Almost lost in the ludicrous exchange in which 3 pro-abortion fanatics who consider gay marriage to be the next big battle against bigotry defending the Catholic Church against Glenn Beck, was this outburst from Chrissy “Tingly Leg” Matthews– which was embarrassing, even by his low standard. If he keeps this up, he won’t even be a useful idiot for the Left anymore: MATTHEWS: This guy, Barack Obama—not to get too basic about it -did everything right. He studied hard in school. He obeyed the law. He raised a family. He took care of his family. He was an excellent student....

In his latest great Bob Lee Swagger thriller, I Sniper, author Stephen Hunter has a character state sarcastically, “Someone once defined a newspaper gun story as ’something with a mistake in it.’” You’d think that if Keith Olbermann was going to mount his high horse, do a superior act and be sarcastic about someone he would at least have the provable facts straight. Sure, he twists the truth out of all proportion every night, on his “Worst Person in the World” segment, and slanders anyone who disagrees with him in unconscionable ways—but usually it takes more than a simple Google...

Remembering this self-deluding rant last year when Bill O’Reilly dared to mock Keith Olbermann’s ratings? OLBERMANN: I hate to intrude with the facts, but ours is the highest rated cable news program [among] viewers 35 and younger, and the highest rated cable news program for all viewers not on Fixed [i.e., Fox] News. And since Fixed News has now migrated completely over to serving propaganda to tinfoil hatters, conspiracy theorists, paranoids and racist, it’s not a news organization, making THIS [Olbermann's] show the highest-rated cable news program, period. Here’s tonight’s big number, as Chris Matthews would say– 44! That’s right,...

In his hysteria over the Democrats losing “the Kennedy Seat” on Tuesday, Keith Olbermann, like Mary Jo Kopechne’s chauffeur, may have gone a bridge too far. While there is no doubt that NBC (over) pays Olbermann to be provocative and to be outrageously leftwing to fill a (shrinking) market niche; it will be interesting to see if Keith’s new employer, Comcast, is going to stand for deliberate slander of a prominent public figure. Today, the invaluable and venerable Media Research Center does a devastating job of disproving every one of Olbermann’s “factual” assertions in his slanderous rant against Massachusetts Senator-Elect...
