This must really piss off Dumpy Don because he blocks anyone that doesn't bow down to him

I loved the format of Countdown, before it went dark, lol!

the gold.

Another lauded post from an asshole who can't keep a job because of his poor treatment of everyone around him.

Why do people on this board cheer him? He is a disgusting human being, frankly, only one micro step better than Trump. Just because he says exactly what you want to hear?

He is a tremendous talent that can't get along with anybody.

she has him to thank for her career, pretty much.

I love her.

As a couple. Interesting.

none of my biz, and she's grown a lot as a reporter, given her job covering Trump as a joke, basically, at first. nobody on earth thought he'd be around any longer than he was in 2012, during his embarrassing run then.

she was very timid back then, but learned the ropes pretty quickly

did you know her dad/mom looks to be the character who was the inspiration for nightcrawler?

She was featured during the daytime with Little Tucker "the Bowtie Boy" Carlson, as a contributor on his stillborn show, on MSNBC but it swiftly went the way of all flesh. And as usual with Bowtie Boy, it left no impression.

Meanwhile, she maintained her Air America show, but as I recall, she didn't surface on MSNBC again until Keith Olbermann started bringing her on "Countdown." And the rest is prime time Monday through Friday.

I sure miss him. Especially NOW! Hell, Jon Stewart still pops up here and there to shove the dagger in, again, so I wish Keith would, too. But he's kinda prickly to work with, so who knows. Even so, I wish like hell that he'd be back on. We NEED his voice, fearlessly cutting through the crap, in this election, of all elections! And it WOULD get ratings.

I like Olberman, but giving him credit for Tur's career is sexist. Katy Tur came from journalist genes and would have risen to the top.

Seems like it. Awfully bitter sounding.

Don't like the way he treats people and uses others.

He's a true waste of space, and I don't think wastes of space should be lauded because they say exactly what you want to hear.

One of these days he will do something terribly terrible and there will be a long list of DU'ers lauding him for how awesome he is (was).

Alan Grayson comes to mind.

I miss him every day....he had a fantastic program.....and just where is the evidence for the blatant opinion you are throwing around?

that we should not listen to people if we like what they say?

Who do you recommend? Rush Limbaugh?

If you are willing to ignore the fact that he's a monster, then by all means.

I guess that means that if Putin were saying things you like, you'd support him too? Or Trump? You'll love anyone who says what you want to hear?

Isn't that language of hate that you are railing against? No one is perfect. I support Hillary now not because she has no flaws, but because she will do a good job. Keith was also very good at his job. Not only that but he spoke truth to power back at a time when very few in the media had the courage to do.
I wonder if we spoke to someone who knows you who may have an opinion of some trait or time that was not your greatest moment. Would that make you a "monster"?

to be beguiled by the likes of them.

with ACTUAL, real and verifiable examples.

What makes him one micro step better than Trump?

If you took 2 quotes from Trump about Clinton (or Cruz, or Jeb, or Bernie, etc.) and put them with an Olberman quote where the names had been changed, could you tell the difference?

No. You couldn't.

Both men peddle the same hatred and language of hate. Because he hates your political opponents, it's ok to hate? That's not the Democratic Party I believe in.

your hatred for KO is truly astounding.

He had a lot of good things to say, but he also strikes me as a diva and petulant man-child.

How do we have idiots like Lumpy on all the time and no Keith or Cenk front and center? Of course the short answer is money and corporate control.

They can bring on Hartmann, and Amy Goodman, and a few union and environmental leaders. Do live feeds from protests around the country. Interview families of people that died because of lack of money.....

He's the greatest!

The BEST baseball player, but his sore foot kept him out of the service, did they carry him around the bases?????

Telling big lies, blatant hypocrisy, aren't they two of the most important propaganda techniques? That MFer will say anything, and his minions think it's all brilliant and true. Idiots.

Keith, on the other hand, is one of the good guys.
