Olbermann NOT talking about Michael Jackson!

[jenmito]

At least the intro. didn't mention him. It's about time!

[ORDagnabbit]

1. good enough about the pedophile..lets get on with real news.

[HopeOverFear]

2. Real news = Sarah Palin

:eyes:

[alsame]

5. Yep. I am really hoping he does some analysis of the

Russian trip and meetings.

[jenmito]

7. He's now on Al Franken being sworn in. I think he WILL talk about Obama's Russian trip.

I hope so at least.

[alsame]

8. With Dr. Dean!!! Yeah!! nt

[jenmito]

9. Yup. n/t

[Jennicut]

4. He was never convicted. Sheesh, are you Peter King?

[MNDemNY]

10. Nor was Jesse James a convicted bank robber.

[Raine]

11. MJ was tried and found NOT guilty nt

[MNDemNY]

29. So was OJ Simpson. What is your point?

[krawhitham]

40. He did not do it

His son who was a chief at the time did

[MNDemNY]

41. .

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :crazy:

[phleshdef]

31. Not to mention the first accusers dad used brain washing serum on him (he was a dentist)...

...and the second accusers parents were trying to pull massive welfare scams and other scams on businesses to get money.

I won't even go into how 30 other kids testified that MJ never did anything to them, including Macauley Caulkin.

[MNDemNY]

42. "brain washing serum"?????

:tinfoilhat: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[MNDemNY]

46. Pay-offs have quite an effect.

[KansDem]

51. Nor was Al Capone a convicted Chicago mob boss responsible for many murders...

He was convicted of income-tax evasion, kinda like the American clients of 52,000 accounts in Switzerland's UBS Bank...

So the next time you hear someone refer to Capone as a "mob boss," please remind them and say, "No, he was an income tax evader!"

[blonndee]

13. You are a sad and sickening person.

I've decided you're not worth the negative energy, so welcome to ignore and enjoy your ignorant snark and hatred.

[beachmom]

32. Keith Olbermann doesn't do "real news". Sorry, but the MJ stuff wasn't

half as bad as cable's Swiftboat TV fest in August 2004. Or Rah Rah Let's Go To War fest in 2003 in the runup to the Iraq War. Again, what did anyone expect from cable tv? That they would suddenly not be shameless, when they have been that way for YEARS?

KO covered the death of Anna Nicole Smith ad nauseum FOREVER. I mean, the woman never DID anything except pose nude in Playboy.

[OwnedByFerrets]

49. Of course not....

"real news" wouldn't touch the crimes of the B*sh administration or being the ONLY outlet that called them out on their crimes. Obviously, you wouldn't know REAL NEWS if it kicked you in your ass.

[MrSlayer]

3. I know. It's great.

But will it last the entire show?

[jenmito]

6. I think it WILL! In his intro of today's 5 stories, there was nothing about MJ. n/t

[SunDrop23]

12. Douche Hannity said "We're not going to talk about Michael...

Jackson. If you want to see that (shit eating smirk) then I guess you know where to go."

Then he rolled a montage from todays events.

Hilarious.

[mucifer]

14. I listened to the news on Chicago's independent classical music station. No Michael Jackson.

They mentioned an opera singer who broke her leg during a performance. No Michael Jackson. It was sooooooooo nice. kudos wfmt!

[alsame]

15. KO and Rachel are both disappointments tonight - not a word about

the President in Russia.

KO spent too much time on Palin. She quit, she's nuts, let's move on.

So far, Rachel has done segments on Palin and other GOP disasters like Sanford and Ensign. Nothing about the Prez...I'm still hoping.

[Berry Cool]

16. Rachel's show isn't over yet

and perhaps you missed the reference to it on KO--courtesy of Letterman.

Don't worry your pretty little head, they haven't forgotten about the president. Sheesh.

[alsame]

18. Sorry - I think the Russian trip is much more important than

all this Palin bullshit. I don't know why that seems to bother you.

[Cha]

28. Really! It's not as if they have to mention

the president everytime..but when he goes to Russia and all that went with it..come on!

My msn homepage had palin, Jackson, everything but Obama in Russia..I'm sick of it.

If it weren't for Jackeens pictures, whitehouse.gov, c-span, and pbs..I wouldn't know :wtf: was going on.

I don't get cablesn00ze.

[Sebastian Doyle]

34. But the real question for the President, while he's in Russia should be...

Could he see Sarah Palin's house from there? :evilgrin:

[Cha]

45. David Letterman

said Obama waved to her.

[jenmito]

17. That part's too bad...

and it looks like Rschel won't mention Obama in Russia, either. But at least no MJ.

[HughMoran]

22. ...three minutes after you posted

...she did.

[jenmito]

23. I saw...

she mostly talked about how the Russian media didn't cover him.

[alsame]

24. Someone mentioned this early today, right after his speech at

the school - only one Russian network aired the speech so most Russians wouldn't have a chance to see or hear it. And they said he got very little print coverage there.

[jenmito]

25. I heard that. n/t

[HughMoran]

21. Just finished watching a brief segment about the President in Russia

:P

[Phx_Dem]

19. Unfortunately, I didn't anything about Obama's trip either. Did I miss it?

[jenmito]

20. No. But Rachel just mentioned it. n/t

[mullard12ax7]

26. He must be a "hater"! Hater hater hot potater!

You mean other things are going on in the world? I like the O-Man!

[donheld]

27. So why are you?

[Lilyeye]

30. Exactly. These "Great no Michael Jackson" threads are laughable.

[polmaven]

36. So those of us

who consider the non-stop MJathon to be WAY over the top have no right to comment on that? The only comments allowed are those of MJ worship?

Guess I missed that rule.

[Lilyeye]

38. You didn't miss the rule because it was never made.

The point is people are constantly bitching about MJ getting to much attention or saying they're too many threads about him, while making MANY threads about him themselves.

[jenmito]

44. And YOU missed the point of my thread which I stated in post #43. n/t

[polmaven]

47. This thread isn't about HIM...

it is about the media coverage of him....There is a HUGE difference.

[jenmito]

43. I was letting people know-people who just figured Keith would be talking about him like

every show BEFORE him did-even on Hardball which had Lawrence O'Donnell subbing for Chris Matthews.

[Sebastian Doyle]

33. Thank you Keith!

Now, if I can only find MSNBC on my shitty digital tuner, and actually see the show again......

[WI_DEM]

35. I think it's good that he offered an alternative to non stop MJ news.

[Phx_Dem]

37. So the Prez is in Russia talking about nuclear proliferation, and

all Olbermann can only talk about Palin? Nice. I'd prefer a full day of Michael Jackson to 5 minutes of that brainless twit.

[Lilyeye]

39. Well the twit is "real news" to some.

[polmaven]

48. Sara Palin, however,

is still alive and is relevant to the political discourse. Her status is important to the future of this country as well. The same cannot be said of Michael Jackson, which is, by the way, the initial point of the OP.

[ZombieHorde]

50. How dare Olbermann, doesn't he know how amusing MJ was? nt

[malletgirl02]

52. Interesting

someone who is tired of Michael Jackson posting a Michael Jackson related thread.
