During the January 10 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News contributor Jane Hall discussed recent comments about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) by MSNBC host Chris Matthews, including, Hall stated, what Matthews said about "how she got elected not on her own merits, but because of his [Bill Clinton] fooling around, as he put it. ... He said she wanted to bury his [Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL)] campaign and what would she do with the body? That she wanted to strangle Obama in the crib." Hall concluded, "[E]very woman I know saw the media coverage declaring her dead and said, 'You know, I've been through that. I've experienced that kind of sexism.' " When O'Reilly then asked, "So there was a backlash against that?" Hall responded, "Oh, absolutely."
On the previous day's edition of The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly had aired a video clip of Matthews' comment on Clinton's victory in the January 8 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary, in which Matthews said: "Let's not forget -- and I'll be brutal -- the reason she's a U.S. senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around. That's how she got to be senator from New York. We keep forgetting it. She didn't win there on her merit." O'Reilly called Matthews' comments "rough" and stated: "[T]hat is a personal attack. And it is questionable whether a network should allow that or not.".....
