Olbermann Calls Conservative Media Critic a Dip**** on Twitter
Well I finally went and did it. I managed to get under Keith Olbermann’s thin skin with a rather innocuous tweet yesterday.
All I did was question whether or not Olbermann, who has been banished to cable news purgatory at Current TV, is still relevant after he made the list of the most biased news commentators as compiled by the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog.
The next thing I know, I received the following tweet from Keith Olbermann’s twitter account.
I answered back with a tweet that pointed out that the list was compiled by the Media Research Center and not Accuracy in Media, who I work for.
That elicited two more back to back tweets from Olbermann:
Sounds just like Media Matters. And we know how accurate they are.
He still didn’t answer my question though. With an average of 200,000 viewers at Current, Olbermann has in essence lost about 80% of his audience and if that doesn’t make him irrelevant I don’t know what will.

He hasnt been relevant since he left ESPN!
Well … “dips**t” and “irrelevant” also seem to apply to the majority of aspirants seeking the Republican nomination for President of the United States.
Olbermann is certainly no more of a “biased news commentator” than, say, Insanity Hannity. (And … among all you “pro” journalists … doesn’t the designation “news commentator” automatically and inherently, by definition, convey the idea that “bias” is a concomitant part of being a “commentator” ???)
Where is the DISLIKE button??? Why is there no rating system on these comments?? Ted needs to have his face slapped for his inane, stupid comment.
he did this to me a few months back when i made an innocuous tweet – called me a moron and and a dumbass. guy has the thinnest skin i’ve ever seen.
Call him “Queef” next time, it drives him crazier than he already is….
Olbermann is a nasty narcissist on his way out and knows it. So, in typical fashion he insults anyone and everyone who don’t agree with him or worship at his fading reflection in the pool. A poor man’s Dorian Gray.
