Well, it's not like it'd be the first lie from the infamous, deplorable one. But if reports are correct, it would be one of the most audaciously egregious. On yesterday's Hour of Spin:
The conservative Web site RedState has a front page link for Haitian relief donations via the Salvation Army. The sites "National Review" and Town Hall and FOX News have front page links for Haitian relief donations by the Worldview Organization. SeanHannity.com has a front page link to Haitian relief donations via the Red Cross. RushLimbaugh.com has a front page link to a company that sells gold coins.
Wow, what a searing indictment from Edward R Olbermann. Unfortunately, it seems to have been a lie, according to multiple sources. Example:
And another:
Did Olbermann just get caught in another lie? We report, you decide:

Get ready to recap the last Hour of Spin for the week. Comments are open!
Hey lets see if Danny Glover makes Countdowns wrost? 95/5 he won't!
I wishsomeone would kick this smug SOB off his high horse!
All his show is reading news we all know already..at least madow mixes up her show..not this smug sob!
I think that Olby might attempt to reason with this latest lie by stating he never said that Rush DIDN'T have a Haiti ad on his homepage. Instead, he only pointed out that Rush had a gold advertisement on his front page.
Here is the blurb from the transcript last night
"The conservative Web site RedState has a front page link for Haitian relief donations via the Salvation Army. The sites “National Review” and Town Hall and FOX News have front page links for Haitian relief donations by the Worldview Organization. SeanHannity.com has a front page link to Haitian relief donations via the Red Cross.
RushLimbaugh.com has a front page link to a company that sells gold coins.
It was a Saxon jurist who seems to have said it first in 1673 and it applies tonight, “More inhumanity to man has been done by man himself than any other of nature‘s causes.”"
As you can see, he never technically stated that Rush didn't have a relief link, but rather just used OlbyLogic to group the gold advertisement with the presence of Haiti relief ads at other conservative outlets in an attempt to slime Limbaugh and make it appear that he was ignoring the Haiti relief effort.
Either way, he is a manipulative jackass, or a lying dirt bag. Actually, I think both of those statement describe his nightly performance on MeltDown.
I think HoneySmacks computer was taken over by the coward MikeH:
"He never said it wasn't on there, you just ASSumed, and you know what happens when you ASSume!"
Just from the transcript you could tell where he was going with it. I'm sure he'll just ignore this like every other lie that comes out.
I think Keith is just bummed out that Fox is dominating the ratings even with the latest tragic events in Haiti.
Hell, they're in THIRD behind CNN!
And all he could bring up tonight? More bashing on Rush and all the bashing on Fox
Bashing Sean who said that the big story on Wed was the election in Mass, instead of Haiti. Duh Keith, charity begins at HOME!
Then he blamed Beck and of course, drum roll....BOR.
Olbermann has no life, he's trying to milk this for that elusive news Emmy from which he will get on the blood of others.
The reason why Keith's numbers are nowhere near the numbers that Fox is putting up is that the people see past the bulls**t. He spews hate and lies. Even though his show is tops on MSLSD, why do the people who run that broken down network put up with him night in and night out.

The earthquake in Haiti happened at about 5:00 pm on Tuesday but Olby never even mentioned the quake Tuesday night. Now we have 3 straight nights of wall to wall quake coverage???
All of a sudden Olby is a sincere, compassionate person? The furrowed brow, somber voice and shifting camera angles...give me a f*cking break. This scumbag is all about hate, nothing more, nothing less. I don't know who he is trying fool but the more dramatic he is the more laughable it gets.
Hey Keith, are you practicing for your new profession as a comedic actor or what???
Olbermann is nothing more than a water carrier for the progressive movement. He claims to be a government watchdog, but I haven't seen any of that lately or since Obama and the dems took over. He is only pretending to be compassionate about the earthquake victims in Haiti to push the Healthcare reform agenda.
He's a water carrier that accuses people he disagrees with of being water carriers, shills, and sellouts.
The bashing of Sean, Glenn, and Bill occurred in WPitW. "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" played in the background, but the "somber voice" took the place of the usual unfunny shtick.
