Olbermann's comment is HILLARIOUS!
Here's the best part:
QUOTE: This is standard right wing bullsh*t: if you're 99% guilty of a given vice, hide behind the 1% and use the charge against the other guy. If he's 0% guilty of the same thing, make up something or twist something and pump it out through your sycophants and suddenly it's "glass houses time."
...
My bone with that statement [from Matthews, apparently] was, of course, the percentage of the country which hasn't grown at all and now shows up at Tea Parties or watching the anchors-of-color-free zone of Fox, to get reinforcement that their blind anger against the president is colorblind anger.
Only it ain't.
____
So first he says that MSNBC isn't "guilty," because a very small percentage of their staff are minorities. THEN he says that attacking MSNBC as a response, is simply a diversion and a "right-wing" tactic. How does he back this up? Why, he goes on to attack FOX! So he complains that the Tea Partiers are using a "tactic," and that's bad... and then he turns around and doesn the same thing!
OUTSTANDING! What a joke!

Rick Sanchez "reporting" on the earthquake in Chile and the subsequent tsunami was a complete disaster. He reinforced every negative stereotype by acting like a jerk to every person he spoke with. How much longer can this guy survive acting like this on air? I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the CNN control room after his live report.

I had a dream last night that Brian Williams was a guest on "Your World."
