Raw Story doesn't agree with Olbermann's reporting on Curtis
This from Keith Olbermann, the lone ‘reporter’ on the voting irregularity beat. Olbermann gets responses from Feeney, who seems to laugh at Curtis’ claims and gently threaten NBC with legal action.

Olbermann, however, gets some facts wrong – that Curtis was a ‘disgruntled’ employee is certainly in the eye of the beholder; on his departure, he was thrown a party and the company, Yang Enterprises, is said to have asked him to stay on. It’s certainly possible, however, that Curtis became a disgruntled employee long after he left.

Olbermann fails to note that Yang Enterprises has already lied about employing an illegal alien who later tried to export sensitive missile technology to China. He’s also failed to ask the FBI about an alleged investigation into Yang’s dealings about knowingly employing an illegal alien and falsifying his employment status to get him security clearances at NASA.

Also curious is that Olbermann takes Yang’s lawyer at his word – who was previously Rep. Feeney’s law partner and gave $1,500 to Feeney’s 2002 congressional campaign. Additionally, Olbermann does not actually confirm a police report exists on Curtis.

1. Must say I was QUITE disappointed with "Bloggerman" today...
not just his comments on Curtis.

In fact, it was downright mean, and condescending re: Conyer's efforts, and more. Quite frankly, I do NOT understand his sudden reversal on the Election Fraud story.

So much so, I've decided to take a break from watching "Countdown" and "Bloggerman" for a while. Clearly he's a little tired of the story, and perhaps his loyal bloggers.

3. How so is it a reversal?
And how so is it mean and condescending about Conyer's efforts?

Quote: "They may be of great importance, and could serve as the basis for all manner of later investigations."

Doesn't sound "mean" or "condescending" to me.

2. I think even though
we all love Keith he sometimes does a very simplistic reporting job....
(quickie's ) without going to deep.

Since there is not much MSM we take what we can get.
I think its great that raw story is looking deeper.
