"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
Tonight we break from our usual format to explore a specific subject: the tangled web of connections, blue blogs, and undisclosed sources that combine to produce a Klassic Keith attack. It's almost like an investigation into money laundering, since the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann will stop at nothing to hide his tracks. But first, a rundown of the rest of tonight's bilge from the discredited sports guy.
UPDATE (RCox): Transcript and Video
First Keith raised the possibility that the President knew how Tillman died days after it happened. His guest (deep blue Tod Bowers) flat out said Bush knew. In an egregiously corrupt bit of OlbySpin, Keith had cut something out of the breaking news report from AP:
White House spokesman Blain Rethmeier said Friday that a review of records turned up no indication that the president had received McChrystal's warning.
Instead of reporting the whole story, KO and his partisan guest both speculated that Bush had to know, without ever revealing that the records show otherwise. "Journalism" on OlbyPlanet. Then scandal, scandal, and...oh yes...scandal. Karl Rove. Walter Reed. The far-left "Veterans for America" described as a "veterans advocacy group". Olby said the entire administration is "politically corrupted" and nothing is as important as "the Democratic Congress". Lefty Alter slobbered in agreement.
Next, attacking Giuliani: he endorsed Kerik knowing that there were allegations that Kerik may have had mob ties. Neither Giuliani nor a supporter were invited to respond to the regurgitated NBC report or to Olby's attacks. Oddball included O'Reilly attack #171
#3 was an all-out attack on Fox, made necessary by the agreement of the Black Caucus to cosponsor a pair of debates with Fox. This must be stopped! The Blue Blog Source appears to be TVNewser, but as we shall demonstrate below, that's just a blind. Rachel Maddow of Err America was there to join Fat Ass in smearing FNC while warning Democrats to boycott Fox, repeating at least one lie from MyDD. The host of Meltdown compulsively used the phrase "Fox Noise" over and over, because every time he says it, you know, it just gets funnier!
Rounding out the longest hour in all of television: KO attacked John Boehner for mispronouncing "Tuskegee". This is the same KO who mispronounced Boehner's name! Of course he didn't mention that. After the usual celebrity crap, and before those hilarious internet videos (with attack #172), the Media Matters Minute slimed Michael Savage (Blue Blog Source: Media Matters) and Glenn Beck (Blue Blog Source: Media Matters). The latter was for his criticisms of Hillary's voice ("it makes me want to kill myself"); Rev Olbermahn gestured encouragement for Beck's suicide.
Now to the subject at hand: Krazy Keith's latest attack on Fox: Olby's dogged investigative reporting and diligent sleuthing turning up yet another indictment of one of his eeevil enemies. But on OlbyPlanet nothing is as it seems.
We've been exposing Herr Olbermann's compulsive lifting from blue blogs for months. Because Keith doesn't like that sort of publicity (it militates against his claims to be "nonpartisan") he sometimes takes extraordinary steps to disguise his sources. So here's the scenario:
This poll was released on Thursday, and within hours it was being attacked on one of the bluest of blue blogs: MyDD. This particular publication has a documented history of lying about Fox, among other things, but it also sucks up to Olby, so it's no surprise that Olbermoronn would hang out there and swallow every word as gospel.
MyDD's objections to the Opinion Dynamics polls are not very specific. All they come up with is that sometimes Fox will "stick in a ridiculously loaded question". No examples are provided, but remember: Olbermann Watch had just criticized Monkeymann for ignoring the poll. So to Krazy Keith, the MyDD article is like finding a wallet on the street. If he looks hard enough, he'll come up with something he can use to try to discredit the poll.
