    Radio and TV talk show personalities are distorting the public debate on critical issues with bias and misinformation, Sen. Ben Nelson said Friday. Too many Americans “get their news from entertainers (who) tell them what to be angry about today,” Nelson said. Nelson pointed the finger at personalities on both the right and the left during a speech to the Nebraska Public Policy Center on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. Both Jon Stewart on Comedy Central and conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh “slant the news to fit their agenda,” Nelson said. Then he added Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck and Sean...

    The tea parties, or “teabagging parties” as sophomoric leftists like to call them with tongue (or whatever) firmly in cheek, have generated quite a bit of hot air over the past few days. It didn’t get much hotter than Janeane Garofalo, comedienne, political pundit and, apparently, eminent neuroscientist, on Countdown:

    A few weeks ago, MSNBC "Countdown" host Keith Olbermann got exercised at Brit Hume's crediting the Media Research Center for providing fodder for the "Political Grapevine" of his FNC show "Special Report." He was quickly shown as a hypocrite for taking that very information from a left-wing blog. On April 7, Olbermann was at it again, taking banter from left-wing blogs to attack individuals that promote and celebrate the 2nd Amendment during his "Worst Person in the World" segment. First, he went after the National Rifle Association because someone sold an anti-Obama T-shirt outside an event at which the NRA...

    Here is video of Keith Olbermann announcing that liberal radio talk show host Ed Schultz is getting a show on MSNBC. Schultz's show will air in the 6 PM ET slot starting Monday. David Shuster currently hosts "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" at that time. MSNBC continues to solidify it's role as "Obama/Liberal Television" with this move. This puts Schultz opposite "Special Report with Bret Baier" on Fox News. Incidentally, Olbermann identifies himself as an "A-hole" in this video! He actually told the truth for once! . . . . . .

    Talk about your post-partisan era: finally, something we can all agree on . . . On tonight’s Countdown, Keith Olbermann described himself as an . . . “a-hole.” He made the admission in the context of describing the various shows in the MSNBC line-up on the occasion of announcing that Ed Schultz will be joining the network’s, um, stable. KEITH OLBERMANN: Alright, you’ve got the conundrum all of us have as this thing gets more and more successful. A show’s got to look like a relative of all the other shows right before it and right after it. But not...

    Another episode of MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," another angry rant about a conservative disagreeing with liberal agenda - how predictable. On the March 26 broadcast of "Countdown," Olbermann set his sights on Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, for suggesting that nature adapts to a changing climate - even when the changes predate the theory that man possessed the ability to change the climate. "But our winner - Republican Congressman Joe Barton of Texas, back for another round of denying climate change," Olbermann said. ...more (w/video)...

    Does Keith Olbermann see himself as some sort of Junior Assistant to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs? Over at Contentions, Jennifer Rubin has noted that in discussing the Obama “Special Olympics” comment, the Countdown host asked a guest “what do we do–what does he do, about that?” Translation: how do “we” repair the damage? By the way, Olbermann scooped his own network on the gaffe. “Tonight” had already been taped by the time Olbermann went on the air at 8 PM EDT last night, and as you’ll see from the YouTube, he had somehow gotten an advance look and...

    Here is video of Keith Olbermann last night reporting President Obama's tasteless joke about his bowling being like the "Special Olympics or something." What really jumps out at me is that after Olbermann reports what Obama said to his guest, he then says, "What do WE do, what does he do about that?" Be sure that the liberal media is asking that very question, "What do WE do about that" in order to save Obama's butt? . . . . . . (Watch Olbermann Video)

    The confrontation between Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's "Mad Money," on Comedy Central's "Daily Show" in which the latter delivered a pathetically poor performance was a hot topic on cable and in the blogosphere last week. Everywhere, that is, except on MSNBC where the hosts were strangely silent about this encounter. Were the MSNBC hosts under orders to keep silent about this since the parent NBC company didn't want to harm the credibility and ratings of a CNBC host? According to TVNewser, this was likely the case: A TVNewser tipster tells us MSNBC producers were asked not...

