Keith Olbermann: not necessarily the news (Mancow waterboarding faked?)
Miami Herald ^ | 05/29/08 | Free America

Posted on 05/29/2009 2:53:47 PM PDT by Free America52

I dunno, maybe actual NBC reporters don't want to come on Keith Olbermann's show since he took to bellowing insults at them on the air while anchoring the network's coverage of the Republican convention last year. Whatever the reason, he's now apparently resorted to faking stories. The media-news site Gawker has been reporting for two days that the video of waterboarding you can see up above was faked. And, Gawker adds (though, it should be noted, without attribution), Olbermann knew it.

Oh, probably not... as long as you START when you’re still in your “20’s”. (Too late for me...grin)

Lol, too late for most of us although we seem to have an abundance of 2008 and 2009 newbies and the language is getting worse here.

Yeah, but language won’t have anything to do with it. I do worry about the intenet.

There is an FR thread about Ø/WH restricting verbal or other contacts with public officials - esp. concerning Ø-Simulated/Stimulous

“Freedom to Petition”

I’m not sure if it is true or bogus

It is obviously unconstitutional - unless Obama suceeds in packing SCOTUS as FDR attempted to do

I hope Rush and others like him are getting out the news that Obama is flip flopping on most of his campaign promises. Now I see he changed his mind about Lobbyist.

Backtracking on Iraq, Afghanistan, still trying to close Gitmo and now asking the Australians to take them, lolol.

Clinton promised all sorts of stuff about lobbyists too

He lied and got away with it and got reelected

So Obama had a precedent
