grandpa Keith Olbermann is back at it again with another scorcher, this time seemingly implying that he pisses on his own face. After a full-scale meltdown over the Supreme Court’s landmark 9-0 ruling in favor of former President Donald Trump in the Colorado ballot case, Olbermann appears to have short-circuited. After Olbermann blasted out an absurd rant calling for the dissolution of the Supreme Court, political commentator Gunther Eagleman replied to Old Man O’s public meltdown with a simple “Cry more… 9-0.” Olbermann, doing his best Shooter McGavin impression, retorts with “Those aren’t tears, Fascist. They’re urine. I’m sure you...

Keith Olbermann took a swipe at Aaron Rodgers after the New York Jets star left his team debut during the first quarter Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. Olbermann used Rodgers’ decision to forgo the coronavirus vaccine to mock his injury. "Another #SuddenLisfranc due to failure to vaccinate," Olbermann wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, along with six syringe emojis.

Few exist in our nation who are better able — and inexplicably willing — than Keith Olbermanto afford us a portal through which we may view the mindset of your average left-wing digressive on the topic of what is necessary to heal America’s present cultural divide.Last week, Olberman publicly condemned Biden — and even called for his resignation — due to his Administration’s failure over the last year to defend the country from what he called — by way of incredible hyperbole — the “terrorists” who reside amongst us throughout this country, as exemplified by those who entered our nation’s...

Roseanne Barr lost her new television show. Barr, in a tweet about Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, said of Jarrett: "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj." The comedian deleted the offensive tweet, but the damage was irreversible. The reaction was swift. The Rev. Al Sharpton tweeted: "The comparison ... of ... Valerie Jarrett to an APE is racist and inexcusable. ABC must take action NOW!" The Disney-owned ABC issued the following statement: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show." Barr left Disney little choice....

....Current TV. TVNewser learned earlier today that Keith Olbermann would make an announcement tomorrow as to where he’ll be next after he left “Countdown.” But the news broke sooner than expected. The New York Times‘ Bill Carter and Brian Stelter wrote today that Olbermann will be going to Current TV. Carter and Stelter wrote that Olbermann and his representatives would not deny the story and an anonymous source told them that the former MSNBC host would have an equity stake in Current TV.

You know all that talk about whether Keith Olbermann would ever be back on MSNBC? Well whoever speculated about that (me) was totally off – Olbermann will return to Countdown Tuesday night. From Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC: After several days of deliberation and discussion, I have determined that suspending Keith through and including Monday night’s program is an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy. We look forward to having him back on the air Tuesday night. So basically he was suspended for two shows, and four days (counting the weekend). That seems like an amazingly short amount...

Two weeks ago, a handful of bloggers wrote scathingly about Ken Burns’ use of former Boston Globe columnist Mike Barnicle and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin — two prominent writers who have faced credible plagiarism and fabrication charges that you can read about here, here and here — as prominent interview subjects in Burns’ most recent documentary about baseball, “The Tenth Inning.” Tom Scocca, a blogger for Slate, headlined his September 30 post “Mike Barnicle, Fraud and Plagiarist, Helps Guide America Through Baseball’s Era of Shame.” Scocca, to put it mildly, writes in anger.Speaking of baseball and its scandals, the other...

Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik let this week's Deutsch dump sink in for a day or two before writing about it. So here goes: ...here I come to write once again about what a reckless TV figure Keith Olbermann is -- and how irresponsible MSNBC and NBC News management are for giving him a national platform and the network's credibility to spread his innuendo, invective and smears. Olbermann tries to talk like he's Edward R. Murrow, but he operates in the dirty tradition of Joe McCarthy. Oh boy. Olbermann, who's expected back on the air tonight after a colonoscopy (TMI, I...

Radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt, who was at the center of this week's dumping of Donny Deutsch storyline, is having his say. When the segment was over, so was Donny's career on MSNBC though the ax didn't drop until the next day. Rule #1 in MSNBC-land: Never say anything bad about Keith or Ed or allow a guest to voice an unflattering opinion about them no matter how widely shared across the country. And there we have the reason for MSNBC's dismal ratings. For most viewers interested in real, vigorous, entertaining debate about serious political issues built on sustained...

