Clear-thinking readers of OlbermannWatch will have to excuse Tracy her language. As a dyed-in-the-wool libnut she is unable to express herself without resorting to profanity or insulting the mentally-challenged.[end quote]

comparing this site to retards IS an insult to retards.

Is it Olbermann's perceived bias that bothers you? Are you equally as peeved at O'Reilly, Hannity, etc.? If not, meaning this is one of those places that uses terms like "Democrat Party," then I guess it got a whole lot less interesting.

Just curious. . .

No Mr. Dude, the problem is that KK passes himself off as a newsman, an objective commentator on the issues of the day and won't admit his liberal bias. He also shuts out all points of view that do not agree with his own. Hannity and O'Reilly invite those whose points of view differ from thier own on to thier shows. Olby will not.

Hank says "Hannity and O'Reilly invite those whose points of view differ from thier own on to thier shows. Olby will not."

a) Olbermann has people with whom he does not agree all the time -- he and Fineman don't seem to agree most of the time

b) O'Reilly having someone of opposite view on his show and then calling that person a "pinhead" does not make the show a news show. Almost by definition, it is a commentary show.

I guess I never thought Keith wasn't doing commentary -- doing a segment called "worst person in the world" clued me into that pretty quickly. I find him generally more objective than Hannity or O'Reilly, but he is certainly just as opinionated.

As for decorum, I watch him nearly every night, and I've never seen him call any guest a "pinhead," nor any other derogatory term -- unlike O'Reilly (I've only seen Hannity once, and he did not take personal potshots at his guests). Keith's obsession with O'Reilly is getting old; however, O'Reilly is not a guest on the show, and, thus, it is distinguishable from O'Reilly's dismissive derision of guests he does not like.

I've not seen a time when Fineman and Olby have had a serious disagreement. They are both pretty far left so I don't think Fineman counts as a person who would, to a significant degree, challenge Olby's viewpoints, so my point stands

hey, dumbshits, Countdown is not just a straight news show. it's news with commentary.

so all those here who rail against Keith's bias, or his lack of dissenting guests, or his surplus of assenting guests, or that it's not a real news show, or that it's not fair and balanced, are missing the point. (kind of like the fox news red herrying when O'Reilly railed against last year's "stolen christmas").

get a clue, people. you just don't like what the show says because you disagree with it's take on the truth.

and all ya gotta do to reality-check your own take on the truth is see how much your illegal president has fucked things up. you name it, 9/11, katrina, iraq -- the adminstration has fucked it up. you're just not willing to SEE THAT TRUTH. which means your clueless. it's like this, imagine you were arguing FOR vietnam, and mcarthyism, and salvery, and shit like that. that's you people. you just won't realize for another couple of decades. and that's if you're lucky.

Thank you, Ms. E for that intellectually stimulating and erudite post. Between the f- bombs and your spellbinding and compelling analysis of conservative thought (you are clueless . .imagine you were arguing for vietnam, and mccarthyism, and salvery [sic], and s**t like that. that's you people) Wow. Sheer brilliance.

To return to the purpose of the website (discussion of Krazy Keith), did you know, Ms. E that Mr. Olby sees himself as someone who is objective and not favoring one side or the other? To the extent that there are critics of KK on this website who point out that KK is biased and doesn't allow other points of view, it is in response to KK's OWN claims that he does not show favoritism to libs or conservatives, which you seem to realize is a false claim(unlike NonFactor, another lib poster who tried to claim KK IS objective). Anyway, I'm sure you're a lovely person in spite of your animosity towards conservatives.

Add another lie to the long, long list.

"Listen, I know of nobody — I don’t know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I’d like to know it, and we’ll take the appropriate action." -George W. Bush, 9/30/03

WASHINGTON -- Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff has testified that President Bush authorized him to disclose the contents of a highly classified intelligence assessment to the media to defend the Bush administration's decision to go to war with Iraq, according to papers filed in federal court on Wednesday.

This is not an honest administration and the idea of trusting that they are limiting their illegal national security activity only to "terrorists" is ludicrous, whether it's the NSA spying, Guantanamo, war profiteering or anything else -- this administration lies.

"Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales left open the possibility yesterday that President Bush could order warrantless wiretaps on telephone calls occurring solely within the United States -- a move that would dramatically expand the reach of a controversial National Security Agency surveillance program."

Bob- Do you think Keith Olbermann is honest?
