Tag: Keith Olbermann

The personification of the angry left. His rants are legendary and his behavior has earned him the well-deserved nickname “Keith Overbearing.” Fired by MSNBC in late 2010, we expect his Current TV program to be more of the same.

Desperation: Olbermann calls Scott Brown a homophobic racist who supports violence against women.

Desperate times call for desperate words at MSNBC. So Keith Olbermann called Scott Brown a racist.

Desperate times call for desperate words at MSNBC. So Keith Olbermann did his finest Captain Queeg impression last night, saying:

Lost in the angst about Obama and Coakley is the little-recognized, real headline of this book. You heard Scott Brown speculating, talking out of his bare bottom, about whether or not the President of the United States was born out of wedlock. You’ve heard Scott Brown respond to the shout of his supporter that they should stick a curling iron in Ms. Coakley’s rectum with the answer, “We can do this.”

You may not have heard Scott Brown support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage or describing to two women having a child as “just not normal.” You may not have heard Scott Brown associating himself with the tea party movement, perhaps the saddest collection of people who don’t want to admit why they really hate since the racists of the south in the 60s insisted they were really just concerned about states rights. You may not have heard Scott Brown voting against paid leaves of absence for Massachusetts Red Cross workers who had gone to New York to help after 9-11.

In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model tea-bagging supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees.

At any other time in our history, this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified (sic) and as a disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives. Instead, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is close to sending this bad joke to the Senate of the United States.

Excuse us, Keith, but that’s “Senator Irresponsible, Homophobic, Racist, Reactionary, Ex-Nude Model, Tea-Bagger” to you.

The voters of Massachusetts, Keith, Massachusetts. Bastion of liberal thought and left wing lunacy.

What a hate-filled, irrational screed. Is it any wonder no one watches this clown anymore?

Olbermann wants to know why Scott Brown’s nude Cosmo centerfold hasn’t become a political liability

Left wing lunatic Keith Olbermann looks at Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown’s nude centerfold in Cosmo and wonders why it hasn’t become an overwhelming political negative for the candidate.

And this, friends, underscores the fact that there truly is a huge philosophical difference between MSNBC hosts Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.

Click to enlarge. The photo, that is.

What’s the difference?

Left wing lunatic Keith Olbermann looks at Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown’s nude centerfold in Cosmo and wonders why it hasn’t become an overwhelming political negative for the candidate. But left wing lunatic Chris Matthews looks at the same centerfold and quietly wonders why he’s getting another one of those thrills up his leg.

See, there really are differences between the two.

Homer Simpson does Letterman’s Top Ten list (We guarantee you’ll love Number Seven)

In this video clip, Homer lists “The Top Ten things I’ve learned from the last 20 years of television.” We like Homer Simpson a lot more than we like David Letterman. But then, who doesn’t?

Congratulations, Keith Olbermann. You are officially the Stupidest Person of the Day

We have to admit, we never thought that anyone would come along who would make 9/11 truthers look rational. But we never figured Keith Olbermann into the equation.

We have to admit, we never thought that anyone would come along who would make 9/11 truthers look rational. But we never figured Keith Olbermann into the equation..

Fortunately, Olbermannwatch.com was on the case. We all owe this dedicated group of masochists a debt of gratitude. They actually subject themselves to watching Olbermann’s show so you don’t have to.

As Olbermannwatch.com mockingly reports, “First Oralmann tells us the crotch bomber was no big deal, just a schlub who didn’t pose any real threat to anyone. But consistency is not considered a virtue on OlbyPlanet, so Krazy Keith goes on from there to suggest that our spy organizations deliberately buried the intel about the crotch bomber–knowing he could kill 300 people. Why? To embarrass the Obama administration! John Gibson has the details on the latest Krazy Keith Konspiracy … listen to the end as a genius caller takes it to the next level.”

Why stop there, Keith? Any theories on the lone gunman and the grassy knoll?

Adios, amigos. MSNBC’s Schultz and Maddow losing viewers

MSNBC executives must be sweating bullets. Last quarter was a for the also-ran lefty network, and last week was even worse.

Why is this man smiling? He must not have seen last week's ratings.
Why is this man smiling? He must not have seen last week's ratings.

MSNBC executives must be sweating bullets. Last quarter was a ratings disaster for the also-ran lefty network, and last week was even worse.

For the first time since her premiere last September, Rachel Maddow failed to top 1,000,000 viewers all five nights of the week.

And Ed Schultz. Poor Ed Schultz. After his disappointing premiere back in April, networks executives reassured worried advertisers that his ratings would grow. In reality, they’ve actually become more abysmal. Last week the bombastic buffoon’s total audience fell under 500,000 viewers three of the five nights.

Maddow has a bit of an excuse because Keith Olbermann wasn’t around as a lead-in to her show. But she’s been able to top that magic million mark during previous Olbermann absences.

Meanwhile, O’Reilly, Hannity and Beck have turned Fox News into the 1927 Yankees of cable news.

That sound you hear is the gnashing of teeth emanating from MSNBC’s executive suites.

