(319,114 posts)44. O'Reilly Unloads On 'Weasel,' 'Beneath Contempt' WaPo Columnist Dana Milbank
"Bill O'Reilly is pretty defensive about his Super Bowl interview with President Obama.
Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank learned as much on Tuesday. Milbank dared to write a critical piece on the nationally televised interview, and he unleashed O'Reilly's famous temper.
"He's a weasel, in my opinion. Beneath contempt," O'Reilly told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
O'Reilly said that Milbank shouldn't expect an invitation to the "No Spin Zone" anytime soon partly because "the audience despises him."
But O'Reilly couldn't care less about Milbank.
"I care that the Washington Post employs him," O'Reilly said. "That's what I care about. Whatever he says, doesn't bother me because I know where it's coming from. But the fact that the Washington Post would employ a guy like that I mean, it's really disturbing."
Really, it's not about Milbank.
"But Im not on a jihad against Milbank. Im on a jihad, a holy war, against declining standards of journalism. The Washington Post editors if they watched the interview, which, God knows if they did or not had to know that Milbank was lying," O'Reilly continued."
The rest of the shining example of journalistic integrity of bill o'reilly.. brawawaaaaaaa

Why did we watch the superbowl at all, given it was conveyed to us by and massively profited Fox?

Agree, but Obama made a fool of Bill-O and set in stone Bill-O's and Fox's idiotic witch trial.
