HERE'S WHAT I THINK

Keith Olbermann is an arrogant jerk!

I have not liked Keith Olbermann for years. I thought he was a terrible sports announcer who seemed to be more interested in hearing himself speak and feeding his ego, than accurately reporting sports. Now he has his own news commentary program on MSNBC where he personally attacks anyone with a different opinion than himself and his left wing agenda.

YOUR TURN! 

Keith Olbermann is an arrogant jerk!

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes, you're right!

jfhubel says:

Keith Olbermann is no jerk, he fails to rate that high. He is mental and spends too long off his meds. If he did not have Bush and all of the conservative commentators like Rush & O'Reilly etc. to bash, he would have nothing to fill his pain rendering show. With Bush gone, I'm surprised he finds anything to talk about. He is running so short of material, last night he gave the 2nd & 3rd Worst Person award to O'Reilly and first spot to Glen Beck. It must infuriate him that they simply ignore him like an unseen, unheard insect.

He's the worst of the worst.
The following lense was put together for the express purpose of helping me avoid the "mainstream" media and hacks like Olbermann.

Jeff Burrow says:

Keith is the biggest jackass in the world.

I will flip over to see what this hack is spewing about and I cringe. And they have that Black Reporter from some rag, the Post I think and his voice sounds like he has a mouth full of gravel.

And then there is Rick Maddow, it's no Rachel, it's Rick. She looks like a man. Must be a butch lesbo.

They are really pretty pathetic, loud and full hate and putdowns on anyone not agreeing with their brand of politics. At least Fox gets opposing views....they even had Hillary on.

Andrea Mitchell used to be a good reporter and is now in the bag for Obama! She is Alan Greenburg bitch and he was fired by Bush, so her bias is clear slanted!

Doug Galbraith says:

Keith is a maniacal nazi like psuedo intellect with an ego on steriods ( excuse my spelling, I'm so glad I found a web page in which I believe 99.5%) He attacks all comers which epose common sense values such as Gleen Beck, and others. Keep the good fight coming. Keith will implode after Obama loses the general election. Doug Galbraith

jeffwend says:

Wow, I just made myself watch an episode of Countdown with Kieth Olberman for the first time in a while. I saw it from beginning to end. Pure garbage. He lies, he exaggerates, he panders. It is amazing this guy still has a job. He was terrible as a sports caster and he is terrible as a left wing commentator.

KimGiancaterino says:

Ugh... I had to do promos for this egomaniac when I worked for FOX. He's a real creep!

Joe Michaels says:

Jerk is being nice. I bet he has to work a second job because I can't see MSNBC paying him enough to do what he does. By the way, exactly what is his purpose there? Oh, that's right he's Uncle Bill's competetion.

Jim K says:

He is jealous of Fox News, O'reilly, Hannity, limbaugh, and frankly anyone who is more succesful than him which is just about anyone in the broadcasting industry. He is a loser.

spotter says:

Completely idiotic!!!! Utterly absurd!!!! Irratioinal!!! Stupid!!! And probably stalking Bill O'Reilly outside of his house right now!!!!

jeffwend says:

This guy makes a living out of being loud and putting everyone down. He offers no hope or solutions.

No way, Monkeybrain!

Lawrence says:

The truth....."You can't handle the truth"....he may be everything you say....but he's right and he doesn't mince words....the collective lot of news wannabees at Fox can't shine his shoes....he does his homework...and because so many conservative politicians lie, misquote, and stick their feet in their mouths, Keith will always have conservative diatribe to rebut..!!!

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Well, he may be arrogant, I don't know, but he sure uncovers the 'mistakes' that Limbaugh, Hannity et al 'teach' people. And he is really entertaining while he does it.

RolandTumble says:

Olbermann is the BEST of the BEST. He's one of the only commentators to have had the guts to stand up to the intimidation oozing out of the Bush White House all along, and to be more interested in facts than talking points.

Almost as good is Rachel Maddow--yes, it's Rachel, and yes, she's a cross-dressing lesbian (her own description). So? It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that she's brialliant, funny and right far more often than not.

For lying and exaggeration, see Faux Noise instead.

Excuse me, but citing Bill O'Reilly as evidence that Olbermann is "lying" is like believing a little kid who tries to claim he didn't do something that you saw happen yourself. Bill-O is the most mendacious waste of brain space and air time ever. He regularly attempts to deny saying things that were caught on tape, as if nobody could look up what really happened.

Your absolutely right McMick, I remember the case that you are talking about. It was really pathetic of Olbermann.

I've only seen a little of Keith Olbermann but besides the comments here, he is also a liar.

O'Reilly pointed out John Edwards class warfare statement blaming the economy for the 195,000 homeless veterans, bringing out that it had mostly to do with drug and mental problems.

The media misrepresented this as O'Reilly denying there were 195,000 homeless veterans.

Bill took pains on several of the following nights to reinforce his original point.

Despite all this and after O'Reilly had 2 or 3 shows clarifying the situation, Olbermann did a whole bit, angry and childish and telling outright lies while accusing O'Reilly of lying.

Olbermann had a similar situation relating to Tim Russert's recent passing.
