Rollling Stone is hailing Keith Olbermann as "The Most Honest Man in News". In yet another hard-hitting look at the media-anointed superstar, Mark Binelli finds little not to like about KO.
"Since August, the show's nightly audience has increased by sixty-three percent" (for new readers, this is the standard trick of measuring KO's audience growth from the day after the Rummy Rant - the Friday before Labor Day weekend, the lowest ratings night for Countdown all year - to whatever day gives the biggest possible number)
"Last June, the Daily News printed e-mail exchanges between Olbermann and hostile viewers...Though the e-mails were meant to embarrass Olbermann, they only served to underline what people already know and like about him."
Arianna Huffington says "Keith's importance, to me, is as a truth teller"
"President Clinton recently sent him a handwritten note of congratulations."
"President Clinton recently sent him a handwritten note of congratulations."
And Keith sent Bubba back the blue dress KO wore when he conducted that "hard hitting" interview him a few months ago. There was no DNA on this dress .... 30 seconds into the interview, everybody knew KO swallowed.
The letter was probably a good down payment by Bill for keeping Keith on Hillary's side (as of Thursday's "Countdown"), since the bulk of Olbermann's more ardent supporters right now are hopping aboard the Obama bandwagon, due to their anger over her Iraq war votes.
How long he will be willing to continue to go against the flow on this, especially if both sides refuse to let the feud die down, remains to be seen -- the ratings-challenged "Countdown" can hardly afford to alienate the die-hards on the left by having them believe Keith's in the Clintons' pocket, even if only in the mildest way. If that happens, the next Rolling Stone interview may not be so kind as the 2008 primary battles heat up.
This is hardly a shock. Rolling Stone magazine could actually be the left politically of Keith. (somewhere near Mao on the ideological chart)
Odormoronn barely finished an abysmal third place out of five shows on Tuesday, February 22, 2007, because the Deal or No Deal rerun was moved out of Odormoronn's time slot by CNBC to prevent additional humiliation for MSNBC and the carnival barker:
8PM - P2+ (25-54)
O'Reilly Factor - 2,217,000 viewers (459,000)
Paula Zahn - 515,000 viewers (132,000)
Fast Money - 148,000 viewers (56,000)
Nancy Grace - 805,000 viewers (335,000)
Meltdown w/ Odormoronn - 664,000 viewers (245,000)
9 PM - P2+ (25-54)
Deal or No Deal - 706,000 viewers (195,000)
I think we are all here in agreement pretty much that keith is who he is. If you accept the comedy element of it there is nothing about his journalistic integrity you can take seriously when the majority of his interviews go something along the lines of this
Hey George Bush blows, lets bring in dick hertz from air america to discuss, dick doesnt george blow? Great thanks!
MSNBC has flipped completely to the left and they have adopted Keef as their poster boy of integrity. Why even give Rolling Stone a mention when they lost their relevance in 1979?
And also bear in mind the number of people who post here are the same people who get their news on a nightly basis from Comedy Central
"Rollling Stone is hailing Keith Olbermann as "The Most Honest Man in News"."
"The Most Honest Man in News"? Does Rolling Stone even watch the show?
"Arianna Huffington says "Keith's importance, to me, is as a truth teller"
Gee. I wonder why she thinks that? Maybe it's because Keith quotes her website all the time and Arianna herself has been a quest on his show 100 times and Keith has kissed her butt each and every time.
"President Clinton recently sent him a handwritten note of congratulations."
Interesting. Could this have anything to do with Keith calling an interviewer who asked President Clinton legitimate questions a "monkey"?
Firstly: Comedy Central does a much better job of reporting the news than the Fox Noise Channel.
Nextly: When are you WingNuts, FReepers and other spellcheck-challenged knuckledraggers going to figure it out; your team has f---ed things up so badly that your run is over. . .the Reality-Based folks are taking over. . .deal with it, bitches!!!