Since I don't feel like transcribing the quote cropped attacks and the need to make Sophie Delaunay of Doctors Without Borders, a charity Bill O'Reilly donates to, look like she socked it to poor, misguided sicko Bill, I'll link to WPitW video here. The feeling of disgust after watching it is normal.
I was unable to pinpoint the source of any of Keith's Comment-esque attacks. However, I will link to the text and video of yesterday's Talking Points Memo. As you notice during T-Points and Reality Check, Bill uses a literary device ("Talking Points," "Check") to avoid repeatedly talking in the first person. Keith klaimed "Talking Points" was an "imaginary friend." Blackwater! [Ding!] Katrina! [Ding!] Brownie Heckuva Job! [Ding!] Fox jumped the shark! Cartoon Network!
The BillOReilly.com summary of T-Points and both parts of the Top Story segment, where Olby's gotcha heroine appeared, can be found here.
Top Story was summarized this way:
"The Factor was joined by two people with vast experience dealing with Haiti's problems. Sophie Delaunay of Doctors Without Borders outlined how her group is helping right now. 'It's always challenging to operate in this volatile environment,' Delaunay said, 'and our priorities are to provide medical emergency care. We know where all our money is spent because we buy the food and the drugs.' Richard Grenell, a veteran UN official, elaborated on the inherent frustrations. 'The U.N. has been working on Haiti issues since 1993, billions of dollars have gone there, and for seventeen years we've been trying to get this problem fixed. It's a survival mentality - they're still trying to feed and clothe people.' The Factor posed a critical and rhetorical question: 'The island is worse now than it was in 1992. Where did all that money go, why hasn't anything gotten better? Americans should give money, but President Obama has an obligation to stringently watch the $100 million that has been pledged.'
Fox News analyst Laura Ingraham also weighed in on Haiti and the U.S. responsibility to help. 'America is always going to step up and help people in need,' Ingraham said, 'but we have to remember that the weaker we become economically, the less we are going to be able to help other countries. So as we pray and hope for Haiti's recovery, we have to remember that if we are not fixed as a country economically, it's going to be a tough sell to the American people that we're going to help other people.' Ingraham added that Haitians themselves have a responsibility. 'You have to have people who want to help themselves. No amount of money or aid or micromanaging is going to help a country prosper if the people don't want to fight for it.'"
OMG! just watched cooment #2 Friday.
Again Nothing about Danny Glover comment..hmmm
So what is Keith sayin in his wrost person, that the dicators in the past Baby Doc and Aritsted ( Clintons guy he put in power) didn't leave Hait with fist full of OUR tax money when they were run out?
So KO if Hati was such a great place why didn't you vacation there pre earthquake , hell you made it sound like Disneyland!
ANd hey DUMBASS you do not get it, by giving money to the US government is usless, because we are already sending our tax money 100 billion I think Obama said were sending so why give them more..give it to the charities that get the money and use it quickly im sure much more efficently then the US government...
And HEy what about Danny Glover not a WORD surprise surprise..I gues that story didnt make it the lefty blogs..
Wait, wait, wait. Keith is slamming BOR, Beck and Hannity for not covering the Haitian earthquake to his standard??? This from the man WHO DID NOT COVER THE STORY ON THE DAY THAT IT HAPPENED. Oh man, that is absolutely priceless.
(whispering in Keith's ear) Psst, Keith. Stop overcompensating for your lack of coverage when you dropped the ball on Tuesday. (Backing away and shouting) EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ARE A FRAUD!!!
The WPITW attack on Hannity seemed especially petty, even though we are dealing the the deplorable Edward R. Olbermann.
So let me understand this, when Hannity starts a new discussion on the critical Jan. 19 special election in Mass. by saying "All eyes are now on Massachusetts", it's somehow an attack on the people who are bulldozing bodies into ditches in Haiti? Does Olbermann understand that the people running the relief effort in Haiti don't give a shit about the wording a Conservative political pundit uses to introduce his political segments? Of course he doesn't realize that, he can only focus on his attempts to boost his ego to new heights by acting as the morality police whenever Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, and O'Reilly comment on current events. Keep up the good work Olby, maybe you can pull a number out of ass like "100,000 lives saved or created" due to to your quick comments on Haiti. I am sure the real heroes, the actual people on the ground in Haiti, are dying to hear your every rant and accusation as you sit in your heated studio in NYC.
