Attention NBC/MSNBC Employees: Bill O'Reilly Would Like You To Quit Your Jobs


Bill O'Reilly almost had a "We'll Do It Live!" moment last night on The Factor. With guests Bernie Goldberg and Jane Hall, O'Reilly was discussing Scott McClellan's appearances on NBC, first on the Today show and later on Countdown. But O'Reilly took the opportunity to go after NBC management and Tim Russert, on whose show McClellan will be appearing this Sunday.

Toward the end of the segment O'Reilly had a near-vein popping tirade against NBC. "I'll tell you what, I wouldn't work...for any organization like NBC, which is in the tank, dishonest, has been dishonest and doesn't deserve any credibility. If you're working for them, you're part of it, you're part of it," yelled O'Reilly. To which Goldberg asked, "What do you want? You want everybody to quit?" "Yea," said O'Reilly.

The clip is at the media bistro link

1. He shouldn't be too upset. He had a good run and made some bucks.
But now it's over. Finito. So long jackass.

2. Not really big on trying to understand Tabloid Bill but...
What exactly does "in the tank" mean here? is he talking about ideology?
