"I try to do a different show every night" Keith Olbermann LOL
Everyone of his shows is a carbon copy of the previous show. Horrible interview by Kurtz. Kurtz is a national disgrace. He should be ashamed of himself.

I love that Olbermann says he is "smart" enough to know when to be non-partisan. Then he admits he is not comfortable interviewing Rudy or Bush because he attacks them on his show. I guess Olbermann is not smart enough to know when he has contradicted himself.

So let's see..... Olbermann calls himself a "journalist" but this journalist has to recuse himself from interviews (Giuliani) because of his partisan screeds?

Nice try Bathtub Boy,

Grammie,

I hope you're getting environmental hazard pay. :D

The Dem sites like think progress, DU, and raw story have comments ripping Kurtz for being a tool and asking Olbermann biased questions. Yes, biased against Keith. Did they watch the same interview? I saw a cake walk.

Good point. If he were that smart, he should be bright enough to know that he shouldn't be in a job which requires you to talk to pols of both parties.

Kurtz asked him some pretty good questions I thought, but didn't challenge any of his BS responses, especially on O'Reilly. Now, as someone who watches Mr. Bill every night (along with Countdown I might add), I can say with certainty that Bill O'Reilly is neither "outrageous" nor "offensive", unless you are someone who cannot handle opposing points of view and must lash out in the most vicious and dishonest of ways. If O'Reilly were THAT offensive on a nightly basis, he would have more than just Keith and the crazy blue blogs covering him.

And it was John Edwards' comment about 200,000 vets sleeping UNDER BRIDGES that drew Bill's criticism. He doesn't deny that there are homeless veterans out there; but when you have Bill O'Reilly Derangement Syndrome, sometimes it can be hard to tell the truth.

What Keith said about O'Reilly - that he has to attack O'Reilly every night because otherwise his "lies" would be part of some imaginary "record" was funny considering that Olbermann has attacked me and this site quite a few times and I'd say that while applying his idea to O'Reilly is silly it is spot on with regard to him.

Ktt - would you mind providing links to the threads on DU, Think Progress, etc. regarding the Kurtz interview of KO. Post them here and then I can bump them up into the post as an update.

Posted by: Great Thanks at January 27, 2008 10:04 PM

I said the same thing on the other thread. I put it this way. O'Reilly is #1 and Olbermahn is #4.

"O'Reilly makes it up as he goes along..."

Hey Bathtub Boy, you told your viewers that Michelle Malkin actually got fired from "The O'Reilly Factor" instead of quitting. You still haven't produced the documentation for that. Talking about making stuff up. You pulled that out of...never mind. There might be kids reading this.

I sure wish Michelle Malkin had sued him for that lie.

> you told your viewers that Michelle Malkin actually got fired

And Liz Claman. And Neil Cavuto. And Alexis Glick.

And Major Garrett never reported any denials. And the NIE never mentioned uranium. And yada yada yada (insert any of the Top Ten Lies of 2006 and/or 2007 here).

O'Reilly COULD make it up as he goes along, and he'd STILL have a better accuracy rate than the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann.

I love the fact that Olbermann thinks that he is the first person on television to attack George Bush.
It is also interesting that he thinks that people only watch Fox News because they thought everyone supported George Bush and that Fox News was the only source of information. This delusional fantasy that everyone in the media was afraid to criticize George Bush except him is very telling.

So Howie Kurtz let Krazy Keith slide,
We never saw that one coming!
Reliable Sources has nothing to hide,
Lefties never give their own a drumming.
Fair and balanced, that's not Keith,
Usual Worst Person, O'Reilly.
From fruity guests we get no relief,
And no Republican is rated highly.

Olbermann is a liar. Howard had oppotunities to nail him and let him slide. Olbermann doesn't have anyone who disagrees because he's a coward. Hed has no intellectual thought and wouldn't be able to defend himself.

While it is true that Kurtz did not ask the obvios follow ups when Olbermann started lying, the fact that he actually raised these isues is about as much as we are going to get from the MSM.

I was actually amazed that a WaPo lefty confronted Olby on these issues. I think that Olby would like to name Kurtz a WPITW for betraying him, but Kurtz is an establishment lib and Olby would burn his bridges with Milbank and Eugene Robinson, his reliable WaPo stooges, for going after Kurtz. But believe me, Olby is none too happy with Kurtz.

I agree. I also think Kurtz "Hung him out to Dry" by not challenging him. To me, Olberman made a fool of himself and Howie knew it.

You people are hilarious. I thought you said you counted lies? Seemed to me those where things you disagreed with. And you have no credibility when Bill O'Reilly is fine in your book but Keith is bad. Give me a break!

People who agree with you are smart, but people who disagree with you are lefty loons. Pathetic pathetic pathetic.

