News Busters:

On Monday’s Countdown show, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann disputed a claim by a New York Times article that there exists a truce between FNC and MSNBC as he accused the Times’s Brian Stelter of ignoring Olbermann’s denial that such a truce existed, and contended that the story must be based on the Countdown host’s own pledge from June 1 to discontinue Bill O’Reilly’s inclusion in the show’s regular “Worst Person in the World” segment because Olbermann blamed O’Reilly for abortion Doctor George Tiller’s assassination.

During Monday’s “Worst Person” segment, Olbermann awarded the third place dishonor to Stelter: “Mr. Stelter asked me at least twice last week if there was such a deal, and I told him on and off the record there was not, and I told him I rather obviously would have to be a party to such a deal, and I told him that not only wasn’t I, but I had not even been asked to be by my bosses. And he printed it anyway, and I had even written to him that this was merely a misinterpretation of an announcement I made here on June 1 that because Bill O’Reilly of Fox News had abetted the assassination of Dr. George Tiller, he’d become too serious to joke about…”

    Why doesn’t Olberman talk about how handy it is that their nearly two year campaign commercial for Obama resulted in Immelt getting a job with Obama’s Energy board and how General Electric ended up with a ton of contracts for Obama’s programs. They will make millions off of having got their criminal into office now..including being involved in the electronic medical records biz. How about he talks about the big share holders meeting they had where a fuming bunch of share holders went ballastic at MSNBC for their slanted reporting in favor of Obama and how some of them are now seeing why things were done that way and are not happy. A lot of people are seeing this as the most corrupt media debacle ever committed during an election in this country.

    That’s right..Olberman only reports what MSNBO tells him too so you won’t get to hear how the American people were lied to about Obama so G.E. who owns MSNBC could get their pay back in the most corrupt election process this country has ever seen. It’s stomach churning. Olberman like some mad spitting Bert muppet gone psycho sitting up there feigning anger with lie after lie.

    He can only create a story out of his rivalry with Bill O’reilly as distraction from what his boss and that company were really up to. That’s the real story but, Olberman isn’t mad about that is he? I mean since he is an avenger for justice and all right? :roll:

    The NYT got caught burying stories negative to Obama and that was shocking and certainly should have alerted people but, what MSNBC and G.E. did was far, far worse. Flood those people with letters and don’t buy another product from them.

    I do not have cable anymore so thanks for posting these things..I am not going to be bombarded with b.s.propaganda in my own home and pay for the pleasure of being lied to day after day so I rely on actual documents and other sources.

    What is an MSNBC?

    I remember O’Reilly saying a few months ago (paraphrasing) that a person who is unemployed or having hard times is not interested in hearing about two well-paid TV commentators going after each other. That might have been a hint about the truce, although he has never called Olbermann by name on the air.
    BTW, for Olbermann to call for Glenn Beck’s firing when he himself called GWB every name in the book is pure hypocrisy. Wasn’t it the Left that said dissent is patriotic?
