On tonight's Countdown With Keith Olbermann on MSNBC (Monday, February 13, 2006), Washington Post reporter Dana Milbank appeared for an interview wearing a bright-orange hunter's vest and hat. Michelle Malkin has the photo and video.
How on earth is anyone supposed to believe that the Washington Post can maintain any objectivity on the Cheney hunting story when one of their most veteran and prominent reporters shows up for an interview dressed like this?
Think back to 1998. Imagine a female newspaper reporter (not an opinion columnist, but a reporter, mind you) showing up for a television interview dressed in a beret and looking like Monica Lewinsky. Or a male columnist wearing a Clinton wig and holding a cigar. It never would have happened, because these people would have lost their jobs. Their employer's credibility would have been shot.
It's astonishing: It appears Milbank wasn't even trying to hide his bias!
HT: Michelle Malkin.

Thats not a hunters vest and hat. Its the kind they give prisoners when they are on road clean up detail.
Maybe that's where he got it.

When no one ever watches your show, and your idea of news is a joke, you have to do whatever stunt you can to get attention. Olbermann's schtick is getting tired.

I assume that they know that Cheney used a 28 ga.

I saw Milbank last night on MSNBC and he looked ridiculous.
The MSM are increasingly desperate, and I've come to the conclusion that Cheney didn't inform them for the following two reasons:
1. He doesn't care what they think and he despises them, anyway.
2. Deliberate move by the White House to show the MSM how truly irrelevant they are becoming, which is why you are seeing the hysteric reactions.

Is Olbermann a homo? No wonder the guy is so stinking angry all the time.

Sorry...but that reporter and his hunter's orange garb belong on
Saturday Night Live skit...not a supposedly 'objective' news report.
Alas the sheeple will still cheer...'right on' and still continue their enabling and apologists ways.

They are out of control alright, and have no idea of how they are looking to us folks in fly-over country!

That isn't even a hunting vest. It is a reflective safety vest for use in traffic, as it has reflective tape.

No, and that is another advantage we have. They are so arrogant that they cannot comprehend what they are doing to themselves.

Even with so few viewers I can't believe they put this guy on the air dressed like that. I can take a joke, but isn't that what Comedy Central is for? Whatever happened to the news?
