NEW YORK How do the St. Petersburg Times and New York Daily News feel about being featured on an "enemies list" that columnist/TV host Bill O'Reilly unveiled Tuesday?

"We reject Mr. O'Reilly's characterizations of our journalism but appreciate that he reads us regularly," Times Executive Editor Neil Brown said wryly, when reached Wednesday by E&P.

Brown added that he doesn't think the Times will lose subscribers and advertisers because of the O'Reilly list. "People make up their own minds," he said.

A Daily News spokesperson said Wednesday that the paper would have "no comment" about being named by O'Reilly.
