Keith Olbermann Reads Roger Ebert's Letter To Bill O'Reilly (HQ)

[Firehorse40]

Bill O'Reily, henceforth shall be forever be referred to by me as SQUEAKY!

[Jorrietheman]

Ebert is an ugly tasteless thing

[OxTheWriter]

@Jorrietheman,

As opposed to O'Reilly? Seriously, get a fucking clue.

[Dottiecurran]

We always have seen how ugly and out of style Roger Ebert has been. We can imagine what losers anyone must be to admire him and seek his advice before seeing a movie. Ebert was a smut screenplay writer and drunkard who failed and turned to trashing other people's movies. I totally agree with stickinthemud1524 here.

[estanya66]

@Dottiecurran Your forgot to add that he also won a Pulitzer prize for criticism. The first critic ever to win such a prize. Hopefully your efforts to be truly "fair and balanced" will lead away from slander, ad hominen attack and perhaps even to books.

[Dottiecurran]

@estanya66 Please continue to seek a failed sleaze screenplay writers opinion on which movie to see (Beyond the Valley of the Dolls). We can all see how hip and in style he always was, too! He can direct you on your choices and make money off smut, too. Oh, what a figure! Those cartoon glasses! But now he is about over, rotting while alive and seeks publicity kicking a dead actor for drinking, when Ebert's bio states he was a long time drunkard himself!

[JJJ10JJJ]

@Dottiecurran yes, ebert was a 'drunkard' (as you call it.) key word being he WAS, a drunkard. he sought help, and won his battle with alcholism long before he ever lost his jaw and could not longer drink. is it so wrong for him to suggest a fellow alchoholic couldve and shouldve done the same before an innocent life was taken? if you had any sense you never wouldve suggested otherwise for the sole purpose of bashing roger ebert.

[Dottiecurran]

@JJJ10JJJ I've seen your page and you have no sense. Seeking cheap publicity kicking the dead before the funeral is what deformed cancerous blob Ebert did. A hypocrite, long over like his fans.

[OxTheWriter]

@Dottiecurran,

Sorry you'll never be as good a writer and critic as Ebert. You lose.

[stickinthemud1524]

2 morons writing to another moron, you all are morons

[XZohar123]

Roger Ebert's a good writer, not so much in this letter, but w/e. It was humorous, I found it funny even though I hate him. I would say he should stick to the movie reviews, but I don't even respect him much as a reviewer. Though I respect some of his earlier writings, I feel he is more and more out of touch with cultural norms. He's becoming that annoying old man in reviews. He's so wannabe pretentious yet tries to pretend he's not

[ZarahLean]

Roger Ebert is nothing but a deformed, ugly, grim failed smut writer. His highpoint was "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" and "Who Killed Bambi?". He was in AA but pompously points his finger (before it falls off from cancer) at a dead man. Anything for publicity. I am not so brain dead that I need his opinion on movies or politics.

[HugeWeights]

keith olberman, what a left wing nut job dick head

[evesplittheatom]

Hay Keith, suck my big white cock you racist Jewish disease!

[skhan1943]

@evesplittheatom

Olbermann is not Jewish. He's of German and French heritage.

If you had bothered to google his name, you would have known this.

[FormulaDGoSpeedGo]

=)

[MarkArandjus]

With the exception of "Video games are not art." Ebert kinda rocks indeed!

[dfl4701]

Keith Olberman's obsession of Bill O'Reilly is insane. But they are one in the same. They are identical copies. Same ass, different cheeks.

[keith7198]

I'm telling ya. Olbermann has some freaky man-crush infatuation with O'Reilly. He just can't stop talking about. Also is so funny that O'Reilly seldom (if ever) even mentions that Olbermann exists! Poor Keith.

[dfl4701]

@keith7198 it is odd

[mdstalla]

Roger Ebert gave full metal jacket and die hard huge thumb down! This guy has the judgement skills of my ball sac!

[scraps992]

@mdstalla That's giving him too much credit.

[spxeli]

@mdstalla Everyone's going to have different opinions.. He is still a great film critic.

[SparksDrinker]

@mdstalla the guy reviews 20 films a week for 35 years. you are bound to not be in the right state of mind for a few along the way.

[AlsatianCousin]

Roger Ebert is one of the most eloquent people I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.

[LgndryThndr]

@AlsatianCousin

You should listen to him now that he doesn't have a jaw!

[scatcoitus]

Bill o Reilly is less obnoxious than Roger Ebert. Any one who thinks otherwise is a fucktard. i would rather listen to bill o reilly than roger ebert's shitty opinions on movies any day.

