PRIMETIME - PUTTING LIPSTICK ON OLBERMANN

I suppose the following will be read by some-to-many as a pandering defense of Rupert Murdoch, my boss. I'll risk it.

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, on countless occasions, has ripped Murdoch. Olbermann detests Murdoch's politics and he's never shy to let viewers, bloggers, interviewers and passersby know. Groovy.

If only Olbermann, during these anti-Murdoch sessions, would throw in, no matter how briefly, that Murdoch's politics are no different from what they were in November, 1998, when Olbermann went to work for Murdoch's Fox Sports Net.

Nothing like a good anti-Olberman article to start the day.

Yeah, except I hate the word ‘Groovy’.

I know people who worked at ESPN when Olberman did, and he is HATED to the core there, too!

It's too bad that Mr. Olberman doesn't know that Murdoch is liberal, heavily supported the Labour Party in Australia, has hosted fundraisers for Sen. Shrillary, and started Fox News as fair and balanced as a business decision to offer what the other networks were not.

Honestly, I think that a fat lip and a black eye would look much better on this Anti-American dweeb. I would be more than willing and happy to apply the treatment.

This clown appears to not be on anyones popularity list. A real sleazy one at best.
