Olbermann Dons O'Reilly Mask At TV Meeting

Olbermann Dons O'Reilly Mask At TV Meeting

Funny stuff...O'Reilly can dish it out, but it's quite obvious he can't take it.

During his "Countdown" show on MSNBC, Olbermann regularly tweaks O'Reilly, whose "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox is No. 1 in the cable TV news ratings. Olbermann generally runs third in the same time slot.

O'Reilly has referred to Olbermann -- although not by name -- as a "notorious smear merchant" and pointed out his low ratings.

Olbermann said his phone number has been distributed at Fox and his e-mail hacked into.

"They're annoying things, and that's about it. That's the price you pay," he said. "Nothing that you do in putting yourself in the public eye is for free. I can live with it."

Olbermann opened his session by whipping out a mask of O'Reilly --— a poke at Fox asking journalists to accept handout photos of TCA news conferences from photographers the network had hired.
