      (MS)NBC Generates, Draws Heat

      MSNBC's recent success is a thorn in the side of its competitors, the politicians who accuse the network of bias, and an unlikely third party—NBC News. The cable network's opinionated anchors and the broadcast sibling's more traditional approach are increasingly entangled, the AP reports, and critics don't share the NBC News president's confidence that viewers can make the distinction.

      O'Reilly Blasts at GE Coming From Upstairs

      Bill O’Reilly’s campaign against General Electric—the Fox News host has called CEO Jeffrey Immelt a “despicable human being” for doing business with Iran—is part of a feud with NBC that extends far up corporate ladders, the Washington Post reports. Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes apparently loosed O’Reilly on GE in retaliation for attacks by host Keith Olbermann on GE subsidiary MSNBC. More »

      O'Reilly Interview: Clinton Glad Obama 'Finally' Spoke

Fox News offered a peek before the interview airs tonight on the O'Reilly Factor . More »

      Clinton Preparing For O'Reilly Factor Debut

      Hillary Clinton will sit down for the first time with Bill O’Reilly tomorrow, the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Fox's Fortunes Fall With GOP's

      Fox News soared eight years ago by hitching its star to Republicans in general and George W. Bush in particular; now that the president’s in decline and its one-sided approach is no mystery, the channel has hit the skids. Democrats' refusal to debate on Fox damaged its reputation—and the station’s been embarrassingly unable to get candidate access, Salon 's Eric Boehlert writes. More »

      O'Reilly Frets Over Outing of Wizard

      Perhaps worried that JK Rowling has opened the closet too widely, Bill O'Reilly has made Albus Dumbledore's outing a frequent topic this week, bemoaning the promotion of “parity for homosexuals with heterosexuals.” Calling the Harry Potter author a “provocateur,” the Fox anchor says adults are worried about the “indoctrination of their children,” Media Matters transcripts reveal.

      O'Reilly's Rant Wasn't His Imus Moment

      The firestorm over Bill O'Reilly's statement that a Harlem restaurant was "exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks" may be overblown, writes New York Times blogger Mike Nizza. While liberal groups are gleefuly taking aim, Nizza says the conservative pundit was recounting a conversion and guilty of no more than being a sheltered white guy. More »

      Officer Resigns After Racist YouTube Rants

      The Ohio patrol officer who made racially charged comments in homemade videos posted on YouTube resigned yesterday, the Columbus Dispatch reports. Susan Purtee, who was reassigned to desk duty after the videos drew national attention, will resign effective Sept. 22 and seek retirements from an unnamed disability. “Clearly, she does not deserve to wear the badge,” Columbus’ mayor said.

      O'Reilly: Time To Listen Up On Illegals

      Last week's smackdown between Fox foes Bill O’Reilly and Geraldo Rivera entertained millions of YouTube addicts but shed little light on the issue that was the subject of their screaming fight:  Do illegal immigrants increase crime? In fact, Harvard sociologist Robert J. Sampson tells Salon, immigrants both legal and illegal actually commit  fewer violent crimes than Americans born here. More »
