The Top 1000 Liberals in America
Bill O'Reilly's criticism of NBC News as a liberal-leaning network is "really kind of sad and pathetic," the network's news president said on Wednesday.
Steve Capus attributed the Fox News Channel host's criticism of the network to O'Reilly's ongoing feud with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.
"I think it's really kind of sad and pathetic, some of the things that he's been lobbing at us these days," Capus told reporters here. "I don't quite understand it. I assume it's because Keith Olbermann has had such tremendous growth and there's real momentum behind Keith's broadcast."
"As far as I'm concerned, he's not commenting on NBC News," Capus said. "He's just trying to do this personal feud. The more he does it, the more success we have, so he can do it any time he wants, as far as I'm concerned. And I think the audience knows exactly what's at play here."

NBC News Chief Calls Bill O'Reilly 'Pathetic'

Keith Olbermann will continue to be a thorn in Bill O'Reilly's side for at least four more years.
Besides feuding with Fox News Channel's O'Reilly, Olbermann has become
a liberal hero. He has seen his ratings increase since launching a series
of anti-President Bush commentaries late last summer.
Olbermann will also contribute occasional essays to "NBC Nightly News" and there will be two prime-time "Countdown" specials a year on NBC, a division of NBC Universal, said NBC News President Steve Capus.
