Schuster Defends Olbermann's Tactics and Extreme Liberalism

Since the surprising resignation from his MSNBC show on Friday, the blogosphere seems to be on fire with joy from the right and astonishment and anger from the left over the departure of Kieth Olbermann. Now I have to say, I'm not one to force anyone off of the air. Not Kieth Olbermann, not Don Imus, not even Chris Matthews (I have a feeling if the rest of the MSNBC crew doesn't curtail their insipid, public hatred for everything conservative, their new bosses at Comcast might just have them follow Olbermann closely out the door. Ratings seem to actually mean something to the new MSNBC owners)

Appearing on CNN's Reliable Sources, host Howard Kurtz witnessed the ultra-liberal and former MSNBC host, David Schuster defend one of his own by claiming that Olbermann was not unfair, bias or divisive. Other guest, television critic and Baltimore Sun columnist, David Zurawik gave Schuster unadulterated facts about Olbermann's tenure at the liberal network and how he never had any conservatives or anyone who disagreed with him on as guests. Zurawik also made note of how he and the other MSNBC hosts that made up the MSNBC mid-term election night panel "...started literally heckling and abusing the conservative politicians who won victories when they came on to do interviews..."
Schuster tried to claim that this was "unfair" of Zurawik, as well as, according to Schuster, making a "... a false equivalency that you and other folks make between Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck..."

Typically, Schuster tried to invoke Glenn Beck as the purveyor of hate on television and radio (of course) by wildly claiming, "Look, the fact of the matter is, is there are people who have tried to carry out acts of violence who were inspired by Glenn Beck." The fact of the matter? Schuster falsely claimed on national television (with a plurality) that Glenn Beck is responsible for violent acts without mentioning one name, one case where someone was arrested after the fact, or had found documentation whereby they admitted to be influenced, nay, forced to commit acts of violence because of what Glenn Beck said on the air. Not one. Not only a typical liberal ploy, but libelous, I would say.
It looks like "The One" didn't teach these frauds of liberal "news" a thing. And one of the real reasons Olbermann is gone. Of all people, Schuster should know that.
