1. How did KO not reach every American

Too much a thinking man's media star. We need to fund a dumb person's media star to reach low life.

[Heather MC]

3. It's a ashamed how they Railroaded Olbermann off MSNBC

[LisaM]

4. Yeah well here's why.

I couldn't bear watching his coverage of Hillary in 2008 and just stopped watching him. Now he wants to atone?

5. Keith Olberman was wonderful IHMO...and the media went after Hillary and the FBI

did too...he was taken off of MSNBC because he supported a Democrat with money...same thing Joe Scarborough did but nothing happened to him. I love Keith.

6. He lost me in 2008.

There was a whole pack of broadcasters on MSNBC they called "The MSNBC Boys' Club". They were very hard on Hillary Clinton, and very unfair. The coverage was slanted.

I also got tired of Keith Olbermann's overhyped 'Special Reports' or whatever he called them, but that's a different issue. He was too hard on Hillary and there was a bleedover from 2008 to 2016, and so anything he does is too little, too late. It cost the country, and Democrats, dearly. I don't even necessarily disagree with him on ideological grounds for the most part, but his bias towards Obama was unprofessional.

9. The media repeatedly brutalized Hillary in 2008.

They found the most insane reasons for accusing her of doing something wrong.

In Olbermann's case I believe they were called "Special Comments."

After Hillary lost in 2016 it started up again, but this time it never stopped. For the first few years after the 2016 election it was like we were trapped in those 5 days between Iowa and New Hampshire in 2008.

[LisaM]

12. Yeah, they were weird.

He acted as if he were Edward R. Murrow. He practically had on a pork pie hat and a pencil tucked behind his ear.

There's a reason he times out on every job he has, and it's his ego. As I said, I don't necessarily disagree with him on ideological grounds. It's how he presents.

[Ninga]

15. Hope you've found his podcast. So good to listen to vintage Olbermann.

[radical noodle]

27. I stopped watching him at that time too

He was awful in his coverage of Hillary.

PS: Your link didn't work for me

[LisaM]

29. Sorry. I just checked and the link was fine for me.

Anyway, yah, his treatment of Hillary was beyond misogynistic and I got over him at that time.

8. Musk is having it both ways.

Tweeting and deleting. How many saw these original tweets and cheered him on?

[PortTack]

10. A page right out of the tfg play book. Tweet it..let it bring out the haters..then delete it

[PlutosHeart]

14. THIS is exactly what they do.

They lie and make horrible remarks then like a little baby they delete it after the damage is done and NEVER apologize. Never! What a bunch of cowards.
This is the height of immaturity.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

24. And it's destructive. Society cannot survive the plethora of misinformed hate-filled fascists.

Musk was concerned about climate change. Then he became the richest person on earth and lost interest.

[highplainsdem]

21. He's upset some of the people who were cheering. They see his

deleting that tweet as a betrayal of his promise of free speech.

[Justice matters.]

26. Not only that. Internet posts never 'disappear' (screenshots 'n stuff).

31. Jimmy Kimmel is heroic.

[OMGWTF]

13. For those still on Twitter -- report every fking tweet Elon Musk makes.

I hope Tesla tanks. There are so many great electric cars coming on the market. Fuck him!

[Augiedog]

16. Dipshits gotta keep dippin their dick in shit. Can't help themselves

[Cha]

17. Yeah, We're Doing that For the

MuskRatFucker.

[dembotoz]

18. ko podcast is the best thing i turn to every day

[Warpy]

19. OK, that made me laugh

He's always had a great way with words.

[ProfessorPlum]

22. KO was the first loud voice of opposition in the cable/broadcast media

but he hardly started the Democratic opposition to W. Much of that happened online, at this site, at Media Whores Online, and in the heads of millions of Americans.

[calimary]

30. I saw him as a refuge from all the GOP and pro-GOP media garbage.

I miss his “righteous indignation” “angry man” thing.

Always helped me remember that I wasn’t alone in feeling that way.

[Scottie Mom]

25. Musk-etter has to now he's a dipshit.

The whole world knows...how could he miss that??? Wait...

[Martin68]

28. The combination of all that money and so little understanding is dangerous.
