Here's what the Media Research Center has had to say about Keith Olbermann this week alone:
-- A "drive-by bomb-thrower" from the "ratings purgatory that is his own Countdown on MSNBC" who was "[l]ike a baseball player - rescued from the nether reaches of the minor leagues and brought up to the Yankees - who cuts his hair, shaves the shaggy mustache and minds his grammar in his first TV interview." -- Mark Finkelstein, NewsBusters, Sept. 15
-- A purveyor of "odiousness." -- Noel Sheppard, NewsBusters, Sept. 15
-- "embarrassing and utterly disgraceful comments ... vitriol ... atrocious behavior." -- Noel Sheppard, NewsBusters, Sept. 14
-- "a ratings plea disguised as a Countdown report ... [an] attempt at rational thought." -- P.J. Gladnick, NewsBusters, Sept. 13
-- "apparently sober" -- MRC front page, Sept. 12
-- "the worst performance by a supposed press representative in recent memory ... mean-spirited and unacceptable ... despicable and disgraceful even for him." -- Noel Sheppard, NewsBusters, Sept. 12
-- "one of his most vitriolic attacks on the President." -- Brad Wilmouth, Sept. 11 NewsBusters post and Sept. 12 MRC CyberAlert.
-- "Like they say about statistics, there are lies, damn lies . . . and Olbermann." Mark Finkelstein, NewsBusters, Sept. 11
And this is "media research" ... how, exactly?
