    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    August 19, 2007
    MSM KO Bandwagon #348: Variety

    The latest in our ongoing series of the Whitewash by the Mainstream Media of the blatant biases in Keith Olbermann's little cable tv program, Countdown, comes to us from Variety, the "bible" of the show-biz industry. Variety tells us that such biases are good! Just so long as you know, it's from the left. Fox Bad, Keith Good, Part 999.

    It took no less than 3 writers to complete the latest fawning Olbermann tribute (Cynthia Littleton, Michael Learmonth and William Triplett) which ought to tell you something about how fast and furious the spin was for the Olbymeister. At least Variety got this bit right:

    . . .during the AFL-CIO-sponsored Democratic Presidential Forum, which MSNBC carried live on Aug. 7. . .everything about the event -- the setting, the audience of union members and their families, the star moderator and the tenor of the candidates' campaign shoutin' -- seemed tailor-made to appeal to the average reader of the Huffington Post.

    And we know what the Huff Post is: a left-wing echo chamber.

    Variety also provided a context for what journalism should be and what it is in today:

    In the old days, TV news, like most mainstream journalism orgs, took pride in maintaining a non-partisan stance. Now, that attitude seems antiquated amid competitive pressures and a growing sentiment among the public that most media coverage of politics is heavily biased anyway.The rise of strident partisan voices on all-news cablers isa longtime trend that has gone into overdrive during thiselongated presidential election cycle. The polarization of the TV dial is being driven by a confluence of forces within the television industry and the body politic.

    It's the "Hey everybody is doing it so we should too" argument, followed closely by the "Keith is a ratings success!" lie:

    In the past year, MSNBC has embraced the left, at least for one hour a night, with its irreverent but clearly liberal-leaning 8 p.m. news roundup program "Countdown With Keith Olbermann." "Countdown" has been on MSNBC since April 2003, but its viewership has spiked during the past year, ever since its host began offering a semi-regular, often-fiery commentary segment in which he has inveighed against the GOP's agenda and called for the resignations of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. For the month of July, viewership of "Countdown" rose 88% year-to-year to a nightly average of 721,000 viewers, still well behind Fox News' 8 p.m. anchor "The O'Reilly Factor," which averaged 2 million viewers.

    Well at least they do acknowledge his show clearly has a leftist agenda. But once again, selective use of the ratings system and the real truth about Olbermann's ratings go unprinted. And this is the "Bible" of the entertainment industry?

    But the highlight of the article is this astonishing claim by Olbermann pal and MSNBC/NBC executive Phil Griffin:

    "You're not going to survive in cable doing a straight news-of-record broadcast," says Phil Griffin, senior veep of NBC News and the exec in charge at MSNBC. "You've got to give (more) information and analysis. ... By 8 at night, most people who tune in have a basic understanding of the news of the day."

    More information? Analysis? Is he kidding? Olbermann's show provides neither. This is a man who ignored the stock market peaks and high points but as soon as the market began a correction, suddenly took a keen interest in the stock market decline because he could blame it on Bush! And Analysis? From whom? The usual suspects like convicted felon John Dean? Then again, Griffin is the same genius who thought it would be a good idea to fire Don Imus who was a cash cow for the network and bring in Joe Scarborough whose viewership on some mornings is so low it doesn't even rate on the Nielsen scale!

    "Opinions (in the news media) can be helpful," says Al Tompkins of the Florida-based journo think tank Poynter Institute, "but only if the people giving the opinions know what they're talking about."

    And as we all know here at Olbermannwatch, Keith Olbermann doesn't have a clue of the bigger picture because unless he can lift something from Huffington Post, Daily Kos, Talking Points Memo or Media Matters he doesn't know it exists! Talk about partisan broadcasting. No wonder then that:

    according to a survey released this month by the Pew Research Center . . found that 55% of respondents believe the news media (broadly categorized as local and network TV and newspapers) are politically biased, up from 45% in 1985, while 36% of respondents believe that news organizations "hurt democracy," up from 23% in 1985.

    The Pew study went on to find that

    More than two-thirds, or 70%, of respondents who identified themselves as Republicans said they felt the news media was politically biased in its reporting, compared with 39% of Democrats. (The perception gap between the two sides was much smaller when the survey was first conducted in 1985, when 49% of GOP-ers smelled bias, compared with 43% of Dems.) Some 63% of Republicans surveyed said they felt stories and reports by the news media are "often inaccurate," compared with 43% of Democratic respondents

    And why would that be exactly? Because the liberals are happy because they know the MSM is liberally-biased just like their Hero, Keith Olbermann!

    But wait--the Olbyloons don't think that Keith is biased! Here are some reactions to the article from one of the nuttier Keith Olbermann fansites. Opines one Olbyloon

    Great article..but I still don't think Keith's a liberal, I just think he's got it right when it comes to most issues. No bs, there are not two sets of facts, right?

    Followed by

    Agreed. It's getting a little annoying hearing about Keith's liberalism. I don't see why telling it like it is is considered liberal.

    There is so much wrong with those two statements that I don't even know where to begin. But just another example of the lunatics who follow Keith Olbermann's every word and don't believe there's a hint of bias in his program!

