What I Saw In Arizona. Part One: Billy Hamilton

This was really intersting and I loved that KO talked about it.

Big Lar
Maybe Olbermann can join ESPN and rant against how unfair it is that some teams score more points than other teams.
enviroman
He used to work for ESPN. They fired him too!

Sorry but that is not KO’s formor employee’s KO’s only been fired two places, here is KO’s real job history and not your made up one Wow MSNBC would not know if someone is proforming well or not, because they have gone through three hosts since KO left, never giving the other two guys a chance, also KO quit MSNBC he was not fired and he quit with one of the highest rated shows there, so you show that you do not even know his career is also BB is a made up name and made up story,
here is KO’s career because you care more about making crap up than listening Sorry but he would not get fired from that also, again because you seem to think that bashing KO and being igorant about who he is, here is KO’s career KO has never been fired from ESPN and MSNBC that has been debunked over and over again. Once again OO you show that you are igorant on the difference between being fired and quiting, OO what part of you do not do last shows and get a salary if you get fired, here again is KO’s job history because you love to get this one wrong. Again OO that is a made up talking point by you and others that have zero clue about who KO is, let me explain, Paul again you seem to love to write the most stupidiest post that I have every heard of. So in our world because a company is small and claim that they are progressive that means that they can treat thier employees like they did with KO like crap and I should just be on thier side because they are suppose to have the same idology. That is beyond the most stupidest crap that I have heard of in me my life. First Paul you cannot refute like Current could not why KO got unjustily fried and abused here it is again I love KO and why his personality had zero to do with what happened at Current, that article even tells about Hyatt and AIDS aka firing someone with AIDS and you want me to believe KO’s the bad guy. Keep making me love and respect KO more and more and show that all you wnat to do is bash him and put up gossip articles that can easily get refuted, you also do not get what I do about KO is that he a professional and someone that is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in which is what mangement hates about him and why he has a hard time with them, it what people love, keep lying about KO that is all you know how to do, you keep showing why I am a fan and always will be. Jack you also show why KO got unjustily fired from Current you have no evidence that KO is unemployable, only a gossip site by mangement that for the first two aka MSNBC and Fox are hypocritical and includes Current, and one with someone who has just as bad a reputation as KO suppose to have, and who wants to still get on KO’s case about something that he apologized for showing that she has zero crediblity and sounds like it just a revenge post. KO keep being yourself again will be pissed if you do not get the justice for being unjusticly fired from Current. Jack why does KO been in this industry for 33 years if he so unemployable that is how BS your argument is. KO keep being yourself and showing off your great personality and showing why KO is this generations Murrow and why he will be around for years to come, keep being yourself KO and you will always have a fan in me, again Current needs to stop lying and tell people the truth that your personality and ego is not why you got fired and that you work fine with others, Hyatt needs to explain why he and Brohem thinks it okay to make thier broadcating stars to work with a throat infection, that jack shows that Current never cared about KO, just like MSNBC who wants to re-write history and is okay with people that speak at partisain events and other employers doanting but KO the bad guy, that he unbelieveable MSNBC is on that topic. All that shows jack is why I do not watch Current and MSNBC and how dishonest those mangements are. You really love to show that KO works fine with others. KO keep being yourself and you will always be perment on my wall, ipod and ipad and life and why you got unjustily fired from Current. jack you just make me love and respect KO more and more with your BS crap about who he is. Jack thier is no and you just showed once again there is no evidence that KO personality was what got him fired. Keep lying about KO and showing that KO has zero clue how to lie and that you Jack have zero clue how to tell the truth about KO and his past employment. KO love you faults and all. Here is KO true oo job history not your made up debunked version Mike thanks for showing me that you are beyond ingorant on KO’s job history. KO Mike was never fired from MSNBC or ESPN, also Mike KO was rehired by both of those companies, wow some bad personality there, Mike do you live in alternte reality, Mike you do not do last shows which KO did at both MSNBC and ESPN if you been fired. KO and even MSNBC have said that KO quit, he even got his salary that also Mike does not happen when you are fired. So no Mike he has no history of being fired by every employer that is pure BS and again has been debunked. He only be fired from Fox and that was for reporting the truth and Current and that was unjutily because they promised him the moon and never delivered. Also MIke he did not leave for the same reasons, you really hate listening to facts. ESPN he left because he and his bosses could not agree on a new contract, he wanted to go to New York, they wanted him to stay in Bristol, the reason he left the second time was that Patrick had quit ESPN and thier was nothing that he really did, so no ESPN had nothing to do with KO working well with others and personality and ego, so wrong there. MSNBC he left first time because he hated doing repaeted news of Monica Lewinsky, they sold him to Fox Sports, Fox is where he got blackmailed and fired for reporting the truth about Murdoch and the Dogers. So wrong there Mike, MSNBC a second time he left because a they scwered him over on campaign crap and he felt that they were taking creavity control away, again had nothing to do with personality and ego. So Mike you just again show how ingorant you are on KO. KO personlity again is not the reason he got fired at Current, again I care crap about that Mike, and I looked at the evidence thier is no proof Mike that KO broke the contract, none, zipo. Keep embarrassing yourself with made up debunked crap. I do not listen to people who are beyon igorant of KO’s job past espically ones that put out that debunked crap that KO was fired from MSNBC and ESPN. Mike I do not have to be a fan to tell you, people that are fired do not get rest of salary and last shows, KO got a salary from both the times that he worked at ESPN and MSNBC and did a last show that he thanked and said goodbye to people, that shows even to people that are not fans and people that unlike you know what commen sense is and uses it that KO was never fired from those networks. Mike sorry but you lie throught your teeth when you put out the debunked crap that KO’s ego and personality are bad they are not. Mike all you do is make me love and respect and show why he this generations Murrow. Sorry only got fired from Current and Fox, quit MSNBC and ESPN both times, that does not show that he hard to work with only that mangers have zero clue how to handle independent, prefetionist like him. I do not oo listen to people about KO who are so igorant when it comes to his work history, those people show that have no idea what facts are. OO you do not do last shows like KO did at MSNBC and ESPN if you were fired, you do not get a salary if you are fired, KO is this generations Murrow, you would not know what Murrow is. You oo are the one that is showing that you are Krusty the clown, you cannot refute anything that I say, so you decide instead to be the grammer and spelling police, people that are like that show that they are everything that they claim KO is. KO has worked in this industry for 33 years, that is the truth. OO I know that people that lie about KO’s career show that they are not to be listened to when it comes to KO, because they show that they do not know what facts are. OO you just showed that you do not have common sense. People that live in the real world not your fantasy world know oo that if someone does a last show and still gets a salary, that means OO that they quit and did not get fired. You show that you are beyond igorant when it comes to KO and you know that you are igorant when it comes to KO, but you are such a gutless coward that you only care about putting up debunked crap, like the lies about KO’s career than listen to the truth. You show with that post that KO is this genertions Murrow and you Oo are Krusty the clown and do not say different because I know like all your other posts that will be a lie and just show how igorant you are on KO. OO keep showing that KO can never lie and that you do not know what facts are and what truth is. OO KO only been fired from two places and they were by bad bosses, one that thinks like you telling the truth is bad aka Murdouch and one that wants to be lazy and not take responsibity for what happened at Current, that is it, the other places he quit out. There is no evidence but in your mind OO that KO was fired from MSNBC and ESPN. You do not even know what being fired is and what quiting is that is how made up your posts are.
OO quiting is when you do a last show and still get a salary like what happened at MSNBC and ESPN, getting fired is no salary and no last show that is what happened at FOX and Current, anyone with a brain that they like to use unlike you know that. You are so igorant on who KO is. YOu show again with this post why KO is this generations Murrow and show that you do not know what facts are. Keep lying about KO’s job history, the facts are and always will be and if you say different you would be lying and showing that you do not know what a fact looks like. KO quit ESPN in 1997 because of contract neogations falling apart, went to MSNBC quit MSNBC the first time because he wanted to do real news not just report on MOnica Lewnsky all the time, went to FOx got blackmailed by a guy that is know been in a scandal for hacking phones showing that he not to be trusted when it comes to honesty about anything, fired for telling the truth about Murdoch selling Dogers. Went to MSNBC, quit again because he did not like the hypocricracy that went on there and thought that he was loosing support and got a offer from Current. Than got unjustily fired and if you say different you be lying and showing how igorant you are on KO. There is no evidence that his personality is why he not there. This shows that he worked pretty steady in his career also
You again show why KO is this generations Murrow and why he will be around for years to come, you Oo are Krusty beacuse your post has no facts and truth in them. You even lie about KO’s career and put up stuff that has been debunked over and over again. Keep making me love and respect him and showing why I am a life long fan.