So Keith can't keep an eye on Bill (even though he should because he is the king of spin)? But you guys keeping an eye on Keith is legit? You people are just as inconsistent as Fox News. The spin starts here.

And you all support Bush too, right? What is wrong with this world?!

I see more bullshit and lies on this site than any other site I go to. This is sad, and your stubbornness around here is terrible. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Right wing propaganda, and it makes me sick

You hit that one on the head! Apparently, that is considered fun or fulfilling.

Well...Olbermann lies.

There is no way to defend many of his answers in light of recent and remote history (documented well here at OW) or with using common sense....

I encourage my fellow clear thinkers here at OW to send rational, respectful and brief comments to Mr. Kurtz at CNN after viewing the clip or reading the transcript......

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form5.html?25

###
Considering the poor ratings the show gets, I wonder if a small increase in show comments will get their attention and perhaps a different view of Olbermann's bad behavior (by way of a few well worded and strong comments) will be aired on a future show......One can only hope.

Any exposure of Olbermann's pathology is healthy for our democracy and the problematic American media establishment.

That last sentence of yours, Cee @ 7:00 a.m. doesn't make a lick of sense. You're really full of youself, which means your full of poop.

"How is it you keep putting a show on about that one topic every night and call it news?" - Keith Olbermann

What a hoot.

Ten minutes and twenty-one lies
Moonbat in "news anchor" disguise
Sane folks will admit
Krazy Keith's full of shit
It's no wonder his colleagues despise

Boy oh boy guest, I really would like to see your evidence to the contrary....Allow me to put it another way......

By "Olbermann's pathology," I mean his denial that he is a pundit. Do you understand? He is claiming in the CNN interview that he is a journalist who is capable of seperating his roles......He is a journalist when he hosts COUNTDOWN and MSNBC election night coverage....BUT he does do commentary in the form of WPITW and his Special Comments....This is his claim.....

He is lying. The entire content of COUNTDOWN is punditry from the left. OLBERMANN WATCH has documented the evidence very well. So, valid conclusions range from Olbermann is greatly mistaken (at best) or actually lying (worst)...either being wrong (pathological)......

Proper labeling of news or commentary is a basic journalist ethic.....MSNBC COUNTDOWN and Olbermann is labeled as news and journalist.....this is false....So, guest....please address the claim that I am full of poop....You give no evidence to defeat my conclusions.

I got unlucky, and caught the "Orange Idiot" by accident. Laughed that he tried to sound normal for the interview, and I suspect he nailed a 10mg. valium 45 min. til air. Either that or his idiotic voice showing outrage is an act...Face it, Olbergoebbels, if you take away Huffpost,MediaMatters,and DailyKos, you have no script. You have the same 5 morons on as "knowledgeable experts", and never mind having on a guest with a dissenting opinion like O'Reilly does every night. You couldn't debate your way out of a paper bag, you orange cunt....His entire career is built around Bush and O'Reilly, real winner Olbergoebbels. I just thank God this site exists, so I don't have to watch you make an ass of yourself, I can just read about it the next morning. By the way, did anyone ever investigate "Bathtub" to see if anyone on his staff mailed the mysterious white powder to Olbergoebbels during the Anthrax scare???? I mean, did Al-Queda really know who Olberdouche was, or was it a ratings gag?

How about some evidence to the contrary that they're not lies? I won't hold my breath....

"Bush is awesome."

Unless you are a tween Republican, I would use other adjectives....Bush is rarely mentioned by most here....and when he is discussed it is usually with one of the banned trolls with BDS.......

###
"Olby is orange and has a big fat ass."

Again, not seen as much....I like to mention the various eyeglass frames that make him look like a metrosexual, but that is simply my problem, not the board's.

###
"Fox news rules!"

Again, FNC is rarely discussed here except with trolls or when Olbermann decides to curse the darkness that is his silly obsession, Fox's Bill O'Reilly....

I would venture that there is very diverse opinion about #1 and #3 on the list here at OW....The personal appearance of Keith Olbermann is simply a matter of good taste and so far I have not formed an overall opinion of the majority's reaction to his skin tone, his physique or his choice of clothing/accessories....

We'll see if a consensus is reached.

Hopefully RCox gets rid of the rest of the loons. I have faith in him.

That will show those loons! I hate loons!!

I am disappointed in Howard Kurtz. You would think he would have pressed Olbermann more on his "popularity" since often a CNN and Headline news show beat Olbermann in ratings. Olbermann is also highly critical of Lou Dobbs and Anderson Copper who are on CNN. Whatever Kurtz's feelings on O'Reilly are, one would have thought that Kurtz would have pressed Olbermann more on Olbermann's claims of being a "journalist". I am also disappointed that Olbermann was interview by himself instead of being stuck on Kurtz's panel. The bookcase in back of Olbermann made me want to vomit also.

