Bring It On
Thursday, June 12th, 2008In this corner, formerly successful television personality who, for reasons I cannot explain, has quite an effect on me, Katie Couric.
And in this corner, obnoxious host of a second rate evening political news show, Keith Olbermann.
First Couric hinted at Olbermann’s ridiculous rants in the past few months against Hillary Clinton, and the uncalled for and little recognized sexism that he and others in the media pushed against Clinton.
Now Olbermann is on the attack.
Let’s be honest folks, it’s pretty obvious that Clinton suffered from pronounced sexism from the media. From nutcrackers being sold in her image at airports, to men with signs saying, “Iron My Shirt,” at her events, all of these things went unnoticed by the media. If somebody were selling Barack Obama watermelon’s or holding racist signs at his rallies, do you really think that wouldn’t make the front page of the New York Times?
I like Couric, even though I do not consider her a great journalist. She’s a personality, and a fun one. Olbermann is a great journalist as well, but is shrill and obnoxious and works in dramatics rather then in rational arguments.
But I do enjoy a good feud. I hope Couric does a special YouTube video mocking him. Possibly a “Countdown” of sorts, highlighting the many ways Olbermann sucks.
