My Comments

I agree with Alison. Olbermann takes shots here at Abrams and every other media blog out there has agreed with that assessment. Abrams has been really complimentary towards Olbermann and this is how Olbermann repays him, by dismissing him, saying that Abrams is only in charge of the daytime side of MSNBC. Even if that is true, it's not how you win friends in the workplace.

And re the comments about his brush with the tabloids earlier this year, read very carefully. He doesn't deny it. Instead he launches into questions about why is this news and the sourcing of it from a blog. Apparently he wants to give interviews to blogs like this one but doesn't want anyone to take what is said on them seriously. He also uses the old-school debate technique of asking questions to get away from answering the question posed.

Come on, this is a man who pitched a fit when Fox News left off an "n" on his name. Why in God's name do you think he didn't go on TV from Day 1 and deny this? It's his bully pulpit after all. Because he couldn't. But good for Radar for having the balls to ask the question.
