Sly Scarborough Shot At Olbermann Over Palin?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/28/2010 5:45:18 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Gee, I wonder which "cable news show" Joe had in mind . . .

In a seeming shot at Keith Olbermann, Joe Scarborough has predicted that "certain cable news shows" will stir up a "fake controversy" tonight over whether Sarah Palin was booed on Dancing With The Stars [she wasn't].

Here's the background: Bristol Palin appeared on DWTS last night, and Sarah was there in the front row to support her. Jennifer Grey [of Dirty Dancing fame] also competed last night. Her backers in the audience began to boo when her scores, which they judged to be too low, were announced. That happened just before the show cut to an interview with Sarah Palin. Some have tried to suggest that the audience was in fact booing Palin. But the crowd in fact cheered when Sarah appeared, and as Willie Geist said "my staff and I have studied the tape. They were not booing [Palin]."

That served as preamble to Joe's prediction . . .

LOL. You captured Mika’s mood today perfectly in the screen cap.

Mika Brzezinskiis does not deserve to waste the air she breathes.

The fact that they are "studying" such things is really pathetic.

Who are any of these guys? No one watches them. NBC ought to turn MSNBC into an internet chat room and they will save a fortune.

Considering all the Hollywood types that attend DWTS, I would not have been surprised if there were some boos.

It doesn’t matter who they were booing. The booing was in poor taste and only made those who did it look bad.

It is a fake controversy because who cares? Just gives DWTS some publicity and might give them a few more viewers next week.

I guarantee the appearance of Bristal Palin and also The Situation have increased their viewership anyway.

BTW, The Situation is a real gentleman on the show.

WMAL came to it's senses and dropped them many many months ago returning the Beltway-wise Chris Plante to the air.

What does that mean, exactly? I’m sure it’s about ratings having the final say, but not sure of Comcast reference.

Comcast bought NBC and sometime next year, they will run nbc, msnbc, cnbc and the iceman commeth.

If I were krazy keith, fat ed, tingly chrissy, the lesbo or any of the rest of that crew, I'd be tuning up the resume.
