MSNBC's Olbermann anoints self as judge and jury

[thimoneus]

Did you see that debate Keith had with a conservative on his show after one of Keith's babble spasms? Just kidding... We all know Keith doesn't debate anybody. 

[TheKevinWalker]

So you take one of the things that makes Olbermann great as a journalist and you make him evil for it? Nice strategy, but I doubt it will work. Keith descends from the line of honest journalism best represented by Edward R. Murrow, as does his protege Rachel Maddow. Fox News has no such journalism, rather acting as the fist of the fringe Conservative movement.

Ya just gotta love this guy. One minute he's judging the worst person in the world, next minute he's giving a passionate commentary about some social issue complete with cracking voice and near tears to show how sensitive he is. Proof positive that it helps to have 2 faces. Helps even more to have a gutter organization like GE and NBC that gives someone like this a forum.

[TheKevinWalker]

Keith Olbermann is a man with emotion. Not the meoldramatic overblown crap that Glenn Beck tries to put on the air, with all the crying, Keith gives you his honest opinion. I watch him often, and I can say I've only ever seen him come close to crying once, during his special comment on Health Care. Get your facts, and your logic, straight.

[awabob]

@TheKevinWalker Actually fool, my facts and logic are quite straight. You shoulda seen Olberman after the defense of marriage act (Prop 8) was upheld in California.  Nearly broke down like a baby. And right after his 'worst person in the world' schtick. Gosh, does this mean I watch this guy more than YOU do? I need a life. I'm obviously not the only person who's noticed--his viewership is in the tank. Anyway, enjoy this fine human being all you want and have a nice life.

[TheKevinWalker]

@awabob So you can give two examples of when he's been minimally choked up? Please. At least he's honest about what h thinks. When Glenn Beck cries, you can see the crocodiles. . .

[awabob]

@TheKevinWalker Oh will you PLEASE give it up!!! Look, there are AT LEAST a dozen people in America who watch this guy regularly...look them up and go bother THEM will ya? You've already lost here, so stick to your own kind.

[WeedOfCrime]

Keith, it's unforgivable that MSNBC keeps you employed when no one else will touch you with a stick. Stop foaming at the mouth and attacking everybody whose audience is bigger than yours. O'Reilly has been wiping you off the bottom of his shoe for two years now, and the loonier you get, the bigger the ratings gap grows.

[TheKevinWalker]

I'll rfer you to my reply to blitz811

[RoachAsylum]

its not like Olbermann ever went to Iraq - he wouldnt be welcome there anyway...except by the Al Qaeda representatives of course.

[TheKevinWalker]

You kidding? Im not sure what religion Olbermann is, but he's certainly not Islamic, and thus would probably be killed upon arrival.

[blitz811]

anyone see the latest ratings??? O'reilly is beating this dick by a larger margin than ever! olberman has been marginalized much like rosie. I thought he was going to start crying in this clip.

[TheKevinWalker]

You know sensationalism is often more popular than reason. That doesn't make it inherintly better. You don't see anyone saying Nickleback is awesome just because they sell ludicrous amounts of records do you? I think you're also ignoring the probably vast amount of watch dogs trying to check and balance the lies of the Fox News Channel

[WeedOfCrime]

@TheKevinWalker "You know sensationalism is often more popular than reason."

Yeah, and solid, agressive journalism is more popular than being a ventriloquist dummy for a floundering, failed president. Brett Beir took President Narcissus to school on Tuesday. I haven't seen a black man tap dance so awkwardly since Savion Glover's tribute to Saving Private Ryan at the Academy Awards. While the all-white "talent" (ha!) pool at MesSNBC is still accusing Tea Partiers of being racists.

[blitz811]

You're lecturing us sensationalism while defending Fox News' competitors. May I please refer you to the pmsnbc reporter whom, while doing a report on flash flooding in the area she was covering, did her report from a boat ... within the report, several men walked right past her boat in less than ankle deep water. Save it. Fox News trounces the competition for a reason .... that reason is "Fair & Balanced".

[tempest2s]

Dennyindc, you wish you had a fraction of Olbermann's intellect, you keep posting clips of Olbermann from different shows and accusing him of delivering disinformation, you must really be way up there in Bush's colon because you're full of shit.

btw. thanks for providing millions of Americans with factual, high quality informative videos, we disregard your misleading titles and enjoy the content.

Step aside retard..

[halvor311]

With all due respect to the person who gave this thing its title where does Keith Olbermann annoint himself judge and jury?

[dennyindc]

I am for legalization of pot and I believe the minimum drinking age should be lowered from 21 to 18, in addition prostitution should legalized, I understand its a not considered a federal issue, but it really is, as Federal blackmail of state law via federal funding of highways has become all too common and often goes unoticed by the public. I am not a Republican I am a registered Libertarian, I just think almost all politicians are scum i just think Democrats are more scumm

[mok2000]

Laura Ingram's comments weren't coming from downtown Baghdad right. because people blow themselves up everyday in Iraq. And there are journalists who are dying.

So yes Laura is a hack, and you seem to support hacks. Olbermann is the only sane one in this equation.

One more thing, don't you bushies see how ridiculous you guys seem just by reading the comments? Or, as Fox News says, are Youtubers anti-conservative?

We should all doublethink before we commit thoughtcrimes I guess...

[dennyindc]

their respective hotels and filed their reports from a hotel balcony as opposed to getting out in the field and reporting whats really going on.

[tresckow]

my god u r wayyy dumb! arent you?!

[takezo3001]

No, he's intelligent, Just a little bit reactionary though.

I still disagree, Yet I love to hear ALL perspectives!

[dennyindc]

Tell me this, how is it that anyone olby disagrees with needs forgiveness and is stupid? OLBY is the same man who called Clinton an honest man, that is just plain silly. As for Laura Ingrams comments regarding the general lack of objectivity in reporting

[monkey100680]

The content and title of this post are in complete contrast. Once again, Keith comes across as the most intelligent, well spoken and eloquent contemporary journalist. That is, most likely, why he is lambasted by people such as the poster of this video. Posting absolute nothings IN CAPITAL LETTERS is the last resort of those with no arguement.

[souldrift]

Whoever titled this video is an idiot. Strongly disagree!!

[dennyindc]

Pillowbiter? I knew it.

[eromacque]

I'm not sure I see how he's makine a fool of himself. Oddly, you seem rather a lot stupider than Olbermann who can, I imagine, actually punctuate correctly and has even mastered the caps lock on his keyboard. Just because you disagree with his arguments --which are almost always nuanced and eloquently made-- doesn't mean he's stupid. I'm afraid you're the one who comes across as the twit. And even sadder, a blind GOP shill-bot.

[trarea]

I 2nd those comments. Keith is a breath of fresh air and in fact if you recently saw his interview with John Ashcroft he was very respectful of that man.

[VincentTruman]

Four questions: Yeh? And? So? What?

[ObiwannabeKenobi]

rather hear his comments than yours tbh.
