POPSCountdown Begins on "Countdown" Worst, Olbermann's network president, Phil Griffin, is publicly praising him, always an ominous sign in television. While referring to his host almost in the past tense. "Keith has been our tentpole," Griffin says, adding later, "I'm pleased with where we are." Where they are, as Jeff Bercovici points out over at Daily Finance, is way behind the big boys over at Fox News, Bill O'Reilly and gang. In fact, Keith is so far behind Bill, he can't even make out the state of the license plate, let alone the numbers. Bercovici thinks Americans may be outgrowing Olbermann's schtick. via http://bigjournalism.com Countdown to the End of ‘Countdown’ — Is This the End of the ‘Worst Person in the World?’ - Big Journalism http://bit.ly/a1FaNY

POPSCorporate "Free Speech" Dooms USA's Future. This just might be the straw that broke the camel's back of US-insA-nian politics. Congressional trough-feeders must be rubbing hands and licking lips in anticipation of the coming bribes. I'm officially gonna boycott and ignore any election, if at all possible, given that the corporations will be bombarding us with getting that tool Palin elected Prez. Gawd, the horror!... not that the last 10 years haven't been a surreal nightmare. It's just gonna get worse until they've sucked every last dime out of our soon to be fascist (in the true sense--totally corporate owned and run)country. Another Empire falls with a sickening thud. I'm done with

POPS Keith Olbermann Helps Raiise $1.2 Million For Free Health Care Clinics 
Wednesday night on "Countdown," Olbermann announced that, thanks to the generosity of "Countdown" viewers, a health fair would take place in New Orleans on November 14. This is on top of health fairs already planned for November 9-10 in Kansas City and November 21 in Little Rock. How did this idea come about? "We were looking for something to relieve the frustration so many people felt," Olbermann told the Huffington Post. "I thought of an insurance strike, but insurrectionist as that might sound, it would endanger lives. So Rich Stockwell, one of my Senior Producers, suggested that the Free Health Clinics group turns every dollar donated into five in services. Thus if we helped them stage clinics in the key cities, we'd get help to thousands of people, we'd relieve that sense of near-paralysis, and we might even put some pressure on those Democratic Senators who won't even commit to precluding a filibuster. So this one was Rich's."

POPSMichael Moore Fails to Call Out Keith Olbermann’s Hypocrisy Despite calls to put his money where his mouth is and return his own bonus, Olbermann has remained silent. And while Moore is usually so quick to attack anyone benefiting from government-backed corporate profits, he didn’t even mention his host’s own hypocrisy. You see, to guys like Moore and Olbermann, it’s perfectly okay to make millions from taxpayers and capitalism, so long as it’s their bank account getting filled with the cash.

POPSGlenn Beck, anti-communist art critic? More: Fair enough. That’s cable television for you. On to a bigger question: Does Beck know what he’s talking about? Absolutely not, says Christopher Knight, an art critic (a real one) for the Los Angeles Times. Beck was as “nutty as usual,” Knight wrote: He pointed to a portrait of Lenin in Mexican master Diego Rivera’s destroyed Rockefeller lobby mural, “Man at the Crossroads,” but forgot to mention that old John D. had the mural removed because of it. (Facts are stubborn things — even more stubborn than demagoguery.) With comedy stylings like that, Beck is turning out to be the Harold Harby of our day. Who was Harold Harby? A Los Angeles city councilman in the early 1950s, Harby took up propaganda-arms with a paranoid group of right-wing loonies called the Society for Sanity in Art. They made it their patriotic duty to search out Communist symbols they just knew were hidden in that weird, postwar abstract art.

POPSGarofalo: Tea Party Goers Are Racists Who Hate Black President KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST: Well, the teabagging is all over, except for the cleanup. And that will be my last intentional double entendre on this one at least until the end of this segment. Our number two story tonight, the sad reality behind the corporate sponsored Tea Parties, visual proof that this is not about spending, deficits, or taxes, but about some Americans getting riled up by the people who caused these things, and finally about some Americans who just hate the president of the United States. According to both the conservative organs, the New York Post and the Washington Times, see there was another double entendre coming, the protests only drew tens of thousands nationwide, despite relentless 24/7 promotion on Fox News, including live telecasts from several locations.

POPSOlbermann Accuses Bachmann of Breaking 'Serious Laws' Moonbat Olbermann's BDS 'Countdown" BDS refers to the latest, most egregious evil-doer perp from Minnesota, Michele Bachmann. "We might dismiss this. I mean, Michele Bachmann - it sounds crazy," Olbermann said. "But just because it sounds crazy, does that mean she's not to be held accountable for these things like this? I mean - are there not federal laws which specifically prohibit advocating the violent overthrow of the government of the United States?" Newsweek's Alter, not surprisingly, agreed - but he wasn't in favor of enforcing these laws because they would "inhibit free speech." So now from MSNBC's insightful analysis we have Michele Bachmann - World War I spy, glue huffer and federal lawbreaker. What's next?

POPS"Cheney 'Assassination Unit' Still Active Under Obama, Including Domestically" continues: Subsequent media coverage of Hersh’s comments, such as a special feature on last night’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, has framed the story in the inaccurate context that the JSOC was a personal hit team acting on behalf of Cheney alone, when in reality the unit was created in 1980 and continues to play a central role in Barack Obama’s continuation of the so-called war on terror. Hmm, anyone remember Dr. Kelly and his report of the alleged weapons of mass destruction said to be in Iraq?

POPSOlbermann's Plastic Ivy Coulter unmasks the charlatan of "My National Barack Channel"... Olbermann relentlessly attacked low-level Bush administration employee Monica Goodling for not going to a name-dropping college, saying -- approximately 1 million times -- that she got her law degree "by sending 100 box tops to Religious Lunatic University."

POPSKeith Olbermann Traces "Anatomy Of A Smear" -- Bizarre Stimulus Attack (VIDEO) The claim, not surprisingly, isn't true. The National Coordinator for Health Information Technology isn't "new"; it was created by George W. Bush five years ago. More importantly, the measure is about medical records, not limiting physicians' treatments. In fact, the language in the House bill that McCaughey ... referenced does not establish authority to "monitor treatments" or restrict what "your doctor is doing" with regard to patient care, but rather addresses establishing an electronic records system such that doctors would have complete, accurate information about their patients "to help guide medical decisions at the time and place of care." So, the opinion piece Bloomberg ran was wrong.

POPSCountdown: Keith Olbermann Looks At Bush's REAL Legacy Clearly a work of fiction. And while it's all fine and good to castigate the Bush administration for their non-stop public relations messaging over substance, I do wish that Olbermann would be as equally harsh on his colleagues in the media (besides the ones on Fox News) only too happy to repeat these talking points, because it is they who will continue to give a platform for the lies.