What do you smoke Prick? is it good stuff? Good luck figuring out the country between south park reruns and stephen colbert....you are an intellectual of high order
It don't matter what I smoke.
You yahoos can't even adjust a color TV!!! (OrangeMann, indeed!!)
thats the best you have? Keith orangemann speaking the keef truth? man, so much for trying to stir it with a guy leaving home in his mothers basement in his boxershorts
Keith is pissing off the rightwingers.. Keith is god.
bwahahahahahahahahaha Keith is God, another guy living at home in his parents basement with his pants around his ankles waiting for Colbert to come on ...........Keith is your Orange God
Got no basement, and Mom's been dead for 15 years, you a--hole!!!
I'm not a doctor, but I play one on television equipment!
Your not a doctor but you play one on television equipment, is that line used on the kids in the neighborhood?
Uh-Oh, Looks like the left is getting their very own Rush Limbaugh. Finally, a left wing voice in the middle of the conservative media.

Mom, Keith just got a new contract, and now people are saying nice things about him!
Question:
Given KO's new contract, should Olbermann Watch shut down?
Yes, immediately!
No, never!
The site should close at the end of KO's new contract in 2111.
The site should close when KO beats O'Reilly in the ratings.
________________________________________________
This site should shut down when Cox and his minions realize there are far more productive ways to spend leisure time than by attacking someone who makes his living stating the obvious.
...But in the meantime, if it keeps crazy conservatives off the streets, Great Work Guys!
This is great. OWatch is keeping a count of how many major publications and outlets are trumpeting Olbermann as a breath of fresh air. But, what OWatch, Dollar and Cox fail to see... is that the MAJORITY (much like the democratic party) are seeing him that way. Your plan to make him look bad by pointing out everyone who likes him and chastizing them, only further calls to attention the vast people who enjoy him. (that was very convoluted, but I think my point was made)
Rolling Stone are so young ... there bed time is at 8:00. How do they even know who Keith Olbermann is if they have to go to bed at 8:00 for school tommorow ?!?!?
James come on, heres a guy who trumpets the alarm when he wins a quarter hour 8.45-9.00 pm in one demo, the bottom line is ratings, when a silly thing like anna nicole happens no one is turning to keith for it and he gets his ass handed to him
He loses nightly 4-1 and 2-1 and the asshats here can say o reilys demo is old blah blah, its all bs cause keiths demo is old also
That said, they were wise enough to have him no compete with deal or no deal which was flat silly
Trends, Dan. Trends. It's like skeet shooting... or say hunting! (for all you Cheney fans). You don't shoot where the target is... you shoot where it's moving to. Olbermann is moving up, viewership is growing. And there's nothing anyone can say to prove otherwise.
Speakin of Bill O' Rielly and Anna Nicole Smith --- yesterday, Olbermann Watch was debating the Anna Nicole Smith ordeal and the sitemonitor says that the judges ruling was not daunting.
Well, well, well --- here I have some proof that it was and it come straight from the one man that nobody of this website dares disagree with ---> Bill O' Rielly !!!!!
From the February 22 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: Hi. I'm Bill O'Reilly, reporting tonight from Los Angeles. Thank you for watching us. There have been a couple of rulings in this never-ending Anna Nicole Smith situation. We'll have that for you in a few moments.
"Never ending Anna Nicole Smith situation". Hmmmmmmmm --- it sounds like Bill O' Rielly was in with the truthfull side of this argument (me, Olbermann, and the judge presiding over the case)!!! I was correct ! Daunting indeed !!!
we'll see if you are right my friend, we'll see if you are right, personally i was a fan until the 900000000000 bill o reily slam which now just seems like rehashed howard stern to attack the guy whose in front of you. Now i really only just come here to read the recaps, I do work in television though and I know the bottom line is the bottom line, the 4 shows in back of o reily combined dont outdraw o reily, that really says it all
Bill O' Rielly = smarmy attitude
O'Reilly pulls a lot of viewers who happen to hate his guts. Just like I'm sure a few people here catch Olbermann (just to do research, I'm sure...)
