The news did not cause our problem. We caused our own problem by supporting and encouraging Americans to equate politics and sports. November 2nd was a sad for intelligent Americans.
Fox does not hide what they are, and any sane person knows that they are in the bag for republicans. MSNBC is the left's equivalent of Fox, but they try to morally equivocate why they do it. We all know what Fox does. MSNBC takes decent people on the right and labels them as political radical, militia radical, or just plain radical. Then they berate them with a smarmy smugness that makes your skin crawl. Get over yourself Keith, you only do your job when an R is in the white house
Keith is just pissed that Stuart called him out and was right. There is no "good guy" in this " my network is better than yours" both try to get us angry and buy from the commercials on the networks

Nah. Keith's wrong on this one. I've seen enough Olbermann to know he's as bad, and in my opinion worse, than anything on FoxNews. At least the people on FoxNews never straight up say Obama is a Muslim or a Socialist. Nothing as direct as the hate spewed by Olbermann at Scott Brown before the Massachusetts Special Election.
you're right - you're not as bad - but you're pretty thi-skinned and pretty boring (not a good thing either). nit-picking the message Jon Stewart articulated does not elevate you above your Fox nemesis but rather proves JS's point.
(e.g., defending the powerful at the expense of the powerless) is much different than defending the powerless against of the powerful. Sure MSNBC gets emotional but they do try to stick to the facts. MSNBC does what Jon Stewart tries to do except that Jon Stewart tries to be funny and MSNBC doesn't (well, most of the time).
I think InitiumNovum misses the point about Mr. Olbermann's remarks. He is pointing out that it was wrong for Jon Stewart to paint all the Cable News outlets with the same broad brush. Fox News clearly makes sh*t up (e.g., The President is a Muslim, The New Black Panther Party, police with jet packs, etc). Clearly that Fox News which was started by a conservative billionare who hired a former Nixon aide for the explicit purpose of spreading his own warped world view.
i remember a crooked politician from another country once said I dont care if ppl talk bad or good about me, as long as they talk about me. LOL I think thats kinda like FOX
Fox News is Satan's news channel but Olberman should look at himself too. All too often he screams insults and mocks in a childish and he also blows small errors or quotes waaaaay out of context in order to demonise Republicans. He also only ever has people on his show who share his opinion, whereas Fox at least do interview people who clearly disagree with the station.
Keith is really stung by being called out by Stewart in this way, you can tell. Truth hurts.
@AMPDOG2 i have watched foxnews and the rarley mention olberman.if anything olberman cant keep from thinking of them and attacks anyone who isnt far left by calling them a racist......a crutch he has used many times.
So Stewart took out Sanchez and now Olbermann! Wow.

Rachel Maddow fucked up and presented something as fact when it clearly was not.
Difference between she and Fox, she owned up to it and apologized.

I stopped watching Olbermamn a few years ago because I felt the hate and anger and a degree of ridiculousness in the rhetoric creeping in.
Because of the natural self-bias, I'm hesitant to think too much about this argument, but alas...they do have a good point.

Keith Olbermann is the voice of reason America longs for in such hard times.
