2. That was when he wanted exclusive interviews from Bill and Hillary.
Now the MSNBC cabal wants Obama elected.

7. Actually he has turned into one.
Have you seen him snuggle up to whatever Tweety says when they are on together? Keith is full of himself. I had hope for him but he is licking the MSNBC boots now.

5. Back in July of 2007 I would have defended her as well
hard to know back then she would stoop the the levels we've seen since.

12. She has not stooped to levels, she is the opposing candidate
to St. BO. Which in your eyes makes her evil. Grow up.

17. you grow up
your response even sounds like you're throwing a tantrum. you cant deny how negative she's been and even if you DO deny it the majority of voters polled seem to think HRC has unfairly attacked obama far more than the other way around. And that's the truth.

9. a good example of why his individual actions should be judged on their own
folks can separate these things, you know, despite the efforts of some to insist that we take all of Olberman or none at all.

15. I positively swoon over his confrontations and reporting on the Bush republicans
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 12:16 PM by bigtree
It's really very hard, as a Clinton supporter, to listen to his take on our primary. I get all pissed. I just can't help it. I miss having his show to look forward to, but, my blood pressure . . . Come on, general election!

Oh, and, even my wife, who calls him 'sexist' is a solid fan of his reporting on republicans . . . and, I'm certain, will be there to watch in the future. We turn the channel when he gets to the celebrity stuff.

21. Funny, that's when I usually turn him off! Though as I told fly, it's been awhile since I've seen
the show. I have been so wiped out from starting my new business I've just not been tuning in.

10. yes people do don't they!..I have been disgusted with KO since he ignored and was
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 11:29 AM by flyarm
downright rude and unprofessional to John Edwards..MSNBC is now on Child block on my cable so they get no ratings from my home..the outright hatred MSNBC is now supporting and the Bias..is disgusting to me..no different then a left leaning Fox..and Keith has become what we all hated in Billo..an obnoxious pundit for one particular candidate.

I find that not only unprofessional..i find it obnoxious.

I remember and so miss the real professionals in my life, that you never knew who they supported or did not..real journalists..

Morrow..Ko is not..he is sexist..to the umpth degree!

Racism is wrong..i am married to a minority and my child is a minority..but i have also spent a lifetime fighting sexism..and now to know that a whole new generation is being exploited and shown pure unadulterated sexism right on MSNBC, and it is being widley accepted ..even here on a democratic message board..is beyond the pale for me..it is beyond what i thought i would see so blatantly again in my lifetime..i thought those days were past..i was obviously wrong.

How utterly sad.

Well i fought an entire lifetime to stop sexism..now it is up to the young women..if this is what you want, be prepared to pay the consequences...if not turn KO off and do not accept what is obviosuly coming your way!
I am done fighting..it is now your turn..stand up for what is right..or pay for it ..in a very long term..the choice is yours.

11. I must have missed something
I've not been watching Keith for sometime (starting a new business and just too tired to watch_). I've not witnessed any sexism from Keith. I'm not saying it hasn't happened, as I have said, I've not tuned in in months.

I consider you a friend, fly - I've love links to the episodes that turned you off and away.

:hug:

16. My SON put the child block on MSNBC after watching Keith
one night a few months ago, without my requesting it. When I asked why, he went on a tirade about the sexism from Keith. I admit I only had it on for background noise while cleaning, but I was shocked by my son's reaction. Proud, but shocked. I also freely admit that I lost respect for Keith over his attitude toward Edwards, and had mostly tuned him out after that. I haven't asked my son to unblock MSNBC, either, and I don't miss it at all.

26. ahh no Fox went on child block on my TV in 2001...and has remained there.
Now MSNBC has the same honor in my home..child block..it is a great way to block anyone sliding by or putting it on by mistake so they can not grab any numbers on their viewers from the cable box!!

29. You've been here less than two weeks, and you slam two DUers
who've been here many years - nice. My son put FAUX news on block many years ago. So, you're not a very good psychic and not a very good judge of character either. Your manners are even worse. Welcome to the cesspool - I'm sure you'll feel right at home, here.

20. Yes, he is sexist because he calls Hillary and her campaign on their bullshit.
I forgot, she gets to have it both ways.

13. HE'S WORSE THAN HITLER!
He...In fact all of us should get off of Obama's planet.

We are not worthy.

We are not worthy.

We are not worthy.

Ha ha ha.

Only Obama supporters would see Olbermann as a threat.

Clowns.


Obama or Hillary. I vote for the nominee.

22. They've complained about Matthews and Shuster
and got them to apologize. I wonder what they'll try to do about Keith's special comment.

25. I know that would great for the HIllary supporters
but terrible for free speech. I wonder why you all didn't do more about all the terrible things that Fox has said about Hillary.

sorry, but I don't watch Fox News. I'm all for free speech, just not hate mongering spewed by someone that is motivated by ratings.

28. Doesn't matter whether you watch it or not
Fox is motivated by ratings and hate mongering. To claim that Keith has those same characteristics sounds like sour grapes.
