O'Reilly: Air America Getting Too Much Publicity

For an operation with just six stations, the Democratic Party's liberal radio network has been getting a ton of coverage from its friends in the liberal media, says Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly.

"Never in the history of the American press has one tiny enterprise gotten so much free publicity," O'Reilly told his TV audience on Friday. "The reason, of course, is that the elites want liberal bomb throwers to embarrass and defame people with whom they disagree. It's like hiring hit men and women."

O'Reilly, of course, is one of those targets, along with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. But while the other two hosts have pretty much ignored the debut of "Air America," the Fox News host scorched the press for paying so much attention to the otherwise unspectacular development.

Noting that his own "Radio Factor" broadcast is heard nationwide on 405 stations, O'Reilly said, "Guess how many articles the New York Times has done on us? Zero."

"Guess how many stories the Times has done on the libs?" he added. "Ten - four more than their entire station base."
