Not like it was any mystery, but still pretty funny.

Hmm. For a guy who continuously ranted and raved about FOX News being slanted it is somewhat ironic that the website of his very own parent company admits that his show was "liberal commentary".

Quote:

His "Countdown" show, which airs at 8 p.m. ET, is MSNBC's most popular program. His on-the-air transformation from the host of a straight news program to a liberal commentator led the network itself to go in the same direction, filling its prime-time lineup with left-leaning hosts and doing better in the ratings than anytime since its 1996 launch.

Olberman (douche Nozzle that he is) never claimed he wasn't liberal...
Unlike Hannity and O'Reilly who both insisted in their early careers that they were indeed neutral
If there is a human being on planet earth left standing that does not understand that FOX is Right and MSNBC is Left I'd like to meet that person...

:dunce:

All I'm saying is that it just always seemed a little disingenuous for someone like Olbermann to rail about FOX News being slanted.
