Olbermann Goes Farther off the Reservation

Katie Couric the worst person in the world? Really?

This guy isn't a journalist, nor is he even good at delivering the news, unless you really like your news with a heavy helping of political slantedness and agenda.

Just look at how he describes Katie Couric not naming the actual reporter she was discussing when she said the media was biased in favor of Obama. Olbermann suggests she didn't name him, "[m]aybe because she didn't bother to look it up."

Hmm. Ok, or maybe because she didn't need to, or choose to, in her speech. Or maybe because she worships the devil, right? Any number of reasons are possible, Olbermann throws out one that slams Couric.

Before that, he describes Couric's calling out of the media for sexism against Hillary (in which MSNBC took part) as "Koolaidish." But then he says, ok, fine, she's entitled to her opinion.

But then he ATTACKS her for having that very opinion. He describes her statement as "nonsense," even though it was pretty obvious that Olbermann's own network was a guilty party in that sexism.

How does this guy have a TV show?
