From the New York Post today, May 19, 2008 — IS Keith Olbermann, MSNBC’s top-rated anchor, on the verge of yet another professional meltdown? His feuding with “Hardball” host Chris Matthews is nothing new. But now we’re told notoriously odd Olbermann is lashing out at the rest of his network’s talking heads. During West Virginia primary coverage the other night, Olbermann began pounding the table when lead White House reporter David Gregory didn’t wrap his segment quickly enough to satisfy him. Olbermann recently encouraged management to oust the cable channel’s lone conservative, Tucker Carlson, and it’s also no secret among producers that Olbermann refuses to introduce Dan Abrams’ show, which follows his own. Olbermann walked out of MSNBC years ago in a huff after also blowing up at ESPN, so TV insiders are curious if this recent behavior is a sign that history will repeat itself. MSNBC did not respond to our calls and e-mails seeking comment.

LOL, I wish I could take credit! This “troll rant” has been on the net for years, I just tweaked it for Olbermann.

All this does is make oberpuke and the others worse. They get off on their so-called power, getting all this attention.

That's all I need to know. The rest of this stuff about O'Reilly and Olberdork is so much fluff to me. GE is doing business with the enemy.

Yep.

He does it to try and belittle others. He is a weak man that fails in the bedroom (According to most of his conquests). That certainly explains why he is such a bitter man.

He is also jealous of BOR - because people actually watch his show.

You can just hear these Democrat traitors after we go in and take the mullahs out. “We (the U.S.) sold them these weapons. We have no right to blame then now!” Liberals are suicidal retards.

I have never watched this doofus. Not even a minute of him. But I get the feeling the only reason they keep him on the air is the same reason carnivals have geeks and freaks. There is a fascination there for the unwashed masses to stare in awe at lurid bizarreness.

One of the things I like best about the www is that, unless I really want it otherwise, it's completely silent. ;')
Ailes called Zucker on his cellphone last summer, clearly agitated over a slam against him by MSNBC host Keith Olbermann. According to sources familiar with the conversation, Ailes warned that if Olbermann didn't stop such attacks against Fox, he would unleash O'Reilly against NBC and would use the New York Post as well. Both Fox and the Post are owned by Murdoch, who complained about Olbermann's conduct in separate calls to Zucker and Immelt. The high-level appeals failed, and O'Reilly has escalated his criticism of GE in recent weeks, declaring, "If my child were killed in Iraq, I would blame the likes of Jeffrey Immelt." GE has long had a corporate presence in Iran, which U.S. officials say is providing weapons and training for Shiite militias in the Iraq conflict. Under growing criticism from the public and its own shareholders, GE announced in 2005 that it would accept no new business in Iran and would wind down existing contracts, which mostly involved sales of oil, gas and energy and health-care equipment. The remaining work, valued at less than $50 million, amounts to less than .01 percent of GE's income, and the company says the final four contracts will expire within weeks.

I accidentally saw part of this and I was sick to my stomach. Olbermann is a hate mongering sob.