    According to TVNewser, MSNBC hosts were asked NOT to comment on the CONFRONTATION between Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer. After all, MSNBC and CNBC are both part of the NBC parent company and money is at stake here. Therefore, NBC wanted as little attention paid to Cramer's pathetic performance defending himself on the Daily Show as possible. This was a moment of truth for Keith Olbermann who endlessly brags about speaking "truth to power." So did Olbermann pass the test? Well, I'll let this Daily Kos KOmmie THREAD, "Moment of Truth for Keith and Rachel coming up tonight" answer...

    My masochism in watching the MSM has its limits, which I normally draw at Keith Olbermann. So when 8 PM rolled around this evening, I tuned into “House” rather than “Countdown.” But even there, I couldn’t escape the blogging impulse . . . A focus of this evening’s episode is House’s friendship with fellow doctor James Wilson. One of House’s minions, Dr. Chris Taub, breaks into Wilson’s email account to find out why he has rejected House’s invitation to attend a monster-truck show [House is a fan]. It turns out Wilson has a meeting with a doctor specializing in suicide...
  • Ari Fleischer Zings MSNBC: Should Dems Denounce Keith Olbermann?

    Former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer appeared on the Thursday edition of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and stopped the program cold when he challenged the hosts as to whether they were "going after Democrat members of Congress for why they aren't distancing themselves from Keith Olbermann?" Co-anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who had been discussing the battle between the White House and Rush Limbaugh, were silent for a moment before Brzezinski admitted, "That was a good one. We're all thinking."

I'm not sure what scam Olbermann imagined Rush was trying to put over on the American people by saying conservatives believed in the "preamble to the Constitution" and then quoting words from the Declaration of Independence -- but Olbermann put an end to that cruel deception!  These small-time opportunities to show off by correcting someone else's teeny-tiny mistakes are the lifeblood of Olbermann's MSNBC...

    MSNBC’s mad dog host Keith Olbermann has wiped the foam from his mouth long enough to issue a “correction” in regard to recent comments he incorrectly attributed to News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch. “Incidentally, a correction on Murdoch,” Olbermann said. “We have quoted several times the transcript of a News Corp conference call provided by the usually reliable financial website called SeakingAlpha.com, in which the News Corp boss was quoted as saying, ‘we have never been a company that tolerates facts.’ It turns out SeekingAlpha.com got it wrong. Murdoch, in fact, said ‘we have never been a company that tolerates...

    So much for any pretention to balance. Looks like David Shuster has taken a page from his mentor Keith Olbermann's playbook: play exclusively to your crowd; exclude any alternative voices. Announcing this evening a new regular feature focusing on the blogosphere on his 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue show, Shuster made it clear that conservatives need not apply. DAVID SHUSTER: Every day at this time, we're going to bring you a key issue in the progressive blogosphere. View video.

    A health policy expert who Keith Olbermann eviscerated during Thursday's "Countdown" has officially challenged the disgraceful MSNBC personality to a debate concerning provisions in the soon to be enacted stimulus plan that will negatively impact healthcare in this nation. In a press release issued Friday, Betsy McCaughey stated (h/t TVNewser): If Keith Olbermann of MSNBC could defend the health provisions slipped into the stimulus bill on their merits, he wouldn't be resorting to personal attacks on me. Olbermann calls me a shill funded by the drug industry (2-12-2009). That's not true...If Keith Olbermann has the courage, I invite him to...

    If Keith Olbermann wants to say it’s wrong for honchos at firms getting bailout bucks to bag big bonuses, fine. But the Countdown host should lose the man-of-the-people shtick. On this evening’s Countdown, Olbermann engaged in a gripe-fest about bonuses, corporate jets, etc. with Rep. Maxine Waters. Then, teasing the next segment, came this. KEITH OLBERMANN: Fortunately, at for one instance, Morgan Stanley, there will be no more of those bonuses to angry up the hoi polloi, like us. View video.

    Now that America has a liberal President, it is apparently no longer acceptable for a private citizen to express disagreement with the White House in Keith Olbermann’s world. On Thursday’s Countdown show, MSNBC host Olbermann delivered his latest "Special Comment" rant, this time calling for former Vice President Cheney to "leave this country," and made a suggestion that Cheney, who recently criticized President Obama’s plans for handling counterterrorism, should somehow be "made to desist" from such criticism. Olbermann: "You, Mr. Cheney, you terrified more Americans than did any terrorist in the last seven years, and now it is time for...