I do not listen to people on KO who put up that debunked crap about KO’s career because I know that people like you who say that, have no facts and are not wanting to argue facts all you want to do is show and if you say different than that will be a lie beacuse KO has quit MSNBC and ESPN both times. People like you show why we need KO and why KO is this and always will be this generations Murrow. KO keep being yourself and you will always be perment on my wall, ipod and ipad and life. Love you faults and all. So Paul keep putting out a debunked lie. KO has been working in broadcasting business for 33 years at different jobs. Wow I wonder if you worked that long, also KO is not a rich kid. He was raised in a upper middle class family, that is not what a rich child looks like. Paul I watch KO had his prefectly fine mentally, I guess in your world peoeple that tell the truth and show why they are this genrations Murrow are bad. Also Paul the reason why KO cannot drive if you would listen is That Scinece is called a head injury not brain damage, also KO does not have a personal limo driver, that story Science turned out not to be true, the person that was suppose to have drove KO and said this basically came out and said that he had never drove KO. So keep lying, also you claim to read KO on twitter, so please Science if KO has his own Limo driver why are the pictures like last night that he shows are him reading the subway, wow some driver, also him not being able to drive Science does not mean that he has brain damage, I guess you are going say that people that are visaul imparied are also brain damged because they cannot drive, you really are putting up BS posts and showing that you the unintellngent one, not me and not KO. KO had a head injury that is why he cannot drive, head injuries and brain damage are not the same, you can have damage with out hitting your head, and you can have a regualry head injury that has nothing to do with your brain. Keep showing that you the one that has zero inteillgence and that KO is the intelligent one. Love how you believe debunked stoires. Again keep showing how igorant you are on KO. YOu just love to show why he is this generations Murrow and why you have no idea and never will have a an idea about who he is. KO never broke the contract and Current was not able to pay the drivers, which make sense because they never seemed to pay the electrity bill because KO was in the dark or fix his set. Keep proving that KO cannot make crap up and that you cannot tell the truth. You really love to prove that KO is this generations Murrow and you love to embarrass yourself in showing how igorant you are on him.I guess in Paul fantasy world the only people that are fine mentally are people that can drive, wow Paul people have all sorts of reasons for not driving that does not mean they need to see a shirink or that they have metnal problems, it means that like KO they have a injury that pervents them from see right while driving. Also KO is not gay. So Paul explain to me, how do you know a person is gay, because straight people are so spouse to know how to drive, and have children and family by now. Wow Paul that is not remotely what gay and straight look like. KO has dated women before, he even dated igraham, also I do not listen to people when it comes to who show that they are homophobis like you are. This is the most stupidieset thing that I have read all week. KO fine mentally and always has been only people like Paul who do not know what honesty is and love to make stuff up about people’s private lifes says that. KO tells truth to power, and shows why he this generations Murrow and can never lie. Paul hates KO because he suppose to tell him how bad people that are gay are, and he suppose to let the people that Paul wants to critized to critized, Paul do yourself a favor and learn what mentally ill is. KO standing up to bosses like he did at Current and other places is shows that he cares more about vaules and morals than he does issues and do not put that debunked crap about Current because here is what happened there Again because you do not like hearing the truth here is what happened at Current Again you show that you do not listen to truth or facts, that is a made up talking point. again here is the evidence that you love to igonre that shows that KO was unjustily fired. I do not listen to people like you who keep putting made up crap. Current being a ragtime operations is a BS excuse. ragtime operations do not make people who are have a thorat infection that is serious in KO’s industry have work, that shows that they do not care about who they are hiring, they do not get rid of thier co-Ceo that knows what he doing, that is how made up that statement is here is again is the facts and what happenedWow you also seem to want to lie about KO’s career. KO was not fired from ESPN or MSNBC. I want you to explain to me why was KO able to a last show at ESPN, I did not realize Nick that people that were fired could do that. Nick what happened at ESPN is that they could not find a agreement when it came to reneogationating his contract. He wanted to be in New York, because he was single and cannot drive and had family there. ESPN wanted him to stay in Bristol, so they left on mutal agreement. At MSNBC the first time he quit because he did not want to talk other things beside Lewensky scandal. He was then traded to Fox, he got fired from Fox for reporting the truth about Murdouch selling the LA Dodgers. Which at Fox is not allowed. He was than hired back from MSNBC, and when he left in January of 2011 he was again allowed to do a last show and mangement even said that KO left on his own aka mutal agreement and he got paid the rest of his contract, that shows pacfically that KO was not fired from MSNBC just like ESPN. Also KO was rehired by ESPN to work with Dan Patrick before he left ESPN. Nick keep lying about KO’s career history.
Nick also I want you to explain when has a professional responsible business ever put out a letter that is a personal attack on the person that they letting go, so again explain Nick how this ego and KO’s fault. Also KO keeps his fans up to date on twitter about his abences and what is going on and when the subs are going to on and letting the subs like Press tweet when he going to be on. He also saying who on the show and his staff doing twitter saying who on when Shuster is on, while Current will not take responsible for thier mistakes like the tenichal problems which is business which in the couter-suit they claim is thier job. Nick why did Current want KO to do a commerical for a corporation and have a corporate sponser, when they advertised that they were corporate free, also giving corporation his website, wow trying to make KO a hypocrite to his audience and people like me who are fans, and love that he stands on principle. Why did Current leak the primary story to the press, and KO and his lawyer only confirm that lawyers that were involved that Current said were saying, Nick how is that sabtoging them, when they were putting out email and letters and putting out qutos about KO, and all KO does is defend them and confirm that lawyers involved, along with making KO go against his principles and make them go again what they stood for by being corporate free. Wow Nick that shows that Current is sabtoging themselves and unjustily fired KO.
Nick KO was unjustily fired and that is the truth and thier is nothing that going to change that. Also nick explain why when articles about KO come out he or his team aka lawyer and manger always quoted, but with Current it sources, and that Hollywood story says sources and they say that KO was the one responsible why not deny when KO said they had told him it was his manger. Who is it the manger or KO. and they cannot deny that they blackmaiel and threaten to fire staff, all showing that they not KO realeased the salary. They also never reprimended KO for saying that he was on a preplanned vacation to fans on twitter, showing that they had approved it. So again I would be pissed if KO does not get the justice he deserved for being unjustily fired.
Nick keep making me love KO and respecting him more and more and showing why KO will be aroud for year to come. KO keep being yourself and showing why you are this generations Murrow and you will always have a fan in me. Lov eyou faults and all. Again Hyatt is someone that fired some with AIDS and you take what he says seriously. Dude I researched this over and over again and nothing shows that KO personality is why he not at Current. Keep showing how igorant you are on KO. KO again keep being yourself and sorry that you got unjustily fired at Current. OO loves to show why you are this generations Murrow and that OO loves to put out debut, Paul KO quit ESPN because of a contract disagreement, he did a last show and got a salary, Paul people that get fired do not get to do a last show and say goodbye or get there salary, he was hired back and ended up quiting again. He quit MSNBC first beacuse he wanted to do something other than Lewnisky and MSNBC did not, so he left or said he was sold to Fox sports, was blackmailed at Fox and reported on a true story about Murdouch selling the Dogers and was than fired, wow I did not know that telling the truth and being fired for it and being blackmailed there showed that KO had mental problems, oh that is right is shows that KO is mentally and has always been mentally sound. He went to MSNBC a second time and was there for eight years, he was at ESPN first time for five. Wow expect for Current, KO has even been steady working at the same job for a while with five at ESPN and eight at MSNBC, wow that again shows that Paul would not know what a mental illness is if it bit Paul on the head, he quit because MSNBC mangement is beyond hypocritical with the fact that they do not mind aka Geogary and SHultz people being speakers at fundraisers and Scrabough who only got caught a punished when he donated when KO was unustily punished for it. So MSNBC has a dishonest mangement team, they even do not want to see and keep acknowledging that KO was the one that brought them the success that they have. So wow I did not realize again like Fox mangement aka MSNBC dishonesty mangement was showing that people had mental problems, or that is right it does not. Paul also I have been on twitter, you think that trolls that love to bully and name call people should be allowed to say whatever they want and not get called out. Wow you again show that Paul thinks that name calling and lying about people’s careers and saying made up crap, shows that Paul hates facts. Paul those are the people that KO calls out that shows someone that loves to tell the truth and expose real bullying. This is not what mentally ilness looks. Also he talks politcs and baseball and puts out sunsets and answers questions. Paul I want you to explain how is that mental ilenss. Oh that is right it does not because Paul has no idea what a mental ill person looks like. Also Current KO was dealing with imcomptent mangement, which say that they handled the business part of things but did not want to fix set problems only wanted to complain about them and put blame on others, the one owner Hyatt fired someone with AIDS at his other business and was sued, and while at Current, got rid for no reason at all his co-ceo who knew the business, knew how to handle egos and yes KO has a big ego everyone in his business does, but ego is not why he not at Current, he’s is just right for someone in his industry. So that shows that I should not believe Hyatt when he says anything. His president Broham should know that when someone has a thorat infection aka a broadcaster, you do not try to make them work, espically when they are about to do Super Tuesday, the night before Super Tuesday is not important compared to your broadcaster vocal health. The fact that Brohem did this shows that he cared crap about KO and would have rathered worked him until he vocal chorads were so damaged they prevented KO from every working again even at Current. I was beyond pissed when I read that email. Paul I do not have to be a fan to know that KO is mentally sound, I also know that he is not a and never was a rich kid, yes he went to Hackly but going to a prep school or even a private school Paul does not make a person rich. Also going to Ivy League school like Cornell is also not mean that you are a rich child. Also calling out trolls Paul and putting up cool sunset and sundown photos and tweeting baseball and politics and interacting with people, shows that you are mentally stable, having worked in the brodacasting business and worked steadily in it, shows that you are mentally stable. Driving Paul has nothing to do with mental health. Again Paul I do not listen to people that think it okay to make fun of people that are gay when it comes to mental health. You show Paul and do not say different that KO’s mentally and always been mentally fine, you show that Paul loves to show how much of a homophobe that he is, and that KO unlike Paul knows more about tolerance. Paul wants to show that he igorant about who KO is and what his career and job history are. Paul you show why KO is this generations Murrow and make me love and respect