Webloggin » Video – Stupidity 101, Keith Olbermann Style

Watch the video and then read the followup:

When it comes to being an embarrassment to the news media they don’t come much more embarrassing than Keith Olbermann. How this ass still has a job is beyond me.

So here we have MSNBC’s resident moron ranting and raving about how Sarah Palin “failed to do anything about” something that never happened according to the secret service. The reports of rowdy people at a Palin rally shouting kill Obama were nothing more than the manufactured fantasy of a news reporter that is now hiding behind his editor, refusing to answer questions.

And that fantasy jumped from the pages of the Daily Kos right into Keith Olbermann’s stupid mouth.

Secret Service says “Kill him” allegation unfounded

SCRANTON – The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded.

The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Obama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him.”

News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story.

Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment.

“I was baffled,” he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-Tribune.

He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation other than Singleton.

Slavoski said more than 20 non-security agents were interviewed Wednesday, from news media to ordinary citizens in attendance at the rally for the Republican vice presidential candidate held at the Riverfront Sports Complex. He said Singleton was the only one to say he heard someone yell “kill him.”

“We have yet to find someone to back up the story,” Slavoski said. “We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it.”

Hackett said he did not hear the remark.

Slavoski said Singleton was interviewed Wednesday and stood by his story but couldn’t give a description of the man because he didn’t see him he only heard him.

When contacted Wednesday afternoon, Singleton referred questions to Times-Tribune Metro Editor Jeff Sonderman. Sonderman said, “We stand by the story. The facts reported are true and that’s really all there is.”

Another incident where the mainstream media misleads the American public while ignoring the real substantiated incidents of hate by the American left. This is called professional journalism, Goebbels style. Barack Obama couldn’t have a better propaganda arm to his campaign.
