Memory Lane: Keith “Left-wing Ranter” Olbermann Rails Against Michael Jackson
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on July 4, 2009
No surprise here. Everyone in the media is jumping on the “I was a huge Michael Jackson fan” bandwagon, even those who mocked and maligned the pop star when he was alive.
Upon discovering that the insufferable, left-wing maniac Keith Olbermann was chosen by MSNBC to offer his warped insight on discussing the tragic death of Michael Jackson, those fabulous rascals at OlbermannWatch.com dug through their archives to see what Olby had said in the past about Jackson while he was alive.
A nasty hatemonger when MJ was alive, a contrite liar upon his death… nothing like crocodile tears and stammering hypocrisy when the camera is rolling. What a statist phony you are, Keith.
Yes, this pompous, mean-spirited lefty ranter was a ridiculously stupid choice to host any kind of Jackson coverage. What… were Janeane Garofalo or Bill Maher not available? But considering MSNBC’s plummeting news ratings, most of MJ’s devoted fans likely avoided watching Olbermann anyway… as all wise viewers should. Is anyone actually still watching this demented, moonbat clown?
Olbermann likely was not aware that Jackson gave a fortune to the DNC… which is pretty much like Michael helping to pay Olbermann’s handsome salary, only to then be made into a mocking punch line (Olbermann’s reported recent salary bump by the struggling news network is $7 million a year).
Read the transcript excerpts of Olbermann dissing Jackson when he was alive: Olbermann Speaks, on the Subject of Michael Jackson. Of the commenters on the OlbermannWatch site, ObserverDan had this opinion of Olbermann’s botched televised attempt to pay tribute to the King of Pop:
What a wonderful job of presenting a thoughtful, sincere, and up-close piece of journalism regarding the death and life of Michael Jackson.
Thank you Geraldo Rivera!In comparison, Olbermann delivered a disjointed, rambling series of observations and rhetorical queries. An embarrassing exercise of ‘winging it’ through subject material of which he was not suited. His guests prattled on and Olby replied: “uh huh” over and over.
The difference between Rivera and Olbermann was so completely and utterly obvious. Geraldo has the chops and the heart to completely rise to the occasion. Olbermann, outside of his element, didn’t have a clue.
How fortunate for FNC to have Geraldo within it’s ranks!
Right on. Geraldo made it upfront and personal. Like he truly knew the soul within the man. Great job. And yes, Geraldo does add a lot of personality to Fox. His honest passion with regards to humanizing big stories and larger than life people is a definite score for Fox.
Hats off to the OlbermannWatch.com team… keep up the good work exposing Olby as the irrelevant buffoon he is.

About the author
Olbermann should be dragged down to Mulberry Street and tied up to a lampost so the “wiseguys” can teach him a lesson on street ethics, since he is devoid of any human ethics journalistic or otherwise-guy. Hey Olbe-one make sure you look over your shoulder from now on, you might hear a pair of winged-tiped shoes coming up behind you. Then again you might not hear anything when your day has come. And you would certainly deserve it in my opinion.