him more with this made up BS piece. I know that anyone putting this out shows that they have no idea who KO is and that they would rather make fun of the mentally ill which is pahtic than listen to the truth. KO keep being yourself and you will always be perment on my wall, ipod, ipad and life. Love how you show Paul what tolerance and what mental stableness is. Also how you have no idea how to be mentally ill or how to be homophobe. Wow keep embarrassing yourself Paul with BS posts like this that shows that Paul does not live in the real world and loves to make lies up about people along with showing what a homophobe he is. KO sorry you got unjustily fired at Current, I will differently be pissed if you do not get the justice that you deserve for being unjustily fired there. Again you are the only one that will get me to watch news again. Love you faults and all. also exlpain why Carr says he can work again Paul. Again Paul people have said this about KO since he left ESPN. This Paul has been debunked over and over again. So sorry Current claiming to be progressive does not show Paul that KO can never work again. This shows that you do not get that bad mangement can happen anywhere. Also Paul Current is not progressive, and do not put out the hosts. They think that it okay to lie to viewers about who they are, they say they are corporate independent but than they go and try to get KO to go against his principles and do a commerical for AT&T. This Paul is not what progessives are about. Cenk Paul keeps critizing Obama so wow they are not Obamabots. KO Paul has critized this president. So the fact that you say that shows that you know that KO can easily get a job in broadcasting but you do not want to admit it. Again you show that you are beyond igorant about who KO is. Paul I laugh at people like you who put up that BS lie and try to make it true. Sorry Paul KO can work again if he wants to in his idustry. Keep showing me why KO is this genrations Murrow and that you are beyonf igorant about who KO is.
Oo the he burnt his last bridge has been debunked over and over again, you are showing how igorant your are on KO when you put out that debunk lie. Here is what Patrick said about this, Also Dan Patrick who been a friend of KO since they worked together at ESPN. would be laughing at you when you say KO is unemployable. KO quit MSNBC in 1999 and than was rehired in 2003, he quit ESPN in 1996 and was rehired in I think 2004 because he was regulary with Patrick before he left that is how made up the burnt his last bridges is. Keep lying about what I am, you just make laugh with how dishonest you are when it comes to fans. First you think when I defend KO I and other fans are in a cult and because I call you out again on that lie, you think it obession. I on a KO blog where he writes, that is not a obession. Also if you hate KO so much why are you on a site that writes, I think the truth is you are obessed with lying about KO and making up crap about his past. You already lied about his employment. I know that it will take awhile but just like Carr of the times and Patrick he will be back. Always is, said he would not be and than came the bad deal with CUrrrent. So keep lying about who I am and who KO is. I only and only evey be a fan and as a fan I not afraid to defend the person that I am a fan of. Being a fan is not a obession. Keep lying about me and KO. YOu again just make me love and respect him more. I go by the people that know KO personally like Dan Patrick when it comes to when KO going to back and employment not trolls who cannot get that KO was only fired from two places. and has worked in the same career for 33 years and counting. Again if KO is so toxic why do channels hire him back, that is what I keep telling you up top that is why I laugh when people like you say that, because it always needs up as a lie. It sometimes takes a while but if he wants to a network will take the risk. Again why is that Dan patrick who a friend of KO and worked with him at ESPN says that he would come back to a network, Carr who article was mostly negtive says that network will easily hire him after a certain amount of time and he in the industry. So keep living in your fantasy world on that one. That always turns out to be a lie. So I do not take your garantuee because I know that anyone that says that shows that they do not know who KO is and even how popular he is with people, even to fans that get angry at him when it came to Current want him back on the air somewhere. So sorry but I do not listen to people that say that a network can never hire him and never will because I know from looking at the pattern of his career and the success that he brings aka ESPN and MSNBC, which shows the track record of building channels showing that he already secrued his place in history when it comes to television, shows why networks take the chance on him. Sorry but you show that you do not want to listen to truth, again only insult. Keep making me love and respect KO more and more. Wow even Carr who would agree with you about KO and his bosses says that KO can come back. Wow OO that is how BS that lie is. OO the truth is KO can work anywhere if he wants, so if does not come back that is because he does not want to work. If does come back which probably happen it because he wants to work, and also again like what happened the when he was unjustily fired at Fox, it took a while before he went back and second time, Sorry but KO has burnt nothing that is made up BS and again shows that OO is ingorant on KO’s job history, keep showing that you have zero clue who KO is. Sorry but KO can work again, keep embarrassing yourself with your igorance on who KO is. Sorry but KO did break the contract and was nothing that Current said that he was, and I am someone that cares crap about his personality and how he gets along behind the scences. There is no proof RB that KO broke that contract.
Current came out with something that you have never heard of a attack letter, because they knew that they are everything that they claim KO is and that they broke the contract.
Keep shoiwng how igorant you are on KO and what his career is and do not say different because that would be a lie. Keep showing why KO is nothing that you and Current says he is and that you are everything that you want KO to be.
ALso that takes to web page not the article. Keep making me more of a fan.
Get off the blog and let people talk baseball. All this shows is how igonrat you are about who KO is and always will be.
Sorry but KO was never fired from MSNBC or ESPN, he left but you do not know what fired is and what quiting is, when you do a last show that means and when you get money after you leave that means By that you have quit, go to the we igorant about KO’s career blogs and let people talk baseball. KO only been fired from Fox and unjustily fired from Current that is it, all rest are made talking points by people that you who hate facts and truth and do not say different because that would be another lie out of your mouth. Sorry but KO was only fired two times the rest has zero truth, and once again show that By has no idea who KO is and never will.
Go to we love to lie about KO’s career club, also here is who Gibson is and why people that live in real world know that name is made up Video ››› June 9, 2009 10:01 PM EDT ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
So I would not listen to anything he had to say about anything. You once again show how igorant you are and that you hate listening to truth and being debunked so you post stuff from people that agree with you and just like can easily be debunked and show that they are the ones that doing the ad homein attacks and that they are showing to support people that KO and someone on the street is smart than both Gisbon and Levin. SOrry but that just shows how made up that BB story is and that you care nothing about truth, once again you show that you are igorant on who KO is and what honesty is.
Again this is who Gibson is and how made up that story is Wow again here is who Gibson is here again is who Gibson is KO is not BB, thier is no such thing as bath tub boy that is something that was made up by John Gibson because KO was not allowed to call him worst person. Also anyone that uses that name shows that they have zero clue what being human is. John Gibson thought it was funny to make fun of Stewart’s pain on 911, he thought it was funny to make fun of Lugar’s suicude by his I could never quit you quto, UPDATE: John Gibson has “apologized” for his distasteful comments on Heath Ledger’s death. Though he first defended his statements on his radio show yesterday — there is “no point in passing up a good joke,” he said, and repeated his “Brokeback Mountain” joke saying, “I’m not giving that up” — he eventually caved to pressure to apologize and did so on his television show.
Still, his apology seemed forced, and relatively half-hearted:
Those who knew him say he was a good actor and a loving dad. And what happened to him was terrible, but was evidently an accident. Once again, to anyone offended by my comments, I’m sorry. But I’m also sorry that Heath Ledger is no longer alive and with us.
ThinkProgress has the audio of Gibson’s defense of his comments, and MediaMatters has the video of his “apology.”
–
ORIGINAL ITEM: Fox News’ John Gibson found a way to outdo MSNBC’s Courtney Hazlett for the most inappropriate comment on Heath Ledger’s death. ThinkProgress reports that, on his radio show yesterday (which opened with funeral music), Gibson called Ledger a “weirdo” with a “serious drug problem.” Making fun of the famous “I wish I knew how to quit you” line from “Brokeback Mountain,” Gibson said of his death, “Well, he found out how to quit you.”
This is not Gibson’s first time making inappropriate comments in the wake of tragedy. In July 2005, just one day before the 7/7 terrorist bombings in London, Gibson said that “the International Olympic Committee missed a golden opportunity….If they had picked France instead of London to hold the Olympics, it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn’t worry about terrorism. They’d blow up Paris, and who cares?” The next day, after the London bombings, Gibson.
Also only people that live in alterante universes think that this is Obama’s Monica lewsinsky. Excuse me, were was the cover up, were was Obama lying, wow were was Obama having a affair with a intern. You really show that you have no idea what you talk about.
Also I love how you put out a made up Special Comment that KO never gave. Showing that you do not know what pardoy is. This story has nothing to do with KO, so keep showing how igonrant you are on KO and that you have zero clue what make believe aka pardoy sketch and reality are.
KO is not BB that is a made up story and anyone that uses it shows that they have zero idea what being human is.
Wow once again you show that you not KO are the immature one, and do not say different because that would be a lie. Only people that are igorant about who KO is and what immature behavior like you would believe those made up talking points, that again are debunked like everything that you say, and again I am someone who would care crap if Ko was that, that is how I know that KO is opposite of immature and that those talking points describe you to a tee.
Keep showing that you do not know what being human means, only people in alternate unvierses would believe the made up lie by Gibson that get’s debunked.
Keep lying and showing how igorant you are about who KO is, sorry KO is no crybaby that is who you and Gibson are.
Wow BG the only person that thinks that a made debunked story by a person that loves to make fun of people’s pain and thinks that making fun of sucide is funny. Please keep showing how igorant you are about KO and that you have no idea what being human means. You really make me respect KO more and show why he this generations Murrow. Sorry that story and name have been debunked over and over again, keep showing how igorant you are when it comes to truth. Now get off the blog and let people talk baseball.
Keep showing how igorant you are on KO that is all you know how to do.
Wow keep showing that you love to support people that do not know what being human is

