Keith Olbermann's Top Ten Lies of 2007

It's time for our annual list of the worst, most egregious, most outrageous lies from the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann. It's the toughest job of the year: narrowing the list down to just ten. There is so much to choose from! Be that as it may, the staff of Olbermann Watch has caucused and the votes have been cast. Here are Keith Olbermann's Top Ten Lies of 2007:

Bathtub Boy

#10 - Keith Olbermann just can't help itself when it comes to Fox News. It's Extreme Olby: Envy Edition as hardly a day goes by without some attack on a news channel that is actually successful. The usual tactic is to claim something on Fox was untrue or a lie, when it wasn't. Or another favorite: make a sweeping claim that you know is untrue, because it appeals to your blue blog base. But the #10 winner uses a more blatant technique: just make up something about Fox, broadcast it as if it were the truth, and never correct the record.

#9 - Olbermahn's diseased loathing for anyone to the right of Fidel Castro--like his hatred of Fox--regularly sends KO into fits of fantasy, where facts and truth are dispensible annoyances. So he'll, say, invent totally fictitious statistics to slander the American Enterprise Institute. Just as he will misstate a whole fistful of facts when it suits his purposes. This syndrome also explains the lunatic statement that comes in at #9 in the countdown: "Mister" Bush is the first President ever to fire US attorneys.

#8 - When Monkeymann gets worked up about something, the truth just isn't good enough. It's much more effective when Olby himself can create a phony quote and use that to make his dishonest points. You know, like when he spent an entire segment berating Rudy for something he never said? In our #8 entry, note how Herr Olbermann pulls that same trick: to "prove" a point he cites a Patrick Fitzgerald statement that turns out to be, well, imaginary.

Bathtub Boy

#7 - You know that since we are on the threshhold of O'Reilly attack #400, there had to be some doozies in 2007. There are too many Olbermann Lies about Bill O'Reilly to detail without running out of space. We've selected this and this as our representative examples for #7.

#6 - Republicans beware. Edward R Olbermann will cover up for Hillary and spike stories that paint her in a bad light. But if you have an (R) after your name the Hsu is on the other foot. Bathtub Boy will run endless scandal stories, and if the blue blogs don't give him enough ammunition, then he can cook up Another Olbermann Lie or two. Governor Gibbons (R) learned how truthful Olby's reports are: not very. So it is that lie #6 in our countdown finds Mr Merkle berating Mitt Romney for something that--all together now--Romney never said! Yes, another phony, doctored quote from Olbermoronn.

#5 - As quickly as Herr Olbermann will rush to attack other broadcasters, he is oh-so-careful not to upset his corporate masters at A-Mess-NBC. He'll broadcast flat-out fabrications, like claiming Rudy Giuliani's Presidential campaign is being run by--get ready for this--Fox's Roger Ailes. He'll even lie about the contents of a competitor's blog. But our #5 entry shows Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann at his most desperate. So eager was he to protect a possible NBC hire (Rosie O'Donnell) he doctored her words (sound familiar?) to claim she never compared US troops to terrorists. Then he blamed "Fox Noise"--another lie to protect his own sorry butt, since the people who accused Rosie of the troops/terrorism comparison were Joe Scarborough, Chris Matthews, and Howard Fineman--not on Fox, but on MSNBC!

Bathtub Boy

#4 - More lies about Fox News. We could do a top ten list every month the way Oralmann spews them. Whether it's a smear of Chris Wallace, or a slander of Brit Hume, the one thing you can trust about Monkeymann's attacks is that you cannot trust Monkeymann's attacks. That's what made this #4: Keith Olbermann contructs an ostentatious salvo at Fox over a leak. And guess what? Every single statement he made about Fox News was false. Untrue. An elaborate edifice of lies.

#3 - When Oralmann gets a bee in his bonnet, there is nothing that will stand in the way of OlbySpin. So he will pretend Richard Armitage never existed and assert that Karl Rove was an "original leaker" of Valerie Plame. To attack GWB, he'll invent a nonexistent checklist of rules for Presidential pardons. But his blatant dishonesty about waterboarding is our #3 lie. Olby's duplicity about Daniel Levin was so shamelessly barefaced that even the fawning mainstream media called him on it, something that gave John Gibson no end of pleasure.

