To say Keith Olbermann is two-faced is like discovering that water is wet. And nowhere does he get tied up in contradictory knots like he does when talking about his favorite topic: himself.
His masquerading as an "impartial" newsman is the oldest trick in the Olby playbook:
I have no more interest in the political outcome of an election than I did in the winner or loser of any ballgame I ever covered.... If a reporter's work in turn winds up criticizing a candidate or party in some cases, and praising that same candidate or party in others, he's as close to neutral as he can be. If not, he's a partisan.
That makes sense. While Olbermahn criticized the Republican Party as the greatest terrorist threat in America, that's balanced out by when he praised the Republican Party for...
For... um...
But back to Oralmann, who just recently told the world--again--that he has no political biases. None at all! Which brings us to today, when once again he was singing a different tune, and let it slip that he is precisely what Olbermann Watch has been claiming for years [mp3 audio]:

Krazy Keith the Liberal. The Olbypologists have denied it, Monkeymann himself has contested it, but now the truth is out. One of the most important goals of this site, since the day it was inaugurated, was to strip away the phony facade of Citizen Keith the Impartial Journalist, and expose the real facade of Olbermahn the Liberal Hack. Now that KO himself has admitted his biases, that goal has been achieved.
Of course, the Olbypologists will still try to dispute Olbermoronn's words, and seek to rationalize and justify and argue away their hero's own admission. But there should be one point on which all, clear-thinkers as well as Olbyloons, can agree, one comment from Keith himself that no one can argue with:

OlbyLoon speak: But but he was just saying he was a liberal insofar as child labor laws are concerned! It's those evil conservatives who are into globalisation and exploiting children! Whoops...
Oh please. Just because he says he is a liberal, does not mean that his news analysis is biased. Also, if you play the audio in context, you'll realize that his meaning is that he is viewed as a liberal by those, like you, he seek to turn him into a one-dimensional character. He was speaking directly to you guys in that one sentence.
It's like saying that he really believes that "he sucks" simply because he said it in your second audio clip.
"Just because he says he is a liberal, does not mean that his news analysis is biased."
No, it's the nightly "balance" of his shows, or the lack thereof that PROVES he's a leftist.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, grow up people.
No it's Olbermann who ought to 'fess up. Oh wait, he did that (finally) this afternoon. listen and weep Olbyloons, your idol is no fair and impartial journalist, he's a biased HACK!
Olbermann's blog has a preview of his Special Comment tonight.....attacking the intelligence of The Secretary of State!
"On the Sunday Morning Interview Show of Broken-Record, on Fox, Dr. Condoleezza Rice spoke a paragraph, which if it had been included in a remedial history paper at the weakest high school in the nation, would've gotten the writer an "F" - maybe an expulsion.
"If Congress were now to revise the Iraq authorization, she said, out loud, with an adult present, quote:
"…It would be like saying that after Adolf Hitler was overthrown, we needed to change then, the resolution that allowed the United States to do that, so that we could deal with creating a stable environment in Europe after he was overthrown."
"The Secretary's resume reads that she has a Masters' Degree and a Ph.D in Political Science. The interviewer should have demanded to see it, on the spot."
###
Oh yeah...I can't wait to hear the intelligent historical analysis Olbermann will provide that refutes The Secretary's correct analogy....
It should make for a lot of posts tomorrow!

Mr. Sparling spoke at a smaller rally held earlier in the day at the United States Navy Memorial, and voiced his support for the administration’s policies in Iraq. Later, as antiwar protesters passed where he and his group were standing, words were exchanged and one of the antiwar protestors spit at the ground near Mr. Sparling; he spit back." NYT 1/28/07

"biased hack"?
Are you talking about Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity?
Oh you want us all to think that a commentator who criticizes Bush is a biased hack? Well that is easy to accept. I hope to god Mr Olbermann is biased against this president. At least we would have one guy to counter the handfuls of hacks at Fox Noise and dozens of talk radio hacks who excuse and defend this president no matter how big of an idiot he is.
You bet Keith is biased. Why the hell do you think he such a huge American hero?
Thank god for Keith Olbermann and for fools like Brandon who hate him. As long as a--holes like you hate him we know he must be doing something right!
