Keith Olbermann's Hour Long 'Special Comment' On Health Care Reform
Keith Olbermann's Hour Long 'Special Comment' On Health Care Reform
- Thread starter Ming Fei Hong
- Start date
Keith went in last night.
nice drop
Word. He really should consider dropping much of the snarkism, corny jokes, silly voice impersonation and over-the-top melodramatics more often.
I don't think so that's what make his show appealing but that's my opinion.
I don't mind him having his own signature style. In doses it works. But sometimes it's just over-the-top and a distraction when I'm trying get at serious info.
But when he's being serious it has more weight. He's a real journalist with a touch of "The Daily Show". If he went totally serious all the time, it would dilute it.
He's not actually a journalist. He's more of a TV personality with a background in broadcasting (namely sports). But again, I didn't say he should abandon his style. I just think he should be less sensationalist more often.
Keith qualifies as a journalist. He has a degree in communications art and does research and background work (with his staff and producers of course). That's the difference between him and Hannity and Limbaugh.
On his style, he has to do something to stand out and his mix of real news with "Daily Show"/Sportcenter flourishes is his thing. The voices and sarcasm make the show.
That doesn't qualify him as a journalist. That just makes him a well informed (by his staff and researchers) television personality with a background in broadcasting.
And again, I'm not saying he should not make use of his signature style at all. I'm saying he sometimes over does it and could benefit from doing more straight forward pieces this this health care special comment more often.
Wow, good stuff.
Then so is Sean Hannity.
The key word in the definition is NEWS using that word in regard to hannity is a stretch.
Semantics. Keith Olbermann/MSNBC are the Ying to Sean Hannity's/FNN's Yang, b. They are eachother's liberal v neo-con doppelganger. i fucks with MSNBC over Fox News, but I'm in no way disillusioned about their clear liberal bias. I just don't knock them for it, because I often agree with their liberal bias. But that doesn't mean I won't knock them when I feel it's needed.
OK answer me this if you fact checked countdown vs. hannity who would come out on top bias is bias but facts are facts
IN A NUT SHELLWE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT i HOPE
FALSE NEWS HAS REPORTED THAT NIGGAS AND SPICS DAM NEAR BROUGHT THE ECONOMY TO A HAULT DUE TO SUBPRIME LOANS.
WHAT KINDA SHIT IS THAT?

We have a winner ladies and germs.
PLUS HANNITY IS A FUCKIN NIMROD - tell him to go back to school and reeeeedumacate himself. That nigga aint shit without a co signer.
oNE
Will never understand why people are against a public option...I guess these people like it when their hospital bill high as hell but they want to complain they cant afford it....makes no fuckin sense at all....Its funny how the Republicans have a problem with abortion but have no problem letting someone die just because they dont have health insurance 
Keith Olbermann did a great job

That's a moot question. 'Facts' have nothing to do with the definition of a journalist.
"news medium"
hannity would qualify if 80% of his claims could not be debunked.
I'm not going to get into this with you cause you're one of the few cats I respect on this board....we're just going to not agree on this.
Respect.