    "I'm not politically biased" - Keith Olbermann

    "I'm a liberal" - Keith Olbermann

    Don't confuse them with stated facts Merkle. The Olbyloons belive that they are the foremost interpreters of what Olby says and what others say about him. Therefore, he's not a liberal according to them. Kinda makes you wonder what they think a liberal looks like isn't it?

    Let's see, so far today I've posted proof that the liberals love Chavez and Castro. I've posted proof that Olbermann's fans insist he's not liberal (while even Variety admits he is and his own statements reveal that to be so); and for extra-added value, I also showed the extreme obsession that one particular "fan" (short for fanatical) has in watching Olbermann's show three times a night (maybe more, that's all she'd 'fess up to). So yes, I'd say that the average Olbyloon has much to be humiliated about. Glad you noticed! Keep on reading and commenting-it makes my day to pick you lunatics off one by one.

    I've shined the light (yet again) on the insanity that is Keith Olbermann and his communist-loving fanbase. That's a clear victory for me. Oh, and one more thing? This site is called Olbermannwatch, not Brandonwatch.

    There aren't enough pages at this site for you to run to, Brandy.

    -----

    Perhaps, there are enough pages if you count the pages turned to spam.

    Do you know what a pyrrhic victory is, Brandon? I imagine not. Perhaps, you should find out before the light goes out. Unless you are a really fat boy, that may happen soon.

    LMAO ....

    Olbermann on NBC (NEW YORK TIMES)

    http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/20/arts/20arts.html?ref=arts

    "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" the highly rated cable news program, will be shown on network television on Sunday before a preseason NBC football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since Mr. Olbermann will have a regular role in NBC's football coverage once the season begins-- appearing as a co-host on the pregame show "Football Night in America" on Sundays' this weekend's appearance of his cable show will give a wider audience a look at what he has been up for the last four years. "Countdown" is rocketing right now over at MSNBC---its ratings are going through the roof," said Phil Griffin, senior vice president of NBC News. (In July Mr. Olbermann's show averaged 721,000 viewers, an increase of 88 percent over last July, according to MSNBC.) Mr. Griffin added, "The world has changed, and I think people have come in line with the smart, focused approach he has on the show" No immediate plans for additional network appearances of "Countdown" have been made, but Mr. Griffen did not rule them out. "It may be the first of several times you see Olbermann on the network," he said.

    Highly rated? Since when?

    Also, NBC originally said that Olbermann wouldn't be allowed to make political statements on the NFL broadcasts. I guess inserting Countdown in said broadcasts don't count huh? Bill O'Reilly is right-these people have jumped the shark and are giving one giant blow job to the Democratic party by inserting Countdown in the middle of the NFL broadcasts. No wonder they are peeling off viewers every day.

    Brandon, no sense in providing the links to to the Olby-lovers sites, the loons blocked and redirected your links (wow, they can work a keyboard)..I think you should continue to cut & paste their nutty ramblings (especially since they have a cowardly history of deleting themselves---just in case their TV boyfriend Keify sees) at the very least, these nut jobs are very entertaining.

    Can you imagine the Code Red that occurs when OWatch links to one of their pathetic little sites? They should be glad to get the extra traffic. It must be very lonely there with all 3 of their regular posters.

    Do not fear, I will continue to bring you the "best of" the Keith Krazies at their finest! Nothing like exposing the nut cases and whack jobs for who and what they really are!

    Actually, Brandon, I have been over to Johnny Dollars Place. Be fair. I have seen as many as 5 hits a week, some not from Cecelia;

    I've posted there once in the past year and Clucker found it. Sounds like he's as much a regular there as he is here. A true Johnny Junkie.

    A new definition for dumbass. I knew they couldn;t think for themselves.

    I called one of his sponsors yesterday that I unfortunatlely do business with. I informed them I would no longer do business with them in the future and told them why. They had a supervisor talk to me and then a manager. I was nice and told them I had nothing against them as an employee but as a company I had a big problem. They said they had no idea of what Olbyfuck was doing and that they would investigate and get back with me a two days. At first they denied they were a sponsor but then acknowledged it. I told them I wouldn't do business with a company that supported a program where the host called our President a liar, a coward and a murderer or a show that is left and allows no opposing voice. They agreed. I told them I wouldn't support a network where one of their female hosts whined about seeing Girls Gone Wild commercials on a competitors network while they showed chat logs from their To Catch A Predator where a log would say, "I want to ram my 12 inch X%^&&** up your ^&^*(S on prime time and not for their concern of children but for ratings.

    I just can't stand the fucking vulgarities and curse words like Turd and the F. King joke Olbyfuck did last year. I'm so easily offended.

    You hear liberals whining about losing rights and yet they are the very ones that would put people like me to picking cotten (if they had the balls, the will or the means). Every liberal site would ban any conservative for so much as showing support for our President let alone call them the fag luving faggots they really are. Then you have conservstive sites that let these boys shoot their mouths off. Personally, I think they let them do it so we can see how loony these boys really are. What does FNC have to gain by letting Charlie Rangel or Al Sharpton be on their shows for any other reason so people like me can laugh at their silly dumb ass.
