Olbermann’s O’Reilly Obsession
Every time, it seems, I’m in the gym and they play Olbermann, that angry leftist devotes at least one segment of his show to bashing Bill O’Reilly.
Now, I wonder if that FoxNews host, with an audience twice that of his MSNBC counterpart, ever devotes any attention to the obsessed leftist. While I do watch O’Reilly from time to time, I don’t watch him all that much and don’t recall him ever mentioning Olbermann.
So, those of you who watch him more often than do I, please let me know, does he ever pay mention the man so obsessed with him?

I watch O’Reilly on a regular basis, but not every night.
Do not recall Bill ever mentioning Olbermann.

I think I saw something about a back and forth on Olbermannwatch.com.

I may be in the minority here, but I’d love to see the two of them beat the crap out of each other. They’re both a couple of blow-hards. Neither is worth my time.

And who could forget this classic exchange?

And then there’s this despicable douchebag.

I watch The O´Reilly Factor every nightand never have I heard him mention Olberman´s name. Barney is getting a lot of attention lately.

I have stopped watching him lately because … just because there is too much griping in the world. I will probably start watching him again soon. I go through these phases.
But to the question at hand … Yes, he does but it is usually very quick and in the context of everyone who attacks him. I don’t remember a segment being devoted to Olbermann alone.
It’s amazing what a little negative attention seeking behavior will do to bolster one’s own sense of notoriety as well as build more viewers. Both sides do it.

He’s mentioned him…but not in detail.
O’Reilly takes his hits at olberman in the form of comments on Fox ratings vs. MSNBC ratings.

Really? When did Olbermann take time off from bashing Sarah Palin?

dazegonebye, but does O’Reilly mention those ratings on his show? Just curious.

I also watch The O’Reilly Factor on a semi-daily basis, and he mostly skewers Al Franken as “Stuart Smalley” and the GE/NBC complex.
No mention of Keith Olberfrau, otherwise known as “Bathtub Boy” on NewsBusters.org – which is a very good site.
I think last night he took on Chrissy “Tingles” Matthews.

O’Reilly infuriates d”Obermann by ignoring him. O’Reilly is too busy trashing NBC as a whole and GE in particular to take on one of their stable boys. O’Reilly knows what d’Obermann is shoveling and sees no reason to take on the comparison.
For a long time, I thought O’Reilly was gunning for President. Then I thought he was gunning for Pope. Then I heard him interviewed by Imus. O’Reilly really does have an impressive resume. He is a stuff shirted jerk who is too proud to be so awfully tall, but so far, he hasn’t muffed any big bouts. (However, back in 2004, he really didn’t knock Michael Moore out. In fact, Michael Moore scored almost even points on O’Reilly.)

Let Dopie keep on bashing Bill. It only makes him look idiotic. Dopie could only get the kind of rating Bill has in his dreams!

I only remember O’Reilly mentioning Olbermann once and he wasn’t the main subject of the segment.

Olbermann is jealous.