Go to we love to lie about KO’s job history.

Wow someone who is as insulting and does not know KO’s job history as you do
here is KO’s job history Sorry but he would not get fired from that also, again because you seem to think that bashing KO and being igorant about who he is, here is KO’s career KO has never been fired from ESPN and MSNBC that has been debunked over and over again. Once again OO you show that you are igorant on the difference between being fired and quiting, OO what part of you do not do last shows and get a salary if you get fired, here again is KO’s job history because you love to get this one wrong. Again OO that is a made up talking point by you and others that have zero clue about who KO is, let me explain, Paul again you seem to love to write the most stupidiest post that I have every heard of. So in our world because a company is small and claim that they are progressive that means that they can treat thier employees like they did with KO like crap and I should just be on thier side because they are suppose to have the same idology. That is beyond the most stupidest crap that I have heard of in me my life. First Paul you cannot refute like Current could not why KO got unjustily fried and abused here it is again I love KO and why his personality had zero to do with what happened at Current, that article even tells about Hyatt and AIDS aka firing someone with AIDS and you want me to believe KO’s the bad guy. Keep making me love and respect KO more and more and show that all you wnat to do is bash him and put up gossip articles that can easily get refuted, you also do not get what I do about KO is that he a professional and someone that is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in which is what mangement hates about him and why he has a hard time with them, it what people love, keep lying about KO that is all you know how to do, you keep showing why I am a fan and always will be. Jack you also show why KO got unjustily fired from Current you have no evidence that KO is unemployable, only a gossip site by mangement that for the first two aka MSNBC and Fox are hypocritical and includes Current, and one with someone who has just as bad a reputation as KO suppose to have, and who wants to still get on KO’s case about something that he apologized for showing that she has zero crediblity and sounds like it just a revenge post. KO keep being yourself again will be pissed if you do not get the justice for being unjusticly fired from Current. Jack why does KO been in this industry for 33 years if he so unemployable that is how BS your argument is. KO keep being yourself and showing off your great personality and showing why KO is this generations Murrow and why he will be around for years to come, keep being yourself KO and you will always have a fan in me, again Current needs to stop lying and tell people the truth that your personality and ego is not why you got fired and that you work fine with others, Hyatt needs to explain why he and Brohem thinks it okay to make thier broadcating stars to work with a throat infection, that jack shows that Current never cared about KO, just like MSNBC who wants to re-write history and is okay with people that speak at partisain events and other employers doanting but KO the bad guy, that he unbelieveable MSNBC is on that topic. All that shows jack is why I do not watch Current and MSNBC and how dishonest those mangements are. You really love to show that KO works fine with others. KO keep being yourself and you will always be perment on my wall, ipod and ipad and life and why you got unjustily fired from Current. jack you just make me love and respect KO more and more with your BS crap about who he is. Jack thier is no and you just showed once again there is no evidence that KO personality was what got him fired. Keep lying about KO and showing that KO has zero clue how to lie and that you Jack have zero clue how to tell the truth about KO and his past employment. KO love you faults and all. Here is KO true oo job history not your made up debunked version Mike thanks for showing me that you are beyond ingorant on KO’s job history. KO Mike was never fired from MSNBC or ESPN, also Mike KO was rehired by both of those companies, wow some bad personality there, Mike do you live in alternte reality, Mike you do not do last shows which KO did at both MSNBC and ESPN if you been fired. KO and even MSNBC have said that KO quit, he even got his salary that also Mike does not happen when you are fired. So no Mike he has no history of being fired by every employer that is pure BS and again has been debunked. He only be fired from Fox and that was for reporting the truth and Current and that was unjutily because they promised him the moon and never delivered. Also MIke he did not leave for the same reasons, you really hate listening to facts. ESPN he left because he and his bosses could not agree on a new contract, he wanted to go to New York, they wanted him to stay in Bristol, the reason he left the second time was that Patrick had quit ESPN and thier was nothing that he really did, so no ESPN had nothing to do with KO working well with others and personality and ego, so wrong there. MSNBC he left first time because he hated doing repaeted news of Monica Lewinsky, they sold him to Fox Sports, Fox is where he got blackmailed and fired for reporting the truth about Murdoch and the Dogers. So wrong there Mike, MSNBC a second time he left because a they scwered him over on campaign crap and he felt that they were taking creavity control away, again had nothing to do with personality and ego. So Mike you just again show how ingorant you are on KO. KO personlity again is not the reason he got fired at Current, again I care crap about that Mike, and I looked at the evidence thier is no proof Mike that KO broke the contract, none, zipo. Keep embarrassing yourself with made up debunked crap. I do not listen to people who are beyon igorant of KO’s job past espically ones that put out that debunked crap that KO was fired from MSNBC and ESPN. Mike I do not have to be a fan to tell you, people that are fired do not get rest of salary and last shows, KO got a salary from both the times that he worked at ESPN and MSNBC and did a last show that he thanked and said goodbye to people, that shows even to people that are not fans and people that unlike you know what commen sense is and uses it that KO was never fired from those networks. Mike sorry but you lie throught your teeth when you put out the debunked crap that KO’s ego and personality are bad they are not. Mike all you do is make me love and respect and show why he this generations Murrow. Sorry only got fired from Current and Fox, quit MSNBC and ESPN both times, that does not show that he hard to work with only that mangers have zero clue how to handle independent, prefetionist like him. I do not oo listen to people about KO who are so igorant when it comes to his work history, those people show that have no idea what facts are. OO you do not do last shows like KO did at MSNBC and ESPN if you were fired, you do not get a salary if you are fired, KO is this generations Murrow, you would not know what Murrow is. You oo are the one that is showing that you are Krusty the clown, you cannot refute anything that I say, so you decide instead to be the grammer and spelling police, people that are like that show that they are everything that they claim KO is. KO has worked in this industry for 33 years, that is the truth. OO I know that people that lie about KO’s career show that they are not to be listened to when it comes to KO, because they show that they do not know what facts are. OO you just showed that you do not have common sense. People that live in the real world not your fantasy world know oo that if someone does a last show and still gets a salary, that means OO that they quit and did not get fired. You show that you are beyond igorant when it comes to KO and you know that you are igorant when it comes to KO, but you are such a gutless coward that you only care about putting up debunked crap, like the lies about KO’s career than listen to the truth. You show with that post that KO is this genertions Murrow and you Oo are Krusty the clown and do not say different because I know like all your other posts that will be a lie and just show how igorant you are on KO. OO keep showing that KO can never lie and that you do not know what facts are and what truth is. OO KO only been fired from two places and they were by bad bosses, one that thinks like you telling the truth is bad aka Murdouch and one that wants to be lazy and not take responsibity for what happened at Current, that is it, the other places he quit out. There is no evidence but in your mind OO that KO was fired from MSNBC and ESPN. You do not even know what being fired is and what quiting is that is how made up your posts are.
OO quiting is when you do a last show and still get a salary like what happened at MSNBC and ESPN, getting fired is no salary and no last show that is what happened at FOX and Current, anyone with a brain that they like to use unlike you know that. You are so igorant on who KO is. YOu show again with this post why KO is this generations Murrow and show that you do not know what facts are. Keep lying about KO’s job history, the facts are and always will be and if you say different you would be lying and showing that you do not know what a fact looks like. KO quit ESPN in 1997 because of contract neogations falling apart, went to MSNBC quit MSNBC the first time because he wanted to do real news not just report on MOnica Lewnsky all the time, went to FOx got blackmailed by a guy that is know been in a scandal for hacking phones showing that he not to be trusted when it comes to honesty about anything, fired for telling the truth about Murdoch selling Dogers. Went to MSNBC, quit again because he did not like the hypocricracy that went on there and thought that he was loosing support and got a offer from Current. Than got unjustily fired and if you say different you be lying and showing how igorant you are on KO. There is no evidence that his personality is why he not there. This shows that he worked pretty steady in his career also
You again show why KO is this generations Murrow and why he will be around for years to come, you Oo are Krusty beacuse your post has no facts and truth in them. You even lie about KO’s career and put up stuff that has been debunked over and over again. Keep making me love and respect him and showing why I am a life long fan.
