Will O'Reilly Quit?

I haven’t blogged about old Bill O. in awhile. Recently he has been on the attack against NBC. He keeps his attacks of their “liberal bias” coming almost nightly. Well if NBC is so bad, then why is Bill’s employer going into a business venture with them? News Corp. and NBC have announced a deal […]

I haven’t blogged about old Bill O. in awhile. Recently he has been on the attack against NBC. He keeps his attacks of their “liberal bias” coming almost nightly. Well if NBC is so bad, then why is Bill’s employer going into a business venture with them?

News Corp. and NBC have announced a deal to create a new video distribution site, dubbed the “YouTube killer” by many. The companies have also formed partnerships with a number of big players, including Yahoo!, Microsoft, and Time Warner/AOL to supply content and provide distribution channels. The service, which currently does not have a name, will launch this summer with a number of TV shows and movie content.

The full list of TV shows that will be available at launch, according to News Corp., will include Heroes, 24, House, My Name Is Earl, Saturday Night Live, Friday Night Lights, The Riches, 30 Rock, The Simpsons, The Tonight Show, Prison Break, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader, and Top Chef—”plus hits from the studios’ vast television libraries.” The service will also feature movies, including Borat, Little Miss Sunshine, Devil Wears Prada, The Bourne Identity, and Bourne Supremacy at launch.

Gee Bill – will this make you part of the “liberal media” now? Perhaps the manly thing to do is go on the air tonight and denounce this deal. If your employers continue with it then quit on the air. Sounds like it is time for you to put up or shut up.
