Keith Olbermann Spins Right-Wing Dirty Trick Theory Regarding Memos

As you probably know, the liberal media spun a conspiracy theory based on the fact that "Buckhead" wrote his famous "post 47" at a time-stamp of 8:59 on Wednesday -- suspicious, NPR thought, because Dan Rather's broadcast had only ended at 9:00PM.

How on earth could someone already have so thoroughly debunked a report within moments of its broadcast? Perhaps "Buckhead" was really Karl Rove. Maybe he was even Chuck Colson.

Of course, the enlightened geniuses failed to keep in mind that there are, get this, several time zones in America-- four of them, in fact -- and that FR is hosted from the Pacific zone. Dan Rather's report ended at 9:00PM, Eastern; Bukhead posted at 8:59PM, Pacific -- better known as 11:59PM, just before midnight, by New Yorkers and other east-coasters.

Well, Keith Olbermann, who's not only not-funny but also not-bright, picked up on this conspiracy theory, even though the original premise supporting it had already been debunked. The Not-Funny Nitwit decided that, even though Buckhead had had hours to critique the piece, it was all still "suspicious" enough to begin blaming Republicans anyway.

I expect he'll be making a forthright retraction.

Any. Minute. Now.

Allah corrects me; he says that Keith Olbermann said the posting had been made "within two hours" of the broadcast. So he didn't actually make NPR's goof.

But this seems worse to me, actually. First of all, he didn't get the time right-- the post came within three, not two, hours of the end of the broadcast.

Second, he doesn't even have NPR's boneheaded time-stamp error to justify making such a serious charge of political conspiracy. He is claiming that if someone knocks down a transparent media-perpretrated forgery within two (actually three plus) hours, that means that Republican dirty-tricksters are behind the forgeries.

Is this bias?

Have you ever heard Keith Fucking Olbermann making such a serious charge against Democrats with absolutely no evidence whatsoever?

He said last night on his show that Buckhead's post was up "within two hours" of the end of the broadcast.

That does sound like suspicious timing. Why, two hours by Pony Express would hardly have gotten it from CBS Studios to Philadelphia, let ALONE anywhere with a West Coast timestamp!

Posted by: Brian B on September 14, 2004 04:08 PM

The real question is when the PDF files became available for download. West Coaster didn't have to see the local broadcast to know something was wrong if they could see the files for themselves.

Posted by: Eric Pobirs on September 14, 2004 04:10 PM

Eric,

If you follow this angle on this and several other blogs, it becomes clear that the freeper in question posted from the EAST coast, but his post got a PDT time-stamp. The docs were posted, from what I've read, immediately after the show aired back east.

Posted by: Brian B on September 14, 2004 04:18 PM

Allah, you know, I'm beginning to notice there's an awful lot of duplicative effort going on here.

I don't know how on earth we could arrange it, but it sure would make more sense to have everyone covering a specific item and then all cross-referencing each other.

Sort of like a newsroom. Crazy, I know.

Posted by: ace on September 14, 2004 04:25 PM

Are these shitwits going to argue two incompatible theories at the same time? They are real, but they are also fakes that Rove planted? Maybe Michael Moore thinks Americans are so stupid because he hangs out with these moonbats all day.

Posted by: Blacknimbus on September 14, 2004 05:36 PM

Seems to me that the looney left made this same time zone error when they tried to bash Bush and his trip to Iraq. Fools always seem to repeat their mistakes.

Posted by: Dman on September 14, 2004 06:03 PM

I'm aware of that, Brian. what I'm saying is that the availablity of the PDF files is a separate issue from the broadcast. Presumably they'd be linked on a page that also explained why CBS thought they were of interest. If this page went up well in advance of the broadcast it makes the broadcast moot in the timing of the memos' suspicious nature.

Posted by: Eric Pobirs on September 14, 2004 06:36 PM

Damn! You mean Olbermann is doing news? All that time I've wasted waiting for the scores! Damn!

Posted by: Just Don on September 14, 2004 07:43 PM

So, What is it called if McCauliffe is publishinh the DNC talking points in a press release within minutes of the show's end? Is that just honest and sincere liberals trying to educate the ignorant public?

Posted by: Dacotti on September 14, 2004 08:01 PM

Not to pick nits, but there are actually 7 timezones in the US. What does this have to do with the lousiness of Keith Olbermann?

Not one damned thing, thanks for asking.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
