Keith Olbermann Shows His Left-Wing Bais Again

David Brock's Pack of Lies ^ | Monday August 22, 2005 | Some unknown liar, probably Brock himself

[TBP]

On August 19, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann pronounced nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh "once again, today's worst person in the world"

Olbermann named Media Research Center (MRC) president L. Brent Bozell III "a very close second" after the MRC accused Olbermann, in naming Limbaugh "worst person in the world" on his August 17 program, of distorting Limbaugh's August 15 statement.

And the source of this article is known to be one of the most lying sites on the Internet.

Keith, you should hvae stuck to sports. You know something about that. And you were good at it.

Osama bin Laden, Putin, the Butchers of Beijing, Zarqawi, and so many others are out there, and your "worst person in the world" is Rush Limbaugh? You're out of touch with reality!

Could this be some network's next anchor?

Olbmerman... Liberal?

Really?

Who is he again?

[Xenalyte]

The radio commercials for Olbermann's show are painful, with him warbling "Helleeeew!" and doing a hideous Michael Jackson impersonation.

Ugh.

[Stellar Dendrite]

never heard of him.

[TBP]

He should go back to Sports Center. He was good there.

Olbermann doesn't have a left wing bias. He is a left winger.

Would you say President Bush is beholden to the religious right? No, he is the religious right. Olbermann doesn't have left wing bias, he is the fringe left wing.

The Scoreboard: Thursday, August 18
Total viewers:

8pm: O'Reilly: 2,628,000 / Zahn: 585,000 / Grace: 588,000 / Countdown: 228,000 / Cover to Cover: 194,000

Donahue:
During this month, a "sweeps" month in which ratings are watched closely to set advertising rates, "Donahue" averaged 446,000 viewers. O'Reilly drew 2.7 million viewers, up 28 percent from February 2002, according to Nielsen Media Research.

So Olberman's ratings are about 1/2 of Donahue's when he got canned.

You know, if these people would spend their time concentrating on coming up with ideas to HELP America, and not on hating certain Americans....good things could result.

But then...THAT might actually be constructive!

[L98Fiero]

"never heard of him."

Me either. Well, until now.

[roses of sharon]

He is not biased, he is working for the DNC, he is an operative.

Very telling that he and others, ie Russert, continue to pretend, are they ashamed?

Or has their rouse worked so well they can't give it up?

[Kokojmudd]

He is that guy who got a job as MSNBC (whatever that is) anchorman (polishes anchors I think) through a government program funded by the highway bill.....or was it the enerby bill. Below is a picture of him.

[PeteB570]

Is Olbermann the fat guy or the skinny guy?

I never view those shows but see a quick peek now and again as I flip through the high end of the cable lineup.

[Huck]

Yeah, Olbermann and that blond guy used to be so funny on SportsCenter in the early 90s. They both got too big for their britches. Kilborn was the other guy.

[Moral Hazard]

"Keith, you should (sic)hvae stuck to sports..."

Ack, NO! With him safely installed at MSNBC nobody has to watch him (and it shows in the ratings). We don't want him ruining otherwise watchable sports coverage at ESPN or Fox Sports.

[Borges]

When he did Sportscenter with Dan Patrick they were hilarious together.

[BCrago66]

It's not bias if Olberman isn't pretending to present his view as an objective news story. It's opinion. So Olberman is a lefty, and a pompous one at that. Who cares?

[Williams]

I never like the posts that say "why do you watch that?" but Olbermann is so smarmy that I can't/ don't watch him. He's a typical wise *ss liberal.

[BonnieJ]

I remember when he first worked for MSNBC during the impeachment (and later quit) he was SO upset he had to cover the stories about Clinton's scandals. Now he simply makes them up about this administration!

ALL YOUR BAIS ARE BELONG TO US!
