Tweety Is A Fucking IGNORANT, MORONIC Media WHORE!
Suggesting that this "might" be suicide. What a SPINSTER!

This is the God Damn BULLSHIT we have to put up with as citizens of this pathetic excuse for a country.

I'm sorry, but I'm DISGUSTED that an SOB like Tweety can have the stature he does, when he's got as much intelligence as a SLUG crawling across the floor.

Suicide? What a Fucking MORON. HOW IN THE FUCK DOES A GUY LIKE THIS GET TO WHERE HE IS TODAY? WHY DOES HE HAVE A TV SHOW?

What is wrong with this STUPID, MORONIC, IMBECILIC country?

Even if he was suicidal, EVEN IF.....a guy like Lidle has enough sense and I assume compassion, not to crash into an apartment building in Manhattan, and taking the lives of innocent civilians.

That said, to speculate that the guy SUICIDED himself because the Yankees lost a series, is INANE. Keith should have told him to SHUT THE FUCK UP, but I assume he's under pressure not to attack his fellow MSNBC reporters. And I use the term "reporter" loosely, as Tweety doesn't even qualify as o

1. Get a grip and turn off your Caps Lock. I watched the entire
interview. KO acted appropriately, balanced and mature. Why do you suggest he should of told him to "SHUT ...."

8. Exactly....Keith Is Balanced And Mature....
Tweety is UNBALANCED and IMMATURE.

I'm not saying Keith was going to say STFU, because he wouldn't. He couldn't. To his compadre at MSNBC? They would never allow it. They're one big happy CORPORATE family. Even though they like to treat Keith like the ugly duckling of the bunch.

I'm just saying it's INSULTING for him to go on his national tv show, and proclaim even the possibility that it was suicide. Why would he do it? To sensationalize the story. Because they can't use the TERROR TERROR TERROR IN THE SKIES angle, so this is the next best line of thought to pursue.

As a sports guy, and a fan of the Yankees, Keith Olbermann should have been so offended by the comment that a baseball pitcher would KILL HIMSELF, and take the lives of innocent civilians, because he was traded, or lost a baseball game.

It insults the memory of Mr. Lidle, and everyone listening.

6. Chris Matthews on MSNBC...

... is affectionately (sarcasm) called "Tweety Bird" because of his resemblence to the Warner Brothers cartoon character of the same name. You can see him on Hardball (pronounced "Hah baahh").

3. hey, as long as tweety is coming up with moronic conspiracy theories....
...he doesn't have time to bash the dems.

also, the fact that tweety says stupid crap like that is good because his criticism and lies about the dems will hold less and less weight.

9. Thank you!! thank you very much..i was so offended by that broadcast i had
to shut it off..

my husband played in the major leagues for 17 years, and was a major league manager..

my son played in the minor leagues with the phillies and knew Cory when he was with the phillies and i found what Tweety said extremely offensive and i will be writing he and NBC to complain about extensively about that sob!

My husband is right now in Mets stadium doing broadcasting for xm radio..and he said the atmosphere is very somber..
My husband has been doing interviews for a couple hours now with radio companies and tv all over the nation..i can not even imagine someone as classless and disgusting as tweety was with his speculation and his unprofessional behavior at a time of such tragedy.

I send my kindest condolences to the Lidel family and all those who have lost their loved ones today.

with 33 years in the Major League family..we have lost one of our own today..sadly...and may he now fly with the angels..peacefully...

11. Agreed....It's SPIN & SENSATIONALISM
They need something to SPIN, and the story of an accidental crash into a building because of plane troubles, just doesn't do it.

So, since they can't continue with the terrorism angle, although I wouldn't put it past them.....this is the next best thing to go with.

And they NEED to cover this story, because.....well, it's of VITAL NEWS INTEREST to the country. BULLSHIT!! It's tragic, it's newsworthy, but there are 10,000 Other Things more critical to this country, but why would they want to cover those stories, when they can speculate over a despondent pitcher who lost a baseball game, and now suddenly decides to crash planes into buildings.

13. what a beautiful scentiment Mrs. Martinez
Just a guess...

Its so sad when media figures like Tweety get so desparate to boost ratings that they resort to the sensational. Shame on him. Lidel's family is in agony right now not to mention all the others who died today. How heartless!

12. In todays media world, there is no time for somber reflection or
the capacity to actual report the FACTS.

Spin and morbid speculation is all they have to go on and quite frankly. that's why I no longer watch ANY news on the idiot box.

Tweety is on of the worse, maybe that's why his show is in the toilet for ratings.