Fox News kills competition, Glenn Beck’s ratings make mockery of boycott

Beck’s ratings are higher than ever. Remarkably, his show doesn’t run during primetime, yet his audience is larger than every prime time on every cable news network except Fox News’ O’Reilly-Hannity tandem. How long until Fox moves him into a more prominent time slot? And who will go to make room for him?

Is Keith Olbermann’s girfriend sleeping her way to the top? Or even the middle?

KATY Tur’s star keeps rising at NBC Universal, causing some media watchers to ask whether her fatherly boyfriend, MSNBC blabbermouth Keith Olbermann, 50, could be boosting the news cutie’s ascension.

We take back all the nasty things we’ve said about Keith Olbermann. It now appears that he is a warm, considerate man who goes out of his way to help young people pursue their broadcasting dreams.

Especially if they curl up in bed with his doughy white body.

Here’s how the New York Post tells the sordid tale:

“KATY Tur’s star keeps rising at NBC Universal, causing some media watchers to ask whether her fatherly boyfriend, MSNBC blabbermouth Keith Olbermann, 50, could be boosting the news cutie’s ascension. Tur, 25, who was hired earlier this year by the NBC-owned Weather Channel to chase storms, has started freelancing as a WNBC/Ch. 4 reporter. An MSNBC rep insisted, ‘Keith has not spoken to anyone about a job at WNBC since 1980. He is delighted that Katy is also working for the Weather Channel.’ Just imagine the reaction if Bill O’Reilly, the object of his pathetic obsession, had a chickie-poo half his age getting promoted on a Fox affiliate. It would be fodder for a weeks worth of Speshul Kommentz.”

While you were reading that quote, we had time to reconsider our position on this issue.

Anyone who actually has sex with Keith Olbermann in order to get ahead has definitely earned whatever success they achieve. And more. Much, much more.

CNN’s new strategy: “Hey, nobody watches us so let’s attack the people they do watch.”

Ratings-challenged Campbell Brown reported on the feud between Bill O’Reilly and Keith Olbermann and actually mentioned that their ratings handily top hers.

How long until you start following the latest Obama fashion trend?

The One grew one. What about you?
The One grew one. What about you?

When President Obama made his speech in Cairo last week, people noticed something new, something now, something oh-so-Obama.

We’re referring to the wispy, but stylish ‘stache gracing his upper lip. Admittedly, it wasn’t the manliest mustache and it would have been more at home on a 15-year old boy.

Nevertheless, a new wispy mustache craze is sweeping Washington, DC. Everyone wants one because everyone wants to be just like the Greatest President In History. The literati, the glitterati, the cognoscenti. What about you?

It won’t be long before you’re no one without one.

As you can see, the trend is spreading faster than Swine Flu and it’s a lot less deadly.

Next time Joe Biden puts his foot in his mouth, it will just call attention to the brand new Obama on his upper lip.

Keith Olbermann calls Perez Hilton “an intellectual titan” and “a civil rights leader”

Perez Hilton is “an intellectual titan” and a “civil rights leader” while Miss California Carrie Prejean is a vile human being for holding the same opinion as the majority of people in her state and in the nation.

Apparently, Olbermann got his fill of juvenile sex puns in the infamous tea bagging episode, and now decided that breast implants should become his next frontier of intellectual exploration.

We realize it sounds preposterous, but that’s precisely what liberal icon Keith Olbermann and his vile guest discuss. With great glee.

Apparently, Olbermann has given up any hope of attracting a larger audience and is now interested only in being as absurd as humanly possible.

Congratulations, Keith. It’s always nice to see someone achieve their goal.

Government bailout subsidizing Olbermann salary,
sign the petition


Left wing lunatic Ben Afleck does a perfect impression of
left wing lunatic Keith Olbermann on Saturday Night Live.

Is Keith Olbermann a hypocrite? Of course. A congenital liar? Certainly. A lunatic. Without a doubt.

That’s why we’re happy to lend our support to this internet petition objecting to his latest outrage. Click on the link at the bottom of the story to sign the petition.

Dear Mr. Olbermann,

While General Electric, the parent-company of your MSNBC network, was negotiating a $126 billion taxpayer-funded bailout, you signed a new contract raising your salary from $4 million to $7.5 million annually. You have used your show as a platform to call for the resignation of corporate executives accepting excessive bonuses on the backs of taxpayers who are picking up the tab for these atrocious bailouts, yet you yourself have no problem engaging in the same “class economic rape” that you accuse them of.

Please heed your own advice and stop accepting taxpayer money to subsidize your nightly diatribes. Resign or return the balance of your excessive raise to the U.S. Treasury.
Sincerely,

(add your signature at the link below)

GE shareholders erupt in anger over MSNBC’s leftwing bias

(UPDATE BELOW)

GE shareholders gather outside MSNBC's headquarters. Keith Olbermann cowers in fear inside.
GE shareholders gather outside MSNBC's headquarters. Keith Olbermann cowers in fear inside.

