Olbermann Ties FOX News to Anti-Pelosi Threats.

On Thursday’s Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann tied Fox News to the recent threats against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as he quoted the mother of the accused, Greg Giusti. The MSNBC host teased the segment at the top of his Countdown show, "The mother of the man accused of threatening Nancy Pelosi says he was driven to it in part by Fox News," and later opened the segment: "The man arrested yesterday on charges of threatening House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about passage of health care reform got his ideas from Fox News. We know this because in our fourth story tonight: the defendant`s mother says so." ["We know this because his mother says so." That's about as credible as quoting a balloon vendor. It's like a pattern with these people.]

 Soon an audio clip of Giusti's mother, Eleanor Giusti, was played:

Greg has frequently gets in with a group of people that have really radical ideas, and that are not consistent with myself or his, the rest of the family, and which gets him into problems. And apparently, I would say, this must be another one that somehow he`s gotten on to, either by, I say, Fox News, or all of those that are really radical, and he, that`s where he comes from. [Translation, please. I mean is this supposed to be the best source you can find? How about quoting someone who doesn't speak like they've just experienced a traumatic brain injury?]

It's ALWAYS someone else's fault with the libs. They couldn't take responsibility even if an evil rich person was holding responsibility in his outstretched hands.

Libs love to bash Fox news. Only conservatives have media comtrol they like to wail. Just suffered through "Astro Boy" this weekend at a family dinner. Talk about left wing propaganda: what do evil conservatives, the environment and faintly veiled Obama praise have to do with Astro Boy saving the world? The Nazi Ministry of Propaganda is alive and well. Bad mouth media like Fox which exposes (sometimes) your hypocrisy, and sneak your slants into kid cartoons. No wonder a generation brought up by "Captain Planet" believes so readily in Globull Warming and yearns to be taxed to fight such evil.
