  • You might be aware that we don’t agree with Bill O’Reilly on much here at ShortFormBlog, but his stance on Keyboard Cat is one that we can get behind without hesitation.

Culture, Politics: Bill O’Reilly didn’t see “Milk” because of Sean Penn. His loss.

  • He’s a great actor, and if you hire him, you’ll get a good performance. I’m just not going to give a guy who gives aid and comfort to people like Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez and Saddam Hussein, when he was alive, my 10 bucks. That’s my right as an American.
  • Bill O’Reilly • Who’s “a big movie guy” but will not spend money to see Sean Penn in a movie. We hope he changes his mind, because we think an upcoming flick of his might be right up his alley. • source

Culture, Politics: CNN isn’t doing so hot in primetime right now; MSNBC is

  • +30% increase in MSNBC’s prime-time ratings helped largely by kingpin Keith Olbermann; they’re now in second place, ahead of CNN (Fox News is still way atop the heap)
  • +1% increase in CNN’s prime-time ratings in the same period; annoying ugly woman Nancy Grace on sister network Headline News routinely trumps CNN right now source

Culture: Proof Bill O’Reilly is a social deviant: His audio book

  • “Off With Those Pants!” Bill O’Reilly, when he’s not criticizing the left and getting mocked by them, apparently is an author. To his peril, he released a book of fiction, “Those Who Trespass,” in 1998, which was later put out as an audiobook in 2001. And, oh boy, some of the language is nice and colorful. The Village Voice has done us all a, uh, favor, and gathered some key audio clips. *shudder* source

Culture: When it comes to history, Jessica Alba, 1, Bill O’Reilly, 0.

  • I appreciate the fact that he is a news anchor and that gossip sites are inundated with intelligent reporting, but seriously people … it’s so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland.
  • Jessica Alba • on conservative news pundit Bill O’Reilly’s (and news site TMZ.com’s) criticism of Alba for “incorrectly” referring to Sweden as a neutral country. Too bad for them, but she’s freakin’ right. Score one for easily-underestimated Hollywood starlets. • source
