A Clear-Thinking OlberLoon?

If there is such a thing he looks a lot like Tom Armstrong at Thoughts Chase Thoughts:

It is hard for me to be hammering the great host of the show Countdown with Keith Olbermann that appears on MSNBC weeknights, since I have been a great admirer of Olbermann and his program, the first great American liberal-oriented news show...in the last few weeks he has done things highly worthy of criticism, I can only hope he will hear from people like myself and be made aware that in some ways he has taken up the flaws he finds so appalling in the Bush Administration and in the much-skewered Bill Oâ€™Reilly, whose show is on opposite his on Fox...Olbermann is taking the low road, ginning up his reputation as the snarling opposite of Bill Oâ€™Reilly.

Oh my! A lefty has seen the light! I guess he won't be getting a check from Olby anytime soon.

Glad I found this great site.
I simply can't stomach olbermann, he is so jealous of Fox and O'Reilly that it is tiresome.
He sure likes to spout the political stuff, kinda odd from a fired sportscaster, how'd that happen?

Drew's mom

Welcome. We appreciate having all clear-thinking readers contribute to the site. Just ignore the OlbyLoons and you will thoroughly enjoy your time here.

You ask: "He sure likes to spout the political stuff, kinda odd from a fired sportscaster, how'd that happen?"

To quote Keith's hero from this famous RTNDA speech in 1958:
http://www.rtnda.org/resources/speeches/murrow.shtml

"that your voice is amplified to the degree where it reaches from one end of the country to the other does not confer upon you greater wisdom or understanding than you possessed when your voice reached only from one end of the bar to the other. "

Does that answer your question?

You know, I'm sick of the "because O'Reilly does it, it's okay for Olby to do it too" argument. For the record, it's wrong if either of them do something that is wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right no matter how many times you try to justify Olby's outrageous acts, lies, and distortions. Has O'Reilly made mistakes? Yes, and he's been crucified for them, and that may well be because people actually now who he is, something you can't really say about Olbermann, given his fourth place ratings. Anyway, it seems that whatever Olby does, there is a contingent that is ready, willing and more than able to justify whatever it is by trying to using lines like "But Fox does. . .' or "But Bill O'Reilly does. . . ". Sorry, that excuse doesn't wash with me.

O'lielly, fill out your donor card, NOW. Of course, if your organs are pickled or cirrhotic, forget it. Then try self-immolation. You're trash.

How long before Brian at TVN attacks this Armstrong guy like he has been doing to Nancy Grace, BOR and anybody else who is better than Olby.
