What exactly did he lie about, regarding this particular issue? What would be the "other side" to this particular story? Are you suggesting that he made the numbers up? That these politicians didn't accept the financial "donations" from the industries/companies mentioned in the Special Comment? You do realize it's all a matter of public record, right?

Try to find a list of lies by Olberman.
Last thread this was asked in, the most recent example (a very poor example, with nothing specific) was 3 years ago.

I think it will be better when the government has cornered the market...in everything. It will sure make lobbying easier. Maybe we can just mirror all the politicians portfolio's. Sweet!

Exactly. He's very opinionated, and you may not necessarily agree with him, but he certainly doesn't lie. Olbermann's very well-informed.

Furthermore, everything he said in his Special Comment is factual. Republican and Blue Dog Democrat legislators are controlled by health insurance companies and Big Phrama, and they protect their interests instead of the interests of their constituents who elected them. It's shameful.

I watched Keith last night and I thought his call out was awesome. I especially liked it that he called them out on both sides of the aisle. Way to go Keith. I'm going to have to watch more often.

Brilliant commentary by Mr. Olbermann. You might not like his delivery, but, the facts are the facts.
I've become quite fond of his fellow MSNBC anchor Dylan Ratigan as well. He posits that there is no Democratic or Republican party, in reality, what we have are health, gun, military complex (and so on) parties, and, listening to Mr. Olbermann, I think he is absolutely correct.

I never thought of it that way, he may have a point cause I've lost faith in both parties. This could explain why.

The question I have is: Did you think that you would gain credibility by using Politico as your forum name?
