Barry Nolan pleads: Give Bill the boot!
Boston Herald ^ | April 11, 2008 | Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa

CN8’s Barry Nolan says Fox News bigfoot Bill O’Reilly is “a mental case,” and Nolan’s crazy mad that the local Emmy Awards will honor Mr. No Spin Zone at their 31st annual back-slapfest next month.

“I am appalled, just appalled,” Nolan told the Track. “He inflates and constantly mangles the truth . . . and his frequent target is the ‘left-leaning’ media - the ones who do report the news fairly. And those are the same people who will be sitting in the room honoring him.”

Nolan, citing an Indiana University study that claims O’Reilly - a former Channel 7 anchor - calls a person or group a derogatory name once every 6.8 seconds on average, has been busy ringing up local TV types to get their support for his “Rescind O’Reilly” effort. He claims former WBZ anchor Liz Walker is on board.

Anotherwords, why is Bill O’Reilly famous, rich and influential with an international audience, and I’m still stuck here covering local high school sports and the hog futures report and going home to an empty studio apartment?

Liberals hate Oreilly and that’s reason enough for me to like him.

Bill does go after liberals enough to warrant my support. But it should be noted that the author is correct when he sometimes mangles the truth.

It was Bill O'Reilly that attacked FR posters for being racist and stating that a poster said "I hate blacks" when there was no record of it.

BOR's ego would not allow him to admit fault but I'm sure that drives the left crazy.

Don’t forget his attack on the credibility of the Swiftees. Ever since then, I have refused to watch the pompous POS or listen to his pathetic radio show.

1-- Bill O'Reilly was too stupid to figure that one out. Who was telling the truth 
       -- or--
2--- He condemned the Swift boat vets as a gesture to the left. To show he wasn't so right wing. THat he's really middle of the road for rtaings reasons

My guess is number 2

Scummy liar John F Kerry never released his service records to win that one million dollar bet from T Boone Pickens

The article states that Nolan will be taking Keith Olberman to the awards program as his date. This should elevate journalism to heights unknown. /s
