Olbermann Calls Mediaite “Gullible” For Reporting An Inconvenient Truth
On Countdown tonight, host Keith Olbermann called Mediaite “gullible” for posting a video clip critical of his evaluation of the Tea Party movement – most notably the apparent lack of diversity amongst their ranks. The low-budget clip (made by the Dallas Tea Party movement) invited Olbermann to visit their Tea Party convention, and more pointedly, criticized the MSNBC talent line-up for lacking their own diversity. Somehow pointing this out makes us “gullible.” Then again – some people will believe anything.
We’re gullible? Well then, we are in fine company with the many other media websites that also covered the very same story, including Politico and TVNewser. And truth be told, we were the only site that first highlighted Olbermann’s point-of-view. But, judge not, lest ye be judged — so let’s look at the diversity of guests championed by Olbermann.
According to Olbermannwatch, the admittedly anti-Olbermann website claims to have looked at the guests on Countdown for the last two weeks and found just two African-American guests compared to 46 white guests. Oops.
The opposite of gullibility is suspicion, or having the idea or impression that something or someone is of questionable, dishonest, or dangerous character or condition. Consider Mediaite suspicious of Olbermann’s specious claims.
