Jon Stewart Rips Bill O'Reilly Over Hypocrisy On Privacy (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
Jon Stewart ripped Bill O'Reilly on Monday night's "Daily Show" over his hypocritical stance on privacy.
O'Reilly, whose producers proudly ambush anyone who disagrees with him, has taken up as one of his pet causes the privacy of celebrities stalked by paparazzi.
"I think my favorite part about 'The Factor' is that they have no trouble reconciling their defense of celebrities' right to privacy with their intimidation of everyone else," Stewart said, showing unedited footage of O'Reilly segueing from an ambush of the Columbia Journalism Review editor on a city bus to outrage over "these vicious paparazzi."
"Coming up on 'The ...
Jon Stewart slams BillO for "right to privacy" hypocrisy
Crooks and Liars —
Last night Jon Stewart went to to town on Bill O'Reilly for claiming that the paparazzi put the lives of celebrities in danger, while at the same time finding nothing wrong with sending out his crack ambush teams to harass people with whom he disagrees and holds petty grudges. The astounding part is that BillO apparently sees no contradiction here.
The most recent incident of BillO's ambush crews at work is here.

Jon Stewart Calls Bill O’Reilly’s Right to Privacy Stance Hypocritical
PoliGazette —
On his Comedy Central show Monday night, comedian Jon Stewart played a montage contrasting journalist and pundit Bill O’Reilly’s calls for the right to privacy for celebrities from paparazzi as opposed to his favored method of journalism: invading people’s right to privacy by harassing them in public.
First off, let me assure readers that I don’t suffer from O’Reilly Derangement Syndrome like some who might criticize him. I enjoy watching his show and agree with O’Reilly on a number of points. And yes, he’s right to try and ask the tough ...

O’Reilly Lies: I Always Let People Explain Themselves Or Appear On My Show Before Harassing Them
Think Progress —
The harassment I experienced at the hands of Bill O’Reilly’s henchmen this past weekend was unfortunately not the first such incident by the network. Other victims include the New Yorker’s Hendrik Hertzberg, Gov. Jim Douglas (R-VT), the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Cynthia Tucker, and the Columbia Journalism Review’s Mike Hoyt.
On Aug. 24, 2007, O’Reilly defended his harassment machine:
As you may know, “The Factor” occasionally sends out producers to confront people who will not answer serious questions about controversial things they ...
Cable Blowhards in the News
The Agitator —
Let’s start on the left, where Keith Olbermann oddly named Twitter his “Worst Person in the World” for setting up a false account in his name (then somehow managed to blame Fox News for it all). Turns out, the account had been operated for months by . . . Olbermann’s employer, MSNBC.
Then there’s Bill O’Reilly, who sent one of his producers to creepily stake out, stalk, and harass ThinkProgress writer Amanda Terkel . . . at a conference for victims of rape. O’Reilly was apparently speaking at the conference, and ThinkProgress had ...
Bill O’Reilly Defends “Ambush Journalism” While Right Wing Gal Pal, Amanda Carpenter, Agrees
News Hounds —
In yet another sterling example of Bill O’Reilly’s cognitive dissonance and denial of reality, he defended his harassment machine as “a legitimate brand of journalism.” Not surprisingly Amanda Carpenter agreed. Bill does seem to have a number of conservative, female BFF’s (Margaret Hoover and Monica Crowley) and Amanda, whose solid conservative C.V. includes Townhall, Human Events, a hit piece on Hillary Clinton, and now the Washington (“Moonie”) Times, provides a nice echo chamber. On a recent “Factor,” (April1st) Bill engaged in classic O’Reilly narcissism and delusions of grandeur. Not only is Bill O’Reilly America’s Big Daddy; but he is the ...
Bill O’Reilly/George Clooney Stalkers/Topless Teenager Pics
News Hounds —
Bill O’Reilly is not a fan of George Clooney. He questioned Clooney’s handling of charity cash from Clooney’s post 9-11 telethon and challenged Clooney to a debate. Clooney, who unlike O’Reilly actually has talent, refused the challenge. But recently, Clooney has disclosed that he is suing two Italian magazines and a photographer after said paparrazo allegedly scaled the walls of Clooney’s Italian (Lake Como) villa and took photos of a young girl, the daughter of guests at the villa, who was disrobing in her bedroom. This was the first topic in this week’s “Is it Legal” segment on “The Factor.” While Bill’s discussion with attorneys Megyn Kelly ...
