| Moonbat fratricide: JournoList members trashed Olbermann as "pompous" and "predictable" |
| 2010-07-23 |
| Jonathan Strong - The Daily Caller If you were one of the 400 members of the listserv Journolist, perhaps one of the most vicious insults you could hurl at a colleague is: You’re just like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. If the reader holds neutral — or even positive — views about the Fox News hosts, the insult may not sting. But in the cloistered world of liberal listserv enclaves, Hannityism is a cardinal sin. After all, Fox is a “dangerous,” “deranged” “cesspool” that, possibly, the FCC should be investigating. The feelings against MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, then, must run deep. They smile in your face/all the time they wanna take your place/the back-stabbers... The Nation’s Katha Pollitt began the group’s rant. “He and Michael Musto did this whole long riff about beauty contestant Carrie “opposite marriage” Prejean’s breast implants, stupidity, breast implants, tacky clothes, earrings, breast implants. They went on and on about how she was “part plastic” and pathetic. You’d think they were celibate vegans who spent their lives zen meditating. It was just a whole TV humiliation of her, and it made me feel sorry for her, which wasn’t easy,” Pollitt said.... Go read all of it. |

| #3 “Even if all Olbermann and Maddow are doing is mirroring Hannity and O’Reilly from the other side (which is utterly preposterous, by the way), that’s a far better situation than before they came along. Just from a ratings point of view (Devil's Advocate), that might not be such a bad idea. |

| #1 Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and Chris Matthews (to a lesser extent) make their careers out of bashing conservatives, the Tea Party, and Fox News. Koolaide swallowers all of them. This is boring if anyone can stand to watch such tripe for more than a few minutes. Not viewed as reporters by their liberal peers. This has got to hurt. |
