Olberman - Has Fox News gone too far?
MSNBC ^ | 11/16/06 | Keith Olberman

Posted on 11/16/2006 1:19:41 PM PST by AT7Saluki

One of the most ingenious aspects of the false charge of an intentional liberal bias in the news media is the unstated inference that if there is a liberal bias there by necessity cannot be an intentional conservative bias.

A new piece of hard evidence that there indeed a conservative bias in at least one quarter of the media, a Rosetta Stone of jaundiced journalism.

It’s apparently a printout of a channel's daily editorial memo, marching orders e-mailed to key staffers on how and where to slant the news. And how to adjust the facts to match the political conclusions and not the other way around.

You could infer that I'm implying that Olberman can't speak "good".

He's 2 busy using those dang big words and pretty sentences that us redneck right-wing nutters r 2 stoopid to understand.

I refuse to take Olbermann seriously. Whatever he said, I didn't read it.

The "obscene" memos are actually pretty meaningless in showing a conservative bias. This is just lib fantasy.

Like most radiclibs, Olbermann would like people who disagree with him to just shut up.

"and I defy anybody to show me one hard question that Fox has ever asked about stay the course."
Why, I have seen this brought up again and again during shouting matches between left and right panel members. Does this guy need a hearing aid?

Keith obbermen like to try to get others (with higher ratings) to talk about him so that out of curiosity they will turn to see his show and his ratings will go up. There are more people surfing FR right now than he gets in the number of viewers in a month. Sooner or later he'll be bashing freepers...oops...he doesnt need to. He's already the talk of the town here. :)

He's a fine one to whine. Few reporters are more biased that he is.

The Old Queen must be having hot flashes. Old Queens of Keith's age and temperament are known to be very touchy.

I am at a loss how MSNBC's Olbermann and Scarborough think that the key to increasing their dismal ratings is to continually attack Fox, Oreilly, & Hannity. They are preaching to the (small) choir already in their audience.

Methinks a straight jacket is in Olberwomann's future.
