NBC News president says Fox host's campaign against network is ‘pathetic’

PASADENA, Calif. - 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.

Steve Capus attributed the Fox News Channel host’s criticism of the network to O’Reilly’s ongoing feud with MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann.

O’Reilly has said NBC News, as an organization, has gone sharply to the left. He cited the network’s decision last fall to begin referring to the sectarian violence in Iraq as a civil war, a phrase the Bush administration has resisted.

He made his displeasure clear in a recent interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, then later talked to a body language consultant who said Mitchell looked uncomfortable.

“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 Wednesday. “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.”

David Tabacoff, executive producer of Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor,” said Thursday in a statement, “It’s nice to see that Jeff Zucker let Steve off his leash for a few minutes, but what is it about being exposed as a liberal news organization that he finds sad and pathetic?”

Zucker is chief executive of NBC Universal’s television group.

O’Reilly has long been the ratings leader in cable news. But Olbermann, who has stepped up commentary criticizing President Bush in the last five months, has seen some ratings growth opposite O’Reilly.

As O’Reilly has been criticizing NBC, prime-time host Joe Scarborough of MSNBC has criticized him, making O’Reilly a frequent topic on the MSNBC program.

“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 anytime he wants, as far as I’m concerned. And I think the audience knows exactly what’s at play here.”


Poster Comment:

I suppose he wishes MSNBC could be as 'neutral' in their reporting as Faux, yes?

Suppose you asked if a person was unbiased and fair. And suppose the answer you got was: "He's about as fair and balanced as Bill O'Reilly on Fox News".

What would you think?

Fox and the GOP have just told too many lies. The public is on to them.

And what does the GOP do when their slime is exposed? Do they clean up their act? No. They scream that the other side is just as bad. Clinton did it too. There was a Democrat that once spoke to Abramoff while in the pisser. 20 years ago there was a gay Democrat that would have done what Foley did if he had been there another 30 years. Etc.

To me, that's what it looks like Fox and O'Reilly are doing here. The world is on to them and there are too many datapoints for them to deny their dishonesty. Hence, they try to claim that everyone else is just as bad as they are.

How typical.

Well reasoned, thanks.
