Keith Olbermann's Ego, EPs, Blind Items, and Blogs.

So about a month ago, this idiot at Inside Cable News decides he'll run a not-so-blind item.
Which cable news show may be showing signs of internal trouble? Rumors are flying that the show’s EP has “had it” and another key staffer is leaving the program…
The Ego would like to point out that the denizens of said blog mostly guessed Beck.

But today the little bitch reveals on twitter that it was the Ego he was referring to all along and hints broadly that there is a real story there if one wishes to dig deep enough. Attn: Mr. ICN: it's 2010--no one does investigative journalism anymore, it's dead, dead, dead and if it's such a good story why don't you break it your own damn self? Oh and here's what the SOB is citing as "proof" that blind item was about the Ego. So the Ego's EP, Izzy Povich is leaving. Like the Ego cares?

And of course Dan Abrams and his shitty little site are there to blame the Ego too.

Remember Keith Olbermann Fans: These bitches are all just jealous of the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. They aren't Kings of Broadcast Journalism like Keith Olbermann, they are a bunch of mice who run blogs. Jealous, bitter, little mice. Never, ever believe anything that these idiots have to say about the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego--unless of course it happens to be true. And if it's true and flattering, believe away but if it's true and not-so-flattering, it's always lies-got it? Good. Nothing to see here, move on people; the Ego has.

Oh and that crap on TVNewser about more than one person leaving the Ego's show because of the Ego? Lies, all lies. Except you know, the parts that are true.

And no, this had nothing to do with the Ego's two-week vacation (and even if it did, the Ego would never, ever admit it). Remember people, there is a reason all three of those websites are on the Ego's enemies list.

But do the mice wear elastic-waist band jeans too?

Now he's in a bitch-fight with the guy from Mediaite at Twitter no less.

The great thing about the Ego Twit is that he just puts it out there for everyone to see. In this case, picking a fight with a media writer and then questioning his agenda when he's interviewed half of the NBC on-air and exec/management chain is pretty amusing.

Did you notice that the Ego-twit did not twitter on Monday until right before the 8 pm show just to let all the "fangirls" & other loyalists know there was no reason to tune in to Larry What's- hisname. Thus the ratings will reflect how valuable it is to have the Ego's butt personally in his own massive chair each night.
That's called laying the groundwork for next year's contract negotiations, people. Learn from the master!

Of course there's no reason for anyone to watch anyone other than the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego on Countdown. As it should be.

Keith's Ego, you are thinking with the wrong head! It's always a dick-measuring contest with you!

If you didn't want anyone to think that Izzy was leaving because she can't take the Ego any longer, you should have announced her departure from Countdown on Countdown, had her sit in that chair across from you and let her gush for a couple of minutes about how excited she was to be starting her new job and plug Lawrence's show at the same time.

Then no one would believe that Izzy was leaving under anything but the best of circumstances. But no, you had to indulge your ego and go on vacation just before the announcement was made, and now everyone knows you are sitting in your bathtub trying to figure out how you're going to make this smell all rosy by the time you get back.

No one cares about lowly executive producers, they only care about THE STAR, the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. How dare you suggest that I waste my time interviewing some low-level flunkie whose new show will probably sink like a rock a few months after it debuts? She is not an on-air talent nor will she ever be. She wasn't even an off-air talent. The Ego does all the heavy lifting with Countdown because the Ego IS Countdown.

@Sal, you and an anon posted in a previous thread about Keith reading a really misogynist Thurber piece. It was from July 2nd. Interestingly enough, I cannot find 7/2 at Countdown's website, though every other one is there. Would you happen to know the name of the story he read? Anyone?

There must have been complaints, because that's the only one that's missing

I think it was "Mr. Preble gets rid of his wife."
