Very entertaining…
It’s difficult to have much respect for news organizations that allow (encourage?) their employees to get into public spats. But, then, as Jack Shafer points out, news feuds “detonate with the frequency of Baghdad car bombs.”
The current spat between MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann and Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly is entertaining in a twisted sort of way. In fact, it makes for great television–drama, emotion, humor, fancy graphics. Oh, and another necessary element: not too much substance so it’s easy to digest.
