The Daily Caller’s latest JournoList findings reveal that Keith Olbermann’s far left buddies find him to be “misogynistic”, “predictable” and “pompous”.
The Daily Caller: If you were one of the 400 members of the listserv Journolist, perhaps one of the most vicious insults you could hurl at a colleague is: You’re just like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.
If the reader holds neutral — or even positive — views about the Fox News hosts, the insult may not sting. But in the cloistered world of liberal listserv enclaves, Hannityism is a cardinal sin. After all, Fox is a “dangerous,” “deranged” “cesspool” that, possibly, the FCC should be investigating.
The feelings against MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, then, must run deep.
“He’s become O’Reilly on the left– completely predictable, unfunny, and arrogant,” said Georgetown University Professor Michael Kazin in May 2009. “To my mind, what they do is no different form Hannity and O’Reilly,” said the New America Foundation’s Michael Cohen, “At least Hannity and O’Reilly engage with the other side (if mainly just to yell at them). Olbermann is just an echo chamber.” [...]
The Nation’s Katha Pollitt began the group’s rant. “He and Michael Musto did this whole long riff about beauty contestant Carrie ‘opposite marriage’ Prejean’s breast implants, stupidity, breast implants, tacky clothes, earrings, breast implants. They went on and on about how she was ‘part plastic’ and pathetic. You’d think they were celibate vegans who spent their lives zen meditating. It was just a whole TV humiliation of her, and it made me feel sorry for her, which wasn’t easy,” Pollitt said.
Never Thuoght I Cound Listen To That Much Overbite Without Taking "Pepto" But Thanks Beck For The Laughs.
ReplyDeleteHe is a drama queen. How can anyone listen to him?
ReplyDeleteHe probably is all those things and more. Just like the rest of the overbearing, arrogant assclown talking heads on radio and TV.
ReplyDeleteCan't watch any of them.
Chris, don't think that the clown you post all the time isn't the same. Beck is a sham, an arrogant snake oil salesman. I can't figure out how you don't see it even when he goes through almost the same routine daily.
If the reader holds neutral or positive views of the Fox hosts they need to take a long look at themselves, because the attitudes described to Olbermann are the same way O'Reilly, Hannity, Rush, Savage, Levine and others act.
the only show i catch is Talk of the Nation and then only if Valenti-Foster is boring. Neil Conan doesn't let the talkers get heated and alot of the shows are not political in nature at all. the other days was "Remembering The Race To The South Pole" and i enjoy the guest he brings on.
True Journalist With Neutral Opinions Who Bring JUST Facts On Issues To Citizens Is A Thing Of The Past. Betcha Any College Teaching Journalism Is A Liberal Mecca For Their Ideaology And For The Most Part All Thats Turned Out Are Liberal Clones And Talking Points. Again Not My Cup Of Tea!
ReplyDeleteFox's O Reilly To Me Seems To Cover Issues Fairly And With Debate. Thats My Opinion.
If I Want Slanted News I Can Just Go To Regimes Web Site But Theres So Much Smoke On My Screen The Information Is Clouded.
