MSNBC's 'Bloggermann' Blows It Again!... The BRAD BLOG Tries to Help!

MSNBC's 'Bloggermann' Blows It Again!
Failing to meet even the usually lax journalistic standards of most Internet bloggers, "self-styled investigative journalist" Keith Olbermann -- who also seems to have his very own prime-time show on a fairly major cable news outlet -- offers a swell Christmas gift for Congressman Tom Feeney (R-FL) and his monied friends at Yang Enterprises, Inc.!

The BRAD BLOG responds, and holds many deserving feet to the fire! With photos, evidence and more!

...ALSO...

Disgruntled Employee...of the Year!
We have really been trying our best to help the mainstream media folks like Keith Olbermann at MSNBC, Kim Zetter at Wired Magazine and Adam Smith at The St. Petersburg Times. But they just can't seem to help themselves from repeating the unsupported and unevidenced "disgruntled employee" charges from Yang's attorney's (and Feeney's former law partners).

The BRAD BLOG helps with another "exclusive" visual aid!...The "Farewell Card" given to Curtis and signed by Yang employees at the "Farewell Party" thrown in his behalf by the company!

Includes signatures from Yang CEO, Mrs. Yang, saying "Good Luck and the Door will Always Be Open When You need"

1. Yes, most corporations I know give their disgruntled employees

going away parties, complete with sweet sentiments found in the greeting card. NOT

(I sure wish KO would investigate and not just report!)

had to edit, I can't spell!

26. One can have many good relationships on a job

And still be outraged by an injustice.

It makes it all the more admirable that Curtis came forward with his testimony, when you consider that it could damage some old friendships.:yourock:

[merh]

28. I agree with you wholeheartedly!

:thumbsup: Curtis rocks! :yourock:

33. Well, if you are like the rest of us, this election has caused you

to be 2 people - one to function in the normal world and the other to devour the research and search for the info that will substantiate the election fraud charges.

Me, myself and I thank you from the bottom of our heart! :toast:

[Qutzupalotl]

5. Good points.

I especially liked Countdown's inability to produce the written threat they refer to, or the police report.

You're onto something big, I can feel it. Don't let up.

[JoMama49]

6. Disgruntled = whiner?

Well, let me see: we have disgruntled soldiers asking for armour, disgruntled employees, and now I suppose we have disgruntled voters too? Whose next?

[ashmanonar]

9. yes, our troops are whiners...

cuz you know, those roadside bombs don't ever kill our people, and of course their uniforms are magical, didn't you know? they just repel shrapnel like they're wearing a shield!

jeez...try giving a little thought for the people who really need it every once in a while...

[onecitizen]

16. uh.....

I don't think that was a serious statement. Irony maybe?

[KaliTracy]

12. no, they already called disgruntled voters dissidents....

makes for better copy

[Vinnie From Indy]

8. Why Doesn't Curtis Sue?

If Yang is going around telling people that they had to take legal action against Curtis for threatening them it would seem Curtis now has the tool he needs prove his case. Why doesn't he sue them for defamation? Why doesn't he sue Olbermann?

[KaliTracy]

13. the same could be asked about Feeny --

[KansDem]

10. GAG! What a tacky-looking card!

That's reason enough to leave!

I hope these same people take the tape off their mouths when asked to answer questions about their roles in ElectionFraud2004...

[mattclearing]

11. Didn't you post this already?

eom

14. Here is my email to Olberman about his reporting of error!!!!

Keith I have came to respect your reporting. There are not many places with which to actually find out what is going on with all of the different election issues.
But when I read your blog yesterday I was very confused in that you had not done a thorough investigation of what you had reported. First Clint Curtis never stated that Yang Ent. sold election software. He stated that he was requested by Congressman Feeney if he could develop an election rigging software which was then given to Cong. Feeney by Mrs.Yang. Second if I was a thief and you asked me if I was a thief, do you suppose I would be honest and open and tell you I was. Probably not, so what makes you think Congressman Feeney would be honest with you about him being crooked. He probably won't unless he is caught red handed. I thought only O'reilly spun the issues. But I am starting to think that your name is Taz Olbermann. When there are very few media outlets that give any time for what appears to be valid information it disturbs me that one of the outlets starts misreporting the true facts which causes the whole issue to appear to be fraudulent. If some of these theories you reported are true, please provide concrete proof of the police report, the threatening letter, or any evidence that supports what you reported.

Sincerely,

[Kota]

15. Thank Brad!

17. A portion of my post to Keith last night (not expecting a reply)

I emailed these excerpts of a longer note to Keith last night. I'm not holding my breath for a response, but his latest blog is not the first time I've wondered just what role Keith is playing in this process. Disagree with my concerns and suspicions if you want to, just please check your estrogen-stained blue dresses and rose-colored glasses at the door when you do. As for me, I think we're at the beginning of the second American Revolution ....

Now for portions of my long-winded post to Keith:
-----------
Keith,

1) First of all, unless and until NBC and the other media outlets comply with John Conyers' request to release the raw exit poll data, you have no credibility left with me. And your role in this story is moving from being Pulitzer-worthy to being Judas goat-like.

2) As I'm sure you're aware, the non MSM source for the Clint Curtis revelations (bradblog) has already refuted the points you've made in this blog entry on their website. Care to comment on your inaccuracies anywhere, as pointed out on bradblog?

3) You tell us that you've spoken with Feeney but no direct quotes and no face time on your show for the Repugs' "loose cannon". Further, Feeney still refuses to speak with Florida newspapers or any other media on the record. So your staff is either doing a half-assed job of journalism or you're providing cover for Feeney (something that his continued "no (public) comment"s fail to do for himself) Which is it?

