A Daily News spokesperson said Wednesday that the paper would have "no comment" about being named by O'Reilly.

For instance, Times columnist Eric Deggans -- in a Sept. 14, 2005, piece -- criticized O'Reilly for what Deggans felt were insensitive post-Hurricane Katrina comments about poor people in New Orleans. "The larger implications of
words also are obvious," he wrote. "These often poor, often black hurricane victims brought all this misery and death on themselves, because they weren't motivated enough to succeed in America." Deggans wrote that O'Reilly was deflecting criticism of the federal government's "horrific delays in hurricane relief."
O'Reilly responded on his Fox News program. "Deggans is a dishonest, racially motivated correspondent writing for perhaps the worst newspaper in the country," he said.
