Cory,

Here’s the article you listed. Maybe I’m not reading it correctly. Could you please point out the part where Bill O’Reilly claims, “he gets more viewers than all of the Network News programs combined”?

The same article where Keith Olbermann admits that he’s “UN-American” when comparing Fox News to Al-Qaeda…

It just means that their readers - like football fans - aren’t interested in some shallow political hack. They would’ve bought The Nation if they wanted that.

So does this mean that most readers of Playboy are conservative?

Cory,

O’Reilly has said many times that he gets more viewers than all of the other CABLE news programs broadcast at the same time as his combined. This means CNN, Headline News, and MSNBC, not ABC, NBC, and CBS.

If you have a reference where he straightforwardly claims that he beats NBC,CBS and ABC combined in the ratings, please give that citation.

I wonder if Playboy ever had Bill O correct what he wrote in his article a few years ago about how he gets more viewers that all of the Network News programs combined?

I’ve noticed over last few years that Playboy is getting a vocal right-wing presence, which surprises me, since they have always been a left-wing magazine, and most right wing administrations do what they can to suppress distribution of the magazine, including re-writing reports on “pornography” to include Playboy so they can restrict the stores and distributors that carry it under both Nixon and Reagan.

The magazine received, apparently, widespread, negative criticism of what Olbermann said in the article. So widespread that the editor felt the need to contact a FAN SITE to solicit something, anything positive for “balance” and then allowed the fan site owner to use a fake name to print it?

Can you imagine what would happen if someone got caught doing the same for O’Reilly or anyone at Fox?
