Olbermann Furious that Palin Reads Newsmax
Newsmax ^ | 11/20/09

Posted on 11/21/2009 5:38:41 AM PST by Dr. Scarpetta

When Sarah Palin told Fox News Wednesday night that she turns to Newsmax as one of her primary news sources, she ticked off MSNBC host Keith Olbermann.

On Thursday night, the left-leaning Olbermann opened a broadside against the former Alaskan governor for her choice of reading matter, especially her use of Newsmax.

Olbermann reacted to statements the former vice presidential candidate made to Sean Hannity, when the Fox host asked her what she regularly reads.

"I read Newsmax and the Frontiersman and Wall Street Journal and everything online," Palin responded. "I absorb the news via many, many sources."

On Thursday night, Olbermann featured the Palin response in a full segment on his cable show.

Olbermann opened the segment by alluding to Palin's interview with Katie Couric during last year's campaign, when Palin declined to tell Couric what newspapers and magazine she regularly read.

Referring to Palin's statements on Hannity's show, Olbermann snarled that "a year and six weeks" after the Couric interview, Palin announced that she reads Newsmax.

Olbermann displayed three headlines from the Newsmax Web site, derisively noting a Newsmax headline: "Sarah Palin tells Hannity: I read Newsmax."

If it would be up to Olbermann, publications like Newsmax would be banned. Liberals hate free speech when it disagrees with them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Olbermann puts Levi on as his guest.

“Olberman Furious That Palin Reads Newsmax”

ONe wonders if Herr Goerrbles became furious when he found out that some Germans listened to non-Nazi radio.

IMHO

Hadn’t thought about that as I seldom think about Little Keith, but I think you’re prediction is right.

Good one.

K.Olbermann is such a sorry pathetic tragic creature, it's amazing that he has any viewers at all.

Democrats hate Palin because she is a cheerful achiever.

Democrats think that people need their permission to be happy.

MSNBC is, in my opinion, risking everything by having Olberman in their lineup. With his obvious uncontrollable anger, he is almost sure to go postal one day, and it might just be in their studio.
