Olbermann is still furious about Shuster being called out

[ruggerson]

Journalists stick together like pigs at a feeding trough. Keith and Tweety were both seething with anger when Shuster was nationally embarrassed and humiliated and banished into a suspension, for basically comparing Hillary to a whorewhouse Madame, pimping out her daughter.

Tweety was doubly humiliated because he had been forced to apologize on his own, on national television, for his own intemperate, misogynist remarks over the course of months.

Right around this timeframe, Keith started to change his tune on Clinton.

The stories became more biased against her, his tone changed.

Tonight is the natural culmination of the attempted revenge of the ink stained gang.

Like little children, they can't stand being called out on their bad behaviour.

It's all both amusing and transparent. And rather sad.

1. LMAO WRONG

Olbermann was originally in camp Monster, but after all her hideous behavior, he see's what she is really about.

GO KEITH...stick it to the monster and her band of DLC losers

[LisaM]

2. And, as Thom Hartmann pointed out, Shuster is supposed to be a journalist

Not an opinion commentator.

[Olney Blue]

3. My intuition tells me that Keith doesn't like Tweety that much.

[Hieronymus]

6. Sorry, replied to the wrong post. oops

[MadBadger]

4. KO criticized Shuster and defended the Clinton's right to be upset...so what are you talking about?

[Unsane]

7. The OP creates his own reality

[Bozita]

8. I saw that criticism. Keith really gave Shuster a new one.

[Unsane]

12. I'm not sue I've seen Shuster on KO since the incident, in fact.

[roguevalley]

30. He did. But reality is not a function left in some brains.

[Straight Shooter]

5. I stopped watching Olbermann videos several months ago.

His "Special Comments" were prima donna melodramatic hyperbole. It just became too difficult to watch him. I won't watch his SC on Hillary's campaign, but it doesn't take much imagination to presume the content thereof.

[LisaM]

10. It takes exactly NONE. It's like watching a feeding frenzy.

He's lost all semblance of fairness towards her and there is absolutely no reason to watch it. It's going to be predictable, and over the top. I have many times mentioned (long before he started spewing on Hillary) that I thought his special comments were insufferable. I turn them off the second they start. They make him look really stupid, I'm sorry. And this has nothing to do with Hillary. I don't watch his show at all now, because of how he's covering her, but those special comments really take the cake.

[Ronnie]

22. We stopped watching because

we couldn't stand how funny he thought it was to show animals in distress. It's been awhile. Does he still do this?

[LisaM]

24. I haven't watched in several weeks

so I couldn't say. I guess he does do that - hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out. Your dogs are darling.

[suziedemocrat]

35. Yeah - the first one or two special comments were really refreshing....

but then he went crazy with them. And it was like he was the ultimate moral authority on everything.

[Hieronymus]

15. Isn't that about the time he began telling truths about Hillary?

[Straight Shooter]

27. No, it isn't. And, no, he doesn't. n/t

[rodeodance]

18. He is very disappointing needless to say.

[NDambi]

33. Awww Dancing Donna anything not pro Clinton is disappointing to you...

[BlueIdaho]

9. Since...

you're so good at reading minds - what am I thinking right now...


no - try again...

nope - guess again...

nuh uh - you're getting colder...

nope - try one more try...

I'll be darned - guess your mind reading act isn't nearly as good as you thought it was.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. You're thinking of becoming less of an asshole?

:)

[BlueIdaho]

32. Good One!

NT :)

[Bright Eyes]

11. Link?

Put up or shut up.

[BeyondGeography]

13. Bullying the press sometimes comes back to bite you in the ass

Who knew?

[Jim Sagle]

14. KO ain't nuthin' but shit, neither is Schuster, and neither is anyone who defends them.

[rodeodance]

20. you have my heart

[SaveOurDemocracy]

17. Uh huh ... I TOTALLY agree ...

[ruggerson]

21. yep

it's pretty obvious to anyone with a brainstem.

[krawhitham]

19. She is pimping her out

and there is nothing wrong with that, you use what you have.

[Lucinda]

23. I think it was before Schuster. I don't remeber exactly when, but it was a few weeks before.

Something about fearmongering - but it wasnt the 3am ad. It did get worse after that though.

[NewHampster]

25. they drank the Kool-aid

[suziedemocrat]

26. He is pretty childish. How he picked on Tom Cruise was crazy.

[Medusa]

28. Tom Cruise IS crazy

and he wasn't the only one. Tom Cruise has become a punch-line to whatever joke you want to tell these days--that's how crazy he is.

I'm sure the Clinton's campaign push to have David Shuster fired didn't help their cause within the halls of the network.

[suziedemocrat]

34. Who cares if Tom Cruise is crazy? That doesn't excuse petty cruelty - imo.

I'd be pretty pissed too if someone said I was "pimping" out my daughter because she was working on my campaign. That comment was terrible.

These guys need to grow up!!! Really!!!!

[mod mom]

29. Could it possibly be about blatant racism?

[ecstatic]

31. Look, I certainly don't support mysoginist language from Tweety

But that doesn't change the fact that HRC is running a shitty campaign. EVERYBODY knows.