[GeneralFantastic]

holy shit that was hilarious

[elfhermie]

Olberman is out and out crazy! Why they let this loon on tv is beyond me. He's just a ranting nutcase who looks like he's going to have a coronary any second. You can almost see the smoke coming out of his ears when he doesn't like something or someone...which is almost all of the time. Thank God I don't see his sarcastic/smiling face on NFL Sundays anymore. Yuck, what a vile person.

[smoothy883]

Does anyone know why Keith Olbermann has been sitting in a red chair with the lights in the studio turned out and reading some old ass book? I've caught him doing it a couple of times now? Why is he doing this, why is he reading books at the end of his show and what is he reading and why is he reading these specific books??

[richcoolerearth]

Ebert rocks.

[Crosshair250]

I know I got upset with Ebert when he dis videogames, but its moments like this that reminds me why I respect the man.

[phxsns1]

Haha Roger kicks all ass

[rabidfox1]

I don't much like "Bill-o" but I don't hate him like Olbermann does -or like rabid liberals do- and I dislike Olbermann more. It is funny that Olbermann pointed out the part where Ebert said "Bill-o" gets red and screams when someone disagrees with him, I've watched "Bill-o" more than I have "Kieth-o", and I've seen more red faced screaming from "Kieth-o". Of course the biased Ebert won't ever point that out, but "Kieth-o" is a hypocrite to raise that "slam".

[TaiwanAmilam]

@rabidfox1

Maybe he didn't mention Olbermann because his letter was to O'Reilly and it was entirely in response to O'Reilly's attack on his company. Sorry not every time someone points out something wrong with a rightwing figure that they don't counterbalance it by including someone with no relation to the conversation.

I guess it's not very fair or balanced.

[rabidfox1]

@TaiwanAmilam

I wasn't saying he should have mentioned Olberman. I was pointing out the irony that Olberman is reading this letter that can be better applied to his ilkiness. Learn to read and be "fair and balanced" yourself.

[SparksDrinker]

@rabidfox1 . i disagree, at the end you added "Of course the biased Ebert won't ever point that out".

[HSAdestroy]

The world needs critics or everything turns to shit. a critic (not just movie critics, social critics as well) are here to expertly breakdown a system, and point out its flaws for the future to learn from. Ebert also explains why he believes a movie is bad so we understand his point of view (which makes him a powerful persuader).

[mightyafrowhitey]

@kayshkorn *shakes head* what a pathetic thing to say...

[rdub1050]

@kayshkorn that is a truly awful thing to say. roger ebert's writing and film reviews have become a mainstay in the film industry and he is one of the few american movie critics that brought criticism into prominence. if you knew anything about film then you would agree with him most of the time. he's a man that loves movies above all else and i cannot recall one instance in which he merely mocks a film. his opinion is always justified and well-balanced

[guy00also]

@kayshkorn stfu u dimwit

[Skidonti]

Oh bill-o, how I want you gone from this earth.

[df61660a]

i love Roger Ebert- he is a critic with some morality left... so much so he didn't like the Kick Ass movie cuz it was so crude

[shanebrennan0123]

I miss Siskel & Ebert

[fatcat4life]

Democrats can say how stuid o reilly and glenn beck are, but that doesn't change the fact thaat they are watched and listened to more than anyone on nbc, cbs, or msnbc. Why do their shows and radio programs have the most listeners? Apparently, people like them. And chances are, they are both smarter than most people commenting on youtube videos like this.

[righteousrat]

Yes, and your logic has turned everything around... for all of us.

[WSenator1]

@fatcat4life - But you know what? People also like drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco products, and taking illegal drugs. Does that make them smarter? Maybe it's because too many people have a propensity towards evil.

[integral]

@fatcat4life Every time an O'Reilly or Beck fan brings up ratings or audience size he is only sharing his own lack of understanding.

From Fox's ratings do you infer quality of journalism? Veracity? Actual fairness and balance? Do you believe that a cable channel's ratings are indicative of the intelligence or wisdom of its viewers?

[fatcat4life]

@integral Did i say I was a fan of them? No. O'Reilly and Beck have done important things in their lives. O'Reilly probably IS more influental than most politicians. It just shows how elitist most democrats are, calling their watchers/listeners ignorant. I'm sorry most of the US is ignorant to them. Roger Ebert has nothing to do with politics. He's a movie reviewer trying to be more important than he actually is. He's more important than you and I, but he's out of his element.

[frymastermeat]

@integral Don't forget that when Fox News pundits gloat about ratings they are only talking about cable news. The nightly NBC broadcast with Brian Williams has trumped Beck and O'Rly on every broadcast without fail. This should make everyone breath a little bit easier.