...And Dan, fixing TV's at your mom and pop repair shop isn't exactly '..doing work in television.'
But Olbermann himself still insists he's not a liberal. Yet his fans all recognize that he is. They realize they are getting a biased show and somehow justify that by saying, "He's our answer to Fox", but Fox at least presents others with differing opinions. Keith and Countdown don't do that, it's liberal, lefties only. That's not journalism for the 999,999 time and THAT is why Olbermann will not admit to being one of you. I'd be insulted he wouldn't own it i I were one of you leftists, that your media hero won't even acknowledge you. But Keith knows that if he still wants to pretend he's a journalist, he has to pretend he isn't biased. That ship sailed a long time ago.
I also noticed in that article that he seems to think he'd make a fine replacement for Katie Couric. Couric's a tool but she's still 10x better than Olbermann will ever be and she has the career to prove it.
"that he seems to think he'd make a fine replacement for Katie Couric. "
Yep, he's said this several times on the Dan Patrick radio show.
Delusions of grandeur, they call it.
One of the reasons you've never seen Olbermann and O'Reilly in the same room at the same time is because such a collection of egos in a small room would cause a rip in the space-time continuum. Our solar system would just, poof, disappear.
Rollling Stone is hailing Keith Olbermann as "The Most Honest Man in News".
Most honest?? That is very insulting to a lot of good jounalists. Even Olbermann fans must admit this is a major ass kissing.
OBAMA:
"Never ending Anna Nicole Smith situation". Hmmmmmmmm --- it sounds like Bill O' Rielly was in with the truthfull side of this argument (me, Olbermann, and the judge presiding over the case)!!! I was correct ! Daunting indeed !!!
That's weak dude, and you know it. "The situation" isn't "the judge's ruling." It's the whole saga. From the death, to the court case, to the ruling... and everything in between. Come on, you're better than that.

How long have I heard the numb-nuts on this site tell me Keith's numbers are growing?
Let me ask this question. How many times last year did I see Keith get over 1 million viewers for his shows. Well if I'm correct it was...once?
Now, how many times did O'Reilly get less than one million viewers on his show??......Zero?
And I think that could also include any fill in host.
When that demo changes, come say something to me. Until then, stop it you look foolish.
O'Reilly(champ) Olby, Zahnn, Grace, (the lower rung riff-raff.)
Okay here was the latest media pump-up for this telepromter reading hack. How many times have I seen this? Why this time, will it work when all the rest have failed?
Here's the funny part. Maybe after this weekend, Let's say the half-hour news hour does not get picked up. Well even in it's short run that show did something Olby can't do. Bring in 1.5 million viewers.
This could be a reach but, I think I know whats going on here. You see ying-yangs that post on this site along with people in the news hate Bill O'Reilly. But he is number one, the champ. Right now he has the belt. No one wants to take him on.
If it's somebody like a Brian Williams or a Katie Curic or a Lester Holt. Bill will beat them and that can only hurt their image. Hence no wing nut on the left will try it because O'Reilly will just crush them. Hence bring forth the loon's poster child of the month, 'Keith Olbermann'.
And right now he is the poster child of the far, far, left wing nuts. No left of center free(if there is one) thinking liberal watches him. He is pigioned holed!
Look at Media Matters, they have a problem with everybody in Media but Keith is Mr. Perfect! he can do no wrong. Huffington Post, Daily Kos, etc. etc. Keith is Mr.Perfect! Keith is the new man! and Bill gets hit pieces almost everyday on these sites. At The end of the day? Bill on top! Olby down with the riff-raff.
But now this latest Dog and Pony press show is going to make Olby the King. Okay kids, the rest failed but this time...... Take another hit!