Limbaugh and Hannity are commentators. Olbermann professes to be an "unbiased journalist". Now we here at Olbermannwatch know that your little Hero Olby is anything but unbiased, just as we know he's no journalist. See, real journalists leave the studio for something other than baseball spring training. But not your man Olbermann, nope, tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, wars, he remains glued in the studio, afraid to go out and actually have to report for a living. It's so sad that the Olbyloons don't know the difference between a commentator (Limbaugh, Hannity) and a newsman but how can we really blame them for their total ignorance? They believe what Olby tells them. Oh wait, today Olby told us that he is a LIBERAL but for some reason, they still want us to believe what he said the day before, about how he's not biased and how if the Dems were in power (and last check, they controlled both houses of Congress), he would criticize them. Perhaps we here at Owatch should institute a countdown "clock" until Olbermann criticizes a Dem or says anything that is less than fawning about one. I suspect it would be a very long wait. And that's what makes Keith a partisan hack. And "huge" American hero. I guess you have a point. He was allegedly born in this country so that would make him an American citizen. And he is as fat as Al Gore so that does make him "huge", but "hero"? Get a hold of yourself Olbyloon, 99 out of 100 people on the street have no idea who the hell he is and that 100th person would identify him as someone ESPN fired years ago.
"At least we would have one guy to counter the handfuls of hacks at Fox Noise and dozens of talk radio hacks who excuse and defend this president no matter how big of an idiot he is."
I wanted to stop and present this classic example out of the Olbyloon playbook. When confronted directly with evidence of Olbermann's hackdom and bias, immediately counter with the, "But Fox does" argument. Completely discount the point that this site is called Olbermannwatch and try to turn it into Foxwatch to somehow make your point that it's okay for Olbermann to be biased if there is a perception that there are those on Fox News who are biased. Totally ignore the fact that Fox clearly labels their opinion shows as opinion shows and that MSNBC and Olbermann are still trying to peddle Countdown as a "news" show and Olbermann as a journalist. It's tactics like this that make the Olbyloons so much fun to make fun of. They're nothing if not predictable.
I think Limbaugh and Hannity will gladly tell you they are conservative Republicans.....and Keith? We don't HATE...it is not emotional...please have the courage to accept and believe the truth when it is presented!
The de-evolution of an olbyloon!
Olbyhater- Keith is a liberal hack
Olbloon-No he's not. He is a journalist of the Edward Murrow mold.
Olbyhater- Then why does he attack only republicans?
Olbloon- Maybe he's liberal, but he speaks the truth!
Olbyhater- But he's biased to the left though on ALL policy
Olbloon- Yeah but Fox News is biased to the right!
Olbyhater- But at least FoxNews present both sides
Olbloon- Bush lied! Bush sucks. Ahhhhhhhh
The loons are pathetic!
Go Keith.. keep pissing off all the rightwingers. You are one of the few brave enough to speak out to the ignorance that has become the modern day Republic party. I am afraid that The Bush crime family will make an attempt on Keith's life soon. The best defense is a good offense.
"Attempt on Keith's life"? Why in the world would they waste their time on someone who can't even put together a solid week of coming in SECOND to O'Reilly? I know we make great sport of Olbermann's lies and biases here but the truth is that he doesn't matter very much outside the liberal blogosphere as his ratings indicate.
I think it far more likely that a disgruntled ex-girlfriend will attempt to knock Keith off one day. Maybe switch his Viagra with Arsenic or something.
"I am afraid that The Bush crime family will make an attempt on Keith's life soon."
I hope they break his kneecaps first.
Olby isn't worth the effort. Besides, he's good for so many laughs. Why spoil the joke?
Finally! a newsman here to combat the conservative bias in the news
My guess is on tonight's special commentary, KO will not refer to this:
"Saddam Hussein's Iraq reminds us of what we learned in the 20th century [any guesses as to what this is referring to?] and warns us of what we must know about the 21st. In this century, we learned through harsh experience that the only answer to aggression and illegal behavior is firmness, determination, and when necessary action.
In the next century, the community of nations may see more and more the very kind of threat Iraq poses now a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction ready to use them or provide them to terrorists, drug traffickers or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed.
