Now if Branden really wanted to pull a Bill-O, he would come back on .. after you corrected his mistake .. on the award Colbert said. and fire back with something like this.

"I said Peabody, not Pulitzer, damn it, and you can't prove I didn't! Show me where I said Pulitzer, you can't because it didn't happen!"

Accidentally saying the wrong award isn't 'pulling an O'Reilly.

Claiming the wrong award, being proven wrong, then denying you ever claimed the wrong award, ... thats "pulling an O'Reilly."

Just my 2 cents

Of course Fox is an endless fount of material for those who seek to lampoon the modern media.....the irony which exists between, on this hand, what you'd expect a "news" channel to report and how you'd expect "journalists" to comport themselves on such a channel, and on the other hand, the reality that is Fox, is colossal.

IMO, Bill O'Reilly doesn't really know what to make of Colbert. Not even after having him on as a guest in full-blown "Colbert Report" persona. Which makes Colbert's nightly skewering of RW blowhard extraordinaire Papa Bear so much more brilliant.

Truthiness, thy name is Fox News.

It sounds crazy on the surface, but in many ways they are.

Fox behaves in a manner that not only invites, but demands ridicule and exposure, and they need to be laughed at and marginalized constantly.

Merely complaining about the things they do, or debating on their level about individual points of their agenda only legitimizes them.

They need to be treated as a joke, because they are a joke. And you only need to use their own words to show that.

Bill O'Reilly: "I think Bush is doing what Jesus would have done".

Are you MF kidding me?

Sure, they're always going to have their "fan base" (as do the National Enquirer and the Insane Clown Posse), but their claim to being a credible news source (much less "fair and balanced") is bullshit and needs to be exposed as such.

Make fun of Fox as much as you can. It’s easy and fun--they’ve already done the hard part for you.

I'm aware. The reason I say Bill doesn't know how to take him is that Bill has Friends and Enemies, and nothing in between. Enemies get mentioned ad nauseum, while Friends get mentioned only to bolster Bill's credibility, or when they appear in his stead on the occasion of Bill's numerous vacations. Colbert hasn't been mentioned since his appearance (to my knowledge), and therefore, is to be considered off of Bill's radar.

And if Bill really enjoys being mocked, how does one explain his utter antipathy to Media Matters, who mock and ridicule him pretty much every day with his own imbecilic words?

Hilarious...

It is truly amazing - absolutely friggin' amazing, that anyone in this country, regardless of education level, is so incredibly fuckin' stupid, that they actually take Fox Noise (and throw in conservative idiot AM hate-jock radio) and clowns like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, John Gibson, Neil Cavuto, etc., ect., etc., seriously for a Goddamned nanosecond.

A Lack of Intelligence

Jacob Heilbrunn

[Review]
THE COMMISSION
The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation.
By Philip Shenon.

[Excerpts]

Though Shenon vividly illuminates the obstacles to holding high-level intelligence and government officials accountable for their bungling, he doesn’t discuss the reforms passed by Congress after the 9/11 report appeared. He might have noted that absent charges of personal culpability and punishment for failure, intelligence officials have little incentive to improve their performance. And for all the sound and fury about intelligence lapses, the Congressional reforms themselves amounted to little more than shuffling boxes on paper. Perhaps the greatest shortcoming of the commission itself was to endorse a patchwork of feel-good reforms that simply slathered on a new layer of bureaucracy in the form of the director of national intelligence, who lacks the authority to supervise the unwieldy 16 agencies that constitute the intelligence community.

But even if it functions perfectly, this community can’t, as Shenon’s account abundantly demonstrates, control the politics of intelligence. If anything, the Bush administration’s ideological approach before 9/11 appears similar to its response to terrorism after it. The commissioner John Lehman probably got closest to the truth when he told Shenon that before 9/11, Bush administration officials were “just besotted” with missile defense, Iraq and other issues, concluding, “They were living in another world.”

Apparently, they still are.

FAIR reported, years ago, that BillO made about $22M, that was before he started his radio show, and I don't know if it includes his book deals.

Radioequalizer (consider the source) reported, last year, that Hannity had just signed a 5-year $125M contract with WABC. You'd have to think he gets at least that amount from Fox, then there's his book, and the money he's ripping off from his Freedom Concerts.

So, when these guys argue in favor of making the Bush tax cuts for the top 1% permanent, they REALLY feel that way!
