Has every last vestige of common sense drained from the sinkhole that is A-Mess-NBC? Follow: Impartial hard-news journalist David Shuster went and exposed himself again on Twitter, screeching at arrestee James O'Keefe that he was guilty and was going to jail:
@DavidShuster: a) you are not a journalist b) the truth is you intended to tap her phones c) it's a felony d) you will go to prison.
Whoa. Isn't this something like deciding the case ahead of time, like declaring the defendant guilty before any testimony is taken, let alone a verdict entered? Well no, it's not something like that. It's exactly that! Of course it's nothing new for Slippery Shuster, if you remember one of his earlier Pulitzer-worthy scoops.
But there is another twist to the tale. How did MSNBC react when one of their alleged straight news journalists declared O'Keefe guilty until proven innocent? Did they smack him down, like they did to Morning Joe? Not exactly. In fact, A-Mess-NBC rewarded Shuster for his lack of objectivity and assigned him to go to New Orleans and cover the story. Cover the exact same case in which he just found O'Keefe guilty without a trial and sentenced him to jail!
Is this the kind of journalism that was pioneered by Chet Huntley and David Brinkley? The standard that Tom Brokaw stood for? Or does this mean the tendentious demagoguery of Keith Olbermann is now infesting even MSNBC's so-called 'straight news' hours?
If there's anyone who shouldn't cover a court case, it's someone who has publicly declared the defendant guilty ahead of time. And yet of all the 'journalists' at A-Mess-NBC whom do they pick for the assignment? The one who has a conflict of interest more glaring than a freshly buffed diamond tiara on the Bonevian Salt Flats at high noon. It's almost like Keith Olbermann is making the decisions at MSNBC. Oh wait, that can't be. Can it?
If MSNBC permits Shuster to cover this case as a 'reporter', it will relinquish any shred of respectability that may remain after all the embarrassments of Edward R Olbermann.
What say you? Discuss, resolve, and then recap tonight's atrocious Hour of Spin. Comments are open!
Note: In yesterday's ratings, A-Mess-NBC's primetime line-up finished in a dismal fourth-place in the all-important, nothing-else-matters, critical, key "money demo". Bill O'Reilly outpointed the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann by nearly five to one, and Olby even lost to Nancy Grace again. (No doubt Grace's increasing tendency to grab more of these viewers than Oralmann accounts for Keith's increasing tendency to attack Nancy Grace as he has done this week.)
Well now it's coming out that there may be less to this story then originally believed and there where no charges of wiretapping and so calling this Watergate Jr. may be wrong on so many levels. it may in up that O'Keefe and his associates may end up just getting a lecture from the Judge.
But it's really telling where the MSM lead by MSNBC are at..they convict O'Keefe without any proof of anything but still call the "Underwear Bomber" the "alleged" Terrorist. New Murrows indeed.
Well, it's been about 2 weeks since the earthquake in Haiti and Olby's numbers continue to fall. As he becomes more unhinged the numbers continue to plummet. He was hurt by the earthquake in Haiti but the Scott Brown attack and the unbelievable bias on election night has REALLY hurt them. I suspect their "Louisiana Watergate" coverage will be over the top and drive away more viewers. Olby is digging himself a pretty deep hole thus I suspect he will ratchet up the attacks (if that is possible) in hopes of regaining some viewers.
Is this the same David Shiterster that said Carl Rove and Cheney being hauled out of the WH in cuffs? I guess we will have to wait till a Republican wins in 012 for that to happen..
This is a joke! I bet Shitster is hittign up the whore house down there..and not the ones with the ladies..
I can just see it, shitster saying to himself " David, this your chance, dont blow it, Im sick of being Olbemanns buttboy..IM SICK of it..="
Oh great Shitster is Hard Ball!
Shyster will do everything in his power to turn this into the story of the year...with prodding and conspiracy theories from Obly that high ranking Republicans must be involved.
Ok can someone produce a flow chart from KO opening rant?
Ok how did GWB and Dick CHeney not end up at the end of that insane rant..
Even Shister seems depressed aobut this "scandel"
BOMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
I spoke to early Karl Rove name brought up byu John Dean..Im serious!
Hey Keith ever hear of John Edwards?
ok we are up to 20 minutes on this story
Quoting Roosevelt. Uh...Roosevelt is Dead Keith, like your career. When you heard that speech, didn't it sound like Hitler? :) The cheering that is. And what is the over/under tonight of Pelosi's horrible aerobics everytime Obama breathes.
Pelosi prairie dogs: O/U 18
I really wonder what its like to have someone (consers/repbus) to blame for every evil in the world. wonder what i would be like. I suspect that olbertard is the product of that. Glad I dont then. How much more must the world suffer this duchebag. if not for us for the childern RESIGN SIR AND SHUT THE HELL UP

