Earlier in the week 7 Afghan children were killed by an American air strike, NBC reported this story and Bill O'Reilly got visibly upset because he believes reporting on "bang bang" stories "helps the terrorists."
This video comes from Crooksandliars.com, Olbermann and Huffington take a look at Bill O'Reilly's "Serious Reporting."
The Afghanistan Tag is participating in this weeks Tag Series, click the link and vote.
Just a couple related videos I would like to share. No matter what Olbermann says there is nothing wrong with reporting the dangers of bears.
Also Olbermann mentioned the O'Reilly's historical misinformation about the Malmedy Massacre. Here is the video footage of that O'Reilly gaffe (a New Low at the time)... Malmedy isn't even included in the list of worst O'Reilly moments.

31. It is nice that Mr. Olbermann spends much of his time keeping a check on Mr O'Rielly, however as a viewer of Fox News I am able to decipher the crap from the news so I do not need Mr. Olbermann to keep an eye on it for me. It would be nice to see Mr. Olbermann have guest on his show that have an opinion that is contrary to his, but then he would lose that sense of always being right. Work on making your show more interesting Mr. Olbermann and leave others who you so much like to attack with to their own, eventually, if they keep going as they are, people will change their opinions of them and quit watching.

33. THERE IS LESS COVERAGE OF THE WAR IN IRAQ NOW. MAINLY I THINK BECAUSE IT IS NEARING ELECTION TIME, AND NEITHER PARTY WANTS THAT ISSUE BEFORE THEM. SURE, THE DEMS/LIBS WANT THE PUBLIC TO BELIEVE THEY ARE/WILL END THE WAR TOMMORROW AND BRING HOME THE TROOPS, BUT THAT ISN'T PLAUSIBLE. THEY KNOW THAT. THERFORE, NO COVERAGE...
SECONDLY, IF, GOD FORBID, THE TROOPS WERE SHOWN ACCOMPLISHING MISSIONS, MAKING A DIFFERENCE, AND ALLOWED TO VOICE THEIR OPINIONS, INSIGHTS, AND EXPERIENCES, THAT WOULDN'T MAKE FOR POPULAR NEWS, NOW WOULD IT?
THESE DAYS THE ONLY NEWS DEEMED WORTHY TO GENERATE PROFITS FOR THE MEDIA ARE TRAGEDIES, CONSPIRACY THEORIES, AND ANYTHING TO FURTHER THE ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENTS IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.

34. YES, THE WAR IN IRAQ WILL INFACT DETER ANY FUTURE TERRORIST PROBLEMS ON OUR COUNTRY.STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT....IF TERRORIST TAKE CONTROL OF IRAQ AND IT BECOMES A PLACE THEY CAN PLOT PLAN AND CARRY OUT MORE ATTACKS ON US...THEY WILL. WE CAN NOT GIVE THE TERRORIST IRAQ OR ANY COUNTRY TO BUILD UP STRONGER AGAINST US AND OTHER COUNTRIES. TERRORIST WOULD LOVE TO TAKE OVER IRAQ AS A PLACE TO HAVE TRAINING CAMPS AND BE ABLE TO DO MORE EVIL IN THE FUTURE.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO STABALIZE IRAQ AND LEAVE WHEN THE IRAQI'S CAN HANDLE THINGS ON THEIR OWN AND NOT BEFORE. THE TERRORIST HAVE NO COUNTRY, AND WOULD LOVE TAKING OVER IRAQ WHICH WOULD BE THEIR VICTORY AGAINST US AND PRODUCE MORE PROBLEMS FOR US IN THE FUTURE. AND THATS A FACT.

35. these left wing loonies don't get it. the bottom line is they are a tiny minority.. if you want to know how america feels, just compare the ratings of o'reilly vs oberman...oberman could increase his viewship 4x and still not come anywhere close to o'reilly. sorry, just the plain simple fact. AMERICA VOTES WITH THEIR REMOTES.. don't you libs just hate it.

37. Yes, we need to provide Congress with Lazyboy and girl recliner's, truth serum, a dose of integrity. It has been said Money and Power corrupt, this is evidenced not only in Congress but also in the Media, therefore; rate this: "Each an every Man and Woman in the Military is paying the price for those not in uniform!" The Honorable President Bush is Commander in Chief of the Armed Services, therefore he also is in uniform, Nancy Polisky, John Kerry, Edward Kennedy and Hillary Clinton are politians and in my opinion blights upon society. As such consider as an established fact the Democratic party lobbying the American Media, one of America's worst advertising campaigns; General Colin Powell in 1991 stated during the first Iraq War, ask CNN for any troop deployment or logistics. The Media and the current Congress serve not the American Public nor the American Interest, only their own. Jerry Cleverley

38. Bill definately has an agenda, but Olbermann is nothing but a clown. O'Reilly does do some fair news coverage, but always with an emotional tone (his emotions). Olbermann is not a journalist in any way, to any degree. He is the kind of guy you went to college with who takes nothing seriously, and is loayal to nothing, especially his country.

39. That we even bother to comment on O'Reilly's insignificance says more about us that it does about him. Listen to who you want, but remember, at the end of the day, O'reilly is still some pig headed Irish Long Island white trash.
Even Geraldo is more tolerable

40. It's the typical republican BS. They want the news all to be "happy and sweet", get with reality! It's like John McCain saying "It's perfectly safe to walk down these streets" as he's surrounded by unlimited bodyguards and wearing a bulletproof vest. The hypocrisy is amazing. The republican party has become the biggest morons in America.

41. where does this information come from saying O'Reilly has better ratings? O'Reilly,that's who, not really a reliable source as any rational person who watches his show or reads his books would know. The guy just makes stuff up to suit his agenda. His crowd conveniently forgets his horrible novel with all the soft core porn etc. To call himself a culture warrior is laughable. And to have that quote on the back of his book comparing himself to Patton, jeeze what is wrong with this guy?! No military experience, gets his "facts" wrong or makes them up, insults the WW II generation and our current military with his bombastic posturing, it is all too much.

42. Hey HARRY, that's because you morons sit on your asses all day and night listening to what FAUX tells you to think. The rest of us can watch MORE media outlets, read a paper, and think for ourselves. Well because you know, we have brains. We use them. You should try it.

43. I feel sorry for the People who think that because “Bill O is on TV” he must be right. HE speaks about people being on the “Far Left” and in Fact He is the one that is “far Left.” He feels that to beat or bully people up who he interviews on his show or to “Not let his guest talk or let them make there point that he “won” that debate. The only thing he shows me is what a Sociopath he is and that he’s nothing more then a PUNK.

45. Power of the Press too much or too little depends on story interests and objectives. War in Iraq story by Press objective to show it is not worth it by headling U.S. casualties.
