Bilious Bill-O at center of old-fashioned media war

Some speculate that the 19th century newspapers wars between the Hearst and Pulitzer organizations were an artificial way to increase circulation.

The Washington Post claims today that Keith Olbermann's on-air criticisms of right-wing TV host Bill O'Reilly were "instigated by Olbermann as a way of drawing attention." Those barbs directed at O'Reilly got the attention of Murdoch moguls Fox TV CEO Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch himself, who blasted NBC CEO Jeff Zucker, and parent corporation GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt. O'Reilly has taken to castigating Immelt on the air for doing business in Iran.

Needless to say, the pissing match continues as the talking heads take aim at one another and the bosses in the background provide the ammunition.

I have mixed effin feelings about this one

George Carlin must be grinning, while Brent Bozell must be sick. The courts say the FCC don't have jurisdiction over dirty words.

But did the victory have to go to Rupert Murdoch and Fox. Sh**.

I say the best parental censor is the off button.