If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity, even in the face of a clear message from the United Nations Security Council and clear evidence of a weapons of mass destruction program.
William Jefferson Clinton, February 17, 1998
Brandon talk: "why would they waste their time on someone who can't even put together a solid week of coming in SECOND to O'Reilly?"
Gee Brandon, I dunno! Good question. Why would they? Maybe the answer can be found if you were to simply look in your mirror.
After all why do YOU waste your time on someone who can't even put together a solid week of coming in SECOND to O'Relly?
Anon 7:47: Did that statement mean he was for invading and occupying Iraq?
I don't think so, and I doubt if you really do either.
Uberloon has been lying for years
"I'm neutral" brings laughter and tears
Krazy Keith's word is sh-t
The orange hypocrite
He should stick to covering Miss Spears
I explained this above. He's great SPORT for us here at Owatch, an amusing little hobby some of us have on the side. I've explained what my primary opposition to Olbermann is: his extreme bias and his firm insistence he is not biased. That is, until today when he finally decided to start telling the TRUTH, yes, he's a biased, liberal hack. Case closed. Now if we can just get him to relabel his show an OPINION-FEST, I'll leave him alone.
I for one am glad and I applaud Keith for coming out, yes even if it was a slip, Keith let his true feelings come out.
All you Loons should be proud of your hero. While others duck and dodge. Olby came out and said who he was.
In fact why don't you all join me by heading over to the Black Hole Blogspot and giving Olby a round of good cheer!!!!!
Let's hope he keeps it up!!!!!
Bravo Olby! Bravo!!!!!!!
You wacky Lib you!!!!!
NOBODY'S wackier than puck!
There he goes attacking Fox News again tonight. Olberman, you are a sick f---ing fat ass joke. I would love to see O'reilly come over to your office and rip your f---ing head off and shove it up your mother's ass (for having such a loser like you). f--- YOU FRAUD!
Olbysmammy just doen't sound like he's having any fun! Whats wrong poor baby, have you had a real rough day today?
"Anon 7:47: Did that statement mean he was for invading and occupying Iraq?"
Iraq under Saddam, according to Mr. Clinton, was a threat to the US, our friends and the region, was assembling weapons of mass destruction, weapons that he would use again, needed to be confronted, and regime change needed to be undertaken.
Other than that, no problem.
But "regime change" never meant invading and occupying Iraq to Clinton.
So, now that you've declared victory, will you go home?
I may be a liberal, but O'Reilly supports Nazis, so he's worse. You BOR lovers do remember how I proved that BOR supports Nazis, because I would never make such an outrageous claim unless it was true. I am all about truth, no agendas or jealousy or any of that other sh-t people say about me. So get off my back about being a lib and start attacking BOR for being a Nazi suck up, eh kids?
Man, this site is horsesh-t..lol
I don't know Keith, you're the one flashing the Heil Hitler salutes left and right, I'd say you're the one who supports Nazis and refuses to apologize for your offensive actions. Wonder how many of your fans are Jewish? Ever thought about that Nazi-Salute Boy?
Keith admitted that he's a moonbat
Politically, you know where he's at
"Unbiased" he said
His viewers misled
"I'm a liberal", the words that he shat
I'd like to extend my condolensces to the Olbermann Army (of one) here that Cheney was NOT killed today.
Sorry guys, I know you're disappointed.
O'Reilly had Chuck Shumer on his show last night. When was the last time Olbyloon had a Republican Representative or Senator on his train-wreck of a show?
Olby's a narcist, pure and simple. He dumps on O'Reilly for the exact same things KO is guilty of.
As you regular watchers of Meltdown know, Krazy Keith and Zsa Zsa Huffington are completely infatuated with each other. Keith has her on as a regular guest on his show where they parrot each others political views. Here are some posts today on Krazy Keith's favorite website, Huffington Post, regarding the failed attempt on Cheney's life:
“Geoman 77” (if that’s his real name) opines, “Cheney's spokeswoman said he was fine. F**k.”
“ResistanceIsFutile” gets right to the point: “S**t!”
“Fantanfanny” shows some carefully calibrated outrage: “So Cheney is personally responsible for the deaths of 14 innocent people...and then he waddles off to lunch!! What a piece of s**t!”
