Bill'O The Baby

How did Bill O'Reilly decided on the names on his enemy list?

Arianna Huffington takes a look:
Update: The Bill O'Reilly Blacklist

Is it because the Daily News broke the story in 2004 that he had settled his infamous "falafel" sexual harassment suit for between $2 million and $10 million? Let's run that one through the No Spin Zone.

The St. Petersburg Times probably owes its spot to the running feud O'Reilly has had with the paper's Eric Deggans, a columnist whom he disparaged on his TV show as "a dishonest, racially motivated correspondent writing for perhaps the worst newspaper in the country." Deggans had criticized O'Reilly for giving cover to the federal government's response to Katrina. So now payback's a list?

As for MSNBC, that network's Keith Olbermann has regularly taken O'Reilly to the cable-news-woodshed -- mentioning him on no less than 43 shows over the last thirteen months. And on Wednesday night Olbermann gave O'Reilly the three top slots in his "Worst Person in the World" segment, saying of O'Reilly's list: "You call it defamation, Bill. We call it precise quotes from your show."


So "media defamers" = people that make Bill'O look bad with honest reporting?

What a secure, tough man. No wonder his ratings are in the toilet.