Last night Keith sweated bullets when he had to do that Hillary/Obama story. No one wants this story to go away more than Keith, because he is in with the Clintons. He has placed his bets right down on their number. But, he can't show that hand because if he does. Ratings evaporate!!
All the wing-nuts that are with Obama leave. And if he starts to get bad blogs about him? Goodbye!
Welcome to the land of Chris Mathews!! (Chris) Yeah Keith I remember when I was a darling of the left, then.....
Keith has been chosen by the Clintons to be allowed to interview Hillary. He ain't givin' that up!
But as far as him becoming main stream. Look, You can lead a horse out back of the stable over by the big pile of manure. But when you get there the horse is just gona look at you and say. Okay, it's a pile a s**t, so what?
Still I have to admit the funniest line of the year so far has to be.
"The Most Honest Man In News".
Second had to be the writer used 'news' because he probably could not spell 'journalism'.
'The Most Honest Man In News'
If you really believe that you:
A) Need more help than Britney Spears or
B) Are a STOOGE of Olby's posting here.
And really, I don't know what is worse.
Chalk one up for Teheran Keith...
The truth teller won't finish the Habeas Corpus Story...
The Edward R Murrow of our time.
If it's somebody like a Brian Williams or a Katie Curic or a Lester Holt. Bill will beat them and that can only hurt their image. Hence no wing nut on the left will try it because O'Reilly will just crush them. Hence bring forth the loon's poster child of the month, 'Keith Olbermann'.
----------------------------------------------------
Oh please, puck. If Bill O' Rielly was beat by aformenentioned - would Bill's image be hurt by being #s 2/3/4... nope. Not at all. You know he would still be acting like a big shot. Like he is the ruler of the world. Like he was prime realestate. Like he was the squishiest loofa. He would still be making excuses and pontifications, and law in other cities. Usually child laws. Some border stuff. Believe you-me, however ... Bill O' Rielly is filled with blubber.
Mark Binelli is probably another gay white male just like the kind that are on keith's show everynight. Why are all of keith's guests gay white males?
"The truth teller won't finish the Habeas Corpus Story..."
Great point.
How many shows/segments did KO do with Jonathan Alter and John Dean talking (falsely) about how American's habeas rights were taken away?
It was, of course, alien detainees who weren't given habea rights because prior to the Court's ruling in Rasul (which had to do with statutory habeas rights and not Constitutional), NO aliens captured overseas were ever given habeas rights.
A Brookings Institute scholar points this out here: http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w070219&s=wittes022207
He'll never be on Countdown, that's for sure.
And a Federal Appeals Court upheld that procedure of not allowing alien detainees held overseas access to civilian courts.
Can you imagine having to give habeas rights to EVERY person we capture overseas in a war? Near the end of WWII, we had something like 250,000 German men held in camps. Imagine trying to process that group of people in our civilian courts?
Impossible.
"and Jonathan Alter"
Make that Turley, not Alter.
Although you could throw him in the mix too.

Republican Rudy GiulianiIn a match-up between the early 2008 frontrunners, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) leads New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) 52% to 43%. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Giuliani’s lead growing in recent months. His current nine-point advantage is up from a six point lead in January and a four-point lead in December.
Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) leads New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) 52% to 43%. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Giuliani’s lead growing in recent months.
********************************************************************
And here is a sample of that telephone poll:
"Hello, this a phone poll, could have few minutes of your time? Just one question, who would you vote for in the 2008 Presidential election, America's mayor Rudy G or that whore who bangs Slick Willy?"
Gosh I am suprised Mrs Clinton got as high of ratings as she did.
If Olbermann truly were "non-partisan" or "non-biased," he'd have named among the "Worst Persons in the World":
- A state ACLU lawyer in the South who, like the national ACLU, has consistently opposed laws designed to filter Internet content to keep out child pornography - who was recently busted by the Feds because he had pictures of child porn (surprise, surprise) on his computer.