[MrEatonbeaver]

@integral Well reasoned. I have, with great regret, had reason to go over to many houses of mostly my friends and find them wringing their hands over made up bull shit fear from watching fox

If you have to say you are fair and balanced, it is like saying you have a big cock, which means it is problably not true.

[MrEatonbeaver]

@fatcat4life read you post and read it aloud to to yourself. It is argumentum ad numerum. The fallacy that because the massess say, "chances are"...

Let me take it out one more, eat shit; trillions of flies can't be wrong.

Now, young lady, that is a fact of life.

[fatcat4life]

@MrEatonbeaver Woah you said fancy words, I believe you now. I hate republicans and democrats, simple as that. And I really hate Ebert for trting to push himself into politics. When they show shit like this on national tv just t bash the other network pretty much sums up why cable news is flawed.

[MrEatonbeaver]

@fatcat4life I share your disdain, but cannot adhere to the cable tv v. cable tv posit. It was a Suns Times/oreilley issue that was engaged by a cable tv outlet. An open letter,whether it be broadcast by another network is free speech, and so that we are allowed, we must acknowledge the rights of others to respond. Certain cable news is flawed, and I know about fox because I was interviewed by three, offered a "consultant job", and did an exhaustive job on the network. Fuck them.

[themooddisorders]

Go Ebert!

[thebruno44]

I wish Olberman and O'Reilly would kill each other in a steel cage match.  I'd pay $10,000 on pay per view as long as they both suffer horrible deaths. good day everyone

[jtboll00]

i bet they both fight like school girls.. would be a long match

[thebruno44]

the longer the better... as long as it was painful and bloody

[DarkProphet94]

im very saddened by the fact that roger can't speak, but i would have loved to hear him call Bill O'Reilly a "mouse with an erection" with his British speaking laptop voice

[KajiCarson]

This is divine.

[dilmao]

I wish upon Bill O'Reilly some sort of atrocity, but I think adolescent bullshit like this is just as bad, and actually helps O'Reilly more than it hurts him. To be clear, I mean what Keith Obermann does here, not Roger Ebert! Ebert is great!

[drcoxcentral]

This makes me love the man even more.

[slye1991]

roger ebert is the shit! its so terrible what happened to him

[theSuperMetroid]

@slye1991 at least he's still reviewing films any way he can.

[darkash900]

@slye1991 cancer



[deenzilla]

@slye1991 He can't speak anymore right ? Like completely ? I just found out today and I don't want to read wiki. Please tell me.

[stickinthemud1524]

@slye1991 No it's funny cuz he's a fat ugly piece of shit who hopefully will die soon

[slye1991]

@stickinthemud1524 are you one of those people who are butt hurt over what he said about ryan dunn?

[stickinthemud1524]

@slye1991 no i'm one of those people who thinks for themselves and doesn't need a retarded troll to waste their lives in a movie theater and listen to his every whim for 30 years about movies (which are about 90% shit per year)

[slye1991]

@stickinthemud1524 boy you really should try being angry more often, you're way to kind and positive about everything.

[SparksDrinker]

@stickinthemud1524 why is there all this internet hate for roger ebert lately? is it because of his comments about the death of ryan dunn?

[stickinthemud1524]

@SparksDrinker actually I think he's a douche in general, and completely irrelevant

[SparksDrinker]

@stickinthemud1524 well you are welcome to think he is a douche, but like him or not he is anything but irrelevant. millions of people seek and respect his opinions.

[Boodalasky16]

didnt know roger could defend with a good offense so well.

[badtown88]

Roger Ebert is the best. He's the only film critic I would ever listen to.

[1tracklover]

You should check out Mark Kermode, he's fantastic.

[yellowcougar18]

brilliant

Nuff said.

[yourweedsux]

hahahahahahhahahahahahahha!!!!­!

[sharpasaneraser]

being attacked by roger ebert is tantamount to being attacked by bill moyers, larry king or some other forgotten, hoary, wizened relic of media. it's cute, but that's as far as it goes.

[Gawaine687]

that was pretty funny. Go Roger!!!!

[stickinthemud1524]

@Gawaine687 Yeah hooray for the semi-retarded film critic who knows nothing about film other then to say that films that have already been declared masterpieces by everyone 20 years before are masterpieces. He's such a smartie

[Wheeljack35]

Olberman should go bck to Sportcenter where we don't have to hear any liberal crap fom him on the Obama run station of MSNBC

Oh to you that complain I'm not a conservative either

[fuzzymoochicken]

It's ironic that Olbermann would be triumphantly reading Roger Ebert's letter to O'Reilly, when Ebert doesn't like Olbermann or MSNBC in general.

