I've noticed an increasing amount of traffic to Olbermann Watch from the Media Matters for America web site. Seems we've been added to their listed of "watched" media sites.
While there I found this exchange in the comments section of a recent post on Keith Olbermann naming John Gibson a WPIW. I was particularly interested in...
...the exchange after this comment:
You guys need to go to www.olbermannwatch.com It provides more facts than you want to know. * - CaseySpring / Monday April 30, 2007 03:29:37 PM EST
The next guy says "Unfortunately, I can't access via my work firewall to see what yer yammering about. It is apparently classified as a "hate" speech site."
This got me wondering whether other folks have found Olbermann Watch blocked work or school or anything like that. Of course, the MediaMattersLoon has it wrong, Olbermann Watch would not have been classified as a "hate" site but we may well have been flagged for bad language due to the constant use of bad language by the OlbyLoons. I'm not sure what it will take to "clean up" the site to remove words being flagged by blocking software but if I hear that this is not an isolated incident I might have to take some action.

Bob: Why are you just blaming the 'Olbyloons' for "bad language"? You know perfectly well it comes from both sides equally.

Mickey, he's referring to the old bush kills, YOU and your trailer mate, Bob/patty. The classless left wing loons. Just go to puffington post to see how "classy" the left is. "were not like that" still cracks me up!

I wish Bob could incorporate a firewall into this site that would act against your relentless whining.
Kewwwwwl!

Robert:
Maybe the "hate" speech tag comes from the time you posted a KKK letter and link during the Imus firing. Not to mention the stupid digital photo of the Klan under the MS-NBC sign. Folks tend to be sensitive to hate groups like the KKK, but perhaps you did not realize this.
Cecelia: "I wish Bob could incorporate a firewall into this site to act against your relentless whining"
Lets see, according to Cecelia....my whining is 'relentless'.
Now lets characterize YOUR constant whining. How about "condescending whining"....yea...thats a good description of the kind of whining YOU do here 'relentlessly'....Cecelia!

Oh, he realized it, he just wanted to show off the new white sheets and hoods of the KOwatch staff!.. Cox was the turd from the left.
You also missed somebody criticizing the advertisement section of the website on Media Matters. As I have observed from so many mediums, you are not supposed to criticize an advertisement.
Thanks, John Gibson, you're getting dirty words taken off of Olbermann Watch!

lil mickey with the classic "but, but, but you do it too, bwaa whaa bwwaaa!"
Well, as far as I know, the Anti Defamation League has never adminished Mr. Cox for behavior displaying ourageous indifference to the sense revulsion experienced by Jews when self-procalimed tough guy Keith Olbermann flashed the Sieg Heil salute at public events. Of course, Olbermann makes no apology of such things and even jokes about it later on the Leno show. What a class act! Here's the ADL letter:
Keith Olbermann
Countdown with Keith Olbermann
MSNBC
July 28, 2006
Dear Mr. Olbermann,
We are deeply dismayed by your ongoing use of the Nazi "Sieg Heil" salute, both on your program and in public appearances -- including the recent Television Critics Association press tour -- while holding up a mask of Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly.
While we understand that your aim is to entertain your audience by taking pot shots at Mr. O'Reilly, your repeated use of the Nazi salute has resulted in many complaints from our constituents, including Holocaust survivors and their families who find the use of this gesture offensive and repugnant in any context.
The Nazi salute is more than just a remnant of history, but serves as a calling card for modern-day neo-Nazis and white supremacists. We believe that the use of gestures and imagery associated with the Nazis – even in jest – only serves to trivialize the Holocaust and denigrate the memory of the six million Jews and others who died as a result of Hitler's Final Solution.
As a respected and well-known media personality, your actions have consequences and can set a standard for others to emulate. We are especially concerned that young people viewing your program might take their cues from your free use of the "Sieg Heil" salute.
In light of these concerns, we hope that you will reconsider your use of the Nazi salute in the future.
Sincerely,
The Anti-Defamation League
I don't mind the left wing moon bats on this site using foul language. It just demonstrates how baseless and ignorant their arguments are. They must resort to childish name calling in a debate because they can't use facts or logic. Every time I destroy their Global warming fairy tale or tell them how their party is run by super rich elitist and Hollywood socialist, I can count on one of them going on a cosmic vulgarity tirade.
Hate Speech? Hate Speech? Have you guys seen Media Matters, Huffington Post, Daily KOS, MoveOn, and all the rest of the angry left wing smear sites? If those sites are allowed to get through and Olbermann Watch is being blocked, there is something fishy going on.
Clean up the language, but it will still be "A STALKING SITE."
Media Matters HuffPo are angry left wing sites?
Maybe the damage your president is doing to our troops, this country and the world doesn't make you angry...but these sites have very intelligent and informed people writing for them. NO wonder you don't like them!
Thanks, John Gibson, you're getting dirty words taken off of Olbermann Watch!