Anger erupted at GE’s annual shareholders meeting on Wednesday. “The crowd was angry with MSNBC because of its leftward tilt,” one person observed. “Some former employees said they were embarrassed by it.”

The complaints came hot and heavy. During the question-and-answer period, shareholders repeatedly asked executives about political views expressed on MSNBC and CNBC.

They were pissed about the report that GE honcho Jeff Immelt and NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker reportedly held a dinner meeting at which they told top CNBC executives and and on-air talent to take it easy on President Obama.

They were steamed that MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann didn’t challenge of lunatic Janeane Garofalo’s lunatic ramblings in an interview last week.

It went on and on. The angry questioners refused to be silenced. GE finally resorted to shutting off their microphones, which angered them even more.

“My biggest surprise was the open hostility to MSNBC,” noted one shareholder. “It was noticeable and loud. I don’t remember any of this going on last year.”

A few weeks ago, President Obama told a group of executives, “My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

Looks like President Obama was right about the pitchforks. But this isn’t quite the way he had envisioned them being used.

Tea Party coverage leads to surge in Fox ratings

April 15, 2009 (Tea Party Night) Cable News RatingsEveryone’s ratings were up on the night of the Tea Parties, but the ratings at Fox were in the stratosphere. They can’t even see MSNBC in their rear view mirror anymore.

The Comedy Network’s Daily Show and Colbert climbed into the top ten at the expense of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and CNN’S Larry King.

The ratings for Ed Schultz’ EdShow were so abysmal that MSNBC may rename it “Weekday at Bernie’s.” And all that talk about “teabagging” caused Anderson Cooper to suck. Or maybe we should have said his ratings sucked. Yeah, that’s what we should have said.

Angry activist, actress Janeane Garofalo announces that you’re a racist

Janeane Garofalo and Keith Olbermann are complete opposites. She’s angry and nuts, but he’s nuts and angry. Watching their alternate reality is like being dropped into some parallel universe where everything is twisted about 180 degrees.

Here are a few choice comments from Garofalo on Olbermann’s Thursday show. Amazingly, she knows things about you and the Tea Parties and Fox News that no one else has ever known. Or ever will know.

“Racism straightup. Nothing but a bunch of teabagging racists.” Blah-blah-blah. “These guys hate that a black guy is in the White House.” Blah-blah-blah. “Fox News loves to foment this anti-intellectualism because that’s their bread and butter.” Blah-blah-blah. “The Republican hyphen conservative movement has crystalized into the white power movement.”

Olbermann actually treats this lunatic like she’s a rational human being. Of course, that would be the pot calling the kettle black.

Hey, that wasn’t a racist comment. No matter what Garofalo says.

Update: Please read our subsequent Memo to the lovely and gracious Janeane Garofalo:

Lou Dobbs calls Keith Olbermann a left wing hack, and more

It’s Easter weekend, family is visiting, and we weren’t going to spend too much time on IHateTheMedia.com. But some things are just to sweet to pass up.

Olbermann boycotts the truth, says UPS is boycotting O’Reilly

"Sssssh. Let's not have any more talk about retractions."
"Sssssh. Let's not have any more talk about retractions."

Keith Olbermann announced on March 31 that UPS had pulled its advertising from rival Bill O’Reilly’s Fox program.

Uh-oh. Talk about your inconvenient truths. UPS quickly issued a statement saying Olbermann doesn’t know his ascot from a hole in the ground.

“We are writing to clarify our statement of last Friday,” said Norman Black, the national spokesman for UPS, “because it appears to have been misinterpreted. UPS has not ‘pulled’ any advertising from Fox News nor has the company taken a position on the ‘ThinkProgress’ campaign. Our intent on Friday simply was to note that UPS does not have any pending advertising plans with the O’Reilly show.”

O’Reilly is still waiting for Olbermann to retract both his statement and his claws.

Our condolences to that smarmy, lying a-hole Keith Olbermann

Keith Olbermann’s mother died on Saturday. As much as we dislike everything about Keith Olbermann (and have ever since he was a young sportscaster in Los Angeles), losing a parent is always a sad event. It’s something you never really get over.

This video is Olbermann’s tribute to his mom. You’ll love her, even if you hate him. You’ll quickly see where he gets his caustic outlook on life and his love of baseball.

Sincerely, our best wishes go out to Keith Olbermann.

Olbermann uses understatement for the first time, admits “I’m the a-hole.”

Just when you were beginning to think Keith Olbermann was completely out of touch with reality, he goes and makes sense.

While interviewing new MSNBC host Ed Schultz, Olbermann pigeonholed all the other role players at the network.

“Alright,” Olbermann said, “you’ve got the conundrum all of us have as this thing gets more and more successful. The show’s got to look like a relative of all the other shows right before it and right after it. But not too much. I mean, Chris is the political inside-baseball guy. Rachel is the affable, charming policy wonk. I’m the a-hole. What are you going to be?”

We don’t really know which is more surprising: Olbermann acknowledging his assholishness or his belief (despite ratings evidence to the contrary) that MSNBC is getting “more and more successful.”
