NBC Reacts To Bill O'Reilly's Bias Criticism ("sad and pathetic")

PASADENA, Calif. - Bill O'Reilly's criticism of NBC News as a liberal-leaning network is "really kind of sad and pathetic," the network's news president said.

Steve Capus attributed the Fox News Channel host's criticism of the network to O'Reilly's ongoing feud with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.

O'Reilly has said NBC News, as an organization, has gone sharply to the left. He cited the network's decision last fall to begin referring to the sectarian violence in Iraq as a civil war, a phrase the Bush administration has resisted.

"I think it's really kind of sad and pathetic, some of the things that he's been lobbing at us these days," Capus told reporters Wednesday. "I don't quite understand it. I assume it's because Keith Olbermann has had such tremendous growth and there's real momentum behind Keith's broadcast."

John Bolton calls Iraq situation a Civil War

Just a few days ago John Bolton also said Iraq is in a civil war, is he a biased liberal too?

O'Reilly claims NBC has moved to the left because they say Iraq is in a civil war, yet many Republicans are saying the same thing, funny how O'Reilly never reports that. Not to mention every other news outlet in the world is calling it a civil war, except for FOX and CNN.

Bolton: Well look, the fundamental point is whether the civil war that exists now is going to continue or whether the Iraqis are going to decide to live together in one country.
