We don't always agree with Keith Olbermann, but that doesn't mean we don't respect him. The dude landed some solid tail back in the day. He still does, probably, and good for him. But that's not why he's being honored as a Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year. Not exactly.
We chose to recognize Olbermann for speaking his truth after years of suffering in silence, and for highlighting a very real but much-forsaken segment of the population: Battered men.
We are often quick to dismiss them. We stigmatize and scorn them with mockery. That needs to change, and maybe it will now that a celebrity of Olbermann's magnitude has outed himself as a male survivor of domestic abuse.
Olbermann was understandably disgusted after watching his sort of attractive ex-lover, MSNBC anchor Katy Tur, bully her husband into getting a vasectomy and turning it into a feminist publicity stunt. He had to speak out. "Bringing this up is obviously painful for me," Olbermann confessed on his Countdown podcast. "That's why I have not done it over the course of 15 years, but I've just had enough." He was beaten by a woman.
"I have remained silent even though six days after my emergency appendectomy in 2007, [Tur] started punching and slapping me, with real intent to do harm, because the living room wasn't clean enough," Olbermann testified on the airwaves. He went on to describe how Tur, his live-in girlfriend from 2006 to 2009, exploited his professional success to advance her own career. Female sociopaths often behave this way toward their victims. It is commonly known as "reverse grooming," "ambition grinding," "C-suite slopjousting," or simply "pulling a Kamala."
Olbermann explained how Tur continued to exert coercive control over him long after the relationship ended. He paid her rent for a year after she moved out so she could stay in New York. He paid off her student loans. He introduced her to all the right people. He got her booked on shows. He edited "nearly every one" of her scripts for MSNBC, sometimes rewriting them from scratch. He contributed intellectual research for her book about Donald Trump.
At long last, Olbermann stood up for himself. She asked him to write the entire book for her and he refused. And though few would argue that Keith's courage in that moment was commensurate to that of the American boys who stormed the beaches on D-Day, they are in fact no different. Because until society starts treating battered men with the dignity they deserve, predators like Tur will never stop.
We believe you, Keith, because men deserve to be believed. We already knew Katy Tur was a talentless dimwit. MSNBC wouldn't have hired her otherwise. We applaud your staggering bravery, your willingness to face down demons and confront your abuser. Now we know what a heartless monster she really is.
May his story be an inspiration to all men who suffer in silence under the yoke of female tyranny, yearning to breathe free. Thank you, Keith Olbermann, you're a Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year.

Pretty common nowadays. When claim they have been abused for so long and its her time. And they trample all over their husbands, and take advantage of them. Take off on their own vacations, demand you pay for it, they claim they need “girl time”. Buy me a new car, new house, and then they don’t include you in outings, and belittle you in front of your friends. I have watched this happen with 3 couples we have known over the years. What happened? Well, the women have bought into the guise that they are “victims” and men are pigs. Two of the couples are now looming towards divorce. And the women blame it all on their husbands who have been faithful and hard working the entire time. They say “Its time for me to find out what I want in life” another excuse for “they want to get laid by a younger man and have their husbands pay for it
Does everybody realize that this is tongue in cheek, meant not to honor Keefe but to embarrass and disparage him? Perhaps too subtly…..
Apparently not to those who just read headlines................
As you point out, while men may be physically stronger than women (on average ... I would not want to take on a ghettopotimus), women are much more likely to use weapons, or surrogates ( calling police and making false accusations to try to ruin the man’s life)
“Battered”, no.
More like p#ssy whipped.

Sounds like they deserved each other.
Talentless dimwit? How much talent does it take to stand and talk?
I see part of her problem...
“MSNBC anchor Katy Tur said she was “puzzled” when her now-estranged father — legendary journalist Bob Tur — told her he was transitioning to become a woman.
“My dad said, ”I am a woman’,” Katy Tur told CBS Sunday Morning, as she recounted their conversation from nearly a decade ago while promoting her upcoming memoir, “Rough Draft.” “
Agree with you 100%.
I encourage everyone to spend as much time as possible watching Dr Ramani. explain all aspects of Narcissism on YouTube.
Teach your kids.
Narcissists are everywhere and pure evil. Men are especially susceptible. Women narcissists throw their bodies at them replete with all the ego stroking necessary to set the trap. Then they get you to open up and use it all to blackmail you with your reputation.
For starters.
Then they just as easily align their flying monkeys against you. This is when it gets physically dangerous for you.
…and then you realize too late the kids were just necessary inconveniences to keep you paying for everything. She doesn’t love them and has been working behind the seems to separate them from you because of the pain she wants to inflict for the wonderful way it makes her feel.
This is happening everywhere and until Dr Ramani jumped on it, it had no name.
And all you wanted was a happy marriage and a nice family.
Either there are no women on staff at the Beacon, or they have a million dollar sense of humor. Olbermann will feign outrage, but secretly smile.
Regardless of the sex of the narcissist, that's a keeper.
And most likely completely inaccurate. Story is that back in the day someone had to go on air and do the Sports Center update for Keith. They found him crying under his desk because his on line girlfriend broke up with him.
I had to stop reading at this point… 😲
He was an idiot when he was a sports reporter in LA.
Poster boy for mental illness.
We used to have a word beta male cucks like Olberman
Oh yes, p****.
That’s the word.

What? I thought it was Rachel Levine!
Different mag.................
It’s easy to see the two main “talents” that have gotten her this far. Normally girls like her become Latina Weather Senoritas.
