Keith Olbermann in his drive to be the champion of the Progressive Left and defender of all things, “President Obama and Democrats,” erroneously reported there is a Mosque in the Pentagon recently as a majority of American expressed their opposition to a possible community center/mosque at New York’s Ground Zero.

A mosque within the Pentagon, wait let me check the Constitution quickly; is there is something in there about separation of Church and State? (Actually, no, but there is Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists, which has always been good enough for the left.)  I am also checking to see when military leaders endorsed one religion over another one — quick someone call Speaker Pelosi — there needs to be Congressional hearings into this!

Keith, I keep checking and can’t seem to find any media releases or official military documents about this mosque at the Pentagon. Could it be that the all powerful and smarter-than -hou Keith Olbermann was actually wrong on an issue and thus has become this week’s “Worst Person in the World?” (more…)

The other half of the Huntley-Brinkley team, his impish grin and cheerful twinkle never belied the seriousness of the news he reported — although his liberal tendencies could never really be in doubt:

Good night, Chet.

Good night, David.

As was the case with most of the corrupt mainstream media last week, if you were watching MSNBC you’d never know that the now-famous Shirley Sherrod video posted by Andrew Breitbart on BigGovernment.com included her moment of redemption. But that’s because MSNBC is a den of left-wing propagandists who have sworn to tell no truth that stands in the way of their agenda.

So what was all their faux outrage over? It was over their own false claim that the video was intentionally edited in a way to unfairly brand Ms. Sherrod as racist. Therefore it is safe to conclude that in the eyes of MSNBC, falsely branding someone a racist is a terrible thing.

Unless, of course, it’s one of their own employees doing it.

So outraged was Keith Olbermann by the Sherrod affair, that Mr. Special Comment himself briefly returned from an abrupt vacation to deliver a Special-Special Comment — one of those Bizarro-Murrow moments so lacking in self-awareness that even that vipers’ nest of  JournoListers can’t help but to roll their collective eyes at him.

Here’’s the most famous graduate of Cornell Cow College, proving once again that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing — in Keith’s hands, very dangerous. Watch if you can this amazing portrait of a former sportscaster in the throes of a nervous breakdown, lashing out at both the right and the left in his historical ignorance and unearned dudgeon:

Yes, you heard that right: the Dreyfus Affair. (more…)

And so it ends, not with a bang but a Tweet: Larry King, a fixture at CNN since God Almighty was a pup, has announced he’s ending his show in the fall. According to Variety:

Here’s what he said at the start of Tuesday night’s show:

Before I start the show tonight, I want to share some personal news with you. 25 years ago, I sat across this table from New York Governor Mario Cuomo for the first broadcast of “Larry King Live.”

Now, decades later, I talked to the guys here at CNN and I told them I would like to end “Larry King Live,” the nightly show, this fall and CNN has graciously accepted, giving me more time for my wife and I to get to the kids’ little league games.

I’ll still be a part of the CNN family, hosting several Larry King specials on major national and international subjects.

I’m incredibly proud that we recently made the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest running show with the same host in the same time slot. With this chapter closing I’m looking forward to the future and what my next chapter will bring, but for now it’s time to hang up my nightly suspenders.

Over at Mediaite, they’ve got a nice wrapup of King’s announcement: (more…)
