Models of journalistic integrity: Keith Olbermann isn’t only a douche, he’s a thief as well.

Keith Olbermann is an asshat. Anyone with a modicum of taste knows that. He is the liberal douche version of Bill O’Reilly and does it poorly. (which is saying something when you do the shill thing worse than O’Reilly)

Well, he has a long history of ‘inventing’ stories out of the blue. (google around for the conservative blogs who are on him like stink on shit who do a great job of chronicling his fuck ups)

However, he’s taken it to a new low as Mark Malkin of E! found out and REPORTS HERE:

The MSNBC host devoted time tonight to my Jennifer Hudson interview on his show, Countdown With Keith Olbermann. He riffed on Hudson saying she wanted to help Barack Obama win the presidency but hadn’t heard from his camp.

What he doesn’t do is credit the Hudson story where he got her remarks about Obama. Check out the video above starting at about 4:22 and see for yourself.

Classy, Keith. Real classy. How hard would it to be to say at LEAST ‘ from E!’ even if you aren’t going to drop Mark’s name specifically? Seriously, it’s not hard. It’s the cornerstone of fair use and journalism. If you use someone else’s info just mention their fucking name, Keith. It’s not a huge deal. It’s one syllable: E!.

Check out the video after the break and check out the story on E! to track the nonsense that is Keith Olbermann and actually read all of Hudson’s comments in context.

UPDATE: the iframe code seems to suck ass. Way to go MSNBC. If it’s not working just click on the E! story or go direct to MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/25274305#25274305
