...... Olbermann is funny - and that really is the whole point, political commentary as Faux has presented is a joke. There's nothing fair and balanced of it.

Is Olbermann biased? Absolutely, however, the content he presents does not present the omissions and misrepresentation/ specious speculation that Faux does.
I've watched O'Rielly and his show is nothing but a shoutfest so that O'Rielly can deam himself superior and all knowing - his opposite would not be Olbermann but rather Stephen Colbert.

Out of curiosity have you watched Olbermann's Countdown?

Yes, I have. Amazingly enough I, not being a liberal like you've routinely shown yourself to be and thus not being in the same mindset of Olbermann, see a superior than thou ego maniac that enjoys sitting behind his camera to insult and belittle whoever he chooses and rarely gives any legitimate oppertunity of anyone of an opposite mind to give even close to as strong of a case on anything as he does. He's the liberal side of the exact same coin as Hannity, and I find them both obnoxious

Olbermann is creating a civil war over there at MSNBC.

Olbermann Insults Matthews On Air, Chris Strikes Back

By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive)

About 24 hours after dissing Joe Scarborough via an open microphone during Monday's coverage of the Democratic National Convention, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann took an insulting poke at partner Chris Matthews.

Wonderfully, Matthews didn't take it lying down.

This raises an important question: is the hatred Olbermann has been spewing on virtually a nightly basis beginning to take its toll on his fellow on air personalities presaging a looming uncivil war at MSNBC?

Consider that on Tuesday evening, after Matthews finished sharing his views concerning Hillary Clinton's upcoming speech, Olbermann arrogantly introduced House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland) thusly (h/t TVNewser):

[...]

Now, with the emergence of "Countdown," "Hardball" is almost an afterthought as MSNBC builds its entire prime time schedule around Olbermann as evidenced by the recent replacement of Abrams' "Verdict" with a new show by Olbermann protege Rachel Maddow.

None of this can possibly sit well with Matthews.

Add it all up, and we might be witnessing the normal Olbermann modus operandi wherein he offends enough of his co-workers to either be fired or forced to resign.

Potentially making matters worse is a new petition called "Morning Joe's Gotta Go" just started online to get Scarborough fired (h/t Johnny Dollar). This appears to have been created -- or, at the very least, is supported -- by the blog Olbermann writes for, Daily Kos.

I'm sure that will sit well with Olbermann's colleagues, as well as the good folks at General Electric and NBC who must be wondering what all this on air bickering between their leading political talking heads is doing for their brand.

Olbermann has bragged that until his protege, Maddow, was hired and given her own show, he had the shortest amount of time between walking in the door and being anointed.

What political candidate does that sorta remind you of who burst on the scene and then quickly rose to the top?

Thank you for that.

Commie Keith can never be considered part of the newsmedia rather, only the media. Same goes for Limbaugh.

Reverend_Hellh0und · 08-30-08, 12:41 PM

The "huxtables" thing is the latest coordinated effort by the press to lighty massage the viewers into liking obama....

it is all over the place, transparent, and cheap

Explain your reasoning perhaps?

Even Bill Maher felt that Olberman's gushing coverage at the DNC convention was embarrassing. Maher said it sounded like he wanted to f*** Obama.
