Keith & Bill need their own show on CNN

I must admit that I giggled with glee each time Keith Olbermann pounced on Faux News and Bill O'Reilly. Faux and Bill (along with Sean, Glenn and the rest of the GOP puppets) have long deserved Keith-O's wrath for their scare mongering and anti-everything liberal stance.

But Keith slammed Faux and Bill-O on such a regular basis that it began to wear thin. And, according to the NY Times, I wasn't the only one. The paper is reporting that a truce has been called the bosses of Keith and Bill.

"Both moguls (GE's Jeffrey Immelt and News Corp's Rupert Murdoch) expressed regret over the venomous culture between the networks and the increasingly personal nature of the barbs. Days later, even though the feud had increased the audience of both programs, their lieutenants arranged a cease-fire, according to four people who work at the companies and have direct knowledge of the deal."

Sad in a way. But I have a feeling that the attacks will continue, just not as frequently. A little goes a long way.

Cheers!