Somebody might want to remind Olbermann that the United States Marines are now essentially acting as the official government in Haiti. They aren't there because of his relentless attacks on conservatives, but rather because Americans are the most compassionate and caring people on Earth. We don't need his over-dramatic circus parade of special comments and condescending rants about how evil the GOP is to understand how severe the situation is there. The sad part is that he really probably equates himself with the military forces who have been running the search and rescue and who will assist with the ongoing cleanup. Somebody give this man an Emmy!
Rush has donated more money and time to various charities than KO could only dream of..and as for the current MSM lie that Rush said not to donate to Haiti..what he said is to donate to charities outside the US Government..meaning that there's a greater chance the money will actually get to the victims.
By the way is there any kind of betting pool on whether KO will be in the tub Tuesday when Brown wins "Kennedy's seat"? New Murrow indeed.
Didn't keith accuse Fox News viewers of being paranoid and conspiracy theorists? As I recall he reported and proposed the conspiracy of the CIA trying to make Obama look bad fpr the failed terrorist attack of the underwear bomber. So that makes Keith a paranoid and conspiracy theorist. I guess that makes him a Fox News viewer.
Get this Bill O beat Ko by...over 3 million on the 14th!
How does a sports anchor become a ligitament news show anchor? Anyone that calls Keith Olbermann a journalist is living in a fantasy world. This guy could not report a small fire under his desk. He hates conservatives and republicans and it shows on his program. At least O'Rielly has people he disagrees with on his show. Hannity also has people he disagrees with on his show. Why is Keith so scared to debate his point of view with those whom might disagree with him?
He uses the strawman "two people shouting at each other" argument as an excuse.
So WPITW was nothing but a fox haters segment completely. Its good to see Edward R Oralmann broaden his "journalistic" horizons by attacking people off of the suffering of a country. Makes you proud that this guy has the balls to call himself an American, right? Someone tell Obama he needs a new czar: Keith Olbermann, douchebag czar.
Keith is lazy. Keith clicks on media matters, moveon, and, the dailykos and he thinks he is doing journalism. Go to Haiti, Keith. They don't know you down there from a big mashed up bag of meat. The people won't jeer you like you deserve. No, Keith will rip and read for 45 minutes and scamper back to his Manhattan apartment. What is Brian Williams doing, Keith? Sleeping in a tent at the airport. He is on the gorund at the scene, doing what journalists do. Keith is a sorry lazy prick.
ENOUGH! RESIGN!

This is the 99th day since the current President was awarded the Nobel Peace prize.
didn't watch Bath-tub-boy last night. In too much pain and lortap can only do so much. everything went as well as expected yesterday, got a big scar on my wrist. I can't lift 5 pounds with my left wrist, but that won't prevent me from lifting up the truth to the veil of lies the deplorable one tells every night. Just will get back to it monday (maybe).
Right now I am spending time in the red eye robot theater. But not with a computerized Mariska Hargitay, but with a robot Bill Shultz and Mike Baker instead. SCARY!!!! And they both have lotion.
With the latest sports-related gaffe by the democrat nominee for Senate in Massachusetts (she claimed Schilling was a Yankee's fan....yikes!)....
I look forward to Monday when Keith Olbermann shows how fair and objective he is....I plan to see at least one segment with him deriding and shaking his head at Ms. Coakley just as much as he does with Ms. Palin.
Dim candidates like Coakley deserve it according to Mr. Olbermann....
Come on now....fair is fair.
Cee,
That was great. I just heard the audio:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0110/Coakley_and_Schilling.html?showall
This is my favorite exchange:
Dan Rea: "Schilling"
Coakley: "Yes"
Dan Rea: "Curt Schilling a Yankee fan?"
Coakley: "No...Alright I'm wrong on my...I'm wrong"
What a walking disaster. She has resorted to running negative ads against Brown because she is so desperate and this just blows up in her face. This just shows how out of touch she is with the American people. I know Schilling was just a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox but that 2004 World Series run is something that anyone from Massachusetts would remember, not only because Schilling was pitching on an injured ankle, but because it was Boston's first World Series win since 1918.
