John Stossel Tells O'Reilly He Was 'Obnoxious' And 'Out Of Line' With Alan Colmes

Bill O'Reilly knew he went too far with his vicious attacks on Alan Colmes last night and he repeatedly referred to that meltdown discussion during the rest of the show. In the opening of a subsequent segment with John Stossel, O'Reilly said, "I'm still feeling bad about Colmes." But Stossel didn't mince his words. "You were out of line!" he shot back.

O'Reilly insisted, "I wasn't out of line. I was maybe out of line with my tone, but not with the facts of the matter. ...The truth is on my side, it's just that I probably didn't frame it with Colmes."

"You were obnoxious," Stossel said, unequivocally.

And out of line. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it, O'Reilly.

The Fox “News” frauds’ ratings are slipping, and the frauds are losing it. Temperatures are rising, and we are not talking weather.

Jealousy and infighting is common inside this horror skyscraper in midManhattan. Think these frauds get along with each other? We have a Long Island Expressway to sell you.

Of course, The Five defended Loofah Lad today and didn’t think he was out of line at all.

Bildo has already scheduled his usual sycophants (D-List Dennis Miller, Bernie Hackberg, etc) to kiss his ass on the air and falsely assure him that he was forthright and not obnoxious.
