Let me just say for the record, having not read the post and having no judgment on the poster of any kind, "why do we give the moron the exposure?"

Including myself, the sixty odd folks who wandered here gave offalman a significant ratings boost.

Let these jerks get there own audience. Course, then they might have to compete in the free market, and we know where that will lead them.

I hope Olberman gets fired by MSNBC, and has to ask Dan Rather for a job at HD-NET.

Ever notice how liberal "smoking guns" (Downing Street Memo) turn out to be incredibly thin and open to multiple plausible interpretations.

Journalism is the business of verbal self-promotion. Others seek to gain importance/money by satisfying the needs of the people for food, clothing, shelter, security, and fuel. Journalists seek to gain importance/money by mere talk. To do so, journalism mercilessly criticizes and second guesses the people who actually do things instead of merely talking about things.

Consequently journalism is of its nature arrogant, negative, and superficial - and socialist. Talk radio, and Fox News Channel, fill a niche market for journalism which is not socialist. And anything not socialist, socialists will think of a s "right wing."

Yeah, Keith Olbermann believes in his cause so much that he works for free - not for six or seven figures, plus bennies.

If you look in the dictionary under "lying scumbag", there's a picture of Olbermannsturmfuhrer.

I wonder what FoxNews' ratings were the day after the election (compared with MSNBC or CNBC or CNN and their cheerleaders for the Dem victors -- and the Islamic terrorists). Just wondering....

The thing about Olbermann is at least his unabashed liberalism is upfront. I think Scarborough is terrific -- no water carrier he. I only wish he had run for governor or Senate here in Florida. Now he'd be someone who would be good in '08.

I wouldn't say Olbermann is up front about his extreme liberal bias, but it's evident to anyone with ears . . . so close enough.

Keith has even resorted to attacking O'Reilly during his ESPN radio gig. Keith can't limit the O'Reilly attacks to his pathetic excuse for a show on MSNBC but now has to use ESPN airtime as well to carry out his grudge?

Any day now. NBC seems to be firing everyone else as they try to bail themselves out of total failure, and I'd imagine that getting that abomination of a "news" network off their chest would help in that respect.
