Keith Olbermann Calls Gov. Ed Rendell The “Worst Person In The World” Because He Likes Fox News

It doesn’t take a lot to make Keith Olbermann hate you.  All it took for Rendell was to say that Fox News provided fairer primary coverage than the other networks.

The funny thing is that Olbermann’s rant about Rendell’s perfectly acceptable comment actually proves the latter’s point perfectly, at least as far as MSNBC is concerned.

One word: ratings



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

Ratings, yea, where are the ratings, we were hoping for ratings!  Oh, we are the boutique of cable news so we won’t actually get any ratings—but our viewers are the smuggest of all!/sarcasm off

I can’t comment on the actual video because I just can’t watch Olbermann.

Journalism is not the same animal that it was when I was in college. Nevertheless, anyone who thinks that Fox News’ coverage is fair and balanced vis a vis this election is deluded.

oh yeah mlr, and msnbc and Chris Matthews is fair and balanced?  It was Matthews who said that Hillary was only elected because Bill cheated on her.  And have you forgotten about the “thrill running up my leg” statement by Chris Matthews?  Here’s the link in case you did.

Yeah that sounds objective.  msnbc in clearly in the tank for Obama.

Too funny!

hearing that diatribe with Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in d minor” going was icing on the cake.  Yes, Fast Eddie is a Clintonista to be sure.