“Irual” shows his/her/its outrage by using a lot of exclamation points: “To (sic) bad they missed!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“TBD” shows the kind of plucky optimism that made America great: “Better luck next time!”
“Pakiman47” waxes wistful: “What a different world we would be living in today if they had succeeded.”
“Ncjohn” hears history’s echo: “In 1944 Claus von Stauffenberg's bomb unfortunately missed Hitler. I see the parallel and the inherent risk. This is to that what 9/11 was to the burning of the Reichstag. I am waiting for this effort to obliterate Cheney to be linked to Iran just like 9/11 was purposefully linked to Iraq by the ghouls who control our country.”
“Jazzman” sees the same parallel: “Isn't this the moral dilemma that Deitrich Bonheoffer found himself in when he chose to join a plot to assasinate (sic) Hitler. If we know that Cheney is plotting to light up the entire Middle East region by instigating an attack on Iran, if we know he is lying to do so, if we know that he is launching these wars to line the pockets of his corporate friends, and establish hegemony around the globe, if we know that he intends to hijack civil liberties and destroy constitutional government in this country, should we cheer if someone could stop him before hand?”
OK, Keith, let's see if Zsa Zsa Huffington makes your WPITW list, like Cindy Sheehan did said she dreamed she could to go back in time and murder the President . . . oh, wait, Sheehan never made your WPITW list for that or anything else.
If you loons wonder why no one takes Olbermann seriously, it is because everyone knows he is a propagandist. Olbermann will never criticize anyone who allows cheerleading for the deaths of our political leaders on her website as long as her poltical views coincide with what Olbermann thinks. Markos to his credit has cleaned up the rhetoric of the loonies on his site
Matt.. I know it is sad... however him dying of a heart attack would be nicer since no innocents would be hurt.
Does anyone think that Keith will mention the numerous posts at his favorite website (HuffingtonPost) that are actively rooting for Cheney's assasination?
More of the same at DU (Democratic Underground), where there's a special clubhouse just for Keith's over-the-hill, dried-up middle-aged female fans. You know, the kind of women he avoids having anything to do with off-air. Keith only likes them young and right out of college. The bitter DU broads haven't been in college (if they ever attended at all) in at least 25-35 years.
Whilst for you O'lielly, you deserve nothing less than being drawn and quartered.
"I've explained what my primary opposition to Olbermann is: his extreme bias and his firm insistence he is not biased."
oh yeah, and...
"I don't know Keith, you're the one flashing the Heil Hitler salutes left and right."
oh yeah, and what about...
"Keith only likes them young and right out of college."
Brandon, it's obvious that your bitter hatred of Keith Olbermann and anyone who might agree with him on any topic is deep seated and fueled by the fact that you are a myopic conservative Faux News fan. The truth is Olbermann, Hannity, and Limbaugh all give opinions based on politically charged news events...The difference is Olbermann's views are based on objectivity while Hannity and Limbaugh's are based on selectivity. The difference between you and I? You prefer the latter while I prefer the former...Oh and you are a transparent, ill-informed, circular-arguing idiot who's own quotes reflect your inner conflict. But try to have a great week anyway, and be sure to WatchOlbermann tonight since you love OlbermannWatch so much!
Selectivity? You mean like's Olbermann's nightly broadcasts? While Hannity and Limbaugh have OPINION shows, Olbermann presents his little program as a "news show". Yet he consistently avoids covering any news stories which might be negative to the liberals.He refuses to book anyone on his show who offers up an opinion counter to the liberal-talking points. He knows what his fan base is and he caters to it but until yesterday, steadfastly maintained that he was not a liberal. You might LIKE Olbermann but it is clear that what he presents is NOT a newscast. It's an opinion-fest. Now that he's finally admitted he's a L-I-B-E-R-A-L, maybe he'll finally get around to labeling his show as "opinion" instead of "news".
Is this your opinion or are you being factual like Keith?

Admitted he is a liberal? Are you stupid? He is proud to be liberal.
Now if you watched 60 Minutes last Sunday as Billo asked you to you would have seen him deny he was a Republican. Now that is lying like a dog.