Pelosi leapt to her foot and peg leg a whopping (by my count) 47 times!
WOW!
Blew out my over and under. So much for my Las Vegas career!
Was I the only one that cringed when Matthews spoke about race? What an ass.
The leg Chrissy Mathews open mouth, insert foot.

So THE LEG just said he forgot the president is black for a hour?
WOW! Should we book the honeymoon suite?
Chris will get a pass.
Liberals always do.
James O'Keefe will not be convicted of a fellony. At the most he will get a slap on the wrist for trespassing. If this were a democrat ( Van Jones) ( Robert Creamer ** Felon) he would already be working in the white house. The balls of Bertha Lewis, who should be in a prison cell, complaining about O'Keefe because he has her merry band of crooks on tape stealing money from the government.
There is a good round-up on the so called "Watergate Jr." story, including a retraction by the Washington Post, over at Petterico's Pontifications. I wonder if slippery or olby will offer a retraction of their own? Doubtful.
http://patterico.com/2010/01/27/law-enforcement-official-no-wiretap-attempt-by-okeefe/
LOL! Johnny Law says O'Keefe wasn't trying to wire tap anyone. Can you say slap on the wrist. Watergate!! LoL.
Those nut jobs over at Salon.com and that messed up teeth, head tilting editor in chimp, Joan Walsh's buddies put up an articile, 'bout their soon to be kicked out leader.

funniest line on there, was one of her followers said of Obama, "it's like he's back!"
Oh he's back alright. Up against the wall for a republican cavity search performed by the Supreme Court. "ok, bend over!"
Olbermahn and his "Watergate"
McCain's "mistress" was simply hate
"Breaking News" Keith will botch
Great thanks, Olby Watch
Because Keith never gets the facts straight
Seems are favorite Olby defender, who thinks that stupid white people should be shot in the back of the head. Is trying to defend his buddy.

The Real Royal King says:
January 27, 2010 at 12:04 pm
..... “Sex-crazed”? The Mackris deal seems to be far more troubling than FOX has ever made it out to be. A very good argument can be made O’Reilly ought to have been fired over that episode. I’m not sure most reputable companies would have continued O’Reilly in their employ in light of the very, very troubling aspect of that episodic incident."
Really now? We have an episode with O'Reilly and an ex-worker and we have a pattern.
Well we have Olby with Suzy Kobler locking herself in a bathroom to get away from him. & Olby stalking Rebbeca Lobo. How about a rambling message Olby left on Mary Cary's voice mail? Also let's not forget that 'Karmabites thing'. How about his current live-in girlfriend that he was visiting way, way, back in the day.
Oh but with O'Reilly we have a patttern with one episode and he should be fired. Yeah okay.
Olbermahn's viewers are bailing
Because he's profusely inhaling
His psychotic rants
Cannot advance
His bad ratings (i. e. he's failing)
In 2 days we already know more about O'Keefe and his pals then we knew about Barack Obama 2 days before the election. Great vetting Keith! Maybe next time try vetting the most liberal and inexperienced democrat nominee for president in history.
ENOUGH! RESIGN!

