Feud Fuels Bill O'Reilly's Blasts at GE

By Howard Kurtz

Bill O'Reilly, the Fox News star, is mounting an extraordinary televised assault on the chief executive of General Electric, calling him a "pinhead" and a "despicable human being" who bears responsibility for the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq.

On the surface, O'Reilly's charges revolve around GE's history of doing business with Iran. But the attacks grow out of an increasingly bitter feud between O'Reilly and the company's high-profile subsidiary, NBC, one that has triggered back-channel discussions involving News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes, NBC chief executive Jeff Zucker and General Electric's CEO, Jeffrey Immelt.

Ailes called Zucker on his cellphone last summer, clearly agitated over a slam against him by MSNBC host Keith Olbermann. According to sources familiar with the conversation, Ailes warned that if Olbermann didn't stop such attacks against Fox, he would unleash O'Reilly against NBC and would use the New York Post as well.

Both Fox and the Post are owned by Murdoch, who complained about Olbermann's conduct in separate calls to Zucker and Immelt.

That assumes that O'R has a leash. I don't think so.

He may have been held back to a point. Bill has taken shots at Keith and his lousy ratings - but Keith is always over the top

Envy and jealousy isone reason for his rants

Envy and jealousy isone reason for his rants I think the only one holding Bill back is Bill. Unlike Dobermann, O'R's reasonable and sane, and thus has been rewarded with good ratings.

They are out to censor anyione. They are letting it be known if Keith wants a fight, he will get it

Libs are the ones who wants to censor people they disagree with

The Clintons got David Schuster suspended, they demand CNN silence Lou Dobs, and libs want the "Fairness Doctrone"

DNCTV is pissed over Bill exposing their parent company supplying equipment to Iran that killed US troops

Unless the accused is a liberal - then "not guilty" and demand the DA be charged with misconduct