Olbermahn, or one of his crack staff--maybe even The Laughing Stagehand--pore over the raw data and think they've hit paydirt. They're ready to run with it, but there's a catch. The footprints are going to lead right back to a hyperpartisan, dishonest blog with connections to moveon.org. So it's time to muddy the waters a bit.
"Man on Fan" Olbermann, or one of his Seacaucus toadies, looks for a compliant water-carrier, and they don't have to look very far. At 1:17 today, TVNewser suddenly publishes an article about the questions in the Fox poll. A subject that, to our knowledge, Mr Stelter has never before addressed in his "blog". TVNewser headlines: "Interesting Poll Questions", and goes on to credit "an emailer" for bringing this to his attention. The "emailer" (guess who?) bloviates about how inappropriate the questions are.
Now Olby wants it clear that while he may be picking up something from that "respected" TV news blog, he won't be a suspect in providing it to TVNewser in the first place. Here the Countdown blog comes into play. At 3:29 The News Hole does a piece on the "biased" questions in the Fox poll, and is careful to include links to suggest that the story came from somewhere else. The links go to where? MyDD? The desk of Keith Olbermann? No. They go to TVNewser. Twice.
So a story that began in a discredited blue blog goes to A-Mess-NBC and Olbermahn, they reverse leak it to another blog under strict conditions of anonymity, TVNewser obediently runs it, then Countdown picks it up from them as if they had no hand in it whatsoever. And the involvement of MyDD and the moveon crowd has been successfully obfuscated. Well, in this case, not exactly "successfully".
Quiescent canines: We don't have to tell you that, for eight days, Edward R Olbermann has spiked any news--even a passing mention--of the hostage crisis that has 15 coalition soldiers kidnapped and held hostage by Iran. We leave it up to you to determine why Keith is so desperate to cover for the mullahs in Tehran. And we remind you that while he has railed about the importance of the Geneva Convention at least a dozen times, now that there's an actual, living, breathing violation of its terms happening on the world stage, all of a sudden he says nothing. Geneva Conventions? What Geneva Conventions? Lots of scandal talk tonight, but our favorite slovenly political hack spiked this news completely. Finally, it's time for our weekly measure of Keith Olbermann's masculinity. Over the past week Olbermann has attacked Fox, CNN, and Limbaugh/right-wing pundits thirteen times; Olby has criticized MSNBC: zero times. His primary source (Media Matters) criticized MSNBC seven times. That makes this week's Olbermann Manhood Quotient: -26 [limp].
Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's name has cratered at #27,358 at amazon.com, while "Culture Warrior" is #241. (It's that 2-for-$25 sale!) The OlbyTome is #3,630 at Barnes & Noble; O'Reilly's book is #1,435 there, and is one of the top five books of 2006 per Publishers Weekly. Thursday's Hour of Spin sunk like a rock, third place overall and a humiliating fourth place in the critical, beloved, all-important, coveted "key demo". Uh oh, looks like we need another Special Education Komment. Get those writers to work! Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 4 [GUARDED]
UPDATE (RCox): Transcript and Video
Read the transcript to the Friday show
Keith interviews Rachel Maddow
#27,358 at amazon.com and it's even available on this blog.....ha
Thanks for the PI work on the source of the poll info and how it went from being on a discredited partisan website to a "reputable" (only in Olby's brain) "news" website.
NICE TO SEE THIS BUSY BLOG GETTING SO MUCH TRAFFIC..
It's pretty obvious, even to the brain dead, that this site is funded by FOX NOISE.....
Michael Savage thinks that the 9/11 attacks "was God speaking". Well, listen up, Savage:
MICHAEL ALAN WIENER (your rejected birth name).
