Olbermann Slams Bill O'Reilly, Rupert Murdoch In "World's Worst Persons" Segment (VIDEO)

Well, Lloyd Grove was right that the truce between MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Fox News' Bill O'Reilly wouldn't last long. Olbermann slammed O'Reilly tonight in his "World's Worst Persons" segment, giving him the silver medal.

However, the gold was awarded to Fox News head Rupert Murdoch for trying to silence O'Reilly out of the fear that the controversial host would hurt the bottom line of the cable news network's parent company. Olbermann raised his fist and exclaimed, "Solidarity, Brother Bill! Free yourself from your corporate shackles!"

All right. Someone left the door open again and all the Rabid Righties came pouring in. Now we have to fumigate the place. I hope you're happy.

[Rollingballafire]

Keith is the only one addressing the Blackwater Xe issue. I love Keith, he is never hateful or untruthful or even misleading. He is also very generous, handing out money to charitable organizations for lies Sarah told and when Mancow got waterboarded. I don't see any other TV personalities stepping up to the plate like Keith. He may be funny sometimes, but he's not a joke like the personalities on Focks News or Crap News Network.

[hauty007]

Get Educated....

GE's shareholders & private sector have been FRAMED.......stay tuned, it's gonna get ugly.

[Whycee54]

Keith if it wasn't for you, I would have dropped Direct TV Long ago.

[norkas]

Keith the the only one that amlsot all the time quotes facts.

He starts off and says sir in June you said the following and quotes what was sais thenKeith says and now you say this and shows the quote of what the person says. And you say this is not reporting? You must be joking he does this on every show , and he shows the facts and will seperate ifactsfrom his opinions unlike the other news networks who make or try to make there opinions into facts by twisting the honest truth.

Keith does great reporting and yes it is obvious when he is doing funny drama

[BOin08]

Keith- stick with the Angry Man shtick and stop with the rolling eyes sarcasm. Better to go with what comes naturally-insecurity and self loathing- than your poorly timed and off target attempts at humor . It throws the whole show off center. Dance with what brung ya, bro.

[clevelandchick]

Oh please, I laughed out loud....especially when he imagined dinner at Bill O's house...'I know you want to stab me with the steak knife dear'...priceless.

[somsoc]

It is great to have Keith and Rachel back on. The know-nothings and the party of NO must run and hide now.

[rmct]

run from grouchy marks and Rachel madcow. hardly. the republicans need these two. they keep our spirits up. I hope they stay on the air. they have bad ratings

[Rollingballafire]

Look, we have a comedienne in the group tonight.

[kev1000]

Eat 'em up, Kief!

[kev1000]

Whoops - misspelled Keif.

[rmct]

it's ok nobody will notice

[cantbe]

i expect you all to be KO lovers. but you need to wake up and realize that hate doesnt sell and his ratings continue to go down. the same ol tired worst persons in the world. wow thats news i need to hear!!

[trollsbwild]

Ratings have dipped a bit due to summer. People take vacations-congress is slow, etc.

His ratings will be right back up after labor day.

KO has huge cajones. Bless him!

[rmct]

congress is slow? what about healthcare

[somsoc]

cantbe, go back to your home up Limbutts arse where you fit so well.

[LHibbard]

Apparently hate sells on Faux News, or weren't you watching? Keith doesn't always hate on Billo - sometimes he even defends him. Liberal bias or not, Keith is more "fair and balanced" than Fox Noise can ever claim to be.

[rmct]

Never ever did I ever see Groucho defend Bill. I want proof do you have a link

[igorz]

I'm guessing that you're probably one of the Fox News faithful and while Rupert been losing his shirt lately, were it NOT for hate Fox wouldn't have ANYTHING to sell. Go away.

[Akat1973]

Im so glad hes back! That special comment about all the people taking cash from the healthcare/big pharma companies should be played on a loop. THANK YOU KEITH!

