilly's action kind of sound a lot like those of GWB before the war in Iraq and in justifying keeping us there.

              Who pays O'Reily? Who sets the paramaters for what he can and cannot say? Who provides the airtime, and who edits his show, and proposes material for this airtime?

              Who is the father of neoconservatism? Where do his diciples practice their art? Who funds the right wing think tanks where O'reily and Bush and Cheney and Lamebaugh get their material? Who used 911 as an excuse to destroy Iraq?

              Who is Murdock, and what does he want?

              Who profits from the controversy and war between the cons and libs? Who benifits from the war in Iraq, besides the Saudi Arabs who planned, financed and executed 911?

              That shoots the he11 out of your credibility. You must be one of ten people that watch Overbite.

              That idiot should be ignored so that he will go away. Inside Edition was a horrid tabloid show and that is where he cut his teeth. And wasn't he on A Current Affair for a little while?

              He hasn't moved very far from that format huh?

                  Olberman wears so much make-up that he looks like a French ******. Creepy.

                  This story so clearly shows us that our major media news groups do not deal in the truth. They are simply propoganderists who easily spin news storys for their own purposes. Their parent companies are all just war profiteers.

                    Orally is a blow hard. Not man enough to admit his mistakes. Has a real problem with the truth.

                    Olbermann is intelligent, has a good vocabulary and a real sense of history. He admits his mistakes and has a real problem with the lack of truth in others. Very intolerant of that sort of thing.

                    And the feud goes on. Olbermann should leave poor Orally allow. It's not fair to fight an unarmed (read that as "ignorant") man when you have such an awesome arsenal yourself.

                      Bill O'Reilly is the man! Keith Olbermann is a third rate chump compared to him. When O'Reilly speaks things get done and get done good. But as usual most nazi liberal cry babies can't handle it. Check the ratings. They speak the truth.

                        O"Reilly is a pompous, bullying bloward who only gets the last word because he shuts his opponent's mike off. The only folks who watch him are pathetic weenies who wish they had the rudimentary huevos to be the bullying bigmouth dullard that he is.

                        The only thing more pathetic than O'Reilly are his wannabes.
