O'Reilly makes 'Boulton Factor' jibe

Bill O'Reilly, host of The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, mentioned Adam Boulton's The Boulton Factor show on Sky News as "the most ridiculous item of the day" on his Friday night programme.

"A political editor at Sky News in London, England, Adam Boulton, has a new nightly news programme called, are you ready, The Boulton Factor," O'Reilly said. "Now I'm sure the check is in the mail for your humble correspondent. But more importantly, The Boulton Factor better be good. If not it would be ridiculous."

Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation; Sky News is part of BSkyB, in which News Corp has a 35.75% stake.