Will Olby report on this? Never. Just like he would never mention Danny Glover comments:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2594693/danny_glover_haiti_caused_by_failure.html
This is the core of Olbermann's hypocrisy...picking an choosing which stories a worthy of his time and fits his personal, political agenda.
Pat Robertson...Yes
Danny Glover...No
Scott Brown...Yes
Martha Coakley...No
Sarah Palin...Yes
Martha Coakley...No
Just imagine the sh*t storm Olbermann would have stirred up if Coakley was a Republican. Oh my God, it would be Sarah Palin 2.0 and the Haitian earthquake would be a distant memory.
Pathetic.
Wasn't this the same guy who ripped Sarah Palin for congratulating the Phillies in Pirate-ville?
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/31/7741/7354
I'm sure the coward MikeH, who not surprisingly hasn't shown himself in months, would once again call this a "trivial thing", but it's just the general hypocrisy Olbermann traffics in on a regular basis. I'd say I'm jumping the gun but I would bet my PS3 that he doesn't mention this Coakley mishap. In fact if Scott Brown pulls this out he'll probably get another emergency phone call about his father-just like he did with Chris Christie. Get the bath tub ready.
Now I'm sure people will paint this as "who gives a crap" but the bottom line is if she doesn't know what's going on in her own state what business does she have in Washington?
Curt Schilling is a goddamn folk hero to the working people of New England. If she wasn't an elitist piece of garbage she might know that.
Ed Shultz openly called on Voter fraud in Mass.now if Glenn Beck did something like that KO and the rest of MSNBC would be calling for his head..
I'm wondering if KO is planning a "Special comment "for Mon to deal with the big loss the Dems are looking at Tues?..my guess if not that atleast a big hit piece on Brown.New Murrow indeed.
Olbermann doesn't care what we think of him. He will lie and smear and do whatever it takes to get the progressive message across. In fact that is what all progressives do. Tlhey will do what it takes in order to control your life and Olbermann is helping them do it.
Is hell freezing over?
Will this be talked about on 'Countdown' come Monday?
http://www.redmassgroup.com/diary/6658/wow-purple-shirted-seiu-members-holding-signs-at-standout
Okay, one out of two.
A hurricane, earthquake and war
Three things Keith's never covered before
His live-in Katy
Might go to Haiti
When there's money for being a whore
Fox Haters Week in Review
Coakly calling Schilling a yankees fan and now we have this?
http://washingtontimes.com/weblogs/watercooler/2010/jan/16/ed-schultz-id-cheat-keep-brown-winning/
Will Keith be in to take his coworker to task or will he ignore the story? Actually with two strikes this weekend well Keith be soaking in the tub? My money is on Mr. Bubbles
Keith has worked 8 of 10 days so far this year, way to go big guy!
There seems to be some confusion,The screen grab that was shown with this piece is a revolving ad, not a permanent ad. Yes it comes up Haitian relief, but only in rotation. Unlike the other sites mentioned with a permanent ad relief effort at the top of the page. Rush does have a permanent link to Haitian relief, it's the last em at the bottom of his page.
Who exactly is expected to have a Haiti relief link? Did the self-rightout Reverand Olbermann expand on that?....
How about one of his favorite ripoff sites, mediamatters.org?.....
http://mediamatters.org/
How about another frequently site COUNTDOWN frequently give great credit to, thinkprogress.org?.....
http://thinkprogress.org/
Or another bastion of leftist snobbery, The New Republic?......
http://www.tnr.com/
Are these sites callously ignoring the pain and suffering?
Mr. Limbaugh has many examples of philanthropy in his past, including a yearly telethon for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Olbermann may have an argument against Limbaugh's theories on Obama using the crisis as a political tool, but attacking the man's generocity is silly and unsupported.
Concerning the link from pewp_head, that shows what progressives think about the electorial process of America. They don't care about the constitution, they don't care about your life. Ed Shultz said he would vote ten times to keep "those bastard out". He said that "he would cheat" to keep them out. What kind of person would approve voter fraud to keep that seat democrat, an out of touch progressive that will spit on the constitution that's who. We need to keep this bastard of the airwaves and television.
