Keith Olbermann Runs MSNBC, and Chris Matthews Is Infuriated As Reported by Fox News via You Tube

This guy Keith Olbermann has to be watched to be believed the way he foams at the mouth at the mere mention of Fox News,

But to really get the full scope of his terrifying MSM-instilled dementia is to see him gyrate in Hitler-like machinations hurling frothy-mouthed invective-laced insults as he directly targets, addresses the President in a frighteningly-freakish demeanor you'd swear appears as if his head was about to explode right there on live TV (if only).

The personal, pathologically-driven enmity demonstrated by Dan Rather-NOT against President Nixon and of course against the President is downright amicable compared to this backed-up effluent clogged toilet bowl rendition of a very disturbed entity on the very edge.

He’s playing to a niche market. Whether he believes his own drivel or not is irrelevant. There’s a hard-core leftist-loon audience out there and MSNBC has decided to be their network.

There is nothing wrong with Olbermann that a severe a$$ kicking wouldn’t improve upon....

The clown is long overdue for a brain housing group adjustment......which he has had up his a$$ for years.

He’s playing to a niche market.

It's not that 'niche' anymore.

Maybe he doesn't get big numbers, but his opinions are the same as the Marxist totalitarians who post on the Daily Kos... and in turn are courted by the potentates of the DNC and given plenty of exposure by the DBM. This 'niche' is being given perceived credibility by the DNC/DBM cabal... a luxury that sober conservatism is denied.

I think he has more viewers than Matthews. He should run the place. I would like to see him order Chrissy to get more TP for lavatories.

Not only are his opinions in consonance with the loons at Daily Kos; he is now a poster there (so says mediabistro.com). And of course, his “management” approves of his posting over there.

I think it’s GE that owns nbc/msnbc and if I were them, I’d either reign in their hate speech and lies, or sell. I’m stunned they even have advertisers still.

MSNBC is nothing but hate speech and lies from morning till night. Being a political prostitute seems to be a requirement to be employed by that network; hate america, hate the troops, hate the president — all prerequisites for employment. They disgust me.

I used to have a lot of GE stock. I sold it all a couple years ago, and one of the reasons was its ownership of NBC and thus MSNBC, both of which had given up any pretense of objectivity.

Matthews is probably mad because he thinks Olbermann is biased against the left.

Olbermann has such a large ego - he has a moving van carry it from home to work each day.

His spotty journey from hack to uber hack has landed him in a choice spot where his frothing loathsome delivery is being abetted by a ‘lost in the zone’ NBC News department - who in the alternative molded Katie Couric the syrup queen - to the far left madness of Keith the Fourth Reichmeister.

Media gone awry... the inmates have secured the asylum - jello for everyone.

A couple of months ago some guy was making a series of posts gloating about Olbermann’s fading ratings. He got quite snotty and upset when I pointed out the numbers in his own posts showed the audience was growing. The Olbermann audience may be schizoid nuts but they saved a fading cable news network and gave them steady and solid numbers to sell to advertisers.

It’s one of the prices we pay for 200 cable channels. The nutcase niche can actually get this sort of attention.

TLB - Olbermann’s choice of potential clients would be pharmaceuticals yes?

Anti-psychotics could be the primary push for his audience.

Olbermann actually kicked his own ass so badly one day that he spent time in the hospital recuperating from the blunt force head trauma he inflicted on himself.

I'm not joking, either.

almost all of these tv-morons vote democrap.

and they foam at the mouth at the mention of rush limbaugh, karl rove, george bush, etc.

since they read not, they’ve picked up their politics from tv.

A while back, MSNBC was going to dump him, but his ratings rose, so they kept him. The reason his ratings rose is ironic. He started ranting against Bill O’Reilly and instead of ignoring him O’Reilly punched back and so it went for a couple of weeks. It was like the Rosie O’Donnell, Donald Trumps thing. The fight between Olbermann and O’Reilly cause viewers to tune in the jerk, thus his ratings climbed.

If you observe Olbermann's modus operandi or more precisely the manifestations of his pathology you'll notice a very telling point that speaks volumes to the sort of callow, puerile non-entity he is as a legitimate news anchor.

Observe at what he takes perverse delight in, at what he chooses to discuss as newsworthy, of matters of the highest priority.

Not so much issues that concern Americans as much spending extremely valuable broadcast time to discuss the people that that he finds personally irksome for one reason or another.

How much of GE's and Microsoft's valauble broadcasting hour does he squander impugning the competition such as Bill O'Riley who manages to whup his puslianimous pink-pantied
sorry ass in the ratings, day-in,day-out?

How much time does he flush down the very effluent-clogged toilet bowl he speaks out from, through on his idiotic, juvenile-like segment

WORST PERSON OF THE DAY? or whatever time span he is actually able to discern.

The bottom line is that no legitimate, self-respecting, conscientious news reporter would diminish their self-identity, self-respect, would jeopardize their credentials and reputation to be anything less than be in the guise of an Edward R. Morrow but instead pass yourself off as some irreverent, jack-ass news-clown, more Saturday Night Live than a Chevy Chase, unless of course it is merely only the self-idealization he harbors of himself, he buffoonishness, his utter lack of class, of grace, his eqregiously poor sens of taste ,of tackiness, is actually a reflection of the utter loathsomeness he has for himself, as the

ANCHOR OF RANCOR

If it wren’t for Olberman or Bill Moyers, the leftist freaks at DU wouldn’t have representitives on TV. They love Olberman and despise Mathews (who they nicknamed as “Tweety”) because he is too “right wing” for them.

Since Dan Abrams (who used to have a legal Greta Van Sustern-esque show on MSNBC) became the head of prime time on MSNBC, everything is built around Olberman’s show.

Every time that stupid “Worst Person of The Day” segment airs during football, I find myself yelling at the TV,

“Takes one to know one you loser!”

okay, a little immature, but it feels so good. :-)

Oh noooooooooo he doesn’t! LMAO

And the less attention he & Chris “I joined the Peace Corps during the Viet Nam war ‘cause I didn’t have the balls to join the Marine Corps” Matthews is given, the better.

Actually they were insignificant before. But thanks to Olbermann they are a little less insignificant. That's progress I guess.

“This moron has just about doomed this silly network to insignificance...”

He had plenty of help - Phil Donohue’s nightly Bush Bash was disastrous, followed by John MacEnroe’s ratings black hole of sofa socialism, then rounded off by Connie Chung’s catastrophic off-key weekend song-and-dance with her half-wit of a husband.

Personally, I don’t see how Rick Kaplan can hold up his head, but apparently he can - now he’s trying desperately to bring credibility to Herr Couric.

Why do they call it the “boob tube”? Because boobs like Olbermann can claim success with an NATIONAL audience number that is not even close to the the Top 40 REGIONAL radio station that I grew up listening to in the sixties? Because the people who operate and hire boobs like are Olberman are boobs? Or it that the reals boobs are the ones on the other side of the tube giving boobs like him an audience? Newton Minnow called televison a “vast wasteland”. At least in those days unpleasant characters like Eddie Haskell were fictional. Olberman is much less pleasant than Eddie Haskell and he is being rewarded with a fair amount of fame and fortune.
