Great Moments in Broadcast Journalism #118

This guy is a penis with ears.

[pumkinpi2]

Ah, Keith, the ideal journalist.

[pimpdalyrical]

Come on now, it's not like Olby is worried about any kids in the audience, or anybody being offended by using "G...D.."

He knows nobody is watching.......

Not to mention, yes keith, the belief system of the most powerful person on the planet, is our business.

[donvitor]

As for this video. I don't get it.

I guess the point is to make Oberman look like a jacksass. (wich he often is)

But is it that he stumbles over the words that are suposed to be the "got ya" thing?

Becuse I would have to agree that anyones religion IS no one elses god damn buisness.

Unless the person is trying to push it on others.

Then a confrontation is warented

[IfhBiff]

there's a slight problem with your assessment here. Especially with Christianity (not too sure about the other major religions). Christians are supposed to spread the word about Christ...so they kind of have to make it their business. You may not like that, and I get a little annoyed at the Jehovah's witnesses that come to my door, but I'm nice to them. They have to do it. That's all.

[donvitor]

first of all. I dont think kieth oberman stands for news. it's just one guys point of view and I think anyone who takes him seriously is making a big mistake. he gets paid to say what he says. ig he was not being far left he would'nt have a job.

but the same thing can be said about the whole of fox news. they are being paid to be far right. so I think anyone who takes their "news" seriously is altso making a big mistake.

Most news nettworks in america has nothing to do with news. It's opinions

[kylovr432]

hahahaha i love this!

[volcomstoned545]

you must work at fox news...with the editing style of liberal smearing like that I don't know where else you would work

[Hightech90]

and msnbc doesn't "attempt" to slam conservatives and republicans?? Dam i must be missing something everytime they say something bad towards fox news and rush limbaugh. Granted you can't blame them, fox news beats the hell out of them in ratings all the time =/

[dz2ny]

i dont think of olbermann as a news man, ive watched maybe a total of 20 min of his work, and its all been this shit. hes more of a college kid doing a cheap show on pbs or something

[mlemons1958]

@dz2ny No what you're thinking of is Beck. Olberman shows opposing points and systematically shoots them full of holes with FACTS. Somehow the RedEyes and other Fix News believers buy all their crap.

[macchappy]

@mlemons1958 they're using facts too, they just dont believe in those facts as passionately as Keith Olberman.

[sjcpal]

Keith Olberman is the man , and you my friend are a tool

[MEpianist]

this video is pure shit

[prrolg]

Isn't "pure shit" as oxymoronic as "journalist keith Olbermann"

[MEpianist]

What do you want? Actual journalists to turn into Pundits? You think you'll see Woodward start doing a nightly hour on FOX?

No, Keith is a former sports writer, Bill-O is a failed tabloid anchor. If you want your news completely unbiased, stick with the wire services. By the way, now you look like an ass because you right-wing tards censored my original comment.

[prrolg]

I didn't censor anything you paranoid dope.

[MEpianist]

I used that word as a pseudonym for Thumbing down until its not plainly visible.

[prrolg]

Don't care. You still made a personal accusation to me that was totally inaccurate and way off base. BTW Bill O'Reilly was not a failed tabloid anchor. He was a highly successful tabloid anchor. Accuracy is not your strong suit but you are great at blather. And you have alot of company in the current culture.

[MEpianist]

well I don't get my news from any "former" tabloid anything. Go stick to Extra, and I'll get my news from the BBC and WSJ.

[prrolg]

Who cares? lol

[MEpianist]

yeah it's not like journalism is important or anything... nothing more than an excuse to get frothed up and angry, right?

[prrolg]

I like the WSJ but Katie Couric has way more power. It was so important to uncover the "unknown" Sarah Palin but the "who the hell really knows Barack Obama" was fine. Don't need to know anymore about HIM! I will bet that you think Keith Olbermann is balanced and a great thinker. Ha ha ha hah a h

[hoganfader]

Comparing KO to Woodward ?  LOL Woodward rode 1 story 37 years ago into a career.

Just stick to the whining Liberal lemming Lingo......

mumble mumble..... Fixed News.

mumble mumble..... Cheney

mumble mumble..... Bill O

mumble mumble..... Comedian Rush

mumble mumble..... Sarah Palin

mumble mumble..... Bush Gitmo Abu Grahib

[SkylineTime]

Olbermann is the very definition of Yellow Journalism. He is a mockery.

[rogerthecatsherrer]

you are a perfect example on why we should go back to the old school way : Women can not vote, or do anything other then labor work in the kitchen.

[SkylineTime]

WTH??? Don't you have an intelligent thought in your little head? Olbermann is a far left wing nut. He has zero objectivity. I do not trust him. If you want to blindly follow him, go right ahead, but one day, please do some research on your own and maybe you will WAKE UP!!!

[klrdotorg]

OLBYWATCH, PLEASE do a video on the plot to blow up transAtlantic flights simultaneously.

Olby ridiculed this story on several broadcasts. Saying is was Bush propaganda.

Then NBC's Dateline spent an entire hour show, pointing out how serious the plot was.
