Anyone seen Michael Savage-MSNBC's The Savage Nation lately?
Memo to MSNBC: Keep sending out the Losers. You should have gotten smart and put Joe Scarborough in that time slot...IDIOT Olbermann....HAHAHAHAHA
I read the book that he and Dan Patrick wrote about their time together on SportCenter for ESPN, and it was pretty good. Olbermann was a Clintonoid for sure, but he detests some of the same things in sports that most of the members of FR reject as unsportsmanlike.
He doesn't look anything like what I pictured.
He also doesn't make any more sense on TV than he does on radio.
What's the attraction?
He's a loud-mouthed boor, with the intellect of a retarded chimp.
Let us have a look at "The Record" concerning this miserable Liberal-Socialist sleeze bag; and, let us further speculate on why -- like a bad penny -- It keeps coming back.
"This marks the third time Olbermann has worked for MSNBC [said] President Erik Sorenson."
Here's the root of the problem, nic.
Behind every Danny Rather, Tom Brokejaw, or Petah Jennin's there's an Eric Sorenson floating about; although, there's still one or more *layers* above these clowns.
The real people behind this Liberal-Socialism one will never see. Ever.
Still?
If the nation's to ever be rid of the shameless shilling sycophants the Liberal-Socialist braintrust have picked & continue to -- in spite of repeated rejection(s) -- shove down our throats?
Than it's the "Eric Sorenson"s at the nets -- cable or otherwise -- where such an effort must start.
Getting rid of this Liberal-Socialist blight must become the primary focus of any organised effort to bring sanity back to television journalism; assuming, there ever were any.
"That includes Olbermann's tenure at MSNBC starting in summer '97, not long after he walked out of ESPN, prompting one ESPN official to comment, 'He didn't burn the bridges here, he napalmed them.'"
Whadda ya wanna guess Obermann attempted to bring his *brand* of Liberal-Socialist 'Rat politics into the arena of sports broadcasting; &, he was told - in no uncertain terms -- to cease & desist.
"Before ESPN, Olbermann worked as a sportscaster at KCBS in Los Angeles for then-general manager Erik Sorenson."
See how this clown's influnce works?
Sounds like a "Socialist's Boys Club," for chrissakes.
"'He's edgy, he's got attitude, he's hip, he's clever, he's a good writer,' Sorenson said yesterday."
Obermann's a nuerotic boor of the 1st order.
Keith Obermann's a *virtual* "Frankenstein" monster who has been proven to either scare away viewers OR cause 'em to drift into a very, deep sleep.
What's more, Keith Obermann seems to cause sponsors to disappear as if he were some kind of a Houdini, run amok.
"Nineteen months ago he (Sorenson) called Olbermann 'the Gary Sheffield of broadcasting' -- a reference to the talented, much-traded slugger who is considered clubhouse poison. Of course, Sorenson said that during one of those periods when Olbermann wasn't actually working for him."
But then here Obermann shows up once again, eh?
This in light of the much publisized "Come To Jesus'" [read: threat(s) to turn it around, or else] the Sorenson character's recieved from PMSNBC brass??
This sot's *thick*, alright.
Am I the only one who gets the feeling there're debts being repaid within the Liberal-Socialist entertainment industry for the loyalty these *personalities* have shown by going out on the limb -- career-wise -- for the "Big" Liberal-Socialists who're behind the scenes, calling the shots?
Sure has that kind of smell to me, alright.
"All things considered, MSNBC and Olbermann are a match made in heaven; the network changes strategies about as often as he changes jobs."
Nonesense!!
As long as Eric Sorenson remained at this pathetic sewer, nothing has "changed" -- fundementally or otherwise -- & it ain't gonna.
"Olbermann said he isn't concerned about MSNBC's ever-changing game plan, because parent NBC has already announced he [read: Obermann] will host the cable network's Summer Olympics coverage in '04. NBC will telecast about 800 hours of Summer Games, 600 of which will be brought to you on MSNBC and CNBC. It would be pretty embarrassing for MSNBC to sack him this year and have to bring him back for the Games, Olbermann joked..."
Keep joking, Laughing Boy.
"CNN considered giving Olbermann the 8 p.m. time period during his last, brief stint there. The network went with Connie Chung instead; it canceled her show last week."
Imagine that?
Being passed over for the *likes* of Connie Chung.
...or is it more *likely* that's what CNN said was their reason?
