Michael Berube's version of the list is less accurate and more entertaining. I always knew Bullwinkle Moose couldn't be trusted.
For those you who don't think O'Reilly doesn't make enemy lists - you really need to pay more attention. O'Reilly has his Hall of Shame on his website.

O'Reilly has had long run-ins with the St. Petersburg Times. Times columnist Eric Deggans considered this an honor.
I once wrote -- in what must surely have been an unconscious appropriation of someone else's great thoughts -- that you judge a journalist by the enemies they make. Using that yardstick, the St. Petersburg Times joined the big leagues following Fox News Channel gasbag Bill O'Reilly's decision to place us in second place on his Nixonian media enemies list.
O'Reilly called the St. Petersburg Times "perhaps the worst newspaper in the country." That's an odd statement against a newspaper that has won it's fair share of Pultizer Prizes. This is also a bold statement from a man who hosted Inside Edition and unsuccessfuly hit on Jenna Jameson. Perhaps O'Reilly can explain the jounalistic ethics behind asking a panelist for free porn tapes and other unsaid goodies.

That's one impressive list of enemies.
Guess he left Peter Jennings off 'cause he's dead and all. Or else I missed it.
