Keith Olbermann makes no attempt to disguise his prejudice when it comes to political issues. So much for any kind of ‘fairness doctrine’ when it comes to reporting. I guess it doesn’t matter that he masquerades as an actual reporter, although I have to admit that he seems to have stopped trying to pretend to be an unbiased reporter some time ago.
It was during the presidential campaign that even MSNBC couldn’t continue to pretend that what he and his comrade Chris Matthews (’I get a thrill up my leg’) were anything more than Obama cheerleaders. Both Matthews and Olbermann were demoted and moved into the more shadowy time slots of the ‘news’. They were also no longer advertised as journalists or reporters, but now as commentators. Well, they do comment, and comment, and comment. Their unabashed worship is a tad embarrassing.
In the video clip below we are treated to yet another of Keith Olbermann’s little slips on air. Tonight, he covered the presidential State of the Union Address that wasn’t really a State of the Union Address but looked just like one only he’s only been in office for a month Address. I’m not sure what it was called. Anyway, Olbermann was covering it and discussing it, gushing over it, with his panel of guests when Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal stepped out to give the Republican response. Before Jindal even got to the microphone, Olbermann had already rendered his judgment of Jindal’s speech.
‘Oh God’, he muttered.
Olberman is such a Drama Queen!

I am just glad that PMSNBC is fair and balanced otherwise you might think they were partial to Democrats.
I did not watch any of it. I had already planned on licking the link screen in my dryer and I must admit, it is very clean.
I heard that Santa Obama gave away everything except free weight loss and toilet paper. I am sure that is just an oversight. I am checking the Constitution because I am sure that is also guaranteed. I missed out completing college. Am I covered under Santa’s plan?

Listen, we all can do something to the Obama giveaways.
Say no to everything he offers - like any help for small business, or any help with schooling, or healthcare. We should all send our taxcuts back, if we get something in our checks. Refuse all federal help. Our States should refuse all help as well.
That will teach the left and the Obama groupies a lesson that we mean business.

“Darryl and Chic, why are you defending Olbermann? Its not like his voice is hard to recognize.”–Beth
So easy to recognize that you got it WRONG. I hope this experience teaches you something about jumping to conclusions, Beth, but it probably won’t. Most likely you’ll jump again before long. In a way, you and Matthews have the same problem.