4) The Hocking County "demonstration" is so laughably stupid that I'm amazed that you would give that flea circus any attention. Here's how I commented on it in a "letter to the editor" to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer: (Comments in parentheses are not in my letter -- they're directed to you.)

"In an effort to determine whether tampering with the vote counting machine by Triad had occurred in Hocking County, local prosecutors and police allowed the technician to "demonstrate" what he had done to "prove" that no wrongdoing occurred. (Of course, no one but him and his bosses really know what he did, but that seems to be beside the point.)

"It seems that we now have a solution to rampant crime in Ohio and the U.S. Just let accused criminals re-enact their crime to prove that they had done nothing wrong. Problem solved.

"Just how venal are Ohio officials and how stupid are Ohio media (and MSNBC) that they believe that this sham proved anything? What it is proving to the rest of us in the U.S. is that trusting the fate of our country's election process to Ohioans is the worst thing we can do. See you folks in court -- SOON."

5) Denigrating what John Conyers is doing, instead of blasting the inaction of the Republicans in the face of volumes of nationwide fraud/theft evidence, is blaming the wrong person here. My hope is that some honorable Republicans (i.e., the New England Senatorial contingent) will stand up with Democrats and demand that those who acted to betray our democratic principles will be brought to justice. Otherwise, the Republican Party has no future, other than hanging together.

6) "We still have no evidence of wrongdoing?" Well, here's a letter from one of the Ohio recount volunteers -- a friend of mine -- that describes three violations of election law undertaken at the behest of Blackwell. I believe I've sent this to you once, but maybe sending it to you a second time will be the charm. Please have someone who understands election law read and explain this to you and your staff:

(The letter's real long -- I won't repeat it here.)

In closing:

Keith, I know my friend would be happy to be interviewed by you or your staff. Unlike Feeney, she'll be happy to go on the record. Here is an eye witness who directly observed wrongdoing, obstruction and likely additional tampering with Triad equipment by Triad officials -- what are you waiting for? Call me and I'll give you her number.

At this point in this saga, I am seriously questioning your role in this process. You will restore my faith that you are truly "one of us" if you will demand that NBC release the raw exit poll information. If NBC execs refuse, you can then do a full (and uncensored) story on why they refused. Anything else you do from this point forward will just be white noise, against which the ringing of your Judas goat bell will sound clear to me.

Yours truly, a once new and hopeful fan, and now a growing cynic that you are simply another MSM (mostly shit media) shill:

(my name)
(my phone number)
--------------
If and when I get a response from Keith or his staff, I will pass that along. For now, I'm putting my energies behind John Conyers, Continuing to mobilize public sentiment here in Tennessee and putting in a "call to action" to John Kerry, who needs to step forward now or let us all rest in peace. Out.

[Pam-Moby]

19. Fly by night Thanks for sharing your email with us.

I feel he will reply. Even if he does not answer your questions. He has responded to several email of mine in the past, but they do not always answer my questions. :argh:

[Fly by night]

20. I've sent Keith a dozen emails, but have never heard from him yet

and most of them have been supportive of him or suggestive of other avenues he could pursue vis a vis investigations. But then mine aren't sent with floaty hearts and I'm not likely to start that now that his judgment is getting cloudy. Such a shame -- I thought he was on our side. But then we're surrounded by farting freepers on this website who use the "we" word liberally too. (Closest any of them will ever get to a liberal position on anything).

[NVMojo]

32. Excellent!!!

[VTGold]

18. Thank you for your great work Brad. You're a Godsend! n/t

[McCamy Taylor]

21. Good job, if Curtis was caught lying as his former employer was...

... (in the case of the employer who claimed that Curtis was not an former employee) the story would be all over the MSM and his name would be mud. But the MSM assumes that companies and their partners/owners would never ever tell a (deliberate) lie. I guess because journalists get all starry eyed when they see dollar signs in someones bank account or initials after someones name.

What journalists should be asking themselves is what does the source have to gain by lying? Curtis has nothing to gain by lying and a lot to lose. The people he has implicated in this crime have a whole lot to gain by lying.

[Pepper32]

22. Hmm...

With so many signatures on that card it looks like a petition for Curtis to stay. Who does YE think they're fooling? Although, I am sure they are pleased with KO's, latest blog entry. Keith O is doing a very poor job lately. How can he just throw out claims with no proof? What was he thinking? Where is the threatening letter Curtis sent? Where is the police report? It seems he gives the benefit of a doubt to Feeney and YE. Why is this?

Anyway, thanks Brad Blog for filling in the gaps, with proof!

[KaliTracy]

25. KO's blog just posted at least tries to make right with Hocking/Triad

no mention of Curtis though

[bear425]

23. Wow! Awesome entry. Can't wait to hear the response from Keef! n/t

[crispini]

24. Oh, snap!

Well, that was EXTREMELY fun reading and it will doubtless piss off KO, as it seems to be intended to do. I, personally, haven't made up my mind one way or another about Curtis yet. However, I still :loveya: KO and I'll be interested to see what, if any, response those who have emailed will get.

[libertypirate]

27. BTW -- One greeting card

Makes Mrs. Yang a liar...

ROF

[high density]

30. Keith continues to be based in reality...

...while others, sadly, are not.

[weeve]

31. Awesome job Brad !

You go, man . Keep up the good fight . Facts are a beautiful thing. Peace.
