Keith Olbermann Agrees with Mensch and Taylor

Link to tweet

I'm not going to wait a week for the MSM to catch up. Fuck the MSM.

[melman]

1. He does?

That's not what the embedded tweet says. Is there another where he says that?

[ProudLib72]

3. Sorry, but it wouldn't post the embedded tweet in his tweet

He embedded the Mensch tweet about the indictment.

[jberryhill]

7. "Can't speak to this story's accuracy"

That's what KO's tweet says.

Do you believe "KO agrees" is an accurate and truthful description of KO's tweet?

[ProudLib72]

8. I believe he is supportive

Why would he link himself to the story if he didn't? I mean, why retweet Mensch's tweet if you think it's rubbish?

[jberryhill]

9. False dichotomy

Your OP says he "agrees".

His actual words are "can't speak to the accuracy".

If I say "I don't know if you are full of shit or not" that is not a statement of agreement.

[ProudLib72]

10. But she was right about...

You're taking the first line out of context.

[jberryhill]

11. My horoscope was right about me taking a long trip last month

[ProudLib72]

12. You're focused on the qualifier he begins with

But you're ignoring two facts. First, he thought it important enough to include in his twitter feed in the first place. Say what you will about Taylor and Mensch, but KO is not just some random nut job. I don't believe he would post something if it weren't worth considering. Secondly, he mentions two instances when Mensch has been right about seemingly incredible events. I take this as KO saying, "Hey, I have (no one has) any way to prove this particular report, but Mensch has been proven right in regards to crazy information in the past. We should watch to see what develops from this."

[jberryhill]

13. No, I'm focused on your use of "Agrees"

[thesquanderer]

16. "supportive of" would have been better than "agrees with"

yeah, the headline is a bit misleading.

though I wouldn't dismiss the whole post based on that, KO does have a point, these people aren't Alex Jones style crackpots.

[truthaddict247]

20. Or

What if someone says "I don't know if your a piece of shit or not but this photo of this piece of shit does kinda look exactly like you"

[juxtaposed]

2. bot trolls are on du no matter what their post count is to stop taylor & mensch

[Hortensis]

23. Oh, for heavens' sakes. I'm not a bot troll and I'm not

out to "stop" Mensch and Taylor.

Only spreading a warning. Is knowing what listening to fake news purveyors did to the right worth nothing?

We should all be concerned at watching notoriously dishonest and unreliable sources being eagerly adopted by some on the left. This is a new phenomenon and, even if minor so far, a dangerous one because we know fake news is addicting.

And worse, it breeds distrust of reliable sources, creating a vulnerability that will inevitably lead to exploitation and manipulation by political enemies.

4. Rock in the 80s was Great!

[chowder66]

19. Omg, omg, omg. O.M.G. my head hurts remembering. Leopard leotard!!! nt

[ProudLib72]

5. You can say that's non-commital

But I say he is sticking his neck out. Does he have something to lose by doing so? I believe he does.

[woodsprite]

6. Makes sense to me to get this out before the new stooge, er... FBI Director takes over. n/t

[cstanleytech]

14. I thought that once an indictment was handed out that it was out of the FBI directors hands?

[woodsprite]

15. That's what I meant. Maybe the new guy can't do anything to conceal or sink it now if true. n/t

[JI7]

17. Could it be that she is not a Troll but it's more about what she heard and hopes is true

and the whole thing with wanting to be the first to get it out there without waiting for more confirmation of it ?

[Hortensis]

24. Probably on the right track. She is having success

peddling conspiracy theories, making up ways to connect dots, inventing new dots, and, above all, making attention-grabbing statements she cannot know are true until and if before they are verified by others. Whether she believes her own product is unclear.

Not a troll, but not a person of integrity. We do know that she worked for Rupert Murdoch and is on the outside now. We also know that he would be interested in sowing confusion and dissent on the left. Two dots to watch for connection without assuming any.

[BannonsLiver]

18. Well then it must be true.

[truthaddict247]

22. Ofcourse he agreees

Right, because people link to an article/statement from someone, in which they speak positively to that / those person's history in being right before, because they don't agree with them. Completely

[Madam45for2923]

25. If Trump had released his taxes and was not hiding his collusions we would not need speculation.

If Trump had released his taxes and was not hiding his collusions we would not need speculation.

and if MSM was doing a proper job uncovering this MESS we are in... we would not need to speculate.

We would already have most questions answered.

[MineralMan]

26. Oddly, that does not sound like agreement to me.

Perhaps my skills at reading are deficient.
