    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    July 13, 2010
    Day Four of Keith Olbermann's Ongoing Lie...UPDATE: Not!

    Bathtub Boy

    It was Friday when the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann broadcast falsehoods. (Actually it's every day, but we're dealing with one particular example here.) As usual, he lifted them from a blue blog, didn't bother to fact check, and then put them on the air as "news". Unfortunately, his habit of parroting sites like Think Propaganda came back to bite him again, as Politifact exposed his blatherings as wildly, utterly false.

    Herr Olbermahn was confronted about his laughable nonexistent fact-checking on Friday when, as we reported yesterday, he admitted he was utterly wrong and promised that the correction would come that night.

    Friday. Monday. Now it's Tuesday, four days later. Edward R Olbermann could have corrected the false information and shown the merest modicum of journalistic ethics. Instead he chose to let the untruths stand without acknowledging or correcting them. If we give him the benefit of the doubt that originally he was merely lazy and inept in not checking the facts, he now knows what he said was untrue. And he's allowing it to stand. In other words, he's turned what may have been just another instance of his pitiable "journalistic" skills into an ongoing lie.

    Perhaps Olbermann Watch will have sufficiently humiliated Keith Olbermann that he will slip a perfunctory correction into tonight's Hour of Spin. But we wouldn't suggest betting the house on that possibility. Keith Oralmann would rather be wrong, than do right.

    Comments are open!

    UPDATE: Our mistake, but we have an excuse. We checked the MSNBC transcripts for both Friday and yesterday, and there was no correction from Olbermann in either case. However, we didn't reckon with the incompetence of MSNBC's web team. Just go to the transcripts page and read the transcript for Friday, July 9. No correction, no mention of the gas/oil subsidies at all. Why is that? Because while msnbc.com claims it is the transcript for Friday July 9, it is in fact the transcript for Thursday July 8. The actual Friday transcript isn't posted at all!

    KO did make a correction on Friday night, as politifact notes in their article. Our fault for assuming msnbc's website to be reliable. Our apologies to Keith. We correct our mistakes, and it's good to know that in this case, he did too. Now if he could just admit he was wrong about Lincoln's elections...

    All of a sudden: WPITW

    Bronze: Classic Rand Paul statement. From Kentucky Public Television a few years ago. Says we can't afford Social Security and Medicare. WE CAN'T KEITH!!! We are going broke. Says bye to Rand. And the way the polls are going in Kentucky, unfortanly he might be right.

    Silver: David Vitter- for supposedly being a 'birther'. I didn't see it, but Keith sees all.

    GOLD: RUSHBO!!! For trashing Steinbrenner by praising his greed!! Calls Rush racist. All Rush did was hold the mirror up to liberals. And they didn't like what they saw.

    GOODIE!!! 20 minutes about how important Steinbrenner is to both Olby and Burns. DEAR FREAKING GOD!! MAKE IT STOP!!!

    How else do you interpret Rush's comments regarding Steinbrenner?

    And if you cry context, http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201007130033

    Holding up the mirror to liberals and as usual they don't like what they saw. Keithy-poo can't stand his own reflection.

    Hey, Mr. Drive-By, how about that correction?

    Politifact says Olbermann corrected this in his July 9 show.

    Postscript: On his show on July 9, 2010, Olbermann acknowledged the error:

    "One last note on the subject of oil. An apology and thank you, apologies to you for getting this wrong this past Tuesday.

    "We said the oil and gas industry gets 88 percent of all federal subsidies. Not true. A report by the Center for American Progress concluded that 88 percent of federal subsidies to oil and gas came in the form of tax breaks and credits and so forth. We all misread it. The buck stops here so I apologize for passing on the wrong info to you.

    "Cutting oil and gas subsidies would save $45 billion, but that's over 10 years, not in the one year we reported. So, our apologies again -- and our thanks to PolitiFact.com which brought this to light and guessed correctly that we misread the report, and our thanks to them for only rating our report "false" rather than their other option 'pants on fire.'"

    That man (keech overlybutt) is an idiot!! There was absolutely nothing but nice and praise in what Limbaugh said. Keech, you think your opinion is unique and important, when really it's brainless bull crap. You tell more damn lies than any ten politicians, and those idiots you march in there every night to parrot your ignorance are just as bad. Geez! Why didn't George take you with him!!

    "Holding up the mirror to liberals and as usual they don't like what they saw. Keithy-poo can't stand his own reflection."

    Oh, so it was "satire" huh? What if Sarah Palin died and KO made similar comments? You'd be demanding for his resignation (again), satire or not.

