U.S. commandos missed with their first shot at Osama bin Laden, when the world’s most wanted man poked his head out of a third-floor room to see what was headed his way, according to U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee. Bin Laden ducked back in, and the Navy SEALS quickly followed and finished the job, Chambliss said in a telephone interview this afternoon. The missed shot was a new detail in the emerging story of the 40-minute raid on the Abbottabad compound in Pakistan. Chambliss also said commandos found a pistol and AK-47 in...

Who could have imagined that the words 'Jon Stewart,' 'praise,' and 'Bill O'Reilly' would ever be mentioned in the same breath? Well nay-sayers, eat your hearts out. Merely a week after lambasting former Fox conservative pundit Glenn Beck on his primetime cable hit, Jon Stewart took to The Daily Show to address another familiar face on Fox this time only to sing the praises of Bill O'Reilly, a popular TV host in his own right on Fox's The O'Reilly Factor. In a segment cryptically titled "Tales of Principled Behavior," Stewart criticized Republican Presidential hopeful and business honcho Donald Trump, former...

FLASH: FOXNEWS O'REILLY TAKES BACK TOP SPOT FROM 'GRETA' IN MONDAY AIRING WITH 2,907,000 VIEWERS TO HER 2,326,000...Drudge Report With all the hupla that the Greata over takes O'Reilly stuff generated thought this should be posted.

On Monday an angry Bill O’Reilly castigated U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon on the air for failing to appear on Fox News Channel’s "The O’Reilly Factor” and banned him from the show forever. What caused the Congressman to miss his time on the highest-rated talk show on cable TV may still be a mystery to Fox viewers. But NewsMax has uncovered some details of what happened. "He didn’t show up. He didn’t call. He didn’t do anything,” O’Reilly told viewers on Monday night, calling the Pennsylvania Republican’s no-show "grossly irresponsible.” "So he’s banned from ‘The Factor’ forever. And we thought you...

Congressman Curt Weldon, Republican, was scheduled to appear on "The Factor with Bill O'Reilly" after the bottom of the hour.O'Reilly announced that he was not there, had not called as to why he wouldn't be there, and his staff was not answering their phones.O'Reilly said he was only the second person in nine years to be a no-show. And, Weldon was booked at HIS REQUEST! As a result, Weldon was banned from "The Factor" for life.The topic for Weldon's appearance was to have been Terrorism and the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo.

O'Reilly's Post-Election "Hemorrhage" In response to this morning's post about Paula Zahn's ratings, a CNN insider says: "FNC should be less concerned with Zahn's performance and more concerned with the fact that O'Reilly continues to hemorrhage viewers month-over-month since October." Here are the monthly averages: October: 3,166,000 November: 3,080,000 December: 2,610,000 January: 2,478,000 February: 2,391,000 March: 2,320,000 April: 2,178,000 May-to-date: 2,096,000

Just a reminder if anyone wants to watch, as we've previously discussed his upcoming appearance. I haven't watched 60 Minutes in about 10 years, but I found that it's on 7 p.m. ET (where I live, at least).

Bill O'Reilly has been taking tons of heat this week for bashing the right wing talk show hosts, but i didn't get to hear it. Did he actually call out any names? I know Savage and Ingraham had a few choice words for him in response to what Bill had said. Although, I heard Savage attacks Rush and Sean every now and then. What has he said about them? Could he just be attacking Bill to be entertaining, or do you think he seriously has a problem with him? IMO -- Laura destroyed Bill, and Savage would too.

O'Reilly is IN the SPIN ZONE! E-Mail this story AND links to the media today. John Kerry directly contributed to the lies of the anti war movement AND caused deaths and injuries to US Military serving in Vietnam AND directly caused deaths from injuries at home AND countless suicides because of his false testimony. John Kerry is not fit to be elected dog catcher let alone President of the United States.ANYONE who votes for Kerry AFTER knowing this data is guilty of covering up John Kerry's war crimes! John Kerry, director of the Vietnam Veterans against the War, testified before...

Savage in raw form. It is great that he called O'reilly a fraud. He also said he is to concerned being fair and balanced. And also ripped his latest article.

On Tuesday, 27 July, Bill O'Reilly interviewed Michael Moore at the DNC Convention in Boston, MA. The focus of the interview was that for every question that Bill asked Michael, Michale would in turn be allowed to ask Bill his own question. Bill has for months been challenging Michael to come onto his O'Reilly Factor Show and debate Moore's 9/11 Film, among other hot topics. Out of a fluke meeting on the street in front of the DNC Convention Center in Boston, MA Bill and Michael met this week and both agreed to hold the interview based on the "I...

Blast you, O'Reilly...you talk the talk, but don't walk the walk when you finally score one of your "targets".......you had a great little elitist smilefest with Bob Kerrey, but failed to hammer him. Your critics are right - you're starstruck, and just as much a member of the 'Establishment' you pretend to deride. Hell, you apparently just couldn't remember how to pronounce the name "Gorelick", eh, so you just cruised through your lovefest? Time to cash in the chips, Bill.

Yeah? Well, My Agent Can Beat Up Your Agent • Keith Olbermann, the offbeat sportscaster-turned-offbeat news anchor, goes gonzo in his criticism of a competitor in the June issue of FHM magazine, which hit the stands yesterday. Keith Olbermann: A "tortured soul." (Courtesy MSNBC) "The key thing that's left out of Bill O'Reilly's career is that he got to where he is by being an abject failure at every step. He was kind of the buffoon of local news in New York and in Boston," the host of MSNBC's "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" tells the mag. "Bill O'Reilly is not...

WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Last week, radio talk show host G. Gordon Liddy told Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson of CNN's Crossfire that he would like "a shot at Bill O'Reilly," after he was asked what conservative would he most like to take on during the 'rapid fire' segment of the show. This came a day after Liddy appeared on Deborah Norville Tonight and said, "O'Reilly is an embarrassment to our side," answering questions regarding O'Reilly's style on radio and television. Liddy's remarks were made during interviews with the veteran host alongside Al Franken, a host of the new liberal...

Foxnews host Bill O'Reilly just previewed his show. "Problems continue for the U.S. Military in Fallujah. Why doesn't the U.S. Military just go ahead and level it?" I have to say that I agree with Bill. Level the place.