That needed to be said. Some people may doubt, but that was something divine. Michael Savage should not say such things. Bad things happen to "good" people sometimes. Savage would not know. He is a bad person. Ha ha ha.
Nice recap Johnnny...KO is becoming irrelevant.
If Fox News is funding this where the hell is my paycheck????? Another Olbyloon lie exposed.
I feel bad that you guys at Olby loon watch have to watch his drivel every night.
He's like a broken record.
Keith Olbermann is becoming more blatant in his lying. We should soon find a more hazy target next time for a website ---
I'm not gonna swear. I'm not gonna use capital letters. And I'm not going to use exclaimation points.
I will in a calm concise post show who you olbyloon sycophants always stick up for.
Defend this olbyphants. This fuc!@ng BUFFOON actually took offense because Fox "Noise" (oh keith, you're such a card) ran a poll, that in his opinion (as well as the opinion of some broad named mancow?) was taken just to make the democrat party look bad. YOU'VE GOT TO BE f---!@NG KIDDING ME!!!
Olberdickwads whole f---!@ng show, night after night, week after week, month after month, is the same f---i@!g thing. Show as so many clips as possible that try to make the Republicans look bad.
Is this hypocritical homo that out of touch that he can't possibly see this?? And he has the audacity to refer to Limbaugh as a comedian? This f---I!@G MENTALCASE CANNOT, CANNOT, C-A-N-N-O-T, believe the garbage he spews.
Tonight was the night that finally did it for me. This pissant has to be taken to task. What can be done to get this cretin off the air. He's a f---ing joke!!!
So much for my vows at the beginning of this post. Keith SUCKS!!
Eddie Boston: Stop taking politics seriously. It is not really worth getting upset over when you get down to it. Keith Olbermann has a four year long contract, so you better get used to it.
Remember, that is Obama Watch Us Bicker Formerly in Technicolor. Good weekend, all :-)
Great recap, Johnny, all it needed was a little James Bond music in the background.
And how many informal polls has MSNBC put up on their websites with topics such as "should Bush be impeached"? Should Donald Rumsfeld be fired, etc? Oh, there was no political bias in those questions at all was there?
Keith is soo into his groove with his shtick he is now teasing the WPITW segment with Conservative vs. Conservative. All pretenses of unbiased news coverage is long dead on Countdown.
paychecks will be passed out at the next Vast Rigth Wing Conspiracy mixer.
where is everybody?
Notice the Kult of eith is silent today. Johnny Dollar continues to expose Ulbermahn's Far Left agenda.
Tonight's episode was a real classic. Keith ran a full segment attacking the "bias" at "Fox Noise", and his featured guest was a person from Air America. Keith then goes on to say that "Fox Noise" has no business hosting Presidential Debates because they have a political bias. This while during Keith's show, MSNBC is running promos for their own Presidential Debates.
President Bush visits soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital. He apologizes for the conditions there and promises to make things right. And Keith bashes him for it.
Well I just got home and I'd like to say Olby WILL be talking about the hostage crisis on Monday, Tuesday at the latest.
I see O'Reilly had Anti-War Activist Col. Ann Wright (Ret.) on and she wouldn't answer any questions. Just spewing stuff and O'Reilly cut her mike with about :30 to go.
So look for Keith to have her on. ( Bash Bush, Bash Republicans, Bash The Troops, Bash Fox News, Bash O'Reilly.) WOW! We could even get a krazy komment out of this.
The clip is over at Fox News, The last :30 seconds is pretty funny. O'Reilly is pretty calm but making a point, and Col. Wright was there with her mike cut off still yapping.
"Craigs: Thanks for backing me up."
No Problem at all.
"My mistake was One thing is perfectly clear. The Olbermann haters are every bit as biased as he is. In short, they ARE him!"
No Doubt. I think Olbermann is quite biased but it seems many on this site are just fine with Johnny Dollar spinning right and smearing himself

