Praise for Keith Olbermann
This letter has not been edited.
If you're someone that doesn't already know of olbermann, and you're inclined to check him out, be sure and review ALL of this man stands for and shrieks about. He's the most loud and loathsome leftist loon I've ever seen. A true nut. And his ratings (or lack thereof) show my views of this man to be wide held.
Posted by KW on April 1, 2007 09:21 AMHey KW. What about Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Hewitt, Savage, Medved, Prager, Ingraham, Malkin, Bennett, on and on, not to mention Denver's own Rosen, Caldara, Caplis, Gunny Bob etc. etc. ALL shrieking, loud, loathsome rightie, loonie, nut-jobs....big time.
Olberman tells it like it is, and truthful!

Posted by KW on April 1, 2007 10:32 AMnot so KW. do the research. he gets quite a bit of attention. he is one of a few truthful, to-the-point opinionists not afraid of pointing out the corrupt, imoral "Republic Party" in the conservative dominated media. i'm simply pointing out the usual hypocrisy of you righties.

Now that's funny!
Posted by KW on April 1, 2007 11:58 AMno, the "liberal meda" is hilarious!
Posted by on April 1, 2007 12:01 PMWinston Churchill once said
"the Republic Party is a party that can't change it's mind and won't change the subject."
Actually he said that about fanatics...same thing.
Posted by on April 1, 2007 12:28 PMThe letter writer's from boulder. That explains the love for keith.
Posted by on April 1, 2007 01:27 PMkw, What is the Olbermann ratings share? Since his 4 year contract renewal looks good are there some figures you would like to pass on to us?
Posted by on April 1, 2007 02:16 PMKW, helooo, still waiting for those demographic ratings. Did You mean to say widely held? We, in the Peoples Republic of Grand Junction, also love Keith.
Posted by on April 1, 2007 03:16 PMi'm from denver and I think keith is great too! along scores of other folks i know here in denver and all over. as the old saying goes....the truth hurts, don't it?
Posted by on April 1, 2007 03:55 PMKw, so you want folks to " review ALL of this man stands for and shrieks about" So you have watched ALL of his commentaries, right KW? You say that he is a "true nut" and assume he has poor ratings. You go on to refer to him as "Blowbermann" Well, Mr. Olbermanns ratings have gone up a lot and lots of folks enjoy his commentaries. In fact he is so popular not that GE has just re-signed their most popular news personality to a new contract. In fact, not only will Keith Olbermann continue his job as the only journalist in America currently taking President Bush to task for his continual incompetent leadership, but now Olbermann will also be a regular contributor to the NBC nightly news.
Over the past year ratings for Keith Olberman's MSNBC show Countdown have risin a spectacular 85%. By contrast, ultra-right wing O'Reilly has lost 3% of his viewership over that time. Olbermann's show has been airing for several years, but it has really only been since the anniversery of 911 and Olbermann's scathing indictment of Pres. Bush's use of the politics of fear that his show has received recognition, outrage abd ratings in increase. KW, Keith Olbermann is the only mainstream media player on television who has faced the camera directly and called the President of the United States a liar.
His peers and contemporaries like Bill O'Reilly stumble over themselves to facilitate the lies and mistruths spoken whenever they interview the President. Instead, Keith does not truck with the official lies spewed out to keep dissent a vague memory.
If you prefer folks like O'Reilly, who you agree with, that is your choice but please get your facts straight first. This last week, Mr. O'Reilly suggested that Billionaire Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, should be therown in jail for redistributing a film about 911 that he has never even seen.
He says "The View " has been loosing viewers when it has actually gained 600,000 new viewers since Rosie O'Donnel took the helm.. Your other buddy Scarbourough had a guest last week that says that Ms. O'Donnell should be "hung for treason" for questioning the governments fairytale version of the events of 911. Free speech is a good thing Kw and your views are a bit twisted but amusing.
I have come across yet another good reason to like Olbermann. KW doesn't like him. Thanks for the recommendation KW,.