I do not listen to people on KO who put up that debunked crap about KO’s career because I know that people like you who say that, have no facts and are not wanting to argue facts all you want to do is show and if you say different than that will be a lie beacuse KO has quit MSNBC and ESPN both times. People like you show why we need KO and why KO is this and always will be this generations Murrow. KO keep being yourself and you will always be perment on my wall, ipod and ipad and life. Love you faults and all. So Paul keep putting out a debunked lie. KO has been working in broadcasting business for 33 years at different jobs. Wow I wonder if you worked that long, also KO is not a rich kid. He was raised in a upper middle class family, that is not what a rich child looks like. Paul I watch KO had his prefectly fine mentally, I guess in your world peoeple that tell the truth and show why they are this genrations Murrow are bad. Also Paul the reason why KO cannot drive if you would listen is That Scinece is called a head injury not brain damage, also KO does not have a personal limo driver, that story Science turned out not to be true, the person that was suppose to have drove KO and said this basically came out and said that he had never drove KO. So keep lying, also you claim to read KO on twitter, so please Science if KO has his own Limo driver why are the pictures like last night that he shows are him reading the subway, wow some driver, also him not being able to drive Science does not mean that he has brain damage, I guess you are going say that people that are visaul imparied are also brain damged because they cannot drive, you really are putting up BS posts and showing that you the unintellngent one, not me and not KO. KO had a head injury that is why he cannot drive, head injuries and brain damage are not the same, you can have damage with out hitting your head, and you can have a regualry head injury that has nothing to do with your brain. Keep showing that you the one that has zero inteillgence and that KO is the intelligent one. Love how you believe debunked stoires. Again keep showing how igorant you are on KO. YOu just love to show why he is this generations Murrow and why you have no idea and never will have a an idea about who he is. KO never broke the contract and Current was not able to pay the drivers, which make sense because they never seemed to pay the electrity bill because KO was in the dark or fix his set. Keep proving that KO cannot make crap up and that you cannot tell the truth. You really love to prove that KO is this generations Murrow and you love to embarrass yourself in showing how igorant you are on him.I guess in Paul fantasy world the only people that are fine mentally are people that can drive, wow Paul people have all sorts of reasons for not driving that does not mean they need to see a shirink or that they have metnal problems, it means that like KO they have a injury that pervents them from see right while driving. Also KO is not gay. So Paul explain to me, how do you know a person is gay, because straight people are so spouse to know how to drive, and have children and family by now. Wow Paul that is not remotely what gay and straight look like. KO has dated women before, he even dated igraham, also I do not listen to people when it comes to who show that they are homophobis like you are. This is the most stupidieset thing that I have read all week. KO fine mentally and always has been only people like Paul who do not know what honesty is and love to make stuff up about people’s private lifes says that. KO tells truth to power, and shows why he this generations Murrow and can never lie. Paul hates KO because he suppose to tell him how bad people that are gay are, and he suppose to let the people that Paul wants to critized to critized, Paul do yourself a favor and learn what mentally ill is. KO standing up to bosses like he did at Current and other places is shows that he cares more about vaules and morals than he does issues and do not put that debunked crap about Current because here is what happened there Again because you do not like hearing the truth here is what happened at Current Again you show that you do not listen to truth or facts, that is a made up talking point. again here is the evidence that you love to igonre that shows that KO was unjustily fired. I do not listen to people like you who keep putting made up crap. Current being a ragtime operations is a BS excuse. ragtime operations do not make people who are have a thorat infection that is serious in KO’s industry have work, that shows that they do not care about who they are hiring, they do not get rid of thier co-Ceo that knows what he doing, that is how made up that statement is here is again is the facts and what happenedWow you also seem to want to lie about KO’s career. KO was not fired from ESPN or MSNBC. I want you to explain to me why was KO able to a last show at ESPN, I did not realize Nick that people that were fired could do that. Nick what happened at ESPN is that they could not find a agreement when it came to reneogationating his contract. He wanted to be in New York, because he was single and cannot drive and had family there. ESPN wanted him to stay in Bristol, so they left on mutal agreement. At MSNBC the first time he quit because he did not want to talk other things beside Lewensky scandal. He was then traded to Fox, he got fired from Fox for reporting the truth about Murdouch selling the LA Dodgers. Which at Fox is not allowed. He was than hired back from MSNBC, and when he left in January of 2011 he was again allowed to do a last show and mangement even said that KO left on his own aka mutal agreement and he got paid the rest of his contract, that shows pacfically that KO was not fired from MSNBC just like ESPN. Also KO was rehired by ESPN to work with Dan Patrick before he left ESPN. Nick keep lying about KO’s career history.
Nick also I want you to explain when has a professional responsible business ever put out a letter that is a personal attack on the person that they letting go, so again explain Nick how this ego and KO’s fault. Also KO keeps his fans up to date on twitter about his abences and what is going on and when the subs are going to on and letting the subs like Press tweet when he going to be on. He also saying who on the show and his staff doing twitter saying who on when Shuster is on, while Current will not take responsible for thier mistakes like the tenichal problems which is business which in the couter-suit they claim is thier job. Nick why did Current want KO to do a commerical for a corporation and have a corporate sponser, when they advertised that they were corporate free, also giving corporation his website, wow trying to make KO a hypocrite to his audience and people like me who are fans, and love that he stands on principle. Why did Current leak the primary story to the press, and KO and his lawyer only confirm that lawyers that were involved that Current said were saying, Nick how is that sabtoging them, when they were putting out email and letters and putting out qutos about KO, and all KO does is defend them and confirm that lawyers involved, along with making KO go against his principles and make them go again what they stood for by being corporate free. Wow Nick that shows that Current is sabtoging themselves and unjustily fired KO.
Nick KO was unjustily fired and that is the truth and thier is nothing that going to change that. Also nick explain why when articles about KO come out he or his team aka lawyer and manger always quoted, but with Current it sources, and that Hollywood story says sources and they say that KO was the one responsible why not deny when KO said they had told him it was his manger. Who is it the manger or KO. and they cannot deny that they blackmaiel and threaten to fire staff, all showing that they not KO realeased the salary. They also never reprimended KO for saying that he was on a preplanned vacation to fans on twitter, showing that they had approved it. So again I would be pissed if KO does not get the justice he deserved for being unjustily fired.
Nick keep making me love KO and respecting him more and more and showing why KO will be aroud for year to come. KO keep being yourself and showing why you are this generations Murrow and you will always have a fan in me. Lov eyou faults and all. Again Hyatt is someone that fired some with AIDS and you take what he says seriously. Dude I researched this over and over again and nothing shows that KO personality is why he not at Current. Keep showing how igorant you are on KO. KO again keep being yourself and sorry that you got unjustily fired at Current. OO loves to show why you are this generations Murrow and that OO loves to put out debut, Paul KO quit ESPN because of a contract disagreement, he did a last show and got a salary, Paul people that get fired do not get to do a last show and say goodbye or get there salary, he was hired back and ended up quiting again. He quit MSNBC first beacuse he wanted to do something other than Lewnisky and MSNBC did not, so he left or said he was sold to Fox sports, was blackmailed at Fox and reported on a true story about Murdouch selling the Dogers and was than fired, wow I did not know that telling the truth and being fired for it and being blackmailed there showed that KO had mental problems, oh that is right is shows that KO is mentally and has always been mentally sound. He went to MSNBC a second time and was there for eight years, he was at ESPN first time for five. Wow expect for Current, KO has even been steady working at the same job for a while with five at ESPN and eight at MSNBC, wow that again shows that Paul would not know what a mental illness is if it bit Paul on the head, he quit because MSNBC mangement is beyond hypocritical with the fact that they do not mind aka Geogary and SHultz people being speakers at fundraisers and Scrabough who only got caught a punished when he donated when KO was unustily punished for it. So MSNBC has a dishonest mangement team, they even do not want to see and keep acknowledging that KO was the one that brought them the success that they have. So wow I did not realize again like Fox mangement aka MSNBC dishonesty mangement was showing that people had mental problems, or that is right it does