Chicago Tribune ^ | 7/17/07 | MAUREEN RYAN

MSNBC host Keith Olbermann will moderate the AFL-CIO's Democratic Presidential Forum Aug. 7 in Chicago, as my colleagues at The Swamp posted earlier today.

The forum will take place at McCormick Place West convention center, and the audience of 5,000 will be drawn from the AFL-CIO’s membership. Candidates scheduled to appear include Sen. Joe Biden, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sen. Christopher Dodd, former Sen. John Edwards, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Sen. Barack Obama and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.

“It’s going to be a fight for oxygen in that room, between the candidates, of course, and me,” Olbermann joked at a Tuesday press conference at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills.

This gave me a good laugh so I thought I'd share it with you all. A Democratic AFL-CIO forum on MSNBC moderated by a flaming liberal Keith Olbermann. What a joke that he or MSNBC even pretends to be non-partisan.

Just when you think MSNBC can't get any worse.

Yes, on MSNBC but I strongly urge you to never watch that channel again.

NBC is all it will ever be with the likes of Olbermann and Matthews.

KO: Mrs. Clinton, where do you stand on re-deploying the Iraq contingent of US troops?

HRC: Keith, I’m more curious as to what you have in your right hand and why your arm is making those rythmic motions.

I say all the major polling moderators on the Democrat side should ban together and cutout the minor moderators like Olbermann.

I stand corrected, this seems to be an admission straight from the idiot himself that his show is liberal . . . no kidding.

“In a total must read, the Seattle Post Intelligencer’s Melanie McFarland blogs about Keith Olberman’s appearance at the TCA. Olbermann doesn’t specifically say it, but, if you read between the lines from some of these responses, he’s practically outing his show Countdown as Liberal oriented - I believe the first time he’s come anywhere near doing that.”
