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.

61. I personally believe that not only is Keith Olbermann right on the money about those whom he see's fit to go after (since most others wont)But, he is an amazing Journalist! One of the things that I do admire about him, is that he indeed has guest that do not always agree with him and he unlike Billo, gives them the time and respect when he interviews them. The problem as I see it Patrick, is that we need more people like Olbermann!! We have been too quiet for far too long!!
Billo deserves everything that Keith can throw at him and much, much more.

62. Typical of ANY neo-con or plain conservative as far as I'm concerned. They own the world's largest pair of " Rose Colored Glasses "

63. The corporate news media has become irrelevant. After giving up their important role in a democracy by becoming a functioning part of the government, I am utterly amazed that anyone with an ounce of brains watches them anymore. If anyone is curious as to how the Nazi Party was able to control the German people, they were able to do it through the media.

64. Lies, kind of hypocritical don't you think. What about the liberals trying to stop talk radio, "Freedom Of Speech", through legislature. Yes, I am referring to the comments in Congress. Liberals are dangerous, exclusive republicanism is dangerous. There has to be a middle ground achieved. Polarized politics is why Congress has a 19% approval rating. That should tell both parties something, but at least the replulicans try to advocate success in Iraq.

65. If Bill is so great why is he attacking NBC everynight is it because he feels Keith breathing down his neck and calling him out on all his bullcrap everynight. It's good to watch him sweat.

66. I agree with Bill, there is absolutely nothing positive in repeatedly showing the bad things that are happening in Iraq and that it only helps fuel our enemies' resolve and weakens ours...but of course that's what you libs want in the runup to the elections, isn't it.... CBS, ABC, etc etc etc. just want to report the bad things going on to hammer home the message that this is a lost war and that it's the republicans' fault(when in reality, us HONEST people know that the democrats wanted this war just as badly as President Bush did). That way those liberal tv stations can influence the american people's opinions and thereby allow a democrat to win the presidency which is WHAT THEY WANT. They and the democrats in Congress don't give a crap if it hurts America in this war or if it gives the enemies hope, it's been proven time and time again in their (the media's) broadcasts..the bottom line to them is change enough peoples' minds so the dems can take back the white house. Now I'm not stupid enough to say that the war is going great but I also am not dumb enough to say that this war is lost (there IS a democratic government running Iraq now despite all the insurgents have done)and broadcast it to all of America and let that be SHOWN ON ARAB TV STATIONS which is what your great dumbass leader Harry Reid has done. All you stupid-ass liberals who keep crying and bitching about what an unjust war this is and how we are losing it or HAVE lost it are NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF LOSERS, you actually are almost ROOTING for us to lose and you look like a bunch of spineless jellyfish to Al Quaeda and all the other radical Islamist enemies of ours! Oh and everyone who's complaining about this war? Let's have a show of hands to see just how many of you were FOR this war when it started before we started having casualties, YOU LOSERS!

67. Bill O. says he is a self made man. Too bad he didn't ask for some help from anyone that had a little common sense.

68. Hey Patty, READ MY LIPS>>>Bush couldn't have had his way if not for your VERY OWN DUMBOCRATS siding with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So stop being a hypocrite and start being TRUTHFUL in what you say!

69. HEY PATTY PART II >>>>> Yes, Bill does...he REPEATEDLY takes the side of VICTIMS of crimes, unlike your liberal weak judges who keep giving pedophiles etc. etc. minimum jailtime!

70. Something tells me that when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, Isvestia and Pravda never reported when Soviet troops accidentally killed civilians. The Soviets lost anyway.

72. I get my news on the war in Iraq from those who are actually there in it and fighting in the most dangerous areas. They are a more reliable sorce than any of the networks. I get detailed information that the networks doesn't tell us on tv.

73. I am sick of people who say we invaded a country that didn't attack us. In world war 2 did germany attack us? we saw the danger and acted!!

75. Most of the people who are critical of O' Reilly,don't even watch the show. They just expect to force their left wing stupidity down everyone's throat. I sometimes don't totally agree with him and I am definately not a Bush supporter. I do believe the left wing so called mainstream media is upset because someone is calling them on their biased non-reporting of the news. I do think all news would be better served if some of the good happening over there was reported. If all the left wing loons would get off their duffs and start reporting news instead of reporting their opinions they might get some viewers back.
