Balta1701 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well, I'll agree with him that the firing of Mr. Donahue was probably somewhat politically motivated and a bit unfair...Methinks O'Reilly is probably just unhappy about being labeled the "Worst person in the world" so often. I wonder if this will earn Mr. O'Reilly another of those awards... February 22, 2006 Chairman Robert Wright National Broadcasting Company 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, New York 10112 Dear Chairman Wright: We, the undersigned, are becoming increasingly concerned about the well-being of MSNBC and, in particular, note the continuing ratings failure of the program currently airing weeknights on that network at 8:00 PM EST. It is now apparent to everyone that a grave injustice has been done to the previous host for that time slot, Phil Donahue, whose ratings, at the time of his show's cancellation three years ago, were demonstrably stronger than those of the current host. Therefore, in an effort to rescue MSNBC from the ratings basement and to restore the honor and dignity of Mr. Donahue, who was ignobly removed as host three years ago, we ask that you immediately bring Phil Donahue's show back at 8:00 PM EST before any more damage is done.

mr_genius Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 the Donahue show was hilarious, it needs to be on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin57 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 O'Reilly doesn't like Obermann because he constantly rubs O'Reilly's nose in the mess from that sexual harassment lawsuit he faced a year or two ago. For O'Reilly this is strictly personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbeFroman Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 If I were Fox News, I would reprimand O'Reilly for commenting on another station... Seriously, If MSNBC's ratings rise, it could have a negative impact on Fox News. This would sorta piss me off if I were an exec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Actually Olbermann's ratings are doing very well for MSNBC. About a year ago, he was averaging about 250,000 viewers nightly. That's closing in on 400K now. Still about a fifth of O'Reilly's ratings, but still a lot of growth. (And he's about the best thing that MSNBC has going in the money demo.)

kevin57 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I respect O'Reilly for bringing a lot of issues to the fore. He is dogged and won't allow politicians or judges to hide. That said, he can also be a bully, and I think that this stunt with KO shows that he's too impressed with his own sense of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