B&C reports that the First Amendment Advisory Council of the Media Institute has issued an open letter to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann asking him to apologize to one of its members, Floyd Abrams, for comments made on a January broadcast: "Floyd Abrams is the foremost First Amendment advocate of our time. He also is Jewish. For any Jew to be compared to a Nazi collaborator is vile, but in the case of Floyd is simply beyond comprehension," they wrote. "But your offhanded inclusion of this ugly epithet points to a deeper problem that has degraded public discourse -- the breakdown of...

In the world wide web and in the publishing world, there are conspiracy theories going about concerning topics from the Kennedy assassination, aliens, 9/11 being an inside job, Chariot of the gods, a book claiming that extraterrestrials influenced the ancient world, and corporate control over government. While some present some truth, some are fantastic and even fictitious. One such theory involves ancient history and a belief that we have not been alone in the universe for sometime. British Author and Green activist David Icke has compiled a series of books claiming that since the dawn of time, Earth has been...

The voices in Keith Olbermaniac’s head must be angrier than usual this morning. “In his inaugural address,” Olbermann crowed two days ago, “the President essentially tried to create a wedge between those who are reasonable and those who are not. Of course, he was talking about the Muslim world. Is it possible in this different context that he’s trying to do the same as he seeks bipartisanship with the Republicans, sort of, you know, separate, Mullah Limbaugh from the herd?” The smirk on Olbermann’s face revealed just how clever he thought he was for making this observation. Then two things...

Keith Olbermann is again being an embarrassment to MSNBC. The cable channel and MySpace have teamed up to choose two "citizen journalist" correspondents to cover the upcoming national political conventions. The "journalists" will be featured both on MySpace and MSNBC's campaign coverage. A spy said, "Every anchor is onboard and willing to play along, except Keith. He refuses to participate because MySpace is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp." - which also owns Fox News and The Post. A rep for Olbermann said, "There are no plans for the contest winners to be on any programs other than 'Morning Joe.'...

MSNBC, which bills itself as "the place for politics," is being pummeled by political practitioners. "It's an organ of the Democratic National Committee," says Steve Schmidt, a senior strategist for John McCain's campaign. "It's a partisan advocacy organization that exists for the purpose of attacking John McCain." Ed Gillespie, President Bush's counselor, says there is an "increasing blurring" of the line between NBC News and MSNBC's "blatantly partisan talk show hosts like Christopher Matthews and Keith Olbermann." Terry McAuliffe, chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign, says Matthews has been "in the tank" for Barack Obama "from Day One" and is practically...

Bill O'Reilly, the Fox News star, is mounting an extraordinary televised assault on the chief executive of General Electric, calling him a "pinhead" and a "despicable human being" who bears responsibility for the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq. On the surface, O'Reilly's charges revolve around GE's history of doing business with Iran. But the attacks grow out of an increasingly bitter feud between O'Reilly and the company's high-profile subsidiary, NBC, one that has triggered back-channel discussions involving News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes, NBC chief executive Jeff Zucker and General Electric's CEO, Jeffrey Immelt. Ailes...

ALGONQUIN – Village clerk and local clown Jerry Kautz said he was “living in a nightmare” after a Springfield man who used the same clown handle was charged Tuesday with possessing child pornography and traveling overseas to have sex with a minor. “I’m heartsick,” Kautz said Thursday after getting a threatening e-mail from someone who mistook his “Klutzo” clown character for that of the accused man, Amon Paul Carlock. “There is nothing more slimy than for someone to be an entertainer and take advantage of children,” Kautz said. “I hope he gets everything he has coming to him.” The accused...

On Tuesday's Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann fretted about an Oval Office meeting of President Bush and several conservative talk radio hosts -- verbally tagged by Olbermann as "right-wing radio yackers" and labelled on-screen as the "Legion of Doom" -- as the Countdown host contended that Bush was devoting "90 minutes worth of your taxpayer dollars" to the meeting. And in an amusing faux pas, Olbermann's staff, for the second time in less than a year, accidentally displayed a photograph of former liberal Democratic Senator Max Cleland instead of conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz. During the show's opening...

Did anyone catch Keith O's rant just now on PMSNBC? He was asking the citizens to forgive the President for all his malicous and cynical use of the 9//11 tragedy. He pretty much said the President and his men were behind the 'bald faced lies' of the ABC documdrama amd that the president lied us into the war with Iraq. Pretty much the usual DNC talking points, but to see Olberman recite them with such passion and quote from Rod Serling;s 'The Twilight Zone' was pretty amusing. No wonder nobody watches the fool, he comes off like a pretty boy...