- Sheila Jackson Lee, for her despicable proposal that Congress "reconsider" its ban on shipping fighter jet parts to Hugo Chavez's communist hell known as Venezuela - just as a few examples - or at least some other of these international socialist nutjobs just to balance which side of the ideological spectrum gets such "awards." (Ms. Lee doesn't belong in Congress, she belongs in an orange jumpsuit for such demonstrating so nakedly to what extent she's an agent of Chavez - not to mention the outright treason and sedition inherent in that proposal.) But the fact that Keith doesn't do that (hey, he probably agrees with her position anyway), shows which side of the fence he's so slanted towards, dunnit? To name but a few, the rabble-rousers, the street vermin, the pony-tailed '60's hippie anarchists, the terror symps, the America-haters, the friends of tinpot dictators and despots the world over, the open borders/illegal aliens' lobby, the anti-cop, pro-criminal rent-a-mobs, etc. - you name it. And don't get me started on that phony "My producers put a gun to my head and threatened to out me as a [put whatever peccadillo here] if I didn't do the latest on Day 16 7/8 of the Anna Nicole Smith death watch" or something like that - the fact that The Olberrated One focuses so inordinately on such trivial dreck (if not Ms. Smith, then that other has-been wacko, Britney Spears) is precisely to DIVERT the public's attention away from the threat we face from our enemies both from without and from within, however much his trolls try to deny such a threat exists and attack the messengers for even sounding the alarm.
(Sidenote - And as for the title of Hillary's little book, being as Hillary's mentioned here: If there were truth in advertising, her book would be called "It Takes a Village . . . To Raise An Idiot.")
And just a few days ago, Mike Lupica did another of his political commentaries in the Daily News - I suppose to build himself up as another Olbermann? How long will it be before we see Lupica as a pinch-hitting backup for Keith on "Countdown"?
Is it any wonder, then, that the Rolling Stone article is characterized herein as a fawning, bending-over-backwards "puff piece"?
"My producers put a gun to my head and threatened to out me as a [put whatever peccadillo here] if I didn't do the latest on Day 16 7/8 of the Anna Nicole Smith death watch" or something like that - the fact that The Olberrated One focuses so inordinately on such trivial dreck (if not Ms. Smith, then that other has-been wacko, Britney Spears) is precisely to DIVERT the public's attention away from the threat we face from our enemies both from without and from within,
Like Fox News is not spending wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more time on these trash subjects to divert attention away from body bags and tens of thousands of maimed GI's who are having more and more services cut with each budget Bush proposes?
You out of your freaking mind. Yes MSNBC, CNN and Fox are flooding our televisions with mindless crap you a--hole, that way you won't insist on some justice in the way our nation governs itself.
f---ing billionaires get tax breaks and our GI's come home to live in poverty as they drive 200 miles to get to Vet hospitals on $3/gallon gas they gave their left leg or right arm for.
You are one stupid a--hole to say anything about Keith Olbermann playing up the Smith death while ignoring the fact that every news station in the country uses OJ, Brittney, Paris Hilton and Nicole Smith along with any other brain dead bullsh-t that will distract you and a nation of pin heads from participating in the process of how this nation will be ran - by billionaires.
You are one HUGE a--hole!
So it's our fault that the powers-that-be in the media would rather focus on tabloid television (that gets better ratings) than real news? If a Dem is elected in '08 who are you going to blame for every ill of the world then?
