A Challenge for the "Haters"...

[DJQ]

Most right wing lunes don't like Keith Olbermann. I say it because they're afraid of hearing the truth. They're to used to listening to the outright lies being told to them by people like Rush, Hannity, and Bill-O, that they have no need for the truth anymore.

These same "haters" claim that Olbermann is the one that lies. So my challenge to you is to watch Olbermann for one whole week, and I defy you to find a single lie!

I highly doubt anyone will do it. I know how "close minded", and "set in their ways", the right wing is. It's trully very sad.

Does he really have a slot naming 'The worst person in the world'? and the day after finds someone who's even worse or does the worst person in the world keep the title for years ?

If he is continually finding someone worse than the previous day that is truely very sad.

Who has the authority to decide 'The worst person in the world'? For the Brits and non-watchers can we have a list of the'worst people in the world' please?

Billy make up your own list .. starting with the royal's.

The truth is why Rush is afraid of the Fairness Doctrine. Fairness would require that Fox, give equal time so someone may point out the outright lies and exaggerations of Rush, Hannity and gas bag O'Rilley.

Olbermann Watch - MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann: Keith Olbermann's Top Ten Lies of 2007

[skyguy2007]

Olbermann & Rush come from the same fabric, getting the radical right and left to scream "SEEEEEEE ME"...both sides are as closed/narrow minded as you can find anywhere, while the talkin heads on BOTH sides laugh all the way to the bank! They are and have never been anything more than entertainers.

OMG, you can't be for real? What about CNN, and all the other "news" stations. The fairness doctrine would would have to kick in for all the stations. NY Times, Now we would have to put up with 2 pages of the Editorials and Opinion - The New York Times page.

So what your asking for is the Govt to step in and Force private business to now give fair and equal time? What happened to Air America?, They might have made it, but they didn't because of their format, and no one must not have wanted to hear that garbage other then a handful of Looney Liberals.

Did you forget Fox News had the Hannity and Colmes debate talk show? That show ran for years, until Alan Colmes left the show to move on to do his own thing. I dont recall any format like that on CNN or MSNBC.

There is a reason Olbermann has a few ratings, Now your asking Bill "O'wrongly" to have his hour right after Olbermann. What you need to be asking is the Govt force people to watch both views.

This should help you open you views a bit more, we do have the Fairness Doctrine, Its called Free Choice.

The Fairness Doctrine... Who's going to oversee that? the Ministry of fairness

Actually, reimplementing the Fairness Doctrine would look bad, be an easy target for criticism and make it easy for the opposition to rally the troops. Forget about it, the Fairness Doctrine is dead.

President Obama is far too smart to fall into that shithole, especially when he can sneak all sorts of new laws into the books that will have the same effect without creating much of a stir.

President Obama has said he does not favor reinstituting the Fairness Doctrine but he has expressed support for ‘local control' boards and other FCC regulations that might have a similar chilling effect on speech in broadcast media. Obama will play a role in this debate by appointing new FCC members in the coming months.

No matter how it's done, the goal is to silence dissent and oppress free speech rights. Might as well start with the 1st amendment before messing with the second amendment and gun rights.

I wonder if Frank has one of these??

JUST when you thought Keith Olbermann's inflated ego couldn't expand further, the MSNBC blabbermouth was running around a Yanks-Reds spring training game Tuesday night, autographing baseball cards featuring his own smug face. Stats on the back identified him as a "lefty slugger." One fan at the game said, "He looked like such a jerk."