This was the last thread carried over from March 29th. It got to be so late that I forgot to note this.
Just roll over, Mike. Say it. Olby is a liar. A rose is a rose and a lie is a lie. Leaving out facts is a form of lying. Olby spikes stories if they make him look like the biased "journalist" that he is. Besides the recent Iran story, there is also the Gitmo case he covered and covered, until the Supreme Court found no violation of the Constitution.
Posted by: Sharon at March 31, 2007 1:14 AM
Now, this is one of his responses:
That doesn't mean I have to agree with the Supreme court does it? It only means I have to accept it.
AM I CRAZY OR DID MIKE ANSWER AS IF HE WERE OLBERMANN?
Below is a recap of the point of contention:
Sharon: "The point is that you refuse to admit that Olbermann spiked the story because he has his own agenda"
I've never denied Olbermann has an agenda. However, I can't really see how spiking this particular story might have served that agenda?
Posted by: Mike at March 31, 2007 12:07 AM
So what is Olbermann's agenda?
Posted by: Cecelia at March 31, 2007 12:25 AM
Ceceila and Janet pressured him into answering and it got ugly. I don't believe there ever was an answer.
If Fox News is funding this where the hell is my paycheck????? Another Olbyloon lie exposed.

So you'r admitting you are Johnny $?
20 POSTS! WHAT A BUSY SITE! HA...HA...
Everyone was posting on the previous day.
Anon 7:53 observes....."20 POSTS! WHAT A BUSY SITE! HA...HA... "
Well, look over to TheNewsHole and find only on average 5-10 postings/topic....Keith Olbermann's very own blog barely gets hits....including the current discussion:
http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/31/107908.aspx
Zero, nada, as of 8:16 EDST
Get a life Anon. If you like Keith, try to defend his silly behavior instead of the usual attack on OW.
Do you have a cogent comment on johnny$'s critique?
Hey cee,
It's funny that there's no post on olby's site. I left a post last night asking why they haven't mentioned squat about the hostage situation, when every other "news" channel leads with it. Don't tell me they didn't post it? They wouldn't do..... that...... would they? The sites just as hypocritcal as the moron it's about
eddie...
I succesfully posted one Olbermann-criticial item on that site....the replys from the few Olbermann apologists visiting the site were pathetic and typical of what I got here at OW from the same ilk....Either I am a stupid, Kool-Aid drinking neocon or a "FOX NOISE" true believer....Both of which I am not....
The straw men these radical leftists try to use simply shows how weak their arguments have become....it makes for humorous entertainment but lacks the challenge I look for in discussing the issues at hand.....a la my lack of posting here as of late.
The human and planet destroyer
The description of Olby's employer
War profits they'll rake
Much pollution they'll make
As Olby jerks off like a voyeur
Ceceila and Janet pressured him into answering and it got ugly. I don't believe there ever was an answer.
Posted by: Sharon at March 31, 2007 7:45 AM
Sharon, there was never an answer to the original question as to Mike's reasoning for characterizing the Iran story as being "nonpolitical" (he later framed it an attempt to embarrass the U.S. and Britain-- ironic since that action would be an inherently POLITICAL manuever....) or answered why he felt Countdown didn't cover "non-political" stories when they have.
Mike just makes assertions and then whines that he's being put into an unfair position or makes specious claims of "bias"?... when asked questions about those asserrtions.