Rolling Stone is circling the drain
Olby's honest? They must be insane
Krazy Keith is their man
With Cindy Sheehan
Next time they'll praise Saddam Hussein
http://www.tompaine.com/articles/2007/02/23/everyone_loves_keith_olbermannexcept_me.php
To 'cottonel': Blame Murtha, Pelosi, Reid, Levin (Carl, not Mark), Kennedy, Kerry et al., and their concern about the so-called "rights" of the terrorists who would cut our throats, as well as these rogues' yammering about Abu Ghraib, Gitmo and the Haditha so-called "massacre," for our troops ending up in body bags. And not just from the "aiding and abetting the enemy" angle: A major prescription for ending up in a body bag is to follow the retarded, politically correct "rules of engagement" on the order of "wait till the enemy fires at you first" (that is one thing Bush and the now ex-Defense Secretary Rumsfeld could be faulted for emphasizing in this whole deal; if they were really concerned about winning this decisively, they wouldn't have tied our troops' hands behind their back as they have). Those eight Marines who were court-martialed at Camp Pendleton (thanks to Murtha, by the way, and Time magazine's Tim McGurk, both of whom took the hearsay word of THE ENEMY), did what they did to defend themselves, so they wouldn't end up like their comrades in battle. And the Left couldn't care less about our troops, either - except to mock or belittle them, or in some extreme cases spit in their faces. (There's not much honor on either side of the political spectrum, unfortunately.)
And to whoever claimed that Murtha's a "friend" of our troops: With "friends" like him, our troops hardly need any enemies.
And to 'Someone gets it': Given what that article noted about Keith's particular attitude towards women, somehow it wouldn't surprise me that he wouldn't utter a peep about the violence towards women that is not only tolerated but in fact sanctioned in countries that are under the yoke of Islamist 'sharia' law (not only stoning to death or hanging in a public square for adultery, or "honor" killings, but also forced female circumcision, "arranged" marriages, the fact that women have no rights and are treated even worse than camels, etc.). But then, that "progressives" idolize Olbermouth even with such disrespectful comments of his is not surprising, given their likewise idolization of Teddy "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy, Bill "I Did Not Have Sex With That Woman" Clinton, and so forth.
a Concerned Citizen:
So you would rather we went in with overwhelming force, shot anyone who looked at an American soldier the wrong way and crushed the country to a bloody pulp (even though 90% of the people in Iraq are NOT the enemy)?
It's knuckleheads like you that don't get it -the terrorists don't "hate us for our freedoms", they hate us BECAUSE OF OUR FOREIGN POLICY ACTIONS. Your way of doing things would REINFORCE THAT PERCEPTION and it would drive away moderate Islamic nations like Egypt and Pakistan - allies WE NEED in the region. It would solidify the hard-liners grip on Iran, and probably inflame tensions in Saudi Arabia (where only the hard rule of the House of Saud keeps the extremists from rising up) and several other nations.
(even though 90% of the people in Iraq are NOT the
enemy)
I would like to know where the statistic could be validated, I think it is more like 50/50, muslim lover.
Kudos to a concerned citizen, I couldn't have said it better myself.
The DU Crowd has posted the personal email address of the woman who wrote the piece for TomPaine.com along with posts she made to a friend on that friend's personal website. Classy huh? Do they get how hypocritical they are being when they attak a fellow-liberal for having an opinion that differs from their own? Only group-think allowed amongst the Keith Fans though as a group and the liberals as a whole apparently.
"Only group-think allowed amongst the Keith Fans though as a group and the liberals as a whole apparently."
So the actions of one person condemns the entire liberal movement? Classy. And the typical conservative response - find the most irrational liberal available and hold them up as an example of the "typical" liberal.
You claim that the action of the cyberstalker in that DU group aren't representative of the group as a whole or of liberals as a whole but yet I don't see one single person in that DU group call down the poster who was cyberstalking. Face it, they condone and practice cyberstalking and no one has a problem with it. What your issue is now is that someone HERE has called you on it and naturally you have time to post a protest HERE but not there. Classy. And oh so typical.
"You claim that the action of the cyberstalker in that DU group aren't representative of the group as a whole or of liberals as a whole but yet I don't see one single person in that DU group call down the poster who was cyberstalking."
The that's their problem. I don't run DU. I don't even post there. I only went there to see what the hell the person who made the claim here was talking about.
"Face it, they condone and practice cyberstalking and no one has a problem with it."
Wow, what a leap of logic.
"What your issue is now is that someone HERE has called you on it and naturally you have time to post a protest HERE but not there."
