New York Post's Latest Assault On Olbermann: Gym Annoyance

The News Corp-MSNBC feud continues, as the New York Post has found another way to hit Keith Olbermann: including him in an infographic of common complaints at New York City gyms.

Listed among "aggressive nakedness," "pooping in the pool," and "sex in the showers," is "TVs tuned to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann."

Last week, the Post's Page Six targeted Olbermann over back taxes owed by his corporation, Olbermann Broadcasting Empire, Inc.

As mentioned last week, this is all part of an ongoing feud between the White House/News Corp and GE/NBC News/MSNBC. Three weeks ago, the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz reported that News Corp was unleashing Bill O'Reilly on GE (parent company of NBC) to retaliate for comments made by Olbermann. That same day, a negative item about Olbermann appeared in Page Six. Shortly thereafter, the White House attacked NBC News for selectively editing Richard Engel's interview with President Bush.

too bad 'kissing ones own muscles' is more annoying

My gym has Fixed Noise one at least one of the TVs, specifically the one right above the lower back extension machine. Using that machine is the only time I actually have to see that balderdash, assuming I'm using the elliptical machine in that particular bank of cardio machines, yet I'm not freaking out about it.

And exactly what is "aggressive nakedness," anyway?

[Independentjunkie]

KO show = not one single guest that does not agree w/ him. Atlest Billy O show has guest disgaree w/ him and he is not afraid to invite opposing opinions...

KO show is one big yes massa show..

[belikejeanvaljean]

BO may have guests who disagree with him, but he only has them on for conflict, then shoots them down and doesn't let them finish a sentence.

Yes, Keith has mostly people on who agree with him, and his show is largely political commentary from his point of view. He does, however, give his viewers a lot of facts that are hidden or obscured by the MSM, and calls the Bushies and Fox on their lies and spin. (Showing Bush's full response to Richard Engel's interview questions, for example, that the White House had complained was unfairly edited. Watching the complete version, one could see that NBC had done the President a favor by editing out much of his blithering, confused, deer-in-the-headlights rambling!) And when he does have a guest on that he doesn't agree with, he is always gracious to them, unlike BO.

I may not agree with Keith 100%, but I never miss his entertaining, smartly-produced show. BO could learn a lot from him.

Sure BillO brings guests with opposing views on the show so he can attack them and subject them to twisted logic and finally turn off their mike. Yea that is one fair and balanced show you got there.

[JonStewart4President]

He'll yell at them, or cut off their mike if he doesn't agree with them. And then afterwards trash them and lie about them and distort what they said.

Yeah, BillO is such a bastion of journalistic integrity and of course, being "fair and balanced." Chya, right.

[IanToronto]

It's a nothing survey ("informal"), done by a nothing newspaper. Mentioning it here only brought it more attention.

'Nuff said.

[Stella1]

Oberman is the Bill O`Reilly of the far left .

[nanoscare]

Mr. O'Reilly, is that you? You need to make up a new sentence for the next Olbermann article, that one is getting stale. Copypasta is more boring than your show.

[gakabani]

Intellect and patience! Olbermann has it all. The fascists are now on their last steps. Bush is coming to an end and his FOX supporters are sooner or later be discredited.

[Brillig]

There is no bad publicity. To think you made the top 10 list. People in GYMS all over AMERICA are watching Keith Olberman!!! GREAT!!!

Keep those remote controls hidden, gym owners!

[9liberal]

Keith is the best!! ROCK ON! You should be required television!! :)

[ZimboChick]

4got to say Keith rocks!!! Instil the fear O man

[ZimboChick]

what is aggressive nakedness at the gym? If you are going to the gym shouldn't you expect to see people in the sauna, leaving the shower and drying themselves/applying lotion, sitting around in the hot tub? *innocent blank stare* I am not covering up in any of those places...damn change gyms then and as for the poopers...no comment

[charon]

Actually, "gym" means "naked" in Greek, or "gymnos," to be exact. Of course, the Germans named their high schools gymnasia (pl), meaning a place for training, the connection being that those (hopefully) buff Greeks liked to train naked, I guess.

[kimbari]

Keith is appointment TV in my house!

[bos123]

Keith, You are the best in MSNBC.

[demdan07]

that's not exactly saying a lot.

[spyda]

[DubiousAtBest]

I hate going into a gym. Too many people doing "terrorist fist jabs"...

[shroomingnewman]

who the hell poops in the pool?!?

[littlepuffycloud]

LOL!! The same ones who have sex in the shower?!

[WarriorLemming]

Oh, I get the "sex in the shower" thing now but I was wondering what's wrong with sex in the shower. When it happens in a gym then.....is it the same ones who are pooping in the pool though? o.~

[HDR]

More importantly, in which gyms does this pooping take place?! Maybe Page 6 could do an exposé on that one, no, really.

[OddManOut]

Those who find the toilet too far away or inconvenient?!?! Sick.

[nanoscare]

I am guessing that the gym is for employees at the NY Post.

[mahack]

Only Red necks and bigots with no education background watch FOX.
Go Keith kick their ASSES.

[Actionmac]

#1 gym annoyance: people that come to the gym to watch TV and get in the way of people trying to get their work out on.
