I’m doing too many things right now.

Also, I apologize to the other posters for my use of caps in the above post. But it is infuriating to see someone post such untruths, and to think that we are stupid enough to ignore actual ratings data and believe him instead!

Sorry, “*”, we’ve all been here a long time and can easily read ratings. And you are wrong.

O’Reilly has CONSTANTLY stated that he is NOT a journalist, and that his program consists of NEWS ANALYSIS!!!!!

How can you POSSIBLY stated that Olbermann’s ratings are higher than O’Reilly’s? O’Reilly 4 a.m. THIRD broadcoast of the factor even beats Keith’s prime time showing.

I love how you Olbermaniacs can write such eloquent justifications for your hero, while blatently ignoring well publicized facts and data that would prove you wrong. If you want to make remarks about ratings, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM OPINION, and INSTEAD, CITE SOME DATA TO MAKE YOUR POINT!!!!

And another thing. Exactly what has O’Reilly said that is not true? Tell us SPECIFICALLY what you’re in a snit about.

Finally, what about this education thing? I have a feeling that Keith’s fans are probably like John Kerry - they give the illusion of being intellectual, but when scrutinized, may in fact even be less educated and intelligent than their more conservative peers. Remember how Bush was treated as an intellectual inferior throughout the last Presidential campaign? We then find out that Kerry’s grades were WORSE than those of President Bush.

As someone who has studied journalism and recognizes many of the very common marketing tactics used by O’Reilly to convince people of things that are simply not true I am heartened to see an actual real journalist like Keith Olberman being televised.

I really don’t think sports fans care about Olbermann’s Prada and Marc Jacobs purchases any more than they do about his O’Reilly obsession. It’s disgusting.

How about last night? Olbermann let go of attacking O’Reilly? That lasted all of about five hours.

As a point of order, Olbermann did not apologize for “ridiculing” O’Reilly. He apologizing for joking that if and O’Reilly were competing on Dancing with the Stars that he would cut O’Reilly’s hamstring with a surgeon’s knife (in the apology he said “pen knife” which is not what he said) and that he would “do a Nancy Kerrigan” on him (i.e., hire someone to smash O’Reilly in the knee with a metal rod).

While it is not clear whether Olbermann’s on-air correction/apology was his own decision or one forced on him by ESPN, it is certainly clear that this was yet another example of Olbypocrisy - in the past week he has criticized Laura Ingram for joking on the radio that “we all” (her listeners) should call a Democratic Voter Hotline on election day (a form of DoS attack) and Michelle Malkin on the specious grounds that she (and Ingraham and Ann Coulter) was culpable for the actions of a California man who sent a “fake anthrax” letter to Olbermann because he may have written that he “worshipped Malkin” on FreeRepublic.com.

I don’t know whether he was forced to apologize or not, but in his case, the apology was warranted.
