Keith Olbermann used a news clip of John McCain DEFENDING HILLARY CLINTON AGAINST MEDIA ATTACKS, to Ostracize John McCain! To top it off, KO actually somehow convinced a senior editor from Newsweek named Jonathan Alter to go along with the charade!
Keith Olbermann introduces his egomaniacal diatribe... "Senator McCain Caught Lying to the Media about having criticized the media......."
The four minute plus trashing of John McCain by Keith Olbermann and Jonathan Alter was in response to the following John McCain comment,"Senator Clinton has earned great respect for her tenacity & courage. The media often overlooked how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of americans, and she deserves a lot more appreciation then she sometimes received." -end John McCain quote
After showing McCain stating the above, Keith Olbermann and Jonathan Alter conduct a four minute attack on McCain as the two insinuate that McCain has memory issues and that he can no longer get away with lying, because of video. Huh?
Olbermann and Alter spent four minutes nit picking a "memory" talking point over a comment McCain makes in which he eloquently defends Hillary Clinton. Masquerading personal agendas under the guise of "McCain is losing his memory" is irresponsible journalism. I feel badly that Jonathan Alter of Newsweek feels compelled to take part in "Keith's World" as I believe it brings down the authenticity of Newsweek magazine.
Olbermann now believes he can get on the air and talk about anything and relate it to himself and his self importance while pretending it is about something else. I've lost a great deal of respect for whomever is in charge of keeping Keith Olberman halfway sane.
Olbermann's act has gotten old, tired, and in need of an enema. Matthews and Olberman think they are above reproach and are so ethically out of control that I cannot understand how people around them can live with themselves for letting these two guys loose on the airwaves.
Unbelieveable.
When I watch Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, I feel like I am watching Invasion of the Journalism Integrity Snatchers. Just today, Chris Matthews mentioned that George Bush was handed a projected 3 trillion dollar surplus which he has turned into a 5 trillion dollar deficit during his administration, without mentioning it was Bill Clinton's presidency that handed the 3 Trillion dollar surplus to George Bush!
For Chris Matthews to actually use Pro Clinton information that he purposely IGNORED during the democratic nomination race, just shows whatever integrity Matthews may have once possessed has surely declined to the point of non-existence.
Can somebody at NBC get a backbone and get these doofusses off of the air?