not. Paul also I have been on twitter, you think that trolls that love to bully and name call people should be allowed to say whatever they want and not get called out. Wow you again show that Paul thinks that name calling and lying about people’s careers and saying made up crap, shows that Paul hates facts. Paul those are the people that KO calls out that shows someone that loves to tell the truth and expose real bullying. This is not what mentally ilness looks. Also he talks politcs and baseball and puts out sunsets and answers questions. Paul I want you to explain how is that mental ilenss. Oh that is right it does not because Paul has no idea what a mental ill person looks like. Also Current KO was dealing with imcomptent mangement, which say that they handled the business part of things but did not want to fix set problems only wanted to complain about them and put blame on others, the one owner Hyatt fired someone with AIDS at his other business and was sued, and while at Current, got rid for no reason at all his co-ceo who knew the business, knew how to handle egos and yes KO has a big ego everyone in his business does, but ego is not why he not at Current, he’s is just right for someone in his industry. So that shows that I should not believe Hyatt when he says anything. His president Broham should know that when someone has a thorat infection aka a broadcaster, you do not try to make them work, espically when they are about to do Super Tuesday, the night before Super Tuesday is not important compared to your broadcaster vocal health. The fact that Brohem did this shows that he cared crap about KO and would have rathered worked him until he vocal chorads were so damaged they prevented KO from every working again even at Current. I was beyond pissed when I read that email. Paul I do not have to be a fan to know that KO is mentally sound, I also know that he is not a and never was a rich kid, yes he went to Hackly but going to a prep school or even a private school Paul does not make a person rich. Also going to Ivy League school like Cornell is also not mean that you are a rich child. Also calling out trolls Paul and putting up cool sunset and sundown photos and tweeting baseball and politics and interacting with people, shows that you are mentally stable, having worked in the brodacasting business and worked steadily in it, shows that you are mentally stable. Driving Paul has nothing to do with mental health. Again Paul I do not listen to people that think it okay to make fun of people that are gay when it comes to mental health. You show Paul and do not say different that KO’s mentally and always been mentally fine, you show that Paul loves to show how much of a homophobe that he is, and that KO unlike Paul knows more about tolerance. Paul wants to show that he igorant about who KO is and what his career and job history are. Paul you show why KO is this generations Murrow and make me love and respect him more with this made up BS piece. I know that anyone putting this out shows that they have no idea who KO is and that they would rather make fun of the mentally ill which is pahtic than listen to the truth. KO keep being yourself and you will always be perment on my wall, ipod, ipad and life. Love how you show Paul what tolerance and what mental stableness is. Also how you have no idea how to be mentally ill or how to be homophobe. Wow keep embarrassing yourself Paul with BS posts like this that shows that Paul does not live in the real world and loves to make lies up about people along with showing what a homophobe he is. KO sorry you got unjustily fired at Current, I will differently be pissed if you do not get the justice that you deserve for being unjustily fired there. Again you are the only one that will get me to watch news again. Love you faults and all. also exlpain why Carr says he can work again Paul. Again Paul people have said this about KO since he left ESPN. This Paul has been debunked over and over again. So sorry Current claiming to be progressive does not show Paul that KO can never work again. This shows that you do not get that bad mangement can happen anywhere. Also Paul Current is not progressive, and do not put out the hosts. They think that it okay to lie to viewers about who they are, they say they are corporate independent but than they go and try to get KO to go against his principles and do a commerical for AT&T. This Paul is not what progessives are about. Cenk Paul keeps critizing Obama so wow they are not Obamabots. KO Paul has critized this president. So the fact that you say that shows that you know that KO can easily get a job in broadcasting but you do not want to admit it. Again you show that you are beyond igorant about who KO is. Paul I laugh at people like you who put up that BS lie and try to make it true. Sorry Paul KO can work again if he wants to in his idustry. Keep showing me why KO is this genrations Murrow and that you are beyonf igorant about who KO is.
Oo the he burnt his last bridge has been debunked over and over again, you are showing how igorant your are on KO when you put out that debunk lie. Here is what Patrick said about this, Also Dan Patrick who been a friend of KO since they worked together at ESPN. would be laughing at you when you say KO is unemployable. KO quit MSNBC in 1999 and than was rehired in 2003, he quit ESPN in 1996 and was rehired in I think 2004 because he was regulary with Patrick before he left that is how made up the burnt his last bridges is. Keep lying about what I am, you just make laugh with how dishonest you are when it comes to fans. First you think when I defend KO I and other fans are in a cult and because I call you out again on that lie, you think it obession. I on a KO blog where he writes, that is not a obession. Also if you hate KO so much why are you on a site that writes, I think the truth is you are obessed with lying about KO and making up crap about his past. You already lied about his employment. I know that it will take awhile but just like Carr of the times and Patrick he will be back. Always is, said he would not be and than came the bad deal with CUrrrent. So keep lying about who I am and who KO is. I only and only evey be a fan and as a fan I not afraid to defend the person that I am a fan of. Being a fan is not a obession. Keep lying about me and KO. YOu again just make me love and respect him more. I go by the people that know KO personally like Dan Patrick when it comes to when KO going to back and employment not trolls who cannot get that KO was only fired from two places. and has worked in the same career for 33 years and counting. Again if KO is so toxic why do channels hire him back, that is what I keep telling you up top that is why I laugh when people like you say that, because it always needs up as a lie. It sometimes takes a while but if he wants to a network will take the risk. Again why is that Dan patrick who a friend of KO and worked with him at ESPN says that he would come back to a network, Carr who article was mostly negtive says that network will easily hire him after a certain amount of time and he in the industry. So keep living in your fantasy world on that one. That always turns out to be a lie. So I do not take your garantuee because I know that anyone that says that shows that they do not know who KO is and even how popular he is with people, even to fans that get angry at him when it came to Current want him back on the air somewhere. So sorry but I do not listen to people that say that a network can never hire him and never will because I know from looking at the pattern of his career and the success that he brings aka ESPN and MSNBC, which shows the track record of building channels showing that he already secrued his place in history when it comes to television, shows why networks take the chance on him. Sorry but you show that you do not want to listen to truth, again only insult. Keep making me love and respect KO more and more. Wow even Carr who would agree with you about KO and his bosses says that KO can come back. Wow OO that is how BS that lie is. OO the truth is KO can work anywhere if he wants, so if does not come back that is because he does not want to work. If does come back which probably happen it because he wants to work, and also again like what happened the when he was unjustily fired at Fox, it took a while before he went back and second time, Sorry but KO has burnt nothing that is made up BS and again shows that OO is ingorant on KO’s job history, keep showing that you have zero clue who KO is. Sorry but KO can work again, keep embarrassing yourself with your igorance on who KO is. Sorry but KO did break the contract and was nothing that Current said that he was, and I am someone that cares crap about his personality and how he gets along behind the scences. There is no proof RB that KO broke that contract.
Current came out with something that you have never heard of a attack letter, because they knew that they are everything that they claim KO is and that they broke the contract.
Keep shoiwng how igorant you are on KO and what his career is and do not say different because that would be a lie. Keep showing why KO is nothing that you and Current says he is and that you are everything that you want KO to be.
ALso that takes to web page not the article. Keep making me more of a fan.
Get off the blog and let people talk baseball. All this shows is how igonrat you are about who KO is and always will be.
Sorry but KO was never fired from MSNBC or ESPN, he left but you do not know what fired is and what quiting is, when you do a last show that means and when you get money after you leave that means By that you have quit, go to the we igorant about KO’s career blogs and let people talk baseball. KO only been fired from Fox and unjustily fired from Current that is it, all rest are made talking points by people that you who hate facts and truth and do not say different because that would be another lie out of your mouth. Sorry but KO was only fired two times the rest has zero truth, and once again show that By has no idea who KO is and never will.
Also this person shows that they are igorant abotu KO when it comes to his professional and personal relationship’s he and Dan Patrick are still friends Some view them as prima donnas. Some marvel at how they can’t get over grudges against ESPN. Some consider them immensely talented and transformative figures in sports media.

