amanda terkel vs. bill o'reilly

The Daily Beast has more on "far-left blogger" Amanda Terkel, in her own words, explaining Fox News and Bill O'Reilly's ridiculous efforts to harass and discredit her villainous liberal views: Bill O'Reilly Is Stalking Me.

O'Reilly's producer actually tracked down and confronted Amanda while she was on vacation, basically making up lies on camera and accusing her of causing "pain and suffering" to the Alexa Foundation and rape victims. Because that apparently makes good television. On Fox News, that is.

They actually devoted an entire segment to Terkel's evil. All this, because Amanda called O'Reilly on his own previous bullshit comments about a rape victim. This has nothing to do with real, viable journalism -- this is about O'Reilly's long track record of harassment and intimidation.

This has to stop: TAKE ACTION: Tell O'Reilly's Advertisers To Stop Supporting The O'Reilly Harassment Machine. ThinkProgress is promoting a letter-writing campaign to O'Reilly's advertisers, telling them not support his tactics. I hear that UPS has already pulled out: UPS Pulls Advertising Off The O'Reilly Factor.
