If there were any doubt that Keith Olbermann has his lips squarely kissing the backside of Barack Obama, last night show completely put that to rest.
Olbermann started his show last night with some poll numbers. They indicated that Obama is cutting into Hillary Clinton's lead in Pennsylvania. He showed a Quinnipiac poll that had Clinton up by only 6%. Then he showed a poll from Indiana, (I forget from who), that showed Obama with a 5% lead over Clinton in that state. Then he went on to pontificate that the latest Obama dust-ups are nothing more than Republican inspired media hype, and attacked Hillary for even having the audacity to bring them up.
For years now, KO has repeatedly accused Fox news of being unfair and unbalanced. A charge that is absolutely true, and anyone who doesn't see, is either blind, or stupid. But as Keith rails against Foxnews, he should take a look in the mirror at himself. He has become just as bad, if not worse than the people he accuses.
Again, I go back to last night. In his zeal to project Obama in the most positive of lights, he conveniently forgets to put up additional poll numbers that show Hillary with a bigger lead in Pennsylvania, and Indiana, and a massive lead in Kentucky. According to the poll NOT reported last night by Olbermann, Survey USA has Hillary up 14%, Rasmussen has her up 9%, and ARG has her up by 20%. Also, SurveyUSA has Hillary up 16% in Indiana, and also has her with a massive 36% lead in Kentucky,(Although I find that one hard to believe).
Now, whatever you think of either Obama or Clinton, the fact is that Olbermann, and in my opinion, the whole MSNBC team is biased in its reporting the political news. It's quite obvious that Obama is their man, and Hillary be damned.
I used to like Keith when he's gone after the Bush administration and its criminality, but right now, Olbermann has his blinders on. Anything to prop up Obama, and anything to denigrate Clinton.
If Keith Olbermann is going to continue doing what he's doing, then he has no right to go after anyone else who skewers information to fit their political agenda. If he continues to do so, he will be called out as being a raging hypocrite.
