Just So You Don't Walk Away Thinking Tim Russert Hated Keith Olbermann
… based on reports from earlier this month, the Countdown host posted this item on Daily Kos:
Kindness to the grieving - even if it's forced, even if it just augurs a later pouncing - is appreciated.
For what it's worth, he didn't position himself publicly on this for obvious reasons, and we had had a very pleasant, very constructive "what can we do to keep our two styles from hurting each other's broadcast, or the whole organization," conversation. But Tim Russert was as supportive of what I did as anybody else at NBC, and his role on the MSNBC election coverage was voluntary and enthusiastic.
So that matter is all cleared up now. Right? Right?

Stay classy, Olberloon…
"God is dead." - Nietzsche
"Before he died, God told me I was his favorite journalist." - Olbermann
"But Tim Russert was as supportive of what I did as anybody else at NBC."
And Elie Wiesel was as supportive of what Hitler did as anybody else interred at Auschwitz.
As supportive as anybody at NBC? Really, like Brokaw who has no gone on the record that Keith is horrible and hurting NBC's reputation. Also, I love that Olby, hours after Russert's death, presumably deep in mourning*cough*runs to the computer to chat up people at Daily Koz with a bunch of lies about Russert. Pathetic. Russert was a real newsman and had to have despised what Keith was doing to the network's reputation. Funny, how Russert only praised Keithy AFTER he was dead. Olbermann is a lying pig.
There isn't a bigger prick alive than Keith Olbermann……period!