John Gibson is a f---ing tool !
A point of order - the poster at Media Matters said that he was not able to access the site which most likely means that the company he works for has installed blocking software. Most of the software blocks sites based for "seven dirty words" language and sexual references not "hate". I've heard reports of Olbermann Watch being blocked by some blocking software LONG BEFORE the Imus thing a few weeks ago but nice try anyway.
As for who is using bad language on this site. I would estimate that the split is about 98% to 2% with OlbyLoons accounting for about 98% of the naughty words posted in the comments section. The posts from me and the Olbermann Watch staff do not use such language unless we are referencing some other source, in context.
I am not sure what I can do about cleaning up 70,000 comments going back to 2004 so I suppose we will either have to ban OlbyLoons or accept them for what they are - foul-mouthed whiners.

So whoever uses 4 letter words are whiners ?
That's about as logical as most of the criticism you make of KO !

I apologize for using the g-d word yesterday, Bob. I hardly ever use profanity. I think it should be saved for very rare and special occasions, like Bill Moyers documentaries and accidentally dropping a can on your toe.
However Doug Krile as cheerful journalist/aparachik, just makes me sick.
So let me get this straight. If went to the local Library and tried to get on this site I would be denied.
But the troll at the other computer, (thanks to the A.C.L.U.) could get on and troll for children all day long.
Liberal/Democrats looking out for you and your children.
puck - I believe you are mistaken. It is the ACLU that works AGAINST government censorship. The ACLU has actively worked AGAINST libraries censoring Internet access. And as far as I know, nowhere is it legal to solicit minors, let alone courtesy of the ACLU. So thank the ACLU for being able to access this website from your library, and for keeping Rush Limbaugh's prescription-shopping as privledged doctor-patient information.

alcalde, we all know the aclu is fighting to keep porn in the libraries, it's no secret. We also know they are the first in line to defend terrorists, no secret.
I am positive I make up the 2% of the foul language on the sane thinking people side. I will tone it down a bit, but I refuse to stop calling AAP and Mike douchebags. They are just idiots.
Call me what you want Crash, it means nothing to me considering the source...and does nothing but make your side look like neanderthal flame throwers.
After all Crash, Being called an 'idiot' by an idiot would only bother...an idiot!
Average American Patriot is a faggot. censor that.
and no, i dont hate or fear homos. the "f" word is just perfect however for cowardly unamerican pussies. sorry.
Anyone who would call another American 'unamerican' because they don't like their views is by definition....unamerican.
Gee, just a week or two ago, Keith Olbermann called George Bush un-american. I think, Mike, that for once you have lurched into the truth.
Touche Johnny!
No truth to mike, just hypocrisy, day in and day out.
No substance to Jeff, just stupidity, day in and day out.
But he's funny sometimes even though he tries SO hard not to be.
You know Mike, we think the very same about you.
Look at Mediamatters and then look at this pathetic site. The former offers quotes, in context, with citations; this site is mostly ambiguous and sad...
...as are the neocons who support it...
