I was just going to say the same thing! I just watched the Alex Jones bullhorn wirecutting vid.

My guess is that when the likes of Alex Jones start spouting about how Olbermann is an honest journalist the PTB must silence Olbermann. But hey, I am naturally conspiracy minded.

An Alex Jones endorsement is not something most serious journalists would want. They avoid him like the plague.

Say what you will, FOX News is pretty much the standard for fair and balanced reporting. They always give both sides an opportunity to present their case.

Olbermann was out of line many times with his crude remarks about Bush. He and Matthews were unapologetic shills for Obama.

Maybe I am a pervert in my old age but

MSNBC caved *snip*


seems like something that might be a T&C violation. Unless you mean it in some manner that my dirty mind can't see.

Lol, just objectively watch the O'Reilly Factor? Sorry man, you just suicided your whole argument. I have watched his show. It is not possible for a man looking for fair and balanced reporting to remain objective while watching his show. The most "balanced" he's ever been, is when he simply tells his guests to "shut up" when he doesn't like what they have to say.

Remember the Malmedy debacle of Bill O's? Yeah, he handled that real gracefully didn't he. He tries to prove his point by claiming that American soldiers were responsible for the massacre of unarmed German soldiers, when in fact it was the Americans that were lined up and shot execution style. Even after being corrected by his own viewers, he goes on to do it again on another episode. Does he admit he's wrong? Does he apologize for disgracing these American soldiers' memories? No, instead he has his lies purged from the transcripts.

Olberman may have been out of line at times. I think it's laughable though, how the same accusations, even to a much more severe extent, are tossed in the direction of Bill O'Reilly , people actually defend him by saying "well he's an entertainer, Olberman is a newsperson". Basically, saying it's alright for my guy, but nobody else.

And this is what's wrong with our country. Olberman may have gone over the top, but his arguments were valid.