But what a great letter it was. Nice work, Ebert.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

So sad to see a man like Ebert, reduced in his old age to posting ill informed and insipidly inspired rants about Bill O'Reilly.

Then again, with the uh... "quality" of movies Homowood is putting out right now, I can see why he would go a little crazy and start looking for diversions.

I feel sorry for him.

[fifabreaker]

that letter made perfect sense, regardless of what party one supports.

it was about journalism not politics.

i feel sorry for you.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

If you want to talk about journalism and not politics, Roger Ebert is really a tired old man (although I still respect him far more than Olberdork or any of his fans like you ). He gave the extremely unremarkable and mediocre movie " Lakeview Terrace" four stars (out of four) last year. So that disqualifies him.

But going back to politics, did you think it was "perfect" when he described Charles Krauthammer as admirable?

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Oh wait, you probably didnt even read the letter in full...you probably just let Odormann here do all your thinking for you.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

I really think Roger is wasting his time defending his newspaper like that, making it all personal. Print papers in general are going down. I think he's being far too loyal to a generic rag. Ebert himself is a far bigger name than "The Chicago Sun Times".

BTW if Obama's health plan had been in place last year, Ebert might not have been even alive to write the letter. The bill includes a section which basically amounts to telling old people to go home and die because they cost too much to treat

[BlackpeopleLOL]

I bet they didn't report THAT in any of your shitty media outlets. Fucking liberal buffoon.

[Sparky6string]

Wow that's a lot of negativity. What about Roger's letter was "ill informed"?

[BlackpeopleLOL]

fuck off.

[Hubbleknarf]

Uh thats bullshit.

[Nick29789]

Ebert also has his own website where he writes reviews. I don't think it was so much about him defending the sun times as much as question why a journalist like bill would wish for a newspaper to fail. which ebert is right, that is very odd.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

"Ebert also has his own website where he writes reviews. "

That was exactly my point you mind-numbed fuck.

When someone wants to read Ebert's reviews, they just go on the internet. They don't think "ooh, I'd better fly to Chicago and pick up a Sun-times!""

All newspapers are going down because they are generic rags and the internet has taken over.

[Nick29789]

Thats true that newspapers will eventually cease to exist (why do you hate newspapers so much?). But the way you're arguing is very juvenile. You will never be taken seriously in an argument if you're constantly throwing out insults to prove a point... Oddly enough this is exactly how Bill O'Reilly makes his opinion known. This is why the both of you will never understand why your opinions are disregarded over and over again. You won't even try to see things from other people's perspective.

[tottenhm4lyf]

burn

[fwaph]

I'm concerned BlackpeopleLOL might have been losing touch with reality recently.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Based on what?

That I dare to disagree with the PMSLGBT party line?

[fwaph]

Based on the fact that you would bring the Private Members Self-Loathing and Grievous Body Titilation group's policies randomly into a conversation about the imbecilic Bill O'Reilley, would seem to suggest so yes.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Oh jokes now?

Thanks for admitting you have no case.

[fwaph]

If jokes are an admission of no case where you come from, then I'm afraid you were BORN without a case, sugar.

[lumpagogo]

O'Reilly was a placekicker. Olbermann was a reporter. A far as the drivel they peddle now is concerned, pick your "Poison Idea."

[topcat42]

How can you miss a whole post? What did I say that was false?

Also explain to me the 80% I missed.

[bojak90]

I don't always agree with Ebert's movie picks (most of the time I do) but damn can that man pwn

[ThePS2God]

OWNED!

[topcat42]

Olbermann goes to bed dreaming of O'Reilly.

[Silberdachs]

...says the worthless Republican troll loser. Pathetic.

[topcat42]

Nothing but facts sorry ass moonbat. Olberwomann talks about O'Reilly every fucking night. He wouldn't have anyone on that opposed him if his miserable life depended on it. He is nothing but a coward, loon.

[opiateofthemasses]

Even though that's completely false, would it hypothetically be worse than bringing on the weakest forms of liberals you can find *cough Colmes* or those that CAN defend themselves, and instead of listening or giving them a chance to submit their side of the story, you yell and scream at them throughout the debate until finally shutting their mic's off as they try to talk under you're constant barrage of insults, and questions that you refuse to let them answer properly in the first place?

[topcat42]

What did I say that was false?

[topcat42]

Weakest forms of Liberals? So Obama, Hillary Clinton, Michael Moore, Chris Dobbs, Jon Stuart, Bill Mahr are all weak libs?

[opiateofthemasses]

How did you manage to read that post and miss 80% of the text?! I guess thats the same way you can possibly defend a right wing perspective- look the other way/pretend it didn't happenism.

[topcat42]

Says the far left moonbat meathead. Disgusting.
