MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann used a Saturday morning breakfast session at the Television Critics Association press tour to fire yet another shot at Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly, holding up an O’Reilly mask while raising his right arm in a Nazi salute to mock his on-air rival.
“It’s just so much fun,” said the host of Countdown with Keith Olbermann when questioned about why he pursues his on-air rivalry with O’Reilly.
Olbermann also told the story of seeing O’Reilly at a celebrity fundraiser in New York, but said O’Reilly “never got within 20 feet of me. Every time I looked at him, he looked down.”
Olbermann did, however, note that his show and network have to “take more chances” in the race to compete with CNN and Fox News Channel, which he called an “ingenuously-placed political product.”
CNBC fired part-time financial analyst John "Bradshaw" Layfield (wrestler known as JBL) for doing a Nazi salute while trying to draw heat from a crowd during a WWE match in Germany. I think the NBC suits should show some consistency and fire Olbermann, but they won't because he is a lefty fruitcake and fits right in with their line of thinking.
If a conservative pulled this, he'd be yanked off the air the same day!
It just speaks to how far into the gutter MSNBC is. Why they would ever keep around such a disaster of an anchor, I will never know. Talk about deserate.
Pathetic!
