Don't find a lot wrong with what he was quoted as saying in the article.

Except for Olbermann MSNBC has a clearly Neocon agenda.
They had Jerry Falewell on EVERY DAY telling us to hate liberals gays, etc. during Clinton.
I even sent an e-mail to them last year saying how the bloggers love it when their "anchors" throw in anti-Democracy quips at the end of a story when the story didn't match up to the pro-bush agenda.
It actually made those two ladies stop with the after-hate.
They still get plenty of anti-Democrat digs in DURING the stories though.
O'Reilly is just hacked off that Olbermann (and the networks) are kicking his hate-filled ass in the ratings.

'O'Reilly: CNN, MSNBC "delight in showing Iraqi violence"â;¦'
CBS with Dan 'The Liar' Rather, CNN, Msmbc, are Onesided, Bias, and Misleading in their reporting...
This Is a fact... Just watch and Listen, this is their MO from day One...
Wolfgang Blitzer, Dan Rather and Honio jane Fonda seem to have the same Montra... BS, BS, BS...

Poor Guy! How does O'Reilly still top the ratings, I used to like him probably because I was prejudiced as he's Irish.

NONE delight in the showing of that violence. That is a horrible suggestion that anyone would. Bill should take his own advice and "Shut Up!"

Another impassioned plea from a sick conservative media ****** to stop showing the truth about an illegal war based on corporate profiteering and the horrendous affects said war has on people. The reason for this ridiculous plea, because "it makes Bush and Co. look bad" !!!!!!!!!!!! O'Reilly is really just a dumb f**k.

O'Reilly asserted: "In my opinion, CNN and especially MSNBC delight in showing Iraqi violence because they want Americans to think badly of President Bush. And that strategy has succeeded."
And the alternative is?? Hide your head in the sand and pretend like nothing is happening? When soldiers are getting killed overseas, people want to know if the fight is worthwhile and if there is progress being made. Right now there is a dispute on both.

O'Reilly is one who can never take criticism himself. Loves to dish it out but will cut your microphone off if he doesn't like what you're saying. He is a right wing apologist pretending to be fair and balanced. The ridiculous claim that, "The terrorists are going to set off a bomb every day, because they know CNN and MSNBC are gonna put it on the air. That's a strategy for the other side, the terrorist side. So I'm taking an argument that CNN and MSNBC are actually helping the terrorists by reporting useless explosions," is making the case that our troops wouldn't be bombed if the bombings weren't shown by CNN or MSNBC. Who is he kidding. The terrorists and insurgence will continue to bomb our troops because they are over there and not because they're on TV.
