Keith Olbermann is a leftist lapdog stooge. Try to E-mail this clown or his producers. Now E-mail any news or opinion guy at fox news, goes right to thier in-box. There is a reason for this, because in a free exchange of thoughts and ideas, they lose. When your position is so weak that you must use half-truths, faulty logic, sarcasm and deception to get your point accross, your position is crap. Why hasn’t Keith Olbermann been fired? It’s because his marxist leaning handlers at MSNBC, and the leftist board of directors at its parent company G.E., must continue to sway public opinion with thier socialist/marxist ideas and present them as a viable option for our this great country of ours. It is unfortunate that in order to preserve our democracy we must put up with these lunatics. and thier hate America first agenda. Now go out and hit these idiots where it hurts, in the corprate wallet!

“Keith is the best. I am addicted to his program. He is truthful and that is what frightens many of you. Countown, Rachael Maddow and Hardball are excellent news shows, check them out. You might learn something.”

Catherine: I have checked them out. Unlike you apparently, I don’t get my information from one station. All three people you referenced (Olbermann, Maddow, and Mathews) are extreme left-leaning liberal media types. Their constant point is everything liberal is right, everything conservative is wrong. They are the TV equivilent of Air America Radio. Or, for that matter, Rush Limbaugh. All one sided info, all the time.

I’m not a big fan of O’Reilly on Fox News either but at least I’ve seen him attack conservatives on points he disagrees with. Lou Dobbs has no problem attacking either side with vigor to the point of almost being offensive. I have NEVER seen Olbermann say anything negative against the left. That alone tells you he’s just pushing an agenda and couldn’t care less what is true and what isn’t.

Let me tell you all this. I am a bipolar person and have been on medication for 12 yrs. Keith
shows all the signs of one who is not taking their meds. I see it by his body language and his
explosive nature. Enough of that,what I want to say to all of you who think Fox news is one sided is,look at all the other networks,cable or your basic abc,cbs nbc crap and you put fox in the mix. Im hearing the word fixed? Hell,they have to be even though they are not otherwise we would all just sit there watching the idot box and not assuming there might be another side to the story. So run with that one for a while. Blog away!!!

Oh about Obermann,the clock is ticking and get him some Depakote.

I’m not quite sure as to what has become of the former sportscaster Keith Olbermann over the last decade or so. I have diagnosed some serious cases of Bipolarism, Turrets Syndrome, as well as various cases of Psychological Disorders, and it would appear just from what I have witnessed of his show, that Mr. Olbermann may well be suffering from any of these mental diseases. Perhap those that employ him and or his family should seek to have him committed to a respectable mental establishment, where he can get the badly needed help he so needs, before he possibly hurts himself or someone else. The classic behavioral patterns that Mr. Olbermann exibits, are signs of his mental illness becomming more and more acute. Why he has not already been brought in for the good of his own mental health is beyond me, but I would assert that he will only get worse as time goes on without immediate psychiatric therapy. Here’s wishing him, good mental help and good mental health.

Olbermann does have a growing number of viewers. His success is due to his devotion many here have forgotten. It’s called “Truth.”

You wouldn’t know the truth if it bit you on the ass! Franky

I accidently turned the channel to this man called Keith Oberberman

He is a disgrace to Journialism. What an obnoxious over the top man who goves beyond the pale. It’s like he was never raised right- his poor relatives to be related to anyone like him.

I agree with that gentleman, Archie 110%. I just happened to flip to MSNBC looking for weather channels, and there it was I saw a very angry man. My wife who happened to pass by asked me what’s going on & who was that mad man. “Is it real?”

I like to hear commentaries, whether for the left or for the right. It could just be an opinion of one person, and somehow I get to learn something. And going to another commenators also sometimes balances things out. But K.O. is not worth listening – he has an awfully filthy mouth & no dignity at all as a TV media man. Why are the sponsors staying?

Today is September 10th and I just finished watching the end of “Count Down” and Keith Obermann’s latest rant about the 9/11 tribute during the GOP convention, the same type of rant that got him dumped from the MSNBC political desk. For the longest time I have felt that Olbermann was just a typical cable news commentator, trying to effect politics by using lies and inuendo to make his dubious points. Now, I have to question whether he’s mentally ill. Even after most of the Palin Rumors have been denounced by every other network he continues to report them as truthful. Maybe he thinks if he says it enough people will actually believe him.

He attacks the GOP and claims that they have “hijacked 9/11″ but he forgets that at a time where his career was in shambles he used 9/11 shamelessly to get rehired at MSNBC. He attacks the GOP when they use misinformation but never calls the Democrats for the same thing. And make no bones about it, both parties are opposite sides of the same coin.

This was a person who I watched back at KTLA in Los Angeles in the mid-1980’s when he was the week-end sports guy, and when he went to ESPN. I enjoyed his wit and his ability to not take himself or sports too seriously. But somewhere along the way something happened. He’s become an angry, bitter person and it shows. No wonder MSNBC was rated dead last during the conventions, behind CNN, Fox, and, I suppose, the cartoon network. No wonder O’Reily’s interview with Obama trounced Olbermann’s that aired the same night. No wonder the mainstream media, even the left-leaning ones, don’t take him seriously.

I have no idea why MSNBC keeps him, except to preach to the far-left liberals. You know, the ones that even mainstream Democrats try to keep a distance from. But it is seriously time for someone over at NBC to take a long look at him and realize he is the newscasting equivilent to professional wrestling. All show but when you look deeper you realize none of it is real.
