Barry Nolan calls Bill O’Reilly a ‘mental case’ and is bringing Olbermann to the rescue

I think I found a new hero….Mr. Nolan shows some common sense I’d say. You go Barry! Kinda reminds me of the good old Al Franken days. (h/t DavidS)

I’m sure BillO will send his camera goons to track him down and harrass him.

CN8’s Barry Nolan says Fox News bigfoot Bill O’Reilly is “a mental case,” and Nolan’s crazy mad that the local Emmy Awards will honor Mr. No Spin Zone at their 31st annual back-slapfest next month.

“I am appalled, just appalled,” Nolan told the Track. “He inflates and constantly mangles the truth . . . and his frequent target is the ‘left-leaning’ media - the ones who do report the news fairly. And those are the same people who will be sitting in the room honoring him.”

“This is who you should aspire to be like? Is this what we’re telling them?” he fumed.

Despite his reservations about his fellow Boston TV veteran, Nolan claims he will go to the May 10 shindig at the Marriott Copley Place to support his CN8 comrades…read on

UPDATE: Think Progess says: Nolan plans to attend the May 10 ceremony, and he’s invited Keith Olbermann as his date.

Now I would pay to see Olbermann show up and confront O’Reilly. Can anyone find me a ticket? Pretty please?

Why shouldn't BillO deserve an Emmy? He is entertaining to a lot of people. What he is not doing, however, is journalism. Nor is he performing any useful function for society, except reinforcing people's narrow-minded viewpoints. He is pretty much just... a turd, for lack of a better word.

That's why he doesn't deserve any emmy.
