Notable Quotes:
You cannot put a professional liar on television and never say you are not telling the truth. Factchecking is the essential element of Journalism.
As video electronic communications surpassed newspapers 50 years ago, we had predictions that journalism would drop out of Journalism. I think we have seen the low point of that.
Damn you to Hell Jake Tapper damn you to Hell Dana Bash damn you to Hell CNN. You blew your job tonight may you never get the opportunity to do it again.

KO: Somewhere along the line it was prophesied, and many of us
heard it 40 years ago 50 years ago, that eventually as television and other
video electronic communications completely surpassed the newspaper
organizations with their rigid standards and their extraordinarily competitive
relationships with one another- as that happened as deadlines got tighter as
the news cycle dropped

From well we're going to publish this story at 11 o'clock
six hours from now to we're going to publish this story as soon as you finish
typing it, the predictions were were made that so much of the journalism would
drop out of Journalism. I think we have seen the low point of that. I began to
worry about this and to talk about it on my first MSNBC show in 1998, when
because the ratings were good-
1:04:45
The networks the news organizations of this country were
willing to let a special prosecutor named Kenneth Starr do something as illegal
as making public the secret videotaped grand jury testimony of the sitting
president of the United States. That was what sent me fleeing back into sports
because I didn't want to have anything more to do with it. Every time I brought
it up, and every time I brought up the principal role of organizations like Fox
News and Breitbart and the others of that time- every time I criticized the people who appeared on-
1:05:20
those networks or on those websites, I was accused of
trying to be the left-wing version of fill in the blank. I was accused of doing
this for the ratings. This is why I did it. Tonight is why I did it, in hopes
of staving off the Fiasco that we saw tonight. You cannot put a man whose

job in the world at the most important moment in the history of the world, for
at least the last 80 years.

You cannot put a professional liar on television and never
say you are not telling the truth. Factchecking is the essential element of
Journalism. It's where you begin. Is it raining or is it not raining? All you
have to do Jake Tapper all you have to do Dana bash is walk over to the window
and get us an answer. Or if you can't get us the answer
1:06:20
If your IFB cord is not long enough, if you're not wearing
a mobile mic, if you can't get over there, at least ask the guy who just said
not only is it raining but it's raining up from the ground- you have to ask him
why he has said this, what is his evidence. You have to fact check him, CNN
failed. They should go out of business tomorrow. We'll be back with a new
edition of the podcast on Tuesday thank you for being with us I'm sorry the results
were not better, I think I am repeating myself at this point.
1:06:54
But damn you to Hell Jake Tapper damn you to Hell Dana Bash
bash damn you to Hell CNN. You blew your job tonight may you never get the
opportunity to do it again. I'm Keith Olbermann thanks for being with us good night
and good luck
