Olbermann: ‘Point Taken. I Have Been A Little Over The Top Lately. Sorry.’

Mediaite ^ | 1-23-10

[My Favorite Headache]

Keith Olbermann’s recent transformation from a harsh but reasoned critic of the right, to a hyperbolic caricature of bluster was best exemplified by his recent run-down of Senator-elect Scott Brown. Many media critics noticed it, but most notable was Jon Stewart, who eviscerated his shtick Thursday night. Even Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher asked yesterday “Is Olbermann losing it?” So many of us were shocked by his response last night when he agreed with the critique, and even said “sorry.” Kudos!

WOW! Someone got to him. Or they just upped his meds again.

A LITTLE???????

[fish hawk]

His audience is so minute that it really does not make a difference one way or another.

“Lately”????

[Radagast the Fool]

Who’’s Keith Olberman?

[Rennes Templar]

He really feels that way, he just wants to keep his job.

I certainly don't watch him. If I hadn't seen the Jon Stewart spoof on YouTube, I wouldn't even know what Olbermann looks like.

[marstegreg]

I missed that. Good one!!! :)

Well that was a better way to fill his airtime than anything KO has ever said, but only by a little bit. A test pattern and 1000 hz tone would have really iced it.

Anyhow, it’s not going to help. We still hate Olbie and now he’s in trouble with the moonbats for being a wuss and apologizing, or whatever you call that.

Keith Olbermann’s recent transformation from a harsh but reasoned critic of the right, to a hyperbolic caricature of bluster...

This "transformation" didn't happen recently. It only intensified to the point where even those who agree with him are taken aback.

“Is Olbermann losing it?”

Does a bear poop in the woods?

[Touch Not the Cat]

I still hope he gets axed from NBC’s football coverage.

Olbermann lost ‘it’ many years ago. In fact, no sure he ever had ‘it’. Some are just born brain dead.

>”he agreed with the critique, and even said “sorry.” “

Nope. Apologies not accepted. Only your resignation will suffice.

[Burkean]

Ben Affleck’s parody of Olberman on SNL was priceless.

[Rebelbase]

Saying sorry doesn’t take the stink off of trash.
