    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    March 21, 2006
    Oh No Not Susan

    On Tuesday night's Countdown, the spin began even as the opening credits rolled:

    Any credibility left? Anyone?

    Olby was talking about the President's press conference, with the subtle headline "Beat the Press" seen in big bold letters behind Krazy Keith and his wig. Olby referenced Lyndon Johnson in 1969, and then ran clips from the presser. Bloviation was supplied by Jim VandeHei of the Post, no doubt invited back because of his track record of astute analysis, as when he told Keith that Dick Cheney would "never" speak about his hunting accident. An NBC report from Norah O'Donnell talked about declining poll numbers and conservative disillusionment, because those subjects never get any coverage on The Hour of Spin.

    To introduce a regurgitated Lisa Myers report about Naji Sabri, an Iraqi who was feeding information to the CIA, Olby put it this way:

    [He] was insisting that Saddam had no biological weapons program, and the administration simply ignored him.

    Note how Keith, who is quick to accuse "Mister" Bush of semantic hairsplitting, only mentioned biological weapons (he pulled the same trick in his earlier tease). But there was more to Myers's report than this one aspect flogged by KO. Sabri also said that Saddam had around "500 metric tonnes of chemical warfare agents", that production of the agents had been renewed and that Iraq had additional stockpiles left over from the Iran-Iraq war. Myers rather airily said that on this Sabri was "wrong", but of course she has no way of knowing that.

    "Oddball" preceded a segment about the New York Daily News report that Bill will have to clear his public comments through Hillary. So what else is new? Howard Fineman, Pundit for All Occasions, called it a "soap opera of power". Then after no report on the Moussaoui trial (to KO it's only news when he can use it to embarrass the administration) we got a #2 story about the "return" of the antiwar entertainers. What, they went somewhere? It was an excuse to give free publicity to Susan Sarandon, Cindy Sheehan, and their ilk. It's more of that canny Olbermann News Judgment: hype Susan Sarandon, ignore Moussaoui. Perhaps Countdown has done similar stories on pro-administration entertainers, but oddly none come to mind. Then celebrity news and the Deborah Lafave non-trial.

    Tuesday's Countdown, though rich with propaganda points, still couldn't match the dizzying centrifugal force of the spin on Monday's edition. But there's always the Media Matters Minute to help balance the scales. This time Olby chose Ann Coulter as "worse", reaching all the way back into last week's entries. Whether that's too far removed to earn Keith his reciprocal video clip posting on the Soros site remains to be seen.

    And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 34th day of the Keith Olbermann CoverUp.

    Johnny Dollar was that you sitting there front row of that "Peace Concert"? I think it was. Anyway as a liberal I must say I really enjoy this site and I think I will invite all my friends to visit it. I think that my friend Moonbeam will enjoy it the most though...

    Dude, I see what you mean, this site is great I'm even gonna tell Flowergirl about it!!!!

    I see what you mean this site is just great, I can't wait to tell Zolar about it...

    johnny d.

    This show is getting so incoherent that I have to check my remote to see the SAP button isn't pressed.
    I've been reading some of David Shamster's past blogs. I didn't relize how off the planet this guy is! I thought he was just making points trying to get back into the game after getting bounced by Fox News. Dave and Olby perfect together. Hey I got it! Countdown can become the rescue mission for anchors and reporters that have no other place to go. Just gotta lean left. WAY LEFT! Like, theres not enough foul territory down the third base line "LEFT!"
    In cable news Bill O'Reilly#1, Brit Hume#2,(check tvnewser) could anybody tell me what number Olby is? Please?
    Oh yeah
    The peace concert......I went down to the one in Phila. but. Only about a twenty people showed up. Channel 6 ActionNews left way early. It's hard to try and spin twenty people into a huge crowd. Yeah, Johnny was there. Passing through on his way to Starbucks for a coffee and the paper. No doubt he already had his laugh for the day!

    Olby a comedian? I refer to a past post, If Olby worked Vegas he would have trouble drawing flies. WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! I GOT IT! Hey you looney libs check this out and I'm surprised Sherry Star hasn't come up with this one. Get Olby and David Shamster and the rest of show and you could all go on one of those celebrity cruises. Just can anybody help me out, what would we call it? Could you picture it, all these loons on one boat. DAY-O!

    Tania I am not a loser. I got a job selling stuff at the park on weekends. I got a 68 VW bus. And I got a tv to watch Olby on!!!! So there!!!!

    This site is getting very boring. It's the same old same old, talk a lot about a certain story you want to, add a lot of spin, ignore stories you can't or don't want to spin and then end off the post with how Keith is a propaganda mister and how he takes notes from mediamatters.org.

    Is there any real evidence that Olberman wears a rug? If there is, let me know. I told my wife that even with that giant ego, even he wouldn't have picked that silver and black grease!

    Do you Olby fans think he's really serious in what he says? He's not! He's playing a prank on everyone. If he really believed in what he said, he would have people of contrarian views on so he can make the case for his side. The reason he pertends to be a leftist is so that the media adores him and Conservatives get all worked up about him.
    People, its a sick joke he's playing on society. Lets not even talk about him anymore! His ego already bigger than it should be!

    The "people" want to know.What is line on Olberman Wig? + 4, false teeth + 7, jeolulsy of Colbert -9.

