Two analyses of the Supreme Court's McCain-Feingold decision. One lasts over 11 minutes. The other about two. One is a raving diatribe. The other addresses issues and facts. One is peppered with manic name-calling, personal attacks, and hyperbolic extrapolations. The other focuses on the US Constitution. Watch, compare, and then ask yourself... Which is real journalism? Which informs rather than inflames? And which is the work of a 'real news channel'? We report, you decide:

UPDATE: As they did with Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL), members of the Project 21 black leadership network are taking MSNBC talking head Keith Olbermann to task for his wrong-headed and offensive behavior in equating the free speech victory in the Supreme Court case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission to the infamous Dred Scott case.
Deneen Borelli: "For starters, to equate a decision that gives people more freedom of speech to a decision that denied basic rights to blacks is offensive and wrong. Then there is Olbermann's assumption that the American public today is a flock of sheep. Unlike Olbermann, the Court realizes freedom of speech is under assault, and the American people can't be bamboozled by the increased participation of a few rich individuals or companies. I think the failure of Obamacare - despite massive spending by the drug lobby and unions to promote it - is proof of that.
"It also seems as if the pot is calling the kettle black. MSNBC is currently owned by General Electric. GE Capital was bailed out by the taxpayers. GE CEO Jeff Immelt is a close advisor to President Obama, and GE would profit from Obama policies such as cap-and-trade. Olbermann has served as a cheerleader for all of this. Are Immelt and Olbermann simply afraid to allow others to possibly gain the attention and influence GE has had all along?"
R. Dozier Gray: "The idea that Obermann would connect the infamous Dred Scott decision to this new ruling is appalling, though not surprising. Olbermann's comments are, at best, hyperbolic. In my mind, the two decisions are opposites. The Dred Scott decision denied rights to an entire class of people and their descendants. The Citizens United decision recognizes both the rights of individual and entities that they can use to amplify their voice. To bring up Dred Scott is to introduce race where it simply does not belong."

The video is just one of many examples of why Fox News dominates in the cable news ratings. The American people want a full analysis of the Supreme Court decision, not a lunatic looking into the camera from different angles comparing it to slavery and the end of the world.
BTW, will Olby make Jon Stewart WPITW tonight or is it back to the tub for a 3 day soak? I know that Special Ed Komment took a lot out of him last night.
Ok let me get this straight: the country is basically finished and will be run by corporations because the Supreme Court ruled that a bill passed in 2002 is unconstitutional.
Tell me Keith Goebells, how did our country get by before the 2002 McCain-Feingold act?
I hope that by now most of you guys have already seen the Jon Stewart smack down of KO

KO is in complete meltdown phase.
On Wednesday's show, Olbermann chastised an editorial page editor at “The Dallas Morning News” for including "no refutations, no specifics" in his response to Olbermann's rant against Scott Brown. Similarly, however, Olbermann offered "no refutations, no specifics" in his response to Jon Stewarts skewering of him. Stewart exposed the dishonesty and hypocrisy in Olbermann's "Special Comment," pointing out how his attack on Michelle Malkin "sounds a lot more like violence against women than anything Scott Brown ever said."
Olbermann's response?
"It was a little bit of a ripoff of the Affleck thing, but overall, I'd give it a B-"
That's right, no refutations, no specifics.
On Wednesday's show, Olby stated "The response to lies is to offer the truth." Well, based on Olbermann's own words, he must be "a supporter of violence against women" because in his response, he didn't offer "the truth." He offered.........a B-.
The comments made on Red Eye a few nights ago sum up Olbermann completely, a man who honestly thinks the rest of the country sides with him on nearly every major issue. This is the reason why he claims to never toe a party line or that he projects a fair point of view. Olbermann has no right to accuse anyone of being out to touch, he is clearly representing an ever declining minority.
Jon Stewart, priceless. If Jon actually watched Countdown, and joined the few hundred thousand others that do, we'd have many more posts giving credit to a liberal who can clearly call out the ridiculousness that is Olbermann's nightly failure.
I wonder if he will ever complain when GE gives Obama, and his fellow democrat Senators and Representatives millions in the coming elections? Or the Unions that will undoubtedly give their full financial support to the Democrat party. My guess, this was just an opportunity to attack John Roberts (and Bush), and in the future when this ruling actually comes to life, he will ignore it, because he will not be able to present it without being a hypocrite.
But, we are talking about Keith Olbermann here, so, I'm probably completely wrong about my last point...

When KO attacked Floyd Abrams and basically called him a Nazi..did he know that 1-he's Jewish and 2-is the father of Dan Abrams?..I would like know how Dan feels about his former colleague attacking his Father with prehapes the worst smear that can be directed at a Jew. New Murrow indeed.
