Does Glenn Beck Deserve a Prime-Time Slot on Fox News?
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyOn Glenn Beck's radio show recently, the host shared a discussion he had prior to Saturday's "Restoring Honor" rally with Fox News' colleague Bill O'Reilly (video below). According to Beck, O'Reilly told him: "I tell you what: If you have over a hundred or 200,000 [at the rally], you need to anchor the 8 p.m. show." O'Reilly's comments, of course, were probably made in jest. But it does make one wonder -- if Glenn Beck can turn out 300,000 supporters (estimates vary) to the Lincoln Memorial, has he earned a prime-time spot? That Glenn Beck has achieved the level of success he has at the 5 ...
Campbell Brown Quits CNN With Shockingly Frank Farewell
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyCNN announced Tuesday that Campbell Brown is stepping down as anchor of . . . the Campbell Brown news show. But more surprising was the straight-talking 8 p.m. news anchor's unusual candor about the reasons for her departure. In an internal but quickly leaked farewell to her colleagues, Brown made clear that she'd decided to jump rather than wait to be pushed and asked to be released from her contract. Though she was more than willing to wrestle with the ever-elusive work-life balance, she won't mind hanging out with her two small sons for a while to "enjoy, for the very first time, the ...
O'Reilly-Stewart Smackdown: Spinning the Zone but Changing No Minds
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyOK, people, here's the nastiest, cruelest, cutting insult that Jon Stewart could spit out at Bill O'Reilly Wednesday night during the opening round of their much-ballyhooed smackdown on "The O'Reilly Factor'': "You have become, in some ways," said Stewart, drawing the knife, "the voice of sanity here, which is like being the thinnest kid at fat camp." O'Reilly, who reigns supreme in cable news with the No. 1 show on the No. 1 network, Fox News Channel, flicked that one away like a dust mote. Flashing that smug grin he's honed through years of success in his "No Spin Zone," the motto to live ...
Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly Face-Off on Fox News (Video)
By David Sessions - Politics DailyOn Wednesday night's edition of "The O'Reilly Factor," late-night comic Jon Stewart sat down for a rare interview on the network he makes a business out of criticizing: Fox News Channel. Stewart and O'Reilly debated Obama's first year in office and quarreled good-naturedly over Stewart's attacks on Fox. "I'm torn," Stewart said of Obama's time in office. "For me I can't tell if he's a Jedi Master, playing chess on a three-leveled board way ahead of us, or this is kicking his ass." In a more serious tone, Stewart said he believed Obama had made progress in some areas, such as restoring order ...

The Cable News Patrol: Rounding Up the Usual Suspects and Subjects
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyAlready, my life feels like it has been reduced to a cheesy Internet banner ad: "New York Man Watches TV at Home – And Is Paid for It, Just Like a Real Job." On Monday, I began my masochistic regimen of watching cable TV news for 12 hours a day in a valiant effort to...err...I dunno...maybe...probe the subterranean depths of the American political psyche. In truth, my motivation had something to do with frustration at being stuck at home recovering from Achilles tendon surgery (I told them that they could start the Trojan War without me). Perhaps others in my situation might be reading ...
The 'War on Christmas' Comes Under Attack
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Dec. 18) -- Only 7 culture-war-fighting days left until Dec. 25. The annual conflict over the season of peace is raging again -- but lately, with an added twist. As predictably as Santa appearing at the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and other conservative pundits have been cranking out War on Christmas reports. A few dispatches from the battlefront: "Why do they loathe the Baby Jesus?"; The Christmas Atheists Are Back; Why the Left Hates Christmas. Do the clerks say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" where you shop? Focus on the Family's Stand for ...
Bill O'Reilly - Keith Olbermann Feud Escalates; GE Responds to 'Smear Campaign'
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyGeneral Electric jumped into the long-standing feud between Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann after O'Reilly said that the company -- which owns NBC and MSNBC -- possibly supplies terrorists with material used in roadside bombs. GE said Wednesday that "The O'Reilly Factor" report is "irresponsible and maliciously false." Fox said the GE accusations are unrelated to the battles with MSNBC.The latest round in the O'Reilly-Olbermann fight started Tuesday when O'Reilly, reporting on a possible FBI probe of U.S. companies supplying components for bombs aimed at American ...
Bill O'Reilly Pens Love Letter to Obama in Parade Magazine
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyFox News commentator and human lightning rod Bill O'Reilly is considered one of the most polarizing and partisan talk-festers on TV – or at least that's been his reputation until now. All that may change on Sunday, when the combative conservative's Parade magazine piece carried in newspapers coast to coast hits front lawns and porches all over America. ...
The Olbermann-O'Reilly Cease-Fire: Truce and Consequences
By Bob Franken - Politics DailySo here's a question: Does the deal between Rupert Murdoch and Jeffrey Immelt -- the supreme leaders of NewsCorp. and GE, respectively -- to end the idiotic Keith Olbermann-Bill O'Reilly feud, constitute an antitrust violation? ...
