Mar 28, 2006
Watch video clips of reporters who refuse to accept White House spin that the media is to blame in Iraq: CBS' Lara Logan, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, and NBC's Richard Engel.

Olbermann: Who does Bush ‘think he’s F’n kidding?’

Mar 21, 2006
The MSNBC anchor uses a clip from Bush's own State of the Union address to contradict the president's claim on Monday that he never made a direct connection between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein. Olbermann then says: "Who does the president think he's F'n kidding?" Hats off to Olbermann for showing the backbone that is so often absent in media coverage of the president's claims.

O’Reilly Threatens Caller re Olbermann

Mar 3, 2006
Bill O'Reilly and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann have been feuding for a while now (background story here, a video example, and another clip), and on Thursday, when a caller to O'Reilly's show merely mentioned Olbermann's name, Bill cut the line and said, "We have your phone number and we're going to turn it over to Fox security, and you're going to get a visit"--as though the caller was threatening O'Reilly--when in fact O'Reilly was threatening the caller! UPDATE: FOX security calls back.