    Over and under on how many times he complains about "producers making him do a story "34".

    Place your bets!

    I wouldn't bet on Olbermann. We shouldn't mention him. He'll just go away one day.

    If Olby moves to N.P.R. is that just as good as going away?

    He'll do Vegas comedy Shows! I really think Olbermann doesn't have any political views. It's just a prank to get attention.

    This is the best comedy site on the planet:
    www.keitholbermann.org. It makes fun of real life. It's wriiten like an alternate universe novel. I mean it's funny! Olby fans are great pranksters. They have a funny view of reality!

    Hey Non

    Maybe we would talk about other stuff but except for the one story. (The opening everyday Bush-Bash story) everything else on this show is recycled news. And really, WHO?.....WHO, would want to waste an entire hour waiting for Musto or Mo Rocca?

    Say when I was watching towards the end. Olby showed a book (worst person) that he said is comming out in Sept.? That was a joke right? If it's true you know we could have the WORST SELLING BOOK OF ALL TIME! And, what ghost writer would he have? Wait! he has it comming out in sept.? Oh my God! He thinks he's gona turn the mid-terms to the Dems with his book! He has become that anchor in Network!!!!! I'M NOT GONA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!! If this is true, Ladies and Gentlemen.... Olby has left the universe!

    Tania

    A question. If Olby has been doing this as one big goof on everybody. And, after his buddy Kaplin goes. Which is when I think Olby gets bounced. What do you think is Olby's end game? At best he becomes N.P.R. fill in? He's done, toast! What bridge hasn't he burnt? Vegas? No! The Catskills? If The Nevellie is still open? maybe. I know he could do weekends at Monticello Raceway!

    Olby referenced Lyndon Johnson in 1969

    Nitpick - The LBJ reference was to 1967, not 1969.

    But the first significant issue for 2008 has now been put on the table - Iraq. All candidates better be prepared to come up with their own strategy. The biggest question should be "what is victory?" This President keeps changing the goal and the "victory conditions". If victory means the Iraqis can stand on their own feet and defend themselves, the American people better be prepared to be there for a very long time.

    An NBC report from Norah O'Donnell talked about declining poll numbers and conservative disillusionment

    This is a legitimate argument - fiscal conservatives blanch as the budget continues to break records for size and deficits while traditional "small government" conservatives look at the explosion of federal bureaucracy under the Bush Administration (the Department of Homeland Security was enough to give most of this contingent the vapors). The only "conservative" that is being reached is the social/"values" conservative, but that number is not significant enough to drive an agenda.

    Then after no report on the Moussaoui trial

    I read the CNN report, and the AP report. If something significant happened today, neither one of those covered it either. (A former roommate of Moussaoui testified that he heard Moussaoui talk of jihad and that he drove Moussaoui to Minnesota for flight lessons, but the testimony was pre-recorded. An FBI agent also testified with regard to these statements, but his testimony was damaged by a strong cross that painted the FBI as horribly disorganized. So all in all it was a wash. And a dreadfully dull wash at that.)

    This time Olby chose Ann Coulter as "worse", reaching all the way back into last week's entries.

    Coulter publishes only once a week, but I agree that this is a bit of a stretch. She's said far worse than this. There were probably far more deserving candidates.

    The Scoreboard: Friday, March 17
    Total viewers:

    8pm:

    1. O'Reilly (guest host): 1,877,000
    2. Zahn: 525,000
    3. Grace: 390,000
    4. Countdown: 285,000 (LAST)

    Percentage of audience:

    1. Guest Host Fox: 61%
    2. Zahn: 17%
    3. Grace: 13%
    4. Olbermann: 9% (LAST)

    March 31st is fast approaching. Why should we care? Well, because that day will mark the end of three years of Countdown (established March 31, 2003). After three years as a news host, Keith has 285,000 viewers and a whopping 9% share of the cable news audience. Sometimes, numbers speak louder than words.

    It seems to me that for the last week or so, Keith has been more sarcastic, manipulative and blatantly partisan than ever. It's no wonder his ratings are back to where they were last year.

    It's all the fault of the media about what's going on in Iraq. They spend their time, money and risk their lives to go to Iraq. We are fighting a war on terra. And when the media dose get to Iraq they have the nerve to report on of all things A WAR!!!!!! I simply can't believe the nerve of these people. Why on god's green earth would they dare go to a war zone and cover a war???? How dare they? Don't they know they could be making rightwing propaganda films like in the good old day's, of I don't know, let's say Germany!!!!!!

    Oh man, I can't wait to see how much you guys whine about tonights show. Let me guess:

    Start off biased because he claims there's a war against the media (there actually is, so lets stop talking about it as soon as we can).

    Now lets talk about the evil liberal, Helen Thomas. The Propaganda Meister KO is spewing her lies!

    Now, the part we've all been waiting for! Keith had the head of mediamatters.org on his show! Keith is love buddies with Soros and he hates America! He is so biased it's unfunny! What was the subject again?

    P.S. Keith is evil.

    Can't wait to see the whines you guys give about tonights show!

    Lets just call it the - Keith hates America and the troops in Iraq and he loves the media and he also loves Soros and hates Bill O'Reilly and wishes he had a better audience [Enter ratings numbers here] and he's stupid and he's evil.