I just find it very arogant and self-agrandizing for Olbermann to do is interview in front of a book case. Considering the fact that he lifts the material for his show from web blogs and considering that he wasted a valuable Cornell education on a vaped subject like communications. That is the kind of subject that a football player who could not spell his name on the ACT would major in at the University of Miami.

Olbermann boasts that he hardly ever attended classes at Cornell, as if it is something to be proud of. By his own admission, his grades were mediocre at best, just enough to keep him enrolled. Perhaps that explains his overall ignorance on a great many subjects.

Hey Kids,

Did you catch the FBI agent George Piro interview on 60 Minutes last night? It was compelling on all levels. Top ten TV moments of the young year for sure.

The guy had 100% credibility and touched on a lot of myths about Saddam leading up to the war. If not check it out on the 60 minutes website.

Why do you Olby haters keep hating with your hateful attitudes? I am really glad Olbermann uses his news show to talk about O'Reilly and Brtney Spears and paris Hilton. This is what people really care about. He shold talk more about O'Reilly because he is the same kind of hating hater as the hating haters on this website and that really is the kind of news that a news department should be bringing to our living rooms every night.

Posted by: So what? at January 28, 2008 3:09 PM

Might I suggest gibsonsonwatch.com.....Is there such a thing? Maybe the news mutts have 60 page screed on the subject.

Speakiing of credibility, the Olby haters are always whining that Olby don't have guests who don't agree, as if that makes what he say untrue.

When you get smart people on the show who agree with Olbermann that shows right there that he is right. If you had somebody who disagreed that would just get things confused. It is better to have just one opinion that everybody can agree with.

The critics are just jealous. You claim Olby lies but if Olby were really lying the smart people who are guests on his show would recognize the lies and point it out, so that shows that Olby is not lying no matter what you haters think.

Hey anti-hater

Is that you Rudy?

I'm struck by Olbermann telling Howard Kurtz that no one thought he was a liberal in 1998, when he was doing all those "negative" shows about Clinton on MSNBC's The Big Show.

Well, I beg to differ. I well remember that conservatives were labeling Olbermann as a liberal back in the day. Of course, to Olbermann, that's the same as "nobody".

Any show that covered the scandal of the president having an affair, lying about it in court and to the public, and using govt agencies to thwart a law suit involving a discovery process against him, would inherently be doing "negative" coverage of Clinton.

Along with Clinton defenders, critics of tv coverage of the scandal, and critics of Republican handing of the scandal, The Big Show also had Clinton opponents as guests. In Olbermann's mind, these dynamics alone add up to what he calls negative Clinton coverage and by negative coverage he really means PARTISAN coverage.

Lewinsky scandal + equal-time Clinton critic guests = partisan Clinton coverage.

Olbermann thinks simply by covering the scandal nightly and giving voice to some Clinton critics, that MSNBC was in effect becoming RNC tv.

In reality Olbermann was on The Big Show voicing his views that the Republican House Managers were analogous to KKK Grand Wizards and that OIC Ken Starr's appearance resembled Heinrich Himmler's.

Now it's meaningless to Olbermann that conservatives were calling him a liberal in the days of The Big Show. Who cares what those extremist freaks think.
However, shouldn't it strike him as odd that he could criticize nightly coverage of the biggest news story of the day, liken Clinton opponents to monsters, and eventually quit his job to avoid covering the matter entirely AND NO ONE IN THE MSM CALLED HIM A LIBERAL?

It took "Special (and no so special) Comments" attacking Bush, calling the Republican Party terrorists, airing every blue blog conspiracy theory on the web, a ban on Bush supporter guests, and calling for Bush's impeachment or resignation... for the MSM to finally label Keith Olbermann a "liberal"...

Good lord! Maybe his new diary on Daily Kos where he hopes for Democratic election victory has done some good towards erasing any lingering doubts...in the minds of Olbermann's colleagues...

These folks will NEVER see that the most threatening institutional bias in their profession is not filtered down through corporate stockholders. It's their own parochial arrogance and isolation.

And the most arrogant, most resistant to institutional change, most blinkered snob and ideologue of them all, is now billed as a media touchstone for unvarnished fearless truth.

Yeah... the guy who daily lives out the combined scripts of Groundhog Day and All the President's Men is our modern day Edward Murrow.

Has the media ever looked so ridiculous?

The reality

At the time of this coverage on The Big Show, Olbermann was

Cecelia, cut KO some slack.

I distinctly heard him say that he really wants every segment to be a new and segment. I am sure that was the principal he was trying to operate on back then.

Doing segments on an investigation, impeachment and Senate trial of a sitting President gets so tiresome and partisan and hateful.

As a fearless Truth to Power type of guy he has rethought his priorities and realizes BOR, Fox News and the RNC are stories that warrant continual, even repetitition day in and day out, week in and week out, month in and month out, year in and year out.

As they say about voting, Grammy, please repeat these statements "early and often"...

