OLBYWATCH GUIDE: The big story on every channel was the deadly tsunami. But KO didn't think the deaths of tens of thousands of people were worth more than one segment. He had bigger fish to fry. After all, he had to leave time to file yet another report on VoteFraud2004inOhioButNotPennsylvania.
But first, analysis of Iraq developments, courtesy of Roger Cressey, described by KO as an MSNBC analyst and "terrorism expert". Left unsaid in Olbermann's intro: Cressey served in the Clinton administration as chief acolyte to Richard Clarke, and desperately defended Bubba as a someone who "fought hard to counter terrorism". Cressey is currently the candidate of choice of a coalition of lefty loons who want a "progressive" Secretary of Homeland Security. The perfect guest expert for Countdown!
But then, finally, some real news!
Olby made much ado about a statement by a Kerry attorney regarding the "integrity of the electoral process", even though the attorney later made clear that he was not talking about any kind of "conspiracy theory"--such a thing just isn't likely. Keith held out a bit of hope that someone in the Congress would challenge the Ohio electors (in language lifted right out of his blog) even though it isn't likely. Hapless Howard Fineman was dragged in yet again to speculate on how there might be a challenge but (breaking news!) it isn't likely. KO gave a brief history of attempts to eliminate the electoral college (but it isn't likely), and mentioned in passing the Washington Governor's race. It will surprise no one that KO made no mention whatsoever of conveniently discovered ballots or other irregularities in that race; after all, the last vote count was won by a Democrat.
OLBERMANN NEWSWORTHINESS RATIO:
Tsunami kills tens of thousands in disaster of Biblical proportions: 11 minutes.
VoteFraud2004inOhioButNotPennsylvania news of what isn't likely: 8.5 minutes.
William Hung Sings Christmas Favorites: 7 minutes.
YOU ARE A LOSER, PLEASE GET A LIFE
Ditto, Faye.
Faye,
If you are spending time visiting blogs to tell people to get a life, might that really be advice you should consider yourself????
Personally, I think he is performing a valuable service. It would be a good thing if all news outlets were examined and critiqued as thoroughly.

better off starting with propaganda station #1:
FOX (FAUX) NEWS
Booger,
This site is OlbermannWatch. Even a dopey loon like you ought to be able to figure out that this blog focuses on Keith Olbermann.
There IS a well-funded blog called Newshounds that covers Fox News Channel from a lefty point of view. There is also the Soros-funded Media Matters for America. And there are about a million lefty blogs out there.
YOU would be better of leaving this site and going over there rather than coming here where your left-wing tripe is not welcome.
Please don't go away mad, just go away.
Did anyone else notice how Howard Fineman squirmed through that piece like he needed Preparation H?
However, I was pleasantly surprised that Keith actually ventured to Fineman that John Conyers might be beating this dead horse in hope that it "negates" some of Bush's election victory capital. Duhhhh.... ya think?
Then there's the latest Bloggermann bit where Keith expresses his reason for not interviewing on Countdown the guy who claims he was asked to write a program that could hack into voting machines. That claim is in dispute, Keith says, and to air it is to give it credibility.
Whoa! What are these sudden flashes of journalistic balance and restraint from a guy who routinely airs every theory from his left-wing fans in the blogosphere.
Could it be that this story is looking less like a gloriously wrapped box from Santa, holding any sort of delight that might tarnish the White House?
Has Olbermann gleaned that he has crossed the line between clashing with windmills because he 'thinks for himself' and gone into the area where the only likely casualty is his credibility?
We'd be pretty safe in betting that it's self-interest rather than a broader perspective that's motivating the more balanced Keith.

More Olber'n news here.
I agree with what was said earlier, Fineman did not look like a happy camper Monday night.
Good blog, Dirty Harry. I'll visit frequently.

Notice how the fantasy includes the death penalty!
Stop the killing and the torture! God is watching you people. (As you watch Keith.)
One word Cindy, just one word, MEDICATION; get it regulated.
Next thing you'll be saying is Halliburton, Halliburton, for the oil, for the oil! Sheeessshhhhhhhhhh.

Thanks for the psychic forecast and insightful analysis of Ms. Rhoads predicted comments. Both soothsayer and pundit...do you also sing and dance?
Paul: "Both soothsayer and pundit...do you also sing and dance?"
Dance quite well but can't sing a note. Amazing too, my Mom sang quite well but could never get me to practice. Too busy dancing.
Lighten up, life is short!
