Babington wrote piece before Obama's speech was finished

[RamboLiberal]

Obama's speech ended just shy of 11 p.m. ET. Babington's attack piece was posted at:

Aug 28, 11:26 PM EDT

The piece is 603 words. So we are to believe, that Babington watched the speech, gave it due consideration, wrote it, turned it in, went through editing, when through copyediting, was then posted online -- all in 26 minutes?

Update: Full Olbermann reaction:

Mr. Babington got the length of the speech wrong by at least 7 minutes. And this is analysis that will be printed in many, many newspapers, hundreds of them around the country. It is analysis that strikes me as having born no resemblance to the speech you and I just watch. None whatsoever. And for it to be distributed by the lone national news organization in terms of wire copy to newspapers around the country and websites is a remarkable failure of that news organization.

Charles Babington. Find. New. Work.

2. Wow that is even more ridiculous

I already emailed the AP tonight at [e-mail].

I am going to copy what is posted above and email taht to them as well.

How the fuck does a writer for the AP get the length of the speech wrong by 7 minutes within 26 minutes of the speech ending?

Register your disgust.

4. Write AP. Remind

them of what happened with Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass. Is that the reputation they want?

5. He obviously read it when it was released and wrote his hit speech before hearing it delivered.

6. Recommended; this mustn't be allowed to slide down the memory hole.

7. That's typical fascistwing bullshit...tearing apart a speech

with lies and nothing to back it up and hope people are stupid enough not to investigate an inch further.

8. AP no longer stands for Associated Press

it now stands for Asinine Propaganda.

9. I sent them a (well written) nasty letter.
