Ah… the honesty and consistency of Olbermann:

Well I like Olbermann, he’s pretty funny. But let’s be realistic, just because someone calls themselves a journalist doesn’t make it so. Olbermann is competing with Jon Stewart not the New York Times. Like O’Reilly, Beck and Limbaugh, he’s an entertainer so regardless of what he says he is, he shouldn’t be held to the standards of a journalist.

The meaning of journalist is under attack from commentators, entertainers and hucksters, we shouldn’t further the assault by validating their other’s claims of being journalists.

Mediaite now is the new “twisted facts”, the Carl Rove method of half-truths that are WHOLE LIES. Mediaits insults Stanford and Palo Alto where the great University is located. Shame and ignorance practiced by intolerant biased self-centered morons.

Sure, why not! We all need a laugh and certainly it’s all bull anyway.

Why not … he might be the most honest person among the “news/opinion” genre in prime time cable news. I’m an MSNBC fan… they tell it like it is more often than CNN and certainly Fox.

Olbermann is not, never has been, and never will be a journalist. He’s a sportscaster who plays a journalist on a show nobody watches.

Should Keith Olbermann Be Appearing In Political Ads?

The short answer would be no, but as you say, it’s not entirely clear that Olbermann is a willing participant. Of course, now that the ad has seen the light, it probably wouldn’t help quiet Keith’s detractors, but you’d think that MSNBC would still register an objection sometime this morning.

Please someone explain how you can be an Anti-Special Interest Group? Aren’t you a special interest group if you are a group against special interest groups? Wouldn’t your special interest be, Anti-Special Interest Groups?
Just wondering.