    "There was absolutely nothing but nice and praise in what Limbaugh said."

    Did you even listen to what he said?

    http://mediamatters.org/limbaughwire/2010/07/13

    "With the death of legendary New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner today, Limbaugh had what he must have thought was the perfect opportunity to open his show with a little good old-fashioned race-baiting, saying that Steinbrenner -- "that cracker," as Limbaugh called him -- "made a lot of African-American millionaires." Limbaugh later stated that Steinbrenner "knew when to die," because there is currently no estate tax."

    And it includes direct quotes. Tell me how that is praise. The headline they used describes it best: "Limbaugh Uses Steinbrenner's Death As An Opportunity For Race-Baiting"

    If you want to listen to what a George Steinbrenner tribute is supposed to sound like, listen to KO's #2 and #1 stories.

    I heard it fine wussy. You wanted to hear 'racism' and no amount of truth will move you.

    MKDAWUSS, once again you ignore the fact that Olbermann lied again and try to smokescreen it with stories about "those nasty cons".

    Troll doesn't even begin to describe you.

    WUSS do you ever use sources outside of Media Matters, the "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."?

    Oh, right, how could I forget Daily Kos.

    I wish this site had a J$P-style Exile Island.

    MKDAWUSS, I watched the video and listened closely again and I stand by my first impression. There was nothing hateful, racist or anything bad in what Russ said. You have to listen to the tone and inflection of his words; that's what gives us the ability to communicate. He intoned with levity but in a praiseful way. The only ear to find fault with what Russ said is one with a mouth that can only spew swill. You need to find an honorable hero and leave that swamp scum at MSNBC to their orgy of hate. Surely you don't want to get any of that claptrap on you. The only way to be cleansed is by exorcism.

    No offense J$, but you really screwed the pooch on that one. But I guess I shouldn't say much considering I fell for it as well.

    Of course WUSS just believed it also. He wasn't even smart enough to realize this error and throw it back in our faces so I guess he won't say anything either.

    Before you do try to talk WUSS, just remember if you're gonna say "See, Keith does correct his mistakes!", there are plenty of examples to prove he doesn't.

    And if you're gonna say "O'Reilly, etc. don't" try to prove it without using Media Matters, the "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."

    Yup, I agree. The only thing to do is be honest and fess up.

    You realize Rush was making fun of the reverse racism that's at the heart of the New Black Panther controversy, right? That guy saying he hates "Crackers." Rush is simply pointing out that this "Cracker" helped black people, thus showing how stupid the NBP guy is.

    But the morons at Media Matters can't comprehend the subtleties of it. Just look at the Media Matters comment section for that video. Row after row of complete idiots ranting about wanting to limit Rush's right to free speech. Staggering idiocy is the norm at Media Matters.

    Oh, I forgot. Liberals think minorities who are ancestors of people who may have been wronged according to a modern moral view have a right at revenge at the ancestors of white people. BS. So we can't show black people being racist since that just inflames white racism. Huh? That's the same attitude Obama is employing to lose the war on terror.

    That's the missing context of that video.

    It's not even all that subtle though.

    It's pretty obvious what he's driving at. Although I thought the broader point he was making was about capitalism in general.

    I really don't see anything wrong with his comments at all. And I read some of the comments at Media Matters. Shocking stuff. If you don't like him, don't listen. Why would anyone want the FCC or NAACP to "crack down" on speech?

    Watch Olby's head EXPLODE tonight. Bristol Palin and Levi Johnson just got engaged. How much you wanna bet Keith will throw in a 'shotgun wedding' blast at the Palins tonight?

    Poor Keith, always a brides maid, never a bride.

    "Bristol Palin and Levi Johnson just got engaged."

    Bring in Michael Musto.

    "You realize Rush was making fun of the reverse racism that's at the heart of the New Black Panther controversy, right?"

    What is "reverse racism" anyway? If one race attacks another race based on that race, it's racism no matter the two races.

    Wrong WUSS, wrong. Liberals believe that only white people and non white conservatives are racist. Any blacks or hispanics that express hatred for white people or non white conservatives are applauded and viewed as "justified" in their beliefs. Don't believe me? How about the NAACP leadership branding a black assault victim as an "Uncle Tom" because he was selling anti Obama buttons. That's just one recent example. Another example is MSNBC, with their all white lineup. Olbermoron attacks FOX for being racist, but FOX has far more diversity then MSNBC will ever have. Still, the MSNBC liberals don't give a reason for their all white lineup except "well, we are liberals, so we aren't racist".