From Newsbusters: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/julia-seymour/2010/01/28/keith-olbermann-touts-man-who-created-50-green-jobs-stimulus-cash
50 jobs for $99 million? If my math is correct, that is almost 2 million dollars per job. It amazes me that people like Olby just throw around a number like $99 million like it's no big deal.
You gotta love how Obama, Pelsoi, Reid and Olbermann think it's just a great idea to spend your tax dollars on a green job at $2 million a clip.
Also from NewsBusters: Matthews: Obama Policies 'Conservative,' Dems 'Created' Middle Class.
I have a quick WPitW recap: Worse was CNN because they compared John King's show to "SportsCenter," because Lord Olbermahn is the foremost authority on ESPN, "SportsCenter," and anything with Bristol in the name. Worser was Bill Shine, and by extension, FNC. Fixed News! [Ding!] More lies about Haiti coverage. FNC ignored O'Keefe (OlbyLie)! Something about some anti-Obama Facebook page out of Indonesia. Worst was a handful of conservatives supposedly turning on Sarah Palin because she's backing John McCain for re-election in Arizona over J.D. Hayworth. Sister Sarah! [Ding!]
Katy Turic, thanks for the guffaw! Olby "profusely inhaling" !! If he starts snorting any harder, he could lose another stapler.
So if I'm right, Fourth place in the Demo Tuesday Night. And Fourth place again for the Demo last night.

Breitbart puts a size 13 up Robin's ass!
Still railing on the O'Keefe story tonight...
So today's Olbylogic goes as follows (see if you can follow along without vomiting all over your keyboard)
The Acorn officers shown in the original videos weren't acting unethically because
1) People living in the inner city don't have a voice in politics, SO
2) Acorn is the only outlet for poor people, SO
3) So that makes O'Keefe anti-American because he doesn't like poor people having a voice in politics.
Of course, he conveniently ignores the fact that the districts O'Keefe visited are dominated by DEMOCRATS! That's right, it's O'Keefe's fault that inner city Democrats don't give a rats ass about their constituents!
And after that crapfest, he had to invite Chris Hayes and Greg Mitchell on to reaffirm Olby's status as a dignified "journalist". BathTub boy even had the audacity to say "As a journalist, you can possess views and still maintain journalistic integrity." What's the justification for this statement? Some lie about how MSNBC went easy on McCain during 2008 as well as MSNBC ignoring the ACORN story because they deemed it too partisan.
This jackass isn't fooling anybody anymore. Hopefully his ratings drop below 600,000 a night and he is never allowed to spew his venom on TV.
It's like beucase of this deal with O'Keefe, those ACORN tapes are now magically untrue.
Breitbart destoryed Shitster on MSDNC. It is a must watch.

New entry into the Edward R. Olbermann dictionary for inciting a race war.
The words "cocky, arrogant, flippant and punk" are now racist code words the vast right-wing conspiracy uses to insult Obama. Everybody, make sure you update your cable news lexicon so you fully know when Olbermann is blowing smoke out of his ass and has no actual point to make.
After that a$$ kicking Andrew gave Robin, I wonder if shitster is in his hotel room crying like a little girl?

MSNBC slut Contessa Brewer gets owned by Senator Judd Gregg.
Hey I caught something at the end of the O'Keefe story. Who ever the chuckel head guest commenting on the story said something AMAZING! He said something to the affect about the people who live in the poor arera, the people ACORN "represents" there was a comment to the affect that the people that represent them ( I'm assuming he meant their legislative representatives) well they are not represetned very good by these people. Ok well who represents these poor people in congress and state level, local? LIBERALS! LIBERALS! LIBERALS!
LOL I love liberals, its ok for say The late not so great Senator Edward Morehouse Kennedy, that took to the Seante floor after Regean nominated Robert Bork and proceded to trash him! That is what started this war over judicial appointess!
HA! KEith got smacked down by Howard Notsofineman, Fineman actually stuck up for ALito! LOL!
Will KO give Obama WPITW award for not support funding the 9/11 health bill.?

He went after Brown for not wanting to give State Workers who were 9/11 volunteers vacation time..so I'm sure this will outrage him more right?New Murrow indeed.
Hey Keith i want an example of a pres attacking the Supremes while they are sitting in the well of the peoples house during the SOTUS??? Of course the Pres has ever right to be critial of SCOTUS, just not during a speach before COngress while the justices are sitting there..if he does then does the Justices have a right to have some reaction! And why was chuckey Schumer sitting right be the court? HMMMMM!

