Bill O\u2019Reilly does not get the attention he used to.\u00a0 Between Glen Beck and Sean Hannity, Bill had become the number three idiot at Fox, the Republican Ministry of Propaganda.\u00a0 But we could always count on Keith Olbermann to put him in his place every week or two, by pointing out either the stupidity or the hatefulness in his extreme positions.\u00a0 But with Keith gone, it appeared hi might get away with it.\u00a0 Last night, Lawrence O\u2019Donnell picked up Keith\u2019s mantle and tore into O\u2019Reilly and Faux Noise<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Fox_News_Nazi\"Lawrence O’Donnell took a page out of his former colleague Keith Olbermann’s book when he delivered a scathing condemnation of Bill O’Reilly<\/strong> on his Monday show. Among other things, O’Donnell called his time slot rival a “joke” and a serial liar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

O’Donnell’s takedown was prompted by a comment O’Reilly made in a recent broadcast, where he said there were “strains of anti-Americanism” on MSNBC. O’Donnell said this was an example of O’Reilly’s ease with falsehoods.<\/p>\n

“He has by now figured out exactly what his audience wants to hear, and that’s what he delivers,” he said. “And when that requires lying, O’Reilly can do it without blinking because he’s discovered that there’s a lot of money to be made in those lies<\/strong>.”\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