As I said, I DON'T POST THERE. I'm complaining about it because the person made the ASSUMPTION that the poster was a Keith Olbermann fan.
So where's your condemnation of their stalking of this woman? You're still defending them. No where in your posts here on THIS board, where you CAN post, have you expressed your displeasure that these people dug up a four year old post the writer of that article had made on a friend's blog and posted it on their website. Do you have no problem with them posting her personal email address? Her resume? Her personal history? Where's you condemnation of all of that? You're certainly free to express your displeasure with their actions HERE, but no, instead what are you complaining about? Me. Typical.
And the person made the assumption that the poster was a Keith Olbermann fan? Oh yeah, that was a "leap of logic" on my part alright. That comment was posted in a Keith Olbermann FAN GROUP on DemocraticUnderground. I mean what other conclusion could ANY SANE PERSON possibly come to when they read the posts in that thread other than these KeithKrazies are Keith Olberman fan(atic)s? And as a regular reader of their oh-so-amusing little FAN forum, I can tell you the posts were made by REGULAR posters in that fan forum. Furthermore, DU doesn't allow any dissenting opinons of Olbermeister.
"Do you have no problem with them posting her personal email address? Her resume? Her personal history? Where's you condemnation of all of that?"
I don't condone these actions - I find them distasteful and dangerous. But I am in no position to regulate what is or is not said on DU.
"And as a regular reader of their oh-so-amusing little FAN forum, I can tell you the posts were made by REGULAR posters in that fan forum."
Prove it.
What do you mean, "prove it"? All anyone has to do is to go to DU and look at the posters names in that thread and then go to other threads in that same "group" and they are all there! It's easier for you to "challenge" me than apologize for one of your own I suppose. But don't try to pretend it wasn't an Olbermann fan who has posted personal information about a writer who had the 'audacity" to speak the TRUTH about your Hero Olbermann.
Here's where the poster who began the thread in the Keith Olbermann FAN FORUM posted the information regarding the author, including a post some three years old she made on a friend's blog. He posts her personal information. He has over 1000 posts on DU and multiple posts in the DU FAN FOURM.

You have to laugh at the Olbyloons. They really believe they can say it's daytime outside when it's midnight and then hope and pray no one will open up the shades to look out and see if they're lying, which they always are. When they get caught doing something outrageous like this, they refuse to apologize, and instead that the actions of one aren't their responsibility, aren't representative of them as a whole, yada yada yada, but I just went to that thread and there's not a single person there who has called this person down for posting that info. There's not a single person in that thread who has suggested they edit their post. There's not a single person there who has suggested that the writer has some valid points. Instead, it's all piling on the writer, claiming that the writer is full of it, and utterly denying what regular readers of Owatch and smarter viewers of Olbermann's have known for a long time, he's got issues with women. Not one Olbermann fan HERE has posted that they thought the poster of that personal information was over the line until Brandon called them out on it. It's not only Olbermann they apologize and justify and try to cover for, it's one another. And they hope that no one will go to their fan forums and discover their dirty little secrets. Too bad apologists, they've been exposed, just like Olbermann, here for all to see. No wonder you want to shut down Olbermannwatch.

Oh how they delude themselves.
You suck and so does Bill Orally
And that proves what exactly? My post didn't say that O'Reilly didn't, it just said that Olbermann does. It's also important to remember the young woman in that case left Fox and then came back for more. Sounds like a relationship gone bad to me and she sought her revenge and she got it. But that has NOTHING to do with your hero Olbermann.
And what do you know, the mods at DU, after leaving up the posting of that writer's personal information up for almost 24 hours, finally decided to pull it. Gee, wonder what in the word could have made them decide to do such a thing? Too bad for them I've got the screen grab that proved they left it up and none of the DUmmies protested until AFTER it had been yanked. How brave of them. Methinks they doth protest a bit too much AFTER the fact.