WPiTW: for Thursday
as a aside, I hope Robin can find a proctologist in NO. Help him get that boot Briebart put up out his ass.
Bronze: Rove and Doocey- for attacking David Axlerod and attack Regan and GWB.
Silver: Gulinani- cause Obama didn't mention 'war', saddly olby has a point. But doesn't make him worst person.
Gold Beck, Stossle and four others- for dare calling Obama 'cocky' or 'arrogant'. Calls them all racists. Makes the point from a above post. New code words for racists.
Just fucking amazing. This man cannot be that daft. Can't any of these guys sue Olby or MSNBC for calling them racist?
I mean, really!
oh yeah, Another award winning countdown and only 5 days til Goddess Megyn Kelly's new show.
So now anybody who agrees with Alito's shake of his head is "just too stupid".
Count in Linda Greenhouse of the New York Times, a known lefty that constantly sides with the liberal side of the court. When is this liberal former sportscaster hack going to acknowledge that the majority of Americans have no problem with the ruling and that there actually is a ban on foreign financing? It's over Keith, even the New York Times is admitting that Obama went way over the line last night.
And now he is parading out an essay that Reagan wrote and a speech that Bush made which attacked SCOTUS over Roe. v. Wade. What this pathetic waste of carbon won't tell you is that Reagan and Bush's comments WERE NOT MADE DURING THE STATE OF THE UNION. Every single news story I have read regarding this fiasco is at least sensible enough to note that the Supreme Court are dignified guests during the State of Union. They are not required to attend, and they typically show up to portray national unity. They don't show up to get heckled about a majority decision which upheld the 1st Amendment.
Finally, I believe that John Stossel has now entered the status of "racist old white guy". The other victims of his lies have been called racist before by Edward R. Olbermann, but I believe this is one of the first times he has specifically called Stossel a racist. Why is Stossel a racist? He said that Obama looked arrogant during his speech.
Hey Keith if a white sporrts broadcaster says an NFL player running back runing back a kickoff, makes the infrence that particular player eats "chicken" and "waffles" kind of like colarad greens and watermeleon...hummm who said that oh thats? right the white sports broadcaster was in fact Keith Olberman on Sept 27 2007! Would that make that broadcaster a raceist? YES! Well by the standards he sets for everyone else!!
Keith's lies are increasing at an exponential rate. He's using his prior lies as a basis for ten more new lies. At the present rate, he'll soon be the President of the United States.
Long time lurker .. and long time KO hater... finally got log in credentials and hope to contribute from time to time to call out the utter smear and lies of bath tub boy.
BTW - going to Miami for superbowl with camcorder in tow and hope to run in to lard ass and wish him well.
Not to nitpick, but it was a punt, not a kickoff.
Meanwhile, two NewsBusters links:
James O'Keefe Makes Olbermann Worry About 'Journalistic Integrity' [in #5B].
Grasping at Straws [in WPitW]: Olbermann Claims Obama 'Arrogant' Label a Racist Euphemism.
From the first link, some Olbermann Lies:
"I mean, here, we have defended right-wingers when the facts bore it out. We've dropped stories, like trying to prove a negative when I say this, but we've dropped stories when our own fact-checking determined that, you know, John McCain was getting a bum rap, aspects of this very story have been, you know, left on the proverbial cutting room floor because they weren`t true. So, we didn't report them.
That's the distinction. You leave out what turns out not to be true. You don't bury what turns out to be true, and just doesn't fit your story."
If you believe any of that, you might be an OlbyFan.

“You‘ll often hear Rachel Maddow and I lumped in together with Jon Stewart of ‘The Daily Show’ as the only truth-tellers in mainstream television.”
Holy shit.

I seriously could not hate this man any more than I already do.
I've said this before, but people that play the race card when it doesn't apply are the equivalent of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. So, consider Keith the Bully Who Cried Race.
Jay Nordlinger has replied to WPitW at National Review.
Mike C.,
I've said it before too. When a person (black or white) resorts to playing the race card with no factual evidence they have lost the battle. It's an act of desperation because you cannot debate with facts.
Olby has used the race card so many times (crying wolf) that it no longer carries any weight. It really didn't carry any weight to begin with because we all know he is a liar and a hypocrite.
Olbermann consistently plays the race card along with name calling and juvenile smears. That's his M.O. because he will not debate and does not have any facts to make an intelligent argument.
It looks like the 'Three Stooges' of MSNBC primetime might be doing a two hour special tonight. Whoopie!
Better to have something since it looks like their 'Watergate Jr.' story is about to crash and burn.