There was evidence of all that Thursday as Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann reunited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the debut of “The Big Show.” That’s what Patrick and Olbermann called the late-night “SportsCenter” they hosted for a large chunk of 1992 till 1997. They built up a large following with their way of taking viewers wryly through highlights. And they were happy to do the unheard of: poke fun at star athletes, and even their ESPN bosses.

But in a wide-ranging discussion at New York’s Paley Center, their yarns and recollections — some hilarious, some poignant — about their days together in Bristol weren’t the most interesting part.

It was their personalities together. Who were these guys? Except for a brief moment, Olbermann hardly seemed like the tempestuous guy who just got canned from Current TV and filed a blistering lawsuit against the network. And Patrick seemed as devoid of ego as an eighth grader unable to get a date.

Being around each other seemingly transforms them. They’re like brothers with genuine love for each other.

Olbermann is the more outgoing older one, the valedictorian, the star athlete, the one everyone can’t get enough of. Yet, he still looks to his younger brother for affirmation. Without that approval, it doesn’t matter how many fans he has.

Patrick has so much respect for his older brother, he’s happy to defer to him, willing to hand over the stage. He’s more secure and fine with playing second fiddle because he has confidence in himself.

(In reality, Patrick is slightly older than Olbermann.)

The wonderful chemistry they shared on air clearly wasn’t just for the cameras. As they brought entertainment into sportscasts with their sarcasm and repartee, Olbermann said they were “two kids having fun, trying to make the other one laugh.”

Now, 15 years after the “SportsCenter” tag team ended, they can’t say enough good things about each other. On Thursday, Patrick said when asked by people about working for Olbermann with his penchant for angering management and colleagues, he would tell them: “He’s the best teammate I ever had. And they were always shocked at that.”

Patrick offered some melodrama, albeit telling and heartfelt. You find out what someone is really like in “battle” and Olbermann is who you want to be in a foxhole with, he said.

“On the air, we (had) each other’s backs,” said Olbermann.

“I trusted him and I knew he trusted me,” said Patrick.

Evidence of their teamwork came one memorable night when Patrick’s microphone wasn’t working. As if it were planned, Olbermann reached over and attached his mike to Patrick’s lapel. When Patrick was done with his highlights, Olbermann wryly waved for it back.

A glitch became a stitch.

The two had such affection for one another, they would — get this — share. Imagine that at ESPN. The catchphrases “SportsCenter” anchors establish in pop culture are personal and valuable.

One day reading the wires, Patrick came across an intriguing name of a NASCAR driver: Dick Trickle. “I went, that’s my kind of race car driver,” he said.

Going forward, when mentioning NASCAR races, he’d cite the winner and always mention how Trickle did. On the night of the 1996 Daytona 500, Patrick may have said: “Dale Jarrett captured the checkered flag. Dick Trickle finished 43rd.”

It became a hit. But Patrick gave Olbermann permission to use it. Both agreed NASCAR results could not be reported without Trickle’s performance.

Unintentionally, Olbermann helped make Patrick a movie star. Olbermann turned down a role in Adam Sandler’s “Happy Gilmore.” Patrick later saw Sandler at an NBA game and volunteered. He’s now a regular in Sandler productions.

When Olbermann briefly moved to ESPN2 and “The Big Show” was split up, Patrick was distraught and had a difficult time warming to replacements. “I went through a funk,” he said. He thought Olbermann was “abandoning ship (and) management wanted to do this.”

Patrick said there were two defining moments at ESPN where his appreciation for Olbermann was secured. One was the failed microphone incident. The other was more serious and well-chronicled in the recently published ESPN oral history.

There are different sides to the story. But Olbermann and Patrick maintain management was not happy that they carved out their own identity by branding their version of “SportsCenter” as “The Big Show.”

(The origin was Olbermann joining ESPN from a local station in Los Angeles. His sports reports there were four minutes. He was now part of an hour-long show. During one commercial break, the worn-out Olbermann turned to Patrick and said it was a “big f*ck*ng show.”)

ESPN executives called the two into a meeting and railed against them, wanting the “SportsCenter” brand to take precedence. Olbermann pushed back.

Patrick was scared he wouldn’t have a job. He had kids. But as they walked out, Olbermann said: “F*ck ‘em.” Since then, irreverence hasn’t always worked for Olbermann at places like Fox, MSNBC and Current. Yet, somehow Patrick was comforted by his take.

Both Olbermann and Patrick say they were sort of in a cocoon in ESPN’s Connecticut studios. So, it took some time for them to realize how popular their show had become.

Their departures from ESPN have been the subject of some fascination. Olbermann was not happy in rural Connecticut, but says he was nonetheless emotional about leaving. So much so, he proposed to ESPN executive Howard Katz that they work out an arrangement where, for minimal pay, he would still do “The Big Show” on Sundays. No go. (Olbermann said his departure was actually amiable, but matters got worse in the wake of it.)

Patrick left years later after 18 at ESPN. He felt he had given his all to the company and it wasn’t “reciprocated.”

He’s long wanted a call from ESPN just saying “we handled this poorly” — but says, “I won’t get that call.” Part of him, though, hopes it doesn’t come because he competes against the channel with his popular radio show simulcast on TV and work at NBC.

Olbermann, for his part, is unemployed at the moment. A fitting metaphor: he showed up Thursday in a sweater, jeans and glowing Nikes after attending a baseball game. Patrick wore a suit.

As the revealing evening wrapped, there was a disappointing you-can-never-go-home-again backdrop. The likelihood of the two joining up on another ventire seems slim. They did for a while at NBC Sports. And, there were conversations about pairing up at the MLB Network, but any future gambit will never equal the appointment viewing of “The Big Show.”

“I’ll work with him anytime, anywhere,” Olbermann said of Patrick.

His track record indicates he wouldn’t say that about anyone else. But that’s the kind of loyalty and good feeling true brothers have for each other.

Also he a Katy Tur are still friends Thanks to a breaking story and sheer chance, Keith Olbermann wound up interviewing his ex-girlfriend on Wednesday’s “Countdown.”

That evening, the biggest story in the news concerned Michael Enright, the man who stabbed a cabdriver because he was Muslim. It turned out that Katy Tur, who is a reporter for WNBC in New York, had been in close contact with Enright for weeks. She had spoken to him five times and traded emails with him, all about a documentary that he had made about soldiers in Afghanistan.

Tur had also dated Olbermann, although Mediaite reports that the pair split over a year ago.

“The first time I spoke to this guy, I was struck by how incredibly polite he was,” Tur told Olbermann. “He was ‘yes, ma’am,’ ‘no, ma’am,’ very polite on the phone.”

Olbermann closed the interview by calling Tur his “dear friend.”
Wow so this person is igorant as you are about who KO is, also that name again is made up Go to we love to lie about KO’s career club, also here is who Gibson is and why people that live in real world know that name is made up Video ››› June 9, 2009 10:01 PM EDT ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
So I would not listen to anything he had to say about anything. You once again show how igorant you are and that you hate listening to truth and being debunked so you post stuff from people that agree with you and just like can easily be debunked and show that they are the ones that doing the ad homein attacks and that they are showing to support people that KO and someone on the street is smart than both Gisbon and Levin. SOrry but that just shows how made up that BB story is and that you care nothing about truth, once again you show that you are igorant on who KO is and what honesty is.
Again this is who Gibson is and how made up that story is Wow again here is who Gibson is here again is who Gibson is KO is not BB, thier is no such thing as bath tub boy that is something that was made up by John Gibson because KO was not allowed to call him worst person. Also anyone that uses that name shows that they have zero clue what being human is. John Gibson thought it was funny to make fun of Stewart’s pain on 911, he thought it was funny to make fun of Lugar’s suicude by his I could never quit you quto, UPDATE: John Gibson has “apologized” for his distasteful comments on Heath Ledger’s death. Though he first defended his statements on his radio show yesterday — there is “no point in passing up a good joke,” he said, and repeated his “Brokeback Mountain” joke saying, “I’m not giving that up” — he eventually caved to pressure to apologize and did so on his television show.
Still, his apology seemed forced, and relatively half-hearted:
Those who knew him say he was a good actor and a loving dad. And what happened to him was terrible, but was evidently an accident. Once again, to anyone offended by my comments, I’m sorry. But I’m also sorry that Heath Ledger is no longer alive and with us.
ThinkProgress has the audio of Gibson’s defense of his comments, and MediaMatters has the video of his “apology.”
–
ORIGINAL ITEM: Fox News’ John Gibson found a way to outdo MSNBC’s Courtney Hazlett for the most inappropriate comment on Heath Ledger’s death. ThinkProgress reports that, on his radio show yesterday (which opened with funeral music), Gibson called Ledger a “weirdo” with a “serious drug problem.” Making fun of the famous “I wish I knew how to quit you” line from “Brokeback Mountain,” Gibson said of his death, “Well, he found out how to quit you.”
This is not Gibson’s first time making inappropriate comments in the wake of tragedy. In July 2005, just one day before the 7/7 terrorist bombings in London, Gibson said that “the International Olympic Committee missed a golden opportunity….If they had picked France instead of London to hold the Olympics, it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn’t worry about terrorism. They’d blow up Paris, and who cares?” The next day, after the London bombings, Gibson.
Also only people that live in alterante universes think that this is Obama’s Monica lewsinsky. Excuse me, were was the cover up, were was Obama lying, wow were was Obama having a affair with a intern. You really show that you have no idea what you talk about.
Also I love how you put out a made up Special Comment that KO never gave. Showing that you do not know what pardoy is. This story has nothing to do with KO, so keep showing how igonrant you are on KO and that you have zero clue what make believe aka pardoy sketch and reality are.
KO is not BB that is a made up story and anyone that uses it shows that they have zero idea what being human is.
Wow once again you show that you not KO are the immature one, and do not say different because that would be a lie. Only people that are igorant about who KO is and what immature behavior like you would believe those made up talking points, that again are debunked like everything that you say, and again I am someone who would care crap if Ko was that, that is how I know that KO is opposite of immature and that those talking points describe you to a tee.
Keep showing that you do not know what being human means, only people in alternate unvierses would believe the made up lie by Gibson that get’s debunked.
Keep lying and showing how igorant you are about who KO is, sorry KO is no crybaby that is who you and Gibson are.
Wow BG the only person that thinks that a made debunked story by a person that loves to make fun of people’s pain and thinks that making fun of sucide is funny. Please keep showing how igorant you are about KO and that you have no idea what being human means. You really make me respect KO more and show why he this generations Murrow. Sorry that story and name have been debunked over and over again, keep showing how igorant you are when it comes to truth. Now get off the blog and let people talk baseball.
Keep showing how igorant you are on KO that is all you know how to do.
Wow keep showing that you love to support people that do not know what being human is
You love to post people that have no idea who KO is just like you do not, go back and let people talk baseball.

