The headline had more information than TFA.

heh ya that article is lame

if you haven't read what happened just goto april's site (pops) its actually kinda funny, she blogged about him not liking the croissants they had for him

thanks for the link, appreciate it.

anyway, after reading about whats happened, here are my thoughts
1. who the fark cares if he liked the croissants or not. it was a stupid thing to blog about at best
2. the picking up of the story was to be expected, so not exactly something without precedent.
3. bill o should not have given this story any run by doing anything. just let it die out and any time she requests to be on your show, turn her down.
4. logical thought is apparently beyond oreally at this point, so the overblown reaction by banning her and giving her any sort of credibility sort of backfired.

/didnt know anything about the chic besides her name and being linked on fark
//dont like billo but this is non story, that he turned into something more by giving it any attention whatsoever. getting someone fired or removed from future on air appearances over a croissant blog seems a "doth protest too much" type of thing...

At last! I've been waiting for this but I thought it would never happen in my lifetime - something less important than Anna Nicole Smith!

Good for you, April!

Who?

Mr. Orally! He-he.

Uh... she was never employed by KABC... she just guest hosted 2 nights per month. Unpaid.

Sorry, but, who gives a shiat?

O'Reilly is nothing but a b*ndled p*le of st*cks anyways.

He claims to be a culture warrior against those corrupt and hedonist secular progressives. However, in reality he's a spoiled brat. He isn't a man of the people as he claims.

but cmon thats sort of common knowledge, except for the handful of 30% who believe that the bush admin was willing to send staff to testify under oath.
i mean if all you have to blog about is that oreilly didnt like the croissants, maybe you arent the influential blog you think you are...

/no offense april, just an observation. i am sure there was something much more important going on at the time could have served being reported...
//but then again what do i know, i would have my mic cut in under 30 seconds on his show, and not a single word profane

the_gospel_of_thomas: That's what I was wondering. But since it's an anti-O'Reilly submission, you're supposed to be a friend of this person, whoever they are.

Bill O'Reilly has hissy fit, bans Fark friend April Winchell from KABC Los Angeles

her or her fark fanboy/girl sure are busy.



Look to the right where it says "Site Friends".
