    I watch Keith Olbermann as often as I can. He is my Edward R. Murrow. I cannot say the same for anyone at FOX News .....and it really has less to do with ideology than the simple fact that the points on Olbermann's show can backed up with research of the facts, whereas NONE of the shows at FOX can. It really IS that simple!

    But then, FOX News really isn't a news outfit....

      He is always honest except for when he lies. The self titled "modern day Murrow" is a pathetic shill for a political party and not capable of carrying Murrow's trenchcoat, much less his legacy.

        Perfect (and typical of you). Just post your opinion that he lies and don't provide any examples or supporting evidence. Just pollute the boards. Good job, lovey. ;-P

          C'mon mesodude. I constantly see you make comments about doing someone's research for them. Fire up your googler and type in "Olbermann" and "lies". Look up chicken and waffles while you're at it. His racist comments are allowed on NFL broadcasts with no repercussions. Just the other day he made a comment about Lieberman that told about the million dollars that Joe had accepted from some lobby in the last 5 years. He followed up that perfectly fine statement with the innuendo: "And that's all that we know about". He backhandedly accused Lieberman of taking bribes without proof. Ask Keith for his proof of that one mesodude and I will know that you are not a shill like Olbermann.

            WHAT racist comments? And compared to whom? Rush Limbaugh and HIS failed attempt to be a sportscaster?

            And I would like to see proof that Olbermann WAS lying about Lieberman.

              You cannot 'compare' racists statements, they either are or aren't racist statements.

              But if you want to 'compare', I'd suggest you 'compare' them to one of the Left's longest standing LEADER that used the N word on TV.

                  Sigh, though I always knew you were smart enough to find things on Gooogle I must have given you too much credit.

                  It tokk me what, 10 seconds to find a news story that's been out for a very long time now.

                  http://video.google.com/videosearch?client=firefox...

                  Here is the link, you are either trying to be dishonest, or too lazy to look it up, because you don't want it known?

                  If the link doesn't work, just pull up that lil site called youtube (know it, heard of it?) and type in Senator Byrd and the N word. Viola the truth will set you free, if you are interested in the 'truth' that is.

                    Senator Byrd? From HOW LONG AGO? Seems to me he has expressed adequate contrition....

                    {sigh!} Oh, nevermind.......

                      LOL how long? Boy if only you'd use that tack in say 5-10-15 years when you regurgitate Bush every time someone talks about a Dem.

                      Contrition? So he says what is in his heart and then says I'm sorry you think that makes it all better?

                      I bet if Rush said he was sorry for ever thing you don't like he said you'd not use that tact.

                      If he wasn't a 'racist' Byrd would not have even thought about saying something as vile as he did on TV. Yet you don't have a problem with it. Why? Because he belongs to your party. You know the party that thinks it's ok if they act out like this, because they are Dems and the supposed arbiters of the downtrodden. You guys make me giggle.

                        That's a bunch of BS. And Rush is still saying his racist bile..... And is he sorry? Hardly! He is the epitome of the the angry white male... (ie: his brain-dead "dittohead" audience....)

                        Just the other day he pontificated for over an hour about how Obama "wrote in a thesis" while in college that he did not believe Constitution protects individual rights. After he found out the website he was siting was a spoof and that the President did not write such a thesis, Rushbo did not back up one bit...... A bigger man would have recognized his error and would have admitted his mistake.....but not Rush! ....saying that he "stands by" everything he said because, after all, he said, "we know that's what Obama really believes...."

                        Oh, for the love of God! This is upside-down world!

                        No, you make me shake my head in sadness at the thought of how brain-dead we have really become....

                        I tell you what....you quit bringing up things Robert Byrd said ions ago and I'll try not to bring up the ignorant s**t that el-fatso said yesterday!

                          I dunno, you seem fairly 'angry' to me Scott.

                          el-fatso?

                          Ah I must 'assume' you must be the height of fitness and slim and trim?

                Google "chicken and waffles" and "olbermann". The racist comment from Olbermann was uttered during an NFL pre-game or post-game show. Why do you think it is that you don't know about it?

                  As an Edward R. Murrow wannabe, Keith Olbermann should have proof that there is more than the one million dollars we know about before saying: "that we know of".

                  Keith is an entertainer, a liberal Limbaugh, if you will. But he is not a journalist or a reporter.

                    OK. Olbermann's an entertainer. Whatever. He can still win a debate with el-fatso with "half his brain tied behind his back." .....To quote an oxymoronic Rushism.....

                      scott4261 - This thread is about Olbermann. Do you view winning a debate against Limbaugh as a badge of honor?

                    LOL I know Scott, if it's not found on Daily Kos of Huff & Puff there is no way that it's founded on a factual basis.

                  Oh, really? And I suppose Senator Joseph McCarthy was a raging liberal too?

                  The truth is: The modern-day Republican Party very much takes its cues from the wacked-out paranoia of McCarthy and Olbermann is correctly calling them on their BS. So, yes, I consider him a modern day Edward R. Murrow.

                  And please.....give me an example of a lie from the mouth of Keith Olbermann. I'd be interested to hear it.....

                          Ah like the neg rebuttal when I provided the link of your Dem leader saying the N word on TV? Some rebuttal that was, it really put me in my place. You really don't want a link do you? I think you'd rather just say something and not want any proof that would show your point of view as wrong.

                "Olbermann's show can backed up with research of the facts, whereas NONE of the shows at FOX can. It really IS that simple!

                But then, FOX News really isn't a news outfit...."

                NONE?.

                As in Zilch?

                As in not one?

                NADA?

                "But then, FOX News really isn't a news outfit."

                But then again you are not A REAL Unbiased observer are you?

                        "Who was the collectivist share-the-wealther, who was boasting to the reporter visiting from 'The New Yorker Magazine,' of having been able to send a check for $1,200 to every man, woman and child in the state since, quote 'Alaska is sometimes described as America's socialist state, because of its collective ownership of resources?'"

                        And what exactly IS socialism, if not this....at its very base definition.....

                        Not a lie. True.

                          Why did you only read part of the link, scott 4261?

                          Here's the part that describes the lie:

                          "And, the blurb under the video at the page above says this:

                          In this case, Sarah Palin is accusing Barack Obama of advocating socialism when she literally used that word to describe the collective wealth sharing in her home state of Alaska."

                          Sarah Palin never literally used the word "socialist" to describe what happened in her state.

                          It was a lie to say that she used the word. Not the truth.

                            You play dumb well, scott4261. Follow the links in the story I highlighted. It details each of Keith's top ten lies in 2007.

                            Altered statements from Rosie O'Donnell to make her look better, etc. He is really just lies and untruths aplenty.

                            I find it hard to believe that O'Reilly beats Olbermann in 18-34. But then, they aren't watching O'Reilly OR Olbermann....they are watching Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.....AND they are more informed than the average FOX viewer....

                              Just because you find it hard to believe doesn't make it any less true or Keith any less of a liar about the subject.

                                Scott is blind and he would never admit what you say is true, even with the links he asked for. And did you notice, he hasn't shut up yet?