Well, it's good to see you back, Cee! However, you may need to rethink your attitude.
It should be delightful to you to be automatically labeled a Fox News junkie/groupie by someone who characterizes themselves as being independent-minded while making half-baked stereotypical assumptions and using Olbermann's lingo of "Fox Noise".... :D
>>Tancredo to announce presidential bid
By JENNIFER TALHELM, Associated Press Writer Fri Mar 30, 7:34 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Colorado Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo, an outspoken opponent of illegal immigration, will announce his bid for president on Monday. Tancredo will kick off campaign with an announcement in Iowa, where political caucuses start whose the presidential nominating season, an official close to the congressman said.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
More "Real Conservatives" stepping up to highlight the failure and desperation of the Repukes.
AWHWWWW!!
Rudy looks soooooo cute in his RINO suit.
I didn't watch Meltdown last night because I wanted to get an update about the Iran hostage situation. Otherwise, I'd be bashing on Olby as usual. Wait - I forgot to post his Thursday ratings. That grip on second place has always been fleeting, contrary to the MSM lies.

That's 4 times the amount of posts in one day the WOW got in ,what, 3 weeks? Still sitting on that big number of 4 and 2 were just e-mails from a loon that were posted by the "webmaster.'
Johnny,
That progression whereby the Countdown folks laundered the origin of the assertions against the Fox News poll is fascinating!
JUST MORE KEITH STALKING BY THE Bush Supporters SUFFERING FROM "FOX DEMENTIA."
I feel sorry for you guys having to listen to this guys same bullsh-t night arter night. He spouts one viewpoint, has the same choir echoing his bullsh-t and never has any opposing views to counteract his same old bullsh-t. Last night he had an airhead america host on to echo his views of fox being biased. How absurd can you get. Olbermann is a pathetic human being who has no clue on he he comes across to people who see him for what he really is.
JUST MORE KEITH STALKING BY THE Bush Supporters SUFFERING FROM "FOX DEMENTIA."
Posted by: at March 31, 2007 11:31 AM
What? No reference to "neo-cons" in that string of mindless buzzwords?
You're slipping...
Olbermann and Rachael Maddow were tsk-tsking over some sort of graphic that Fox put up while pundit Hannity doing one of his screeds.
Now we've all seen Countdown juxtapose Pres, Bush's head with a groundhog. We've seen Countdown, during stories about terrorism, show pictures of the administration with the words to the effect of "terrorists playing on our fears" at the bottom the screen.... or the logo to The Sopranos labeled with "Bush family values"...
Yes, it goes without saying that Olbermann and his "news show", as he called it, "nearly" always exempts himself from criticism when he does or has done the same thing he's condemning other media types and that other media outlet for doing... but did anyone notice last night during Oddball that VP Cheney's head was placed onto a cartoon body wearing prison garb?
"AM I CRAZY OR DID MIKE ANSWER AS IF HE WERE OLBERMANN?"
No I am sparti... er.. Olbermann
johnny you are noting but a disgusting smear merchant.
If JD is a "smear merchant", Keith Olbermann is the head of an entire smear corporation.
I watched that segment with the Air America woman about the polling questions and Fox and I must say I've never felt more incredulous in my life. Hypocrisy isn't a strong enough word for the conversation those two had. Do they think people are total idiots?
Air America
They still on?
Here's the latest from 'Zombie Nation' on Air America.
It seems that Air America stations have been flipping to ESPN sports. ESPN is owned by ABC.
Hannity's home base station is WABC.
Air America's Zombie Nation is saying it's Hannity's doing.
No guys, it's just the crappy programs you run.

I think you've almost got that correct. I AM "noting" a disgusting smear merchant. I note him and his disgusting smears five nights a week. Thanks for the compliment.
Don - Rachel Maddow's a woman?
Fans of both Air America (what little there is) and Olby are idiots. Olby and Rachel already know that. They're just playing to their base.
I AM "notHing" but a disgusting smear merchant.
There we go. put the "h" in and it does work much better. Thanks for the correction. Oh and you're a slimeball too.

This was really interesting Johnny. Do you have any proof?
I know things.
"Moving confession, craigs. Perhaps you could stop being one by not calling folks slimeball."
Oh, it seems I left the quotes off when I corrected Johnny's writing. It is there on the second post.
As for the slimeball thing I really want to fit in here, so I figured I would do that by making as many personal attacks as possible. Since Johnny Call's keith "Fat Ass" and "Monkeyman" regularly I figured I would join in the name calling.
I mean come one, calling someone Roger Ailes or Chris Wallace is really offensive
"I know things."
So you don't have any proof? I think you are lying. I think you're a liar. nice to see you hold your self to keith's Journalistic standards.
I mean come one, calling someone Roger Ailes or Chris Wallace is really offensive
Posted by: craigs at March 31, 2007 5:17 PM
True enough. If Johnny called Olbermann "Ailes" or "Wallace", I'm sure both Roger and Chris would be HIGHLY offended.
"True enough. If Johnny called Olbermann "Ailes" or "Wallace", I'm sure both Roger and Chris would be HIGHLY offended."

In Keith's case the shoe fits.
Liberals Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermahn were parroting "Fox Noise" like a couple of giggling 3-year olds (their target audience?). Funny how MSNBC can seriously claim Countdown as their "news show of record". Simply pathetic.
"In Keith's case the shoe fits."
So you think it is appropriate to call someone Ailes or Wallace? Well the rest of us decent human beings find it highly offensive.
Well Johnny, if you don't offer any evidence to your extraordinary claim, I have no choice but to brand you a liar, until you can come up with something.
I have spoken.

Tell it to Keith. He admitted to being a fatass when he apologized to Ailes the other night.
"Tell it to Keith. He admitted to being a fatass when he apologized to Ailes the other night."