Wow
Some like you D who has no idea what KO’s job history is here gain is KO’s job history Wow someone who is as insulting and does not know KO’s job history as you do
here is KO’s job history Sorry but he would not get fired from that also, again because you seem to think that bashing KO and being igorant about who he is, here is KO’s career KO has never been fired from ESPN and MSNBC that has been debunked over and over again. Once again OO you show that you are igorant on the difference between being fired and quiting, OO what part of you do not do last shows and get a salary if you get fired, here again is KO’s job history because you love to get this one wrong. Again OO that is a made up talking point by you and others that have zero clue about who KO is, let me explain, Paul again you seem to love to write the most stupidiest post that I have every heard of. So in our world because a company is small and claim that they are progressive that means that they can treat thier employees like they did with KO like crap and I should just be on thier side because they are suppose to have the same idology. That is beyond the most stupidest crap that I have heard of in me my life. First Paul you cannot refute like Current could not why KO got unjustily fried and abused here it is again I love KO and why his personality had zero to do with what happened at Current, that article even tells about Hyatt and AIDS aka firing someone with AIDS and you want me to believe KO’s the bad guy. Keep making me love and respect KO more and more and show that all you wnat to do is bash him and put up gossip articles that can easily get refuted, you also do not get what I do about KO is that he a professional and someone that is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in which is what mangement hates about him and why he has a hard time with them, it what people love, keep lying about KO that is all you know how to do, you keep showing why I am a fan and always will be. Jack you also show why KO got unjustily fired from Current you have no evidence that KO is unemployable, only a gossip site by mangement that for the first two aka MSNBC and Fox are hypocritical and includes Current, and one with someone who has just as bad a reputation as KO suppose to have, and who wants to still get on KO’s case about something that he apologized for showing that she has zero crediblity and sounds like it just a revenge post. KO keep being yourself again will be pissed if you do not get the justice for being unjusticly fired from Current. Jack why does KO been in this industry for 33 years if he so unemployable that is how BS your argument is. KO keep being yourself and showing off your great personality and showing why KO is this generations Murrow and why he will be around for years to come, keep being yourself KO and you will always have a fan in me, again Current needs to stop lying and tell people the truth that your personality and ego is not why you got fired and that you work fine with others, Hyatt needs to explain why he and Brohem thinks it okay to make thier broadcating stars to work with a throat infection, that jack shows that Current never cared about KO, just like MSNBC who wants to re-write history and is okay with people that speak at partisain events and other employers doanting but KO the bad guy, that he unbelieveable MSNBC is on that topic. All that shows jack is why I do not watch Current and MSNBC and how dishonest those mangements are. You really love to show that KO works fine with others. KO keep being yourself and you will always be perment on my wall, ipod and ipad and life and why you got unjustily fired from Current. jack you just make me love and respect KO more and more with your BS crap about who he is. Jack thier is no and you just showed once again there is no evidence that KO personality was what got him fired. Keep lying about KO and showing that KO has zero clue how to lie and that you Jack have zero clue how to tell the truth about KO and his past employment. KO love you faults and all. Here is KO true oo job history not your made up debunked version Mike thanks for showing me that you are beyond ingorant on KO’s job history. KO Mike was never fired from MSNBC or ESPN, also Mike KO was rehired by both of those companies, wow some bad personality there, Mike do you live in alternte reality, Mike you do not do last shows which KO did at both MSNBC and ESPN if you been fired. KO and even MSNBC have said that KO quit, he even got his salary that also Mike does not happen when you are fired. So no Mike he has no history of being fired by every employer that is pure BS and again has been debunked. He only be fired from Fox and that was for reporting the truth and Current and that was unjutily because they promised him the moon and never delivered. Also MIke he did not leave for the same reasons, you really hate listening to facts. ESPN he left because he and his bosses could not agree on a new contract, he wanted to go to New York, they wanted him to stay in Bristol, the reason he left the second time was that Patrick had quit ESPN and thier was nothing that he really did, so no ESPN had nothing to do with KO working well with others and personality and ego, so wrong there. MSNBC he left first time because he hated doing repaeted news of Monica Lewinsky, they sold him to Fox Sports, Fox is where he got blackmailed and fired for reporting the truth about Murdoch and the Dogers. So wrong there Mike, MSNBC a second time he left because a they scwered him over on campaign crap and he felt that they were taking creavity control away, again had nothing to do with personality and ego. So Mike you just again show how ingorant you are on KO. KO personlity again is not the reason he got fired at Current, again I care crap about that Mike, and I looked at the evidence thier is no proof Mike that KO broke the contract, none, zipo. Keep embarrassing yourself with made up debunked crap. I do not listen to people who are beyon igorant of KO’s job past espically ones that put out that debunked crap that KO was fired from MSNBC and ESPN. Mike I do not have to be a fan to tell you, people that are fired do not get rest of salary and last shows, KO got a salary from both the times that he worked at ESPN and MSNBC and did a last show that he thanked and said goodbye to people, that shows even to people that are not fans and people that unlike you know what commen sense is and uses it that KO was never fired from those networks. Mike sorry but you lie throught your teeth when you put out the debunked crap that KO’s ego and personality are bad they are not. Mike all you do is make me love and respect and show why he this generations Murrow. Sorry only got fired from Current and Fox, quit MSNBC and ESPN both times, that does not show that he hard to work with only that mangers have zero clue how to handle independent, prefetionist like him. I do not oo listen to people about KO who are so igorant when it comes to his work history, those people show that have no idea what facts are. OO you do not do last shows like KO did at MSNBC and ESPN if you were fired, you do not get a salary if you are fired, KO is this generations Murrow, you would not know what Murrow is. You oo are the one that is showing that you are Krusty the clown, you cannot refute anything that I say, so you decide instead to be the grammer and spelling police, people that are like that show that they are everything that they claim KO is. KO has worked in this industry for 33 years, that is the truth. OO I know that people that lie about KO’s career show that they are not to be listened to when it comes to KO, because they show that they do not know what facts are. OO you just showed that you do not have common sense. People that live in the real world not your fantasy world know oo that if someone does a last show and still gets a salary, that means OO that they quit and did not get fired. You show that you are beyond igorant when it comes to KO and you know that you are igorant when it comes to KO, but you are such a gutless coward that you only care about putting up debunked crap, like the lies about KO’s career than listen to the truth. You show with that post that KO is this genertions Murrow and you Oo are Krusty the clown and do not say different because I know like all your other posts that will be a lie and just show how igorant you are on KO. OO keep showing that KO can never lie and that you do not know what facts are and what truth is. OO KO only been fired from two places and they were by bad bosses, one that thinks like you telling the truth is bad aka Murdouch and one that wants to be lazy and not take responsibity for what happened at Current, that is it, the other places he quit out. There is no evidence but in your mind OO that KO was fired from MSNBC and ESPN. You do not even know what being fired is and what quiting is that is how made up your posts are.
OO quiting is when you do a last show and still get a salary like what happened at MSNBC and ESPN, getting fired is no salary and no last show that is what happened at FOX and Current, anyone with a brain that they like to use unlike you know that. You are so igorant on who KO is. YOu show again with this post why KO is this generations Murrow and show that you do not know what facts are. Keep lying about KO’s job history, the facts are and always will be and if you say different you would be lying and showing that you do not know what a fact looks like. KO quit ESPN in 1997 because of contract neogations falling apart, went to MSNBC quit MSNBC the first time because he wanted to do real news not just report on MOnica Lewnsky all the time, went to FOx got blackmailed by a guy that is know been in a scandal for hacking phones showing that he not to be trusted when it comes to honesty about anything, fired for telling the truth about Murdoch selling Dogers. Went to MSNBC, quit again because he did not like the hypocricracy that went on there and thought that he was loosing support and got a offer from Current. Than got unjustily fired and if you say different you be lying and showing how igorant you are on KO. There is no evidence that his personality is why he not there. This shows that he worked pretty steady in his career also
You show that you would like this person not know who KO is if he walked up to you and say hello. Go to we love to bash KO and his career blogs and let people talk baseball.
