A look at the Olbermann-O'Reilly feud

This morning has brought out a few interesting stories about various cable news personalities.  First up is the continuing feud between Fox News star Bill O'Reilly and MSNBC star Keith Olbermann.  In this mornings Washington Post,  Howard Kurtz details how the feud that started a few years ago between Olbermann and O'Reilly has gone to the parent companies.  O'Reilly for the last few months has been attacking GE for doing business with Iran, all in response to Olbermann naming Fox News personalities the "Worst Person in the World" on his show.

The second story comes from the New York Post, which is owned by News Corp, who is the parent of Fox News.  In the famed "Page Six" section, Robert John writes about how Olbermann maybe melting down.  As you can read below.

From the NY Post:

IS Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's top-rated anchor, on the verge of yet another professional meltdown? His feuding with "Hardball" host Chris Matthews is nothing new. But now we're told notoriously odd Olbermann is lashing out at the rest of his network's talking heads. During West Virginia primary coverage the other night, Olbermann began pounding the table when lead White House reporter David Gregory didn't wrap his segment quickly enough to satisfy him. Olbermann recently encouraged management to oust the cable channel's lone conservative, Tucker Carlson, and it's also no secret among producers that Olbermann refuses to introduce Dan Abrams' show, which follows his own. Olbermann walked out of MSNBC years ago in a huff after also blowing up at ESPN, so TV insiders are curious if this recent behavior is a sign that history will repeat itself. MSNBC did not respond to our calls and e-mails seeking comment.

Chris Matthews schools that other Kevin James

Its been viewed almost a half million times on youtube, and MSNBC.com, so it has to be here.  Last night on Hardball on MSNBC, Chris Matthews and Los Angeles conservative radio host Kevin James went back and forth about what Neville Chamberlain and the Nazis in 1938.This was after President Bush's speech in the middle East.  Needless to Kevin James really wasn't ready to play "hardball."  I have to say I feel bad for Mark Green, when Chris Matthews gets going, you can't stop him, especially when someone gets there history wrong.  As you will see below.

Mike Huckabee tries to0 hard for the laugh

Breaking tonight, former presidential candidate Gov. Mike Huckabee at a National Rifle Assocation meeting make an off color joke about Sen. Barack Obama, that has had a lot of backlash in the last few hours.  In the last few hours Gov. Huckabee has apologized for his comment about Sen. Obama.  Part of his speech and the "joke" are below.

Colbert does an O'Reilly

Everyone knows how much The Colbert Report looks up to the O'Reilly Factor, but Stephen Colbert just took it a step closer.  On his show a few nights ago, he showed his "Papa Bears" rant, then Colbert showed a rant of his own.  Truly classic Colbert.

Local News, you can't miss

Sue Simmons who has worked for the local New York NBC affilate (WNBC) for years, dropped one of the seven words you can't say on public TV.  She dropped a major F-bomb during the channels 10 p.m. promo.  She later apologized for the slip of tongue.  The video of the F-bomb is below,  followed by the apology from Ms. Simmons.

Classic Bill O'Reilly

At this point I think millions of people have seen this video, so I have to do my civic duty and put it up as well.  Many may not have known Bill O'Reilly hosted Inside Edition in the 90s, but he did.  You can analyze the video and call it whatever you want.  I will call it funny.

Don Cherry comes to ESPN

CBC's Hockey Night in Canada main man Don Cherry made his first appearance on ESPN last week.  He did not disappoint in any case.  He wore a great Don Cherry style suit.  He also gave some great analyst on the two conference finals series going on right now between the Red Wings and Stars in the West, as well as the Flyers and Penguins in the East.
