Keith Olberman

by Michael Sternberg

I watched with dismay Wednesday night (Oct 10, 2007) as Keith Olbermann of MSNBC’s Countdown omitted pertinent facts and made false statements in his story about Mitt Romney's infamous response in the CNBC/Wall Street Journal GOP debate.

In his introduction, Olbermann states, "In Dearborn, all eight contenders weighing in on executive authority vs. congressional authority..." However, nine candidates participated in the debate, and Olbermann's misstatement was made even more bizarre by the video coverage he was showing while making it. The video (below) clearly showed 9 debaters on stage.
