This is the recappers' comment thread for Countdown, October 9 2008.
This is a special thread for you to post your comments on tonight's Hour of Spin. Note everything salient: smears, distortions, bias, lies, the works. Watch the first showing, the repeat, or view the videos at the Countdown website. It falls on you--the clear-thinking readers of Olbermann Watch--to document Oralmann's diseased rantings for posterity.
Be an Olbermann Watch blogger--without all the muss and fuss! Comments are open: post your analysis of tonight's Hour of Spin here, and you may see your insights later tonight in an official OlbyWatch Recap.
McOlbermahn thinks he's McCute
For McKountdown I hit McMute
He's McSophomoric
And McNon-euphoric
For debates he got the McBoot
Isn't Sarah Silverman supposed to be funny?
I've gotta say, Olbermann has become more and more aggressive in hacking for the Obama campaign, and less and less subtle about it.
I don't even feel like I need to recap anything. As far as bias is concerned, the show exposes itself, at least to any level-headed person.
#2: The Media Matters Minute.
Worse was Page Six. "There isn't a crisis at NBC News." Could've fooled me. Olbermann Lies about the ratings followed. We're #8 on iTunes! Billo! [Ding!]
Worser was Ed Snider, owner of the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers. Blue blog source: Deadspin. http://deadspin.com/5061116/sarah-palins-pucksterism-comes-to-flyers-opening-night
His crime is letting Sarah Palin drop the ceremonial first puck at this Saturday's home opener. Maxed-out GOP donor! FreedomsWatch is "an outside hit squad" against Democrats and "getting our troops home from Iraq." Boo, Republicans! Troops home now! Bring them home! Etc.
Worst was President Bush. Blue blog source: Mother Jones. http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2008/10/pillow_talk.html
Pillow talk! "So...President Bush, you were eavesdropping on Americans after all, even our own military. (sarcastic thumbs up): Support the troops!"
#1: Sarah Silverman ruins her remotely good standing by appearing on the Hour of Spin. Great Schlep. News Corp attacks. McCain attacks. Palin attacks. Florida! Florida! Florida! (I wrote that for Tim Russert.)
Keith Olbermann again attacks John McCain's wife, while attacking anyone who would dare question Michelle Obama. This time he claims that Cindy is smearing the troops when in fact she was defending them.
Sarah Silverman? Another failed "comedian" on. What happened to Richard Lewis? Sarah Silverman became famous by destroying a marriage and then getting dumped.
Keith again attacks Palin for having no foreign policy experience. Could Keith explain what great foreign policy experience, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Barry Obama had or has??
The guy has no pride or self-respect. He must look in the mirror in the morning and wonder, gee, who will give me my talking points today? The Kos kids are always good for a few lies or at least some abusive comments I can use. Maybe Barak or one of his smarmy front people will call and want me to try out some material so they can see how it looks and gauge how it will play. Guess I will have time to surf the other liberal blogs and see whats happening. After all, it isn't like the audience that likes me really cares what I say as long as I am bashing the right people.
If McCain pulls the upset he might just go to the top of 30 Rock and jump. How cool would that be?
I can’t stomach Keith’s one sided show so I went to his website.
And wouldn’t you know it, 4 more attacks on McCain without any rebuttal.
Keith has to be the biggest coward on TV news.
Edward Murrow had the guts to have strong, tough and face to face debates with the people he disagreed with but Keith doesn’t.
Keith calls Fox News the strong arm of the right wing Republican Party, he calls them bias, unfair and unbalanced.
And yet, he spends his whole show attacking Republicans and McCain.
The worst part of his show was attacking Cindy McCain.
She was clearly defending her husband and talking about the very young kids who were rushed into the Vietnam War with very little training. McCain was a Navel officer who had the training for some of the stuff he encountered.
Keith twisted her words to mean she was speaking about current solders. If Keith were to talk about the entire Cindy McCain article his audience would have heard Cindy speak very highly of today’s troops.
The only reason Keith made this Cindy McCain story up was because she attacked the man Keith is clearly routing for.
I expect the more Cindy attacks Obama, the more Keith will take cheap shots at her.
And that’s how he’ll spend his entire show, as an attack dog, making up stories.
I guess we don't have enough tonight, either. :-(
Well, we tried.
I'm sorry. I just now had time to get back here and it's almost 2:00 am. I can't stay up. You guys came very close tonight. My advice is to always preface your comment with which section of the show you are talking about: #5, #4, etc. We need to get at least most of the segments covered to have enough for a recap. I might have put one together from this if I hadn't been so busy with other stuff. It goes a lot quicker when all the parts are there and they only need to be assembled!
Maybe we can pull it off tomorrow night. I'm just to pooped to participate tonight and am heading for ye olde sack.
I think John-O's right,
The whole show is full of lies, half quotes, and yes men/comedians that it really whats to recap? Who can actually sit through a show? Who can continue to watch it when REAL primetime TV is on ( Earl was funny last night )
But i give kudos to Mike C, and man, oh #2 on worlds worse would have made my blood boil. That there is the inner workings of Bathtub Boy's mind. If you are a Repulican, invite a Republican, or shake hands with a Republican you're the worse person in the world ( or 2nd )
That by far is the most childish behavoir I ever seen from a person who makes $4 million more than I do.
And WOW #8 on iTunes, hey KO, go to an office somewhere and demand your internet money buddy.
Yeah, just because the man invites Sarah Palin to drop the puck....what could possibly be his reasoning??? Just because someone has someone else you don't like do a ceremonial gesture...thats wpitw. ridiculous.
KO has is the biggest hipocrite in the world. He attacks, but if anyone attacks the left he condemns them. I mean I know he thinks he's doing a great service in his eyes, but all he is doing is pandering to people just like him. Until he actually challenges another point of view, he will always be in my mind the worst of journalism: party hacks who pretend to be biased to gain support.
if you want people to vote for your party try showing your real intentions and stop trying to trick people...until the media stops this i will never support them or their party
"Flyers owner Ed Snider claims that there's no ulterior motive, that she's a wonderful spokesperson for the sport due her strident hockey mom-ness. But others are suggesting that this is a way for the owner just to force-feed his own political agenda during a crucial election" http://deadspin.com/5061116/sarah-palins-pucksterism-comes-to-flyers-opening-night
okay, this is forcing a political agenda when KO, and every other media network does it 24 hrs a day every day. absolutely absurd.
I think Keith Olbermann is an intelligent man with the balls and the medium to express what the rest of frustrated Americans feel about the ridiculous republican ticket that is McCain/Palin.
The day McCain/Palin EVER gets into the white house will be a sad sad day for the global community.
