Favorit – sounds like O’Reilly has a stand-up comedian audience all ready for him – please – encourage him to leave broadcast, would you?

I thought it was hilarious, it made my day. You know what? My mother called me that day laughing about it as well. You people need to lighten up and enjoy the comedic nature of political journalism in this world.

And I know Dan Schorr. He may be in his 90s, but no one is going to rip him to shreds, especially O’Reilly.

For the record, I have spoken out against other instances of people calling other women the same names. I objected even when so-called journalists were treating Sarah Palin with sexist lingo.

O’Reilly’s comments about SNL and Palin are red herrings — satire is different than purported journalists mocking women in sexist terms.

Once again you got people commenting, PunditMom. Well done. Keep doing what you’re doing. If you build it, they will come.

Charming Driver: No talking points needed here. I get my information from various sources, including CNN, MSNBC, Fox and the broadcast network news shows. I love the broad spectrum and different views – except for the extreme clowns (Rush, Hannity, Olbermann, Maddow). Lynn Samuels has a lot of good stuff, as well as O’Reilly. I know that pains you, but overall there is insight on his show. We’re all in this together, and if we keep things away from the extremes we’ll all be much better off.

Yeah! Let's get right on that! Because Media Matters and (Democratic) Women's Media Center tells us too.
This is nonsense, Pundit Mom, and here's why.
Scott Horton wrote a post comparing Hillary and Condi Rice to witches. He did that last month. Where was Media Matters, where was (Democratic) Women's Media Center?
No where.
We only call out the right wing?
Not in my home.
In my home, you attack women, you get called out.
The FAILURE of high profile feminists -- including the worthless women of WMC -- was refusing to call out the 'lefties' using sexism against Hillary.
Yes, it was easy to call out the MSNBC boys.
I'll take (Democratic) Women's Media Center, Media Matters and Pundit Mom seriously when they find time to call out all sexists and not just create echo chambers of "Oh, that evil right wing!"
That evil right wing (and I do think they're evil) were far from alone in the damaging.
And here's a thought: If any of you had called out Scott Horton for calling two high profile women "witches" (and hiding it in some 'unnamed' friend), maybe the idiots at Fox so-called News would have known, "Uh, oh, better not go there." But you waive it through and ignore it when it's from our so-called friends and then want to act outraged when the right wing does it.
Harper's Magazine is a CESSPOOL of sexism. Check the masthead for women, check the website for women. The publisher can and does still slam Hillary month after month. And he never gets called out for his sexism and Scott Horton and the other boys at our supposedly left friend magazine trash us on a daily basis but let's be offended that Bill O'Reilly went after Helen.
As for Daniel Schorr, Bill would rip him to shreds. Know your history, Pundit Mom.
The right wing hates DS for publishing the Pike Report.
And what did the brave left friend DS do for women after that?
Oh, yeah, he told his CBS bosses it was Lesely Stahl.
Tried to get her fired and only after they were looking into it did he finally admit it was him at which point he was fired from CBS.
People need to know their history.