Posted by Sharon B on April 1, 2007 09:59 PMKeith Olbermann is a shining example of what is wrong with our news media,information , and America in general.
He is the Howard Stern of MSNBC.
He is the schoolyard bully who loathes Bill O'Reilly because O'Reilly's show is a million more times better than listening to Olbemann bash O'Reilly every night because he has nothing intelligent or articulate to say.
He mirrors the stupid moron newsman on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and even talks like him.
Posted by Olbermann is a moron on April 2, 2007 07:22 AMBill O'Reilly???? hahahahahahaha. Talk about blowhards! He's consistently being caught lying and spinning by many, not just Keith. Olberman is GREAT!
Posted by on April 2, 2007 07:42 AMWell the blog natzi is obviously a liberalcrat. Other people can use profanity and hurl insults but when I post a link showing Keiths ratings being in the toilet compared to FoxNews, my comment gets junked.
Who do I report this blog natzi to?
Posted by KW on April 2, 2007 10:18 AMKW, you are a whiner. Your comment that Mr Olbermann's ratings are in the toilet are not correct . If General Electric, the 7th largest corporation in America, that just renewed Keith's contract and also owns NBC believes that Keith makes money for their business and that he has a respectable audience, why are you so hopelessly bent out of shape about it? Your comments were way out of line and so they were "Junked" by the RMN. Calling this the decision of nazi's is just as twisted as your other comments KW. If you have a lot of fans and heve a lot to contribute like Mr Olbermann does, soon someone will want you to also host a quality show like "Count Down". Get your resume together and start applying and quit whining.
Posted by on April 2, 2007 12:30 PMKeith O. is a doofus - hasn't been any good at anything he has tried. So what if his ratings are up 85%, they are still dismal.
But if you like him, more power to you.
Posted by Skeezix on April 2, 2007 01:04 PMNot correct 12:30? Well maybe try looking at the ratings themselves rather than just offering your opinion. Not only does FNC blow away MSNBC, O'Reilly blows away Keith everytime as well.
Posted by KW on April 2, 2007 01:23 PMKW, you are still a whiner. Now, stop and go back to watching more TV. WAAAAA!
Posted by on April 2, 2007 02:00 PMI used to watch O`Reilly until, as a married man, he harassed a co-worker and paid her money to keep out of court. Seems she had phone tapes. Then he said that little boy held capti ve for 4 years, "must have liked being where he was" I heard him say the boy "didn`t want to go to school" and "he wasn`t buying his story" . What a fool. He said that to Greta during one of her spots on his show. Can anyone quote anything Keith ever said that was as grotesque as that? Can you quote something actual. No opinions or your adjective filled letters, but proof that Keith spouts garbage like Bill Orally.

Just search Olbermann at either of these sites. Be prepared though, the list of olbermann rant references is quite long. They give you the story AND the link to MSNBC to prove what they claim he said.
Posted by KW on April 2, 2007 02:40 PMPoor KW, here Grant simply wrote the letter expressing praise for keith Olbermann because he and a lot of others enjoy his show and KW just keeps on whining about TV ratings. If KW does not like Mr. Olbermann, then gosh, we should all get copies of KW's TV preferences and that will be the guide for all. KW has excellent TV ratings, is not a nut job, a load and loathsome leftist loon, does not shriek and knows what you want better than you do.
Posted by WK on April 2, 2007 03:10 PMI figured you'd attack from a different angle once I showed you the ratings. Typical scared liberal tactic. I should expect it from someone who needs to hide his handle when spouting nonsense. Where's your backbone young man?
Posted by KW on April 2, 2007 03:20 PMHello, my name is KW and I and not a liberal.
Posted by KW on April 2, 2007 03:24 PMKeith is not loud, does not rant and would never say a little boy would prefer to be held hostage and raped for 4 years just to avoid school and play video games. KW, I again ask you to quote a Keith remark as repugnant as what Bill said about that boy. Don`t tell me to go do reasearch, your the one making the claims. Back them up or move on.
Posted by on April 2, 2007 04:57 PM4:57 get a clue. I said Keith was a loud loathsome leftist loon. Someone else made the accusation about OReilly's comment and took it extremely out of context trying to defend Keith. OReilly actaully said he puzzled by the 4 years and why the boy didn't try to escape. He made no accusation but stated he wanted more information before coming to a conclusion. I realize your not use to journalists on the left being forthright about an issue but that's not my problem.
If you want to create some argument do it without putting words in my mouth.
And do your own searches if you want to dispute someones post.
Posted by KW on April 2, 2007 05:16 PMThere KW goes again and we can hear the whining from far away. KW has her voodoo doll and is stabbing Keith,Ouch, Ouch Ouch...
Then KW gets "Junked" by RMN, HA HA!
You are right KW, Bill did say he was surprised the boy didn`t try to run away. Then he said "He must have liked being where he was, I`m not buying his story". After that a group representing exploited and abused children DROPPED BILL FROM THEIR SHOW . Damn that felt good. I watch Keith and Bill every night and I can quote them verbatum. I am still waiting for even one Keith quote from you that is ranting or loony. Sharon B, a lady who does not think that little boy traded skipping school for sex even if Bill did.
Posted by on April 2, 2007 07:11 PMThis thread is the epitomy of rational discourse, from both sides of the political spectrum. Keep up the great work people!
Posted by on April 2, 2007 07:16 PMwe loud, loathsome, loony leftists know who we are and we don`t like someone shoving Keith into our group if they can`t give one concrete example of his loud, loony leftists behavior or statments. KW, what did he say that earned him the LLLL tag? Tell me how he insulted your right-wingness. Please tell me, tell meeeee. SB
