My hunch is that the "Jim Thompson" thing is deliberate error, in order to avoid defamation. Jim Robinson's status as "public person" isn't so clear, which losers the defamation hurdle. By using a fake name, Olberman avoids defaming Jim Robinson by name. 119 posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 7:33:16 PM by Cboldt
