Olbermann Admits He’s An Obama Sycophant

During his coverage of Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democrat convention tonight Keith Olbermann actually admitted that he’s beginning to sound “borderline sycophantic.”

OLBERMANN: That could not have done better for them. That could not have done better for them. Right to the point of the little girls taking the mikes away and suddenly turning out to be hams. It’s wonderful.  It really was terrific. And notice, did you notice throughout that, especially as it built towards its conclusion, the woman in that convention hall--the ones we saw at least--we can’t say every one--but there were tears throughout among the women.  And it was not a maudlin speech, it was not a salesmanship speech.  There was just a—I know, I’m beginning to sound borderline sycophantic on this. So I’ll stop.  You start.

Really, Keith?  Just borderline?

I’d have thought the Obamas would have had him on the payroll by now.  They probably would, except that a) Olbermann is more than willing to do this stuff for free and b) he seems to have a cable viewing audience roughly the size of the average cat blogger’s audience.

What never ceases to amaze me in watching the MSM coverage of this election is that EVERY SINGLE COMMENTATOR is a liberal democrat.  Every one.  There is not even a pretense of trying to appear fair and balanced.  I see “roundtables” on MSNBC and CNN where it is all democrats giving their opinions.  Just obscene.

And now we hear that Obama has contacted the DOJ demanding that the Ayers Ad running against him be shut down immediately.  Huh?  The DOJ shut down an ad?  Full of lies they call it?  I’ve seen the ad - no lies there.  Is this a vision of the future with a liberal White House and liberal Congress?

These people are scary.

Actually Keith Overbite is nothing more than a towel boy for the DNC and nothing about him is objective. It doesn’t take a genius to see his bias. Also, he isn’t very good and not very credible.

Sounds like Chris Matthews’ leg-thrills are contagious.

What’s next?

Are we going to be told that Andrea Mitchel receives Dem talking points?  That would be a real shocker.

They will probably try to tell us that Christians love Jesus Christ also.

Man you really have to watch these people or they will try to get one by you!

It’s funny, whoever wrote this article cracked on Keith Olbermann’s ratings… I wonder.  How many people visit this site daily or read this pathetic blog?  KO has almost 1 million viewers nightly?  How about the author of this drivel?

He finally admitted what we have known for about two years now.

That’s a regurgitated talking point from the O’Reiley Factor (more viewers = you’re correct).  It’s the sort of logic you expect from the endless “liberal media” whining when it’s clearly the same people who get most of their news from bias’d sources such as Fox News or the Drudge report.  Olbermann..... is what he is (kind of irritating, better as a sportscaster), but at least he doesn’t insult people’s intelligence by advertising his show as the No Spin zone.