[jeliz]

Love, Keith. This was an excellent clip. I'm glad there was no truce. We must stand by MSNBC, because MSNBC and CBS are the least Right Wing influenced major news channels. Keep kicking butt, Keith. Don't let them get away with anything.

[peacethinker]

KO is so much smarter than anyone on the right... his points blow right by them... it's beyond them

[BOin08]

KO is a stupid person's idea of a smart person

[clevelandchick]

So who would you say a smart person's idea of a smart person would be? You can't include yourself for the simple reason that you prefaced what a smart person's idea of anything would be in your comment.

[igorz]

Nah. That's Sarah Palin.

Olbermann was the first to present a Progressive voice on TV news. I'd call that pretty darn smart.

[Whycee54]

Um.. how much of a compliment is that? A chimpanzee is smarter than anyone on the right. KO has a keen sense of political savvy with raw wit. Like him or not, he does make you THINK!

[IFTYS]

And you wonder WHY MSNBC's ratings are way down. olbermann is an ignoramus. what is comical is that there are people who actually like him.

[Akat1973]

what is sad is faux noise employs a man who says he hates the nine eleven victims families

[billyfromphilly]

Ignoramus how, exactly? Sure he's a blowhard and occasionally over the top, but he definitely is smart and has command of the facts.

[steppenwolfsayshi]

No, Bill O'Reilly definitely makes his "facts" up in order to fit the argument. I think everyone remembers his infamous historically incorrect argument during the campaign that it wasn't the policy of previous Republican presidents to meet with leaders like Mao and Stalin in trying to argue that Obama's plan to talk face-to-face with foreign leaders we disagree with was a crazy and naive idea. Just one example. I'm sure if you watch Keith Olbermann, he would enlighten you on some more.

[rmct]

what he said

[rmct]

yeah I wish olberman would stay on MSNBC where nobody watches him and not come on the NBC pregame show. he is ruining football for me

[clevelandchick]

Less football watching and more studying your English and grammar textbooks would do you some good young man. Don't you want to make it into the 5th grade someday?

[clevelandchick]

I'm rubber..you're glue. Now go put your PJ's on and brush your teeth, you're up way past your bedtime.

[Shashi0224]

Keith is the best! He tells the truth with style and class.
Thanks Keith!! Countdown is one show I will not miss! If I'm not home I watch the podcast later!!

[rmct]

style? no sarcasm yes

[Shashi0224]

Absolute style. Keith is intelligent, classy, and informative. I love him.

[clevelandchick]

What you should have written is: Style? No. Sarcasm? Yes. Do you see how punctuation and capitalization makes an impact on the point you're trying to make?

Sigh. Probably not. Please continue with your gibberish, it's highly amusing.

[viflyer]

I find it fascinating how all the trolls here attack Oberman, but never argue the point he is making.

[cantbe]

who wants to debate degrees of hate.? i know a lot of "smart people" that cant make a decent living. they blame their problems on others and want everything for free. sounds like KO's audience.

[clevelandchick]

There was no 'hate'.....he made mocked them using their own words. All Keith does is call out Bill O'Reilly and other brain dead Con mooks on their lies. That's not hate, that's a public service.

Hate is Glenn Beck calling Obama a racist. Hate is John Bolton on Fox News saying that Clinton should not have negotiated the release of two journalists from North Korea. Hate is freaking Fox's Mara Liasson comparing Cash For Clunkers to Katrina, a disaster that destroyed a city and cost 2,000 American lives.

Finally....I find it very improbable that you know a lot of people. I think it's more likely, judging from your lack of proper punctuation and ability to pen a proper sentence, that you don't function well in society at all.

[rmct]

that would be a lot of typing. he makes errors every night. and tells half truths

[Shashi0224]

Just name one.......
You can't
You won't

[rmct]

olberman is the king of trolls

[ATFIllinois]

rmct is the king of losers. See how easy that was? nope, you probably don't get it.

[clevelandchick]

rmct is The Dunce of Trolls. It's spelled Olbermann.

[Mygirl]

Keath tells it like it is and I love him.
