ABOUT THIS EPISODE SEASON 3 EPISODE 132: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: “He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy,” Trump writes of the suspect who has confessed to the Boulder Flame-Thrower Attack, “which has hurt our country so badly. He must go out under Trump policy.” Yeah, great. Well, he DIDN'T go out under the Trump policy because the Trump policy is to ignore the actual dangers and simply arrest the innocent and those who pose no threat and thus Trump has blood on his hands. The attack on the weekly march of those remembering...

Keith Olbermann blasted his former protégé Rachel Maddow for lacking “principle” after the MSNBC host reportedly signed a rich new contract to stay at the network — despite layoff fears and cratering ratings at the left-leaning cable channel. Olbermann, who hosted the MSNBC prime time show “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” from 2003 to 2011, responded on X to journalist Jeff Jarvis’ observation that the Comcast-owned network “might have to change its identity” after parent company Comcast announced plans to spin off its cable assets. Jarvis then wondered whether Maddow — who reportedly signed a five-year, 125-million deal last month on...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went on CNN to make the case for giving government total control over information. "Right now, there are too many websites that allow users to post anything that's on their mind," she complained. "This is because federal law permits Internet platforms to pretend that they are, like the Post Office, just passing along communications without taking any responsibility for inspecting the content. It's bad enough that the Post Office passes along malicious and erroneous content, but it's limited to one recipient per envelope. A messaged placed on Facebook or X can reach millions in...

Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann called for Tesla mogul Elon Musk to be deported, suggesting President Biden should use presidential immunity to get the multi-billionaire business magnate "the ***** out of our country." Olbermann, a staunch critic of former President Trump, is irked that Musk has criticized FEMA and supported the Republican presidential nominee on X, where he boasts over 200 million followers. "It is now time to cancel all of Elon Musk’s government contracts. Tesla, SpaceX, whatever other crap he’s selling us," Olbermann said on a video posted to social media intended to promote his podcast. While Olbermann doesn’t...

The St. Louis Cardinals deny that their players engaged in a Trump-inspired home run celebration on Sunday, but good luck telling that to Keith Olbermann. On Sunday, Alec Burleson hit a home run in the third inning of the Cardinals’ game against the Braves. As he was rounding the bases, Burleson and a couple of teammates in the dugout put a hand over their ears. They raised a fist in what appeared to be a tribute to President Trump’s reaction following his assassination attempt on July 13. Is this a Trump home run celebration by the Cardinals? pic.twitter.com/f2XrQr0q3u — Talkin’...

President Joe Biden's reelection campaign officially ended on Sunday, July 21 when he announced that he was dropping out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Harris has since picked up a lot of endorsements from fellow Democrats —including one from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) — and reportedly, Biden's announcement was followed by a cash haul of over $75 million in less than 24 hours. But some Republicans are accusing Democrats of not playing fair, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana). On X, formerly Twitter, Johnson posted, "At this unprecedented juncture in American history,...

Keith Olbermann, who has been hired and fired repeatedly over the years for his unsuitable behavior, is still on X pushing BluAnon conspiracy theories that claim Trump wasn’t shot on July 13. The ex-ESPN personality has pushed out one X post after another, claiming there is “no evidence” that Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt, according to Fox News. On Sunday, the distempered sports man even advised Donald Trump to “flee,” for some reason. Advice to Trump: Flee. Now. — Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) July 22, 2024

"In brief: Ronny Jackson isn't a doctor. Which is perfect, because Trump wasn't hit by a bullet," he wrote.

Ex-MSNBC host Keith Olbermann called for CNN to fire one of their most prominent political commentators for juxtaposing former President Trump and President Biden in a way that put the Republican in a positive light. In the weeks following Biden’s widely criticized performance in the presidential debate, the president’s supporters have feuded with his critics who are calling for him to step down in lieu of another candidate.

This tweet didn't age well, Keith Olbermann.

Keith Olbermann offered ESPN an ultimatum: silence Stephen A. Smith or fire him. Olbermann uploaded a video detailing his orders Monday, including a meandering 393-word caption. In short, he called upon ESPN to take immediate action after Smith appeared on Fox News last week. "WHY ESPN MUST EITHER SILENCE OR FIRE STEPHEN A. SMITH: Its longstanding policy - no, you can't be a sportscaster on one station and an advocate for a presidential candidate on another station - is right. I know: I helped to author it because the day when you (or I) could straddle both worlds is long...

Former MSNBC bomb thrower Keith Olbermann is taking heat for posting to social media his apparent hope that Donald Trump would be assassinated. The shrill, extreme leftist jumped to his X account on Saturday and replied to a Joe Biden campaign post which featured a video of a segment of a speech Trump recently made in Dayton, Ohio. The “Biden-Harris HQ” post of the video was captioned: “Trump says he has been treated worse than Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated.”

Keith Olbermann called for the Supreme Court to be dissolved and took aim at the court’s Democratic-appointed justices, after a unanimous ruling on Monday kept former President Trump on the presidential primary ballot. “The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy. Its members including Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension,” he said, referring to Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

Last we heard from Harvard’s David Hogg, he was working on a paper on the Second Amendment for his constitutional law class. He’ll probably get an A+ for the same reason Harvard granted him admission over much more gifted young people. Hogg’s takes on the Second Amendment are universally terrible, but Keith Olbermann got triggered by a tweet Thursday that led him to lay down the hammer on gun ownership. House Judiciary GOP @JudiciaryGOP #BREAKING: The Judiciary Committee just voted to repeal the ATF’s unconstitutional ban on pistol braces. Big win for the Second Amendment. 1:10 AM · Apr 20,...

Former MSNBC host and leftist anti-Trump critic Keith Olbermann rushed to defend President Joe Biden on Twitter after Biden became embroiled in a classified documents scandal. "We’re really going to do this again? We’re really going to do Hillary Clinton’s emails again? We’re really going to do whataboutism and both sides-ism again?" Olbermann asked in a video he posted on the social media platform. Olbermann targeted CNN, CBS News, NBC News, The Washington Post and The New York Times for reporting on a newly revealed investigation into Biden's alleged mishandling of classified documents.

Locked out of their accounts: bombastic critic-of-everything Keith Olbermann, New York Times technology reporter Ryan Mac, CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan, and Mashable writer Matt Binder.

"There are left-wing zealots with at least a modicum of ability to stop themselves from publically going off the really deep end, and then there’s former MSNBC hack Keith Olbermann who fails to realize — or give a damn about —how his ridiculous anger and bitterness is perceived by a majority of rational Americans."

With all the wailing and gnashing of teeth going on over the Supreme Court’s decision to end Roe vs. Wade and pass the lawmaking onus on to the states, the court’s decision to overturn New York’s ban on conceal carry and other gun rights might get buried in the chaos. Extreme leftist and corporate “journalist” Keith Olbermann certainly had a lot to say about it, though. Incensed by the idea that a government body might actually rule against common leftist policy, the calls for violence and even (*gasp) insurrection have been rising. Specifically, the left believes that intimidation or outright...

San Francisco -- Former U.S. Representative and U.S. Army Reserve LTC Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) sent cease and desist letters today to U.S. Senator Mitt Romney and former television personality Keith Olbermann regarding their statements asserting that Gabbard "was parroting false Russian propaganda..." and "They (Tucker Carlson and Gabbard) are Russian Assets and there is a war..." respectively. The letters demand Romney and Olbermann cease these false, defamatory, and malicious claims and that they retract/takedown all such statements made about Gabbard and destroy all copies of those statements "Truth is the first casualty of war," Gabbard said. "When powerful, influential people...
