Lawrence O'Donnell Channels Bill O'Reilly (Warning - explicit language)

Is it the "O'" that affects that part of their control center in their brain?

1. Lest we forget:

Nobody's perfect.

2. That Was It?

I've heard worse things in an ordinary day in the cubicle jungle.

And the usual crap that makes up a Fox Propaganda Channel broadcast day in terms of obscenity.

3. I don't think he was unhinged, just super annoyed with the glitches

[tomhagen]

4. To be fair hes trying to conduct a serious cogent show. Jackhammers not welcome

5. This clip undermines

.....an important voice we need desperately in these dire times. It's a non-story. He's under a lot of pressure. The noise seemed to actually hurt his ears and brain. We can't imagine the tension of having to go on camera at a set time completely on top of one's material. Continuing to display this is not helpful to the side that wants genuine journalism and that relies on Lawrence to bring us that.

He's apologized. Very gracefully.

The day to move on was yesterday.

6. This IS a story - Remarkable DU hypocrisy

Endless clips of O' Reilly exploding all over the studio, little sympathy for the tension he was under. Seems like when the pancake is flipped and it is just as burnt as the other side we seem to view it differently.

O'Donnell proves he's just as nasty on the air as others with his phony grin and soft voice selling himself.

8. O'Reilly was a predator.

Repeatedly. When we saw him freak out on camera it was within that context. He was already a proven liar and SOB and serial sexual harasser.

O'Reilly did really ugly FOX style stories and nothing but, in that smarmy way of his for years. Nothing like Lawrence's reporting on the issues.

Seems like you want to do a hit piece on Lawrence.

10. Says a Billy Bullshit defender.

No equivalence.

7. He was totally being an asshole to his crew.

I sure wouldn't want to work for him.

9. It shows he's human and conducts himself professionally when necessary

Some of you may remember a time when we are holding a conversation on our landline phones and a third party line gets attached to our conversation. The third line sometimes hold their own conversation and cannot her us on the line. It was most annoying and mostly we've just hung up because there was no way to disconnect the third party. I think he's conducted himself most professionally here since he's showing the annoyance only when off the air. In todays environment, how are we all not going mad with a madman-in-chief, it has affected all of us in different ways. Lawrence shows us he's human and will readily admit his faults and he apologized - that shows strength in character. Kudos for Lawrence, as I feel the same somedays.

11. I REALLY understands Lawrence O'Donnell's feelings here...

I was on national television in a remote controlled studio, and the tech people gave me so loud feedback of my own voice, that I could hardly focus on talking. After the show, I was using some of Lawrence O'Donnell's language to make sure they would check for this problem next time. But yes, we should be nicer to all the people around us, even if not being televised...

13. Exactly!

12. Why are you so critical here?

"is it the "O'" that affects that part of their control center in their brain?"

Most ppl, even professionals, expect their professional crew to get it right when time is limited. And we do not know what other triggers he was dealing with.

The only person in my personal life I've never heard blow up in expletives when extremely frustrated is my hyper-religious mother who would slam doors over and over.

14. What, like Obama ? What are you trying to suggest here about the 'O' ?
