The Decline and Fall of Keith Olbermann (At Least, in my Estimation)
2008-05-03 02:47:00 I first realized there was something off with Keith Olbermann when he attacked 24 and Jack Bauer as agents of the Bush administration last year.I know, that's a minor thing, but that's the point. Why go after a television show when there is so much else you can lambaste when it comes to Bush administration policy?I admit to having mostly enjoyed a lot of Olbermann's other ticks and gimmicks, including his relentless attacks on Bill O'Reilly. They may not have been completely fair, but media personality wars are irresistible to students of the genre.In the past few months, though, Olbermann has branched out to the other targets. He histrionically announced his support of Barack Obama and disappointment in Hillary Clinton. Now, I support Barack Obama, too, and have found fault in Hillary Clinton's campaign (such as its "logic" that votes for Hillary in Michigan, where hers was the only name on the ballot, should count), but to hold up Hillary Clinton and her campaign as some...

Beware Of Greeks Bearing Rifts
2008-04-30 13:52:00 The symbiotic relationship between tedious liberal intelligentsia blowhard Huff Post Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington and NBC News appears to be over. Keith J. Kelly NYP Arianna Huffington claims that she was banished from NBC News shows because her new book, "Right is Wrong," blasted "Meet the Press" anchor Tim Russert. Huffington is the force behind the Huffington Post, an influential political Web site where she had started a blog called "Russert Watch." Her new book, which is slated to hit later this week carries the sub title, "How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution and Made Us All Less Safe." Aside from being the anchor, Russert is also the managing editor of the show, the Washington Bureau Chief of NBC News and a senior vice president of NBC News. Huffington dubs him "EZ Pass" Russert because she claims his softball questions give the Washington elite a free wave-through when they appear on his shows. While he may ask a tough opening question, he ...

Big Chill Kills Shills
2008-03-27 13:03:00 Radio talk show comedienne Stephanie Miller uttered two words on MSNBC last night that virtually guarantees she won't be invited back. "Pimped out." Like in "pimping out Chelsea." "The Verdict's" Dan Abrams slammed down the gavel on the mindless blab-a-thon over Chelsea's refusal to answer a nine-year-old reporter's question in February BEFORE Hillary officially pimped her out. Huff Post vid It's "unacceptable," squirmed Dan nervously."It's an issue around here." "I've always been unacceptable," retorted an unapologetic Stephanie. "I was just trying to make a point." Bill Press cut the tension: "Why does this always come up when I'm on your channel?" (Bill was on blowhard Chris Matthews "Hardball" when David Shuster made his "Chelsea pimped out" observation that beached him for two weeks and almost cost MSNBC a debate with the irate Hillary.)

Nurse Ratched
2008-02-28 20:21:00 The zenith of cable Tee Vee absurdity. TIME mag's Richard Stengel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" bizarrely likens Hillary's vast political experience to that of a 35-year veteran nurse who killed a patient faster than a nurse with only one year on the job. NewsBustersLet's go to that MSNBC manic fool Dan Abrams arguing with a Repub congressman over American flag lapel pins. Five minutes of this s**t.

CNN's Wall-y World
2008-02-05 15:27:00 A CNN Exclusive! Wash Post Tim Russert's election chalkboard seems so - antiquated. Here's CNN's John King lovingly air-caressing the "Magic Wall." Here's how the other networks are covering Super Tuesday. David Hinckley NYDNI was watching the androgynous Dan Abrams on MSNBC last night and was struck by how the formerly staid proceedings have taken on the look of a sleazy Tee Vee reality show. It's all about ratings. The writers' strike has been a boon to cable TV's political coverage and they've dumbed down and tabloided up accordingly. Variety

Kudos to Dan Abrams on MSNBC
2008-01-23 04:41:00 In the midst of this heat-up of the Democratic primaries, and the extraordinary - and justified - attention it's getting in the media, I want to take a minute to compliment Dan Abrams for the fine coverage he just gave these developments in his 9pm in his "Live With Dan Abrams" show on MSNBC.I've been enjoying this latest incarnation of Abrams' show for a while (my wife has been a real fan since even some of his earlier shows). I like mixture of facts, humor, sarcasm - not overweening, just right - that Abrams gives to the news and the media.Tonight he outdid himself, with a three person panel (Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow, Patrick Buchanan) joining Abrams like ringside judges in deciding five rounds of Hillary v. Obama in last night's debate.It didn't hurt that I agreed with most of Abrams' calls (in particular, awarding the "good" Republican and "present at vote" rounds to Obama). I just found the whole set-up just right - funny and informative and even passionate wh...
