Stiiiiill Going (Michelle Malkin Leaves Bill O'Reilly, Geraldo in Her Dust)
MichelleMalkin.com ^ | Monday, October 15, 2007 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 10/15/2007 10:18:35 PM PDT by kristinn

I’ve been writing newspaper columns for 15 years, writing books since 2002, and blogging since 2004. I’ve lost track of how many times the nutroots have gleefully declared my demise.

Oh, how they wish, wish, wish it were so!

The latest moonbat tempest in a teapot concerns an e-mail response I sent to readers over the weekend who have been asking about my absence from the O’Reilly Factor. I had received several hundred messages and it was wrong to keep ignoring long-time fans wondering what happened. I took the time to personally respond to each inquiry. It is an awkward situation, but I answered straightforwardly:

Thanks so much for your kind words. Much appreciated. I made the decision to quit appearing on the O’Reilly show in response to the poor handling of the Geraldo Rivera matter (in case you hadn’t heard, he threatened to spit on me because of my views about illegal immigration and his staged “apology” on The Factor was a complete farce). I won’t go into details, but please know that your support means a lot to me. You can catch me on other Fox News shows and read my daily blog posts and weekly columns at MichelleMalkin.com.

I did not plan on blogging it and making a big to-do. It is what it is. But some blabbermouth apparently forwarded the e-mail to a cable TV gossip blog. The left-o-sphere picked it up from there (interesting how all of these same blogs ignored the spitting threat in the first place), now spreading wild rumors that I’ve been fired, concocting imaginary scenarios of tearful resignations, tinfoil-rattling in hopes that there’s some other conspiratorial reason behind my decision, falsely asserting that it was somehow related to my coverage of the S-CHIP debate, etc., etc., etc.

The funniest comment by far comes from far Left zealots who couldn’t possibly believe that I would walk away from more airtime since I am, of course, such a media whore.

Two words: Stop projecting.

Continue to knock yourselves out, loons! Always glad to provide therapeutic benefits. Indeed, for many, it’s just another golden opportunity to wish out loud for my death or rape. See, for example: Digg.

Maybe you will get your wish and I will get hit by a truck someday. Until then, I’ll keep writing. You keep hatin’.

You can watch any O'Really show and he'll be dead wrong on some issue.

Jeroldo Rivera is:

Illegal immigration apologist
Supporter of Socialism
Name-dropper
Huckster (see Al Capone’s vault)
Narcissist

He’s at his worst when he tries to do a serious news story. How he does it with a straight face is beyond my comprehension.

Fox “news” with BOR, WhoreAldo, Colmes and the too frequent appearances from Al Sharpton and others of the loony left — has made Fox “news” CNN light...

Brit Hume is Fox’s saving virtue.......


Don't forget the obsession with celebrity news and car chases, plus the fact that they're actually bringing that charlatan Jonathan Edwards (the other one) back on the air.

Other than Cavuto and Hume, I find little reason to watch Fox anymore. Even with the slant to the left, CNN simply produces a superior hard news product. Sure, you have to use your BS filter, but you should be using that with all television.

Still, call me naive, but I'm actually optimistic that the Fox business channel will be an improvement. Maybe they'll sneak the real news back onto that channel.

Monica Crowley is not as good as Michelle. Her diction is terrible. I wish they would kick her off of WABC radio and bring Steve Malzberg back. She has also done something really weird with her hair.

I remember when Kirsten either first started, or I just happened to notice.

She was the left's blond answer to Coulter and Ingraham.

Kirsten has a wifi fax card wired into her brain that only accepts faxes from the DNC machine.

At least, that's how she appeared a few years ago.

I stopped watching Bill a long time ago; therefore, I didn’t know about all this.

I have never liked Geraldo and I like him even less now. Keep on keeping on Michelle. You have a huge following and I believe that if you wanted to, you could have your own show.

Bill continues to be an idiot. Once an idiot, always an idiot, I guess.

Good for Michele, she gets an A+ for having principles, unlike qhorealdo. As far as O'Reilly, when he stops putting Sharpton on his show as a guest I'll consider watching the show again. Talk about lack of principles Bill, Sharpton is a criminal thug loser, ever hear of Twawana Brawley Bill???

O’Reilly has been straddling the fence so long for ratings he has neutered himself.

The only reason he puts sharpton on is so sharpton won't label him a racist and he'll lose ratings. Bill is paying Al's extortion money and selling out his principles.

Monica Crowley is not as good as Michelle.

Isn't Monica Crowley married to Alan Colmes? If so, she is a glutton for punishment.