#2 - Did you know that Keith Olbermann doesn't indulge in personal attacks? Why no, he's above all that. Sure, tell that to Liz Claman. In #2 of our countdown, observe how Fat Ass, to fuel yet another error-ridden critique of GWB, is willing to smear two writers: ridicule their professions, lie about their success... There can be no doubt that Keith Olbermann is The Model of a Liar.

And finally, here it is, the #1 Keith Olbermann lie of 2007. In fact it bids fair to be the greatest lie of his sorry career: "I'm not politically biased."


Untruer words were never spoken.

Happy New Year from Olbermann Watch!

Merry Christmas from Olbermann Watch

Great Moments in Olbypocrisy: #175

Yet another in our continuing series of the hypocrisy and lies of Keith Olbermann.

Dec 1 2006: Keith Olbermann attacks (who else?) Bill O'Reilly. Based on a smear from Hillary Clinton's Media Matters, Oralmann states:

I hate to blow my own horn, Bill-O said to a guest, like that was true, but I don't know whether you were watching the Factor on the night that Saddam's statue fell, but what I said on the air, hey, look at these guys looting the armories. As soon as I saw that, I went holy you know what, there's no plan to institute marshal law and to take step by step reconstruction of this country. He didn't say anything like that. That was April 9th, 2003. What you did included, attacks on the losers of the war, like Howard Dean, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, al-Jazeera, the Russians, the French, the Germans, hysterical Hollywood celebrities, CNN, CBS, and ABC, and when that putz Dick Morris said that this would all mean the death of network news, you agreed with him. Holy you know what, Bill-O, you're a holy you know what liar.

Dec 14 2007: Keith Olbermann appears for a blue-dress interview with Bill Moyers on PBS. The ever-humble Keith notes how prescient he was on May 1 2003, the day of the "Mission Accomplished" speech:

I'm on the air with Chris Matthews on that day with miss-- mission accomplished on May 1st in 2003. And I-- and he's talking about this as George Bush's moment in history and this. And I said, "Don't you think that him wearing a flight suit's going to be a little bit of a problem during the election cam-- "No.

Edward R Olbermann, who saw what nobody else did, and saw it four years ago. Except, well, he didn't. Newsbusters dug out the transcript of that appearance with Chris Matthews, and Krazy Keith said nothing of the kind!

Holy you-know-what, Keith. You're a holy you-know-what liar!

PS: The fact that the attack against O'Reilly proved to be a sleazy irresponsible smear just turns the irony dial to 11.

When Today left Ms Clinton a heap,

Keith stayed home for the day,
In his bathtub of bubbles to steep.

Keith Olbermann Is a Sleazy Hypocrite: The Smoking Gun!

Great Moments in Olbypocrisy: #174

They don't come much better, or more arrogantly blatant, than this:

October 18: Keith Olbermann makes Sean Hannity (an opinion commentator) "worst person". His crime? He interviewed Rudy Giuliani but did not disclose that he once introduced him at a fund-raiser. Oralmann proclaimed this an affront to ethics and bellowed: Hannity is a "fund-raising meat puppet".

Back on August 6: Olbermann Watch breaks its exclusive report: Krazy Keith violates NBC standards. Olby contributes to and helps raise money for a rabidly partisan political organization: Daily Kos.

August 7: Olbermann Watch report is picked up by other media, including John Gibson.

August 8: Monkeymann, incensed at Gibson for exposing him, replies with another attack, in the process admitting the truth of the Olbermann Watch report: he did contribute to, and help raise money for, Kos.

Finally, December 15: Olby does yet another interview with Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos. And, just like all the other interviews, Keith Olbermann (who claims to be a "journalist") does not mention, allude to, or disclose the fact that he raised money for, and contributed to, the Daily Kos.

And it's all caught on tape:

Keith Olbermann: Worst Journalist, and the Biggest Hypocrite, in the World!
