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.

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

This guy is a penis with ears.

Ah, Keith, the ideal journalist.

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

[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.

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.

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.

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 =/

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

[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
