Keith O spells courage

[wrando]

he speaks truth to power?
who's power?

Nikke Finke:

Well, one insider says she was booked on Keith Olberman and Morning Joe to talk about her tome — and then unbooked. “These are shows that call her regularly to come on. And then the word came from on high that she had to be cancelled.”

Brave New Films:

It seems that Arianna Huffington has run up against the impenetrable wall that is Tim Russert’s ego. Huffington, who is currently on tour for her new book Right Is Wrong: How The Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded The Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe, will be appearing on CNN, ABC, and CBS. She had been booked on Morning Joe and Countdown with Keith Olbermann as well, but those bookings were suddenly and inexplicably cancelled.

NBC confirmed that Huffington wouldn’t be booked on any NBC-affiliated show to promote her book, but refused to explain why. Huffington’s people say that this is Tim Russert’s doing, that Russert is out for revenge because Huffington called him a “conventional wisdom zombie” in her book and devoted seven pages to faulting Russert for allowing his Meet the Press guests to go unchallenged (not to mention HuffPo’s RussertWatch).


Oh, did the poor widdle WATB get his feelings hurt? Or were Arianna’s words just a little too close for comfort?

1. I am not an Ariana fan but this shows how much power the media has

2. ko goes along for the ride

If it were to his benefit he would trash Obama every night and not Hillary. He is unwatchable, predictable, and uninforming. Almost every thing on his show comes of the blogs because what you see is what you have already read. The same lame guests and O'reilly obsession night after night. I said goodnight to KO long before he started campaigning for Obama.

4. Yeah I'm with you on this one Keith should've backed her up on this one.

[wrando]

5. if you like obama

Huff post is a big Hillary basher

KO is a big Hillary basher

where does KO's interest lie, with Russert, or Obama, or his job?

why should his job hinge on something like this

the media is an old boys club rife with corruption, they help start bad wars

KO is just as creepy and more hypocritical
