Olberman (MSNBC) Apologizes for Republican Insensitivity (Puke)
MSNBC | 9/4/08 | Keith Olberman

Posted on 09/04/2008 5:57:12 PM PDT by XEHRpa

I was just watching MSNBC whining, because I refused to watch O'Reilly serving softballs to Obama. The RNC was showing a video tribute to the 9/11 victims.

After the tribute, Olby breaks back, and makes note that what he has to say is for our ears only, that he doesn't want to disturb his colleagues at the convention (Olby is in NY studio).

He then says, if any network showed these terrible disturbing images at such length, they would be skewered by everyone for their insensitivity, including the RNC. He went on to say he lost close friends in 9/11, and then apologized to his viewers for having to sit through the "disturbing" video put on by the RNC.

I find Olberman disturbing. I think he should NOT be shown because I’m sure others find him disturbing too.

Olbermann, MSNBC and NBC will be sinking in the ratings because the public is onto their extreme bias. Buh-bye. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.

9/11 is history with a big “H”. Olberman cannot control the dissemination of History.

I saw it too, because I was channel surfing and stopped to listen to Tom Brokaw have a much different opinion. (My cable system cradles MSNBC in among Fox News, CNN, and the Weather Channel, probably to improve the surf-by audience.)

I wonder if he held that final pose during the entire commercial break.

Olberman has the personal experience in being disturbed.

Mohammed Atta was a close friend of Olbermann? Not surprising.

He is a joke, he feeds on this stuff. Ignore him. WTH even tune in? It’s like surfing into a torture chamber!

I heard, he looked like he was going to cry. Is this a serious man?

This is why nobody watches Olberman — it’s like riding in an elevator with a mentally disturbed stranger.

#1. He never has had nor does he NOW have a close friend, or even a friend. His only acquaintances are hookers he pays and beats up! He's a drunk, a woman beater, and a prevaricator. In other words, perfect for NBC!

not to worry!

these liberal-socialists do not realize that

sarah palin is an ordinary person, one of us,

and she’s going to boomerang back in their faces.

it was probably better than watching BORx2.

I watched, perhaps it may have been better to watch PMSNBC because at least you would have seen a reminder of what is important. As opposed to Bill asking questions and allowing Obama to respond with a prepared answer and wiggle out of a tough cross examination.

Nothing is more important to American interests than telling our kids what THEY are facing in THEIR futures if 9/11 events are kept from them.

Videos of those unfortunate people trapped in the towers, the ones that leaped to their deaths; should be seen AT LEAST yearly.

Per Drudge earlier today, MSNBC was dead last in convention viewership last night.
