O’Reilly Apparently Wants To Save MSNBC

Bill O’Reilly can’t even bring himself to utter Keith Olbermann‘s name. The FNC host is circulating a petition titled “Bring Back Donahue.”

The letter to NBC chairman Bob Wright says: “We, the undersigned, are becoming increasingly concerned about the well-being of MSNBC and, in particular, note the continuing ratings failure of the program currently airing weeknights on that network at 8:00 PM EST.”

O’Reilly asserts that he wants to “rescue MSNBC from the ratings basement.” So he’s asking Wright that “you immediately bring Phil Donahue‘s show back at 8:00 PM EST before any more damage is done.”
