Also, by reading this post I'm almost convinced you're an idiot.

Keith Olberman is BY FAR the most biased analyst/reporter on television.

–noun
1. the substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt.
2. the expression so substituted: “To pass away” is a euphemism for “to die.”

That's not a euphemism. I can't remember the correct term for it, however what you did is take one statement and stretch into something almost different entirely.

What that is, is the most common thing to see from a far left OR right fanatic.

ie. your hero, the ultra-liberal idiot that is Kieth O.

I could be wrong, though.

I thought it was humorous how she tried to pretend not to understand the malicious intent behind the poster.

See my previous comments about jumping in with both feet, then peruse this:

But after I heard Carlin basically say that Countdown was his favorite political program on TV after Maher, I decided to give him a chance. I gotta admit, it's pretty funny, and he's got a knack for making guys like Hannity & O'reilly look like the fools that they are.
As for "fair and balanced", "no spin" and "they report and I decide" bits:

We Report, You Decide

Fair and Balanced

No Spin Zone

Try to keep up sparky. I'd hate to have to stop and explain this stuff to you every 5 minutes.

Breaking News | Latest News | Current News - FOXNews.com

Fair and balanced - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In December 2003, Fox News found itself on the other end of a legal battle concerning the slogan, when AlterNet filed a cancellation petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to have Fox's trademark rescinded as "notoriously misdescriptive." AlterNet included the documentary film Outfoxed as supporting evidence in its case.[2] After losing early motions, AlterNet withdrew its petition and the USPTO dismissed the case.[3]


Wait, AlterNet was wrong?


The O'Reilly Factor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure why you have referenced this, as it doesn't provide any insight to why you believe K.O. is the more "fair" reporter.

Try to keep up sparky. I'd hate to have to stop and explain this stuff to you every 5 minutes.
Yes, and I'm glad you've used Wikipedia as your primary source of info, although, you seem to be lacking any real evidence that K.O. is fair other than your opinion.

I'll look to see if I can dig up various audio clips of different shows to see if people really think KO is more fair. Just listening to KO talk is enough to prove he certainly does not report fair.

With that in mind, kindly point me to where I say Keith Olbermann is fair.

And think (or at least make an attempt to) before you point to this:

So you're telling me to point where you said that KO was fair, but you're eliminating the post where you said he was fair?

Hey, dipshit. You're a fucking biased idiot.

I did just the opposite. I compared him to the other biased guy on the right (You know, the one with the "no spin" slogan on the network with the "We report, you decide" slogan, that used to have the "Fair and Balanced" slogan?).

So in essence, I agreed with you. You were just too stupid to pick up on it.

So, I guess grats, and uh, have a nice evening. Come back soon when you're feeling more up to it.
