False promise of ‘objectivity’ proves ‘truth’ superior to ‘fact’

Mon, 15 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Countdown - By Keith Olbermann - Nov. 15 (Comment) - Mr. Koppel does not have to wait. The kind of television journalism he eulogizes failed this country because when truth was needed, all we got were facts, most of which were lies, anyway. The journalism failed and those who practiced it failed, and Mr. Koppel failed. I don't know that I'm doing it exactly right here. I'm trying. I have to, because whatever that television news was before, we now have to fix it.

Cheney silence on oil spill speaks volumes

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Countdown - By Keith Olbermann, Kate Sheppard - Jun. 11 (Interview) - Of all the people left, right, and centrist who have chimed in on this issue, one voice has remained mysteriously silent, as "Newsweek" magazine observes. A voice belonging to a man known for pushing back powerfully against his critics, albeit only with friendly interlocutors, a man known for certitude in his areas of expertise and who can clearly claim oil as one of those areas, perhaps his only true area of expertise. So, where in the Gulf is Richard B. Cheney?

MSNBC - By Keith Olberman - Nov. 11 (Comment) - This isn't about yelling, and this isn't about politics, and this isn't really just about Prop-8.

Advertising terrorism

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 00:47:17 -0700

Countdown - By Keith Olbermann - Oct. 23 (Opinion) - Tonight, a special comment on the advertising of terrorism – the commercial you have already seen. It is a distillation of everything this administration and the party in power have tried to do these last five years and six weeks. It is from the Republican National Committee; Story continues below ↓ advertisement It shows images of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri; It offers quotes from them—all as a clock ticks ominously in the background. It concludes with what Zawahiri may or may not have said to a Pakistani journalist as long ago as 2001: His dubious claim that he had purchased “suitcase bombs.” The quotation is followed (by sheer coincidence no doubt) by an image of a massive explosion. “These are the stakes,” appears on the screen, quoting exactly from Lyndon Johnson’s infamous nuclear scare commercial from 1964. “Vote—November 7th.” There is a cheap “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” quality to the whole thing, and it also serves to immediately call to mind the occasions when President Bush dismissed Osama bin Laden as somebody he didn’t think about—except, obviously, when elections were near. Frankly, a lot of people seeing that commercial for the first time, have laughed out loud. But—not everyone. And therein lies the true threat to this country.

'Beginning of the end of America'

Thu, 19 Oct 2006 02:50:23 -0700

MSNBC - By Keith Olbermann - Oct. 19 (Opinion) - We have lived as if in a trance. We have lived as people in fear. And now—our rights and our freedoms in peril—we slowly awaken to learn that we have been afraid of the wrong thing. Therefore, tonight have we truly become the inheritors of our American legacy. For, on this first full day that the Military Commissions Act is in force, we now face what our ancestors faced, at other times of exaggerated crisis and melodramatic fear-mongering: A government more dangerous to our liberty, than is the enemy it claims to protect us from.