If Keith says he's a fatass who is Johnny to differ....
"If Keith says he's a fatass who is Johnny to differ...."
Why he would call himself Ailes is beyond me. Some folks are just too hard on themselves.
Sorry if you all have already documented this, but I just came across it today...I wonder how long it will stay and/or if Sir Olbermann will have his page locked and sanitized.
New entry on Wikipedia for Sir Olbermann:
Allegations of bias
Although it began as a traditional, apolitical newscast, Countdown With Keith Olbermann has gradually adopted an opinion-oriented format. Overt and occasionally scathing criticism of prominent Republicans and conservatives (especially the Bush Administration and conservative commentators like Bill O'Reilly, who Olbermann routinely dubs "Worst Person In The World") has become more and more common on the show. The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz has written that Olbermann is "position[ing] his program as an increasingly liberal alternative to The O'Reilly Factor."[9] This has led the conservative media group Media Research Center (MRC) to routinely accuse Olbermann of liberal bias.[10][11] The MRC compiled the recipients on his World's Worst List and found that of the approximately 600 recipients, 174(29%) conservative figures/ideas were criticized compared to only 23(4%) liberals.[12]
In an interview with Al Franken, Olbermann noted that in 2003 after having Janeane Garofalo and Franken on his show, his network NBC Vice President had questioned him on inviting liberals on consecutive nights. [13]
Keith Olbermann has responded to accusations of liberal bias by saying, "I'm not a liberal, I'm an American."[14]
Why he would call himself Ailes is beyond me. Some folks are just too hard on themselves.
Posted by: craigs at March 31, 2007 6:14 PM
Because Olbermann was being accurate for once. He apologized to the guy he had been hard on.
"Because Olbermann was being accurate for once."
He was accurate in calling Ailes a fatass? Well Duh... I just don't see why he would call himself Ailes, when clearly he is better shape than fatass.

Well, Olbermann would know. In this matter we can all bow to his greater knowledge that Keith really is THE fatass.
"Well, Olbermann would know. In this matter we can all bow to his greater knowledge that Keith really is THE fatass."
Maybe you are trying to say that keith is as big a scumbag as fatass, by calling keith Ailes. But he is not. Fatass is clearly the bigger scumbag.

Yes, he is. However, I think that he is a fatass is all the self-disclosure we'll get from Keith though.
"Yes, he is. However, I think that he is a fatass is all the self-disclosure we'll get from Keith though"
So you think Keith is Ailes as well? That's my point calling someoneAiles is offensive.
You know all this talk about fatass (Ailes) has distracted me from the fact that noted Liar Johnny Dollar has not produced any evidence yet.
I'M SCARED!
I SEE Bush Supporters RANTING.
Oh, wait... it is only the Rush Limpo-wanna be's
the Sean Hannity-wanna be's,
the Billdo's wanna be's,
the Dr. Savage (LOL) wanna be's
the Glenn Beck's wanna be's
ODD... they all call themselves "Real Reagan Conservatives"
GOOD LUCK WITH RUDY THE RINO!!
So you think Keith is Ailes as well? That's my point calling someoneAiles is offensive.

Well, perhaps if Keith reads that between he and Ailes, that you think Ailes "is the bigger scumbag" he'll feel all better...

Nahh, I think he'll feel "All better" When he looks in the mirro and sees how much skinnier he is than Fatass.

When is he NOT looking in a mirror? No, Keith knows whereof he speaks. It's right behind him...

Ailes follows him around? What a weird fat ass.

Well, Weird Fatass has accused Ailes of worse.

What has Ailes accused himself of? being a scumbag in addition to being fatass.

Nope. So far you and Keith are the only self-accused fatass and slimeball, respectively.

I think she spells it "ho".

Well that's good. She's more careful than I and a bargain if you have a little crack.
But I digress. Let's talk about how fat Ailes is compared to the slim Mr. Olbermann.
> Well Johnny, if you don't offer any evidence to your extraordinary claim, I have no choice but to brand you a liar
How will I sleep at night? Some anonymous Olbypologist (who doesn't read carefully, but that's another story) is going to brand me a liar. I might even get the vapors.
"How will I sleep at night? Some anonymous Olbypologist"
That's a good question. How does a slimebag like you sleep at night?
> I'll be sitting on pins and needles waiting for Johnny's apology to Keith.
Whatever for?