Yes, Olbermann knows the "real" enemy and it is "us"...

In the midst of Olbermann blaming the evil Bush Administration for his new-found (right...) political activism, it's too bad Kurtz didn't ask him to explain his statement likening FNC to Al Qaeda.

As the interview revealed......

Olbermann covers Bill O'Reilly everynight because O'Reilly makes him do it......

Olbermann prohibits the appearance of any politican right of Joe Liebermann's left pinky toe because those "right-wingers" make him do it..........

Olbermann goes after Bush because Bush makes him do it......

Ok...

Cee,

FNC, aside.... but for having to counter the dangers of a Republican president, Republican pols and rightwingers, Olbermann would be non-political...

Isn't wonderful to know that with the exception of a few particularly bad culprits (Bush, Giuliani), Olbermann can put aside the mantle these rogues forced upon him and offer up unbiased political commentary concerning them.

How about a collective sigh of relief, everyone...

I've been an MSNBC watcher for years. Thanks on my behalf, MSNBC!...

You haters are amazing! It just never stops with you people.

The reason I watch Olbermann so much is that he does not promote hate like all the others and I am dedicated to stopping the hate. Back in 1998 when right wingers were busy hating Clinton, Olbermann gritted his teeth and did over 200 consecutive shows about the persecution of President Bill and Hillary Clinton. Olbermann realized it was all nothing but hate and got disgusted and left the show.

Now Olbermann shines the light where the neo cons can be exposed for all to see. The neo con haters hate Olbermann because he is trying to do good in the world by telling everyone what haters they are. Olbermann recognizes hate when he sees it because of the hating that went on when the right wing tried to impeach.

If Keith had people on his show who disagreed with him, it would just lead to more hate and we already have too much hate. Watch Olbermann and forget about your right wing hate.

MSNBC announced that Olbermann will be giving his own State-of-the-Union report or "verdict" prior to the President's SOTU address.

Immediately after his show, Olbermann will then switch chairs (hah!) and co-anchor the news desk for coverage of Bush's address.

An MSNBC spokesperson said, "Keith has proven himself to be the consummate broadcaster both on election night coverage and on previous SOTU coverage."

Right, so consummate that he admits he had to recuse himself from interviewing Giuliani and, if he appeared, not question Bush as well.

Let's see: he'll call for Bush to resign, denounce him as a fascist Nazi monster, say Bush has destroyed the Republic, and then take off his pundit hat and report objectively.

That he is allowed to pull this nonsense is just crazy.

Crazy.

Anti-Hater, where have you been all this time I was locked in my Neo Con trap of hatred b/c I failed to REALLY hear what KO was saying.

Please don't talk about Britney, Paris, Bush or the economy. You have been warned. The next step is banishment.

Steve,

I've said it before and I'll say it ...endlessly...again... :D

Think of poor Matthews, Russert, and Brokaw.

Keith has been accorded this promotion so he can gather in an audience who think his colleagues are largely corporate shills...

Olbermann is cohosting (as contrasted with merely being a commenter), in order to "keep it real" and make the pols answer in a way that MSNBC implies these others guys can't be trusted to do...

I think the late writer Paddy Chayefsky would have a field day with this. :D

When you get smart people on the show who agree with Olbermann that shows right there that he is right. If you had somebody who disagreed that would just get things confused. It is better to have just one opinion that everybody can agree with.

The critics are just jealous. You claim Olby lies but if Olby were really lying the smart people who are guests on his show would recognize the lies and point it out, so that shows that Olby is not lying no matter what you haters think.

Kind of like the other side on this site.

As long you agree with RCox's mission statement you will be fine.

Bob - sorry I didn't see your post earlier

You have the Think Progress and Raw Story addresses already.

Here's the DU one where you'll find "Keith schools Whorie Kurtz about what a journalist should be"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2773279

The kids at Either Relevant or True had some issues with Kurtz being unfair also. You can check if it's worth your trouble. By the way, they're buying the answer for him not having any opposing viewpoints, thinking it would result in a shout fest. This makes no sense. He can't speak to someone who disagrees with him because it would be too heated? Is there no such thing as a civil conversation between two people?

Get out much? Ever heard the term 'puppet?' His lies are not based on what we 'think.' There is abundant evidence. What ever you do, don't you dare look at the top of this page.

This is the genius Grammie and Cecelia choose to align with and defend.

RK, you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

our troll posted a few more comments today. The are rather obvious. I deleted them. I am not going to aggressively monitor the troll, just let the troll waste their time writing comments and the going in 1-2 times a day and deleting their handiwork. This will work better if, as I said yesterday, folks do not quote the troll - and even better if people will just ignore the troll.

You got to admit, it's a very strong chain. No proof of the 'lies that aren't lies?' Shocker.

The problem with this site is that everyone is allowed to express
