The feud between Bill O’Reilly and Keith Olbermann continues, despite word of a peace deal: On Monday Olbermann said there was no truce and awarded O’Reilly the silver medal for “World’s Worst Person.” Then he gave the gold to Fox News honcho Rupert Murdoch. O’Reilly kept up the battle last night with an attack on MSNBC-parent company General Electric, the Huffington Post reports.
O’Reilly slammed GE's CEO for cozying up to President Obama and getting bailout cash while at the same time paying $50 million to settle an SEC investigation over accounting fraud. “Think about that: GE defrauds the public, has to pay $50 million in fines, but could conceivably use taxpayer loan money to do it,” O’Reilly said. He also hammered GE for polluting.
