Olbermann reports shooter was a Chinese National, Fox without a clue.?

The Cons constantly lambaste MSNBC as a hotbed of liberalism, never mind that Scarborough and Carlson are much more traditional conservatives than O'Reilly and Hannity.

Anyway, Olbermann reported tonight that an ATF source indicates that the Va Tech shooter is a Chinese national, non-student. He had a great deal of focus on the incident with fresh new details, while BillO, again, led off the Factor with the standard Two Minutes Hate about Rosie and the stupid rap guy that Malkin crucified last week. BillO absolutely did not have the info. that Olbermann did. He did a thorougly uninformative summary with Van Susteren at the very end of the show.

Do you still think that Fox is reporting the news, Fox viewers. Who will bet that Bill will be ALL OVER the story tomorrow if the ATF report turns out to be true, that the shooter was a foreign national.

Just don't believe it when he bills it as a Fox exclusive.

Update:

Haven: I agree. And they seem to think that MSNBC is so radically left wing.

I don't often agree with Tucker, but at least he usually has some sort of actual argument and can frame a decent debate, unlike the BillO type of conservative who has to cut off people's mics all of the time because people get the best of him.

Update 2:

Airborne: It seems that Drudge may have picked up a report from the Chi Sun Times, I don't know if MSNBC had the same source, but I still think it is hugely significant that O'Reilly viewers (he is still the ratings leader as he constantly states even though Olbermann is catching up) were not informed of this development.

Why are Rosie's latest blatherings more important?

Update 3:

Megs: No, you are wrong. MSNBC specifically reported that ATF says he is a Chinese National. Not taking anything "out of context".

Update 4:

amwil4: Nothing that you said contradicts anything that I asserted. Get a clue.

Update 5:

BTW, amwil, if your claim is accurate, why in the world would O'Reilly not enlighten his viewers with pertinent facts that Fox had already reported?

Update 6:

Of course, and obviously, there are many working people, like me, who watch at 7 or 8 but don't see a report that airs at 4.

    I guess by now you know that Olbermann was wrong.

    Fox got the same reports that MSNBC, CNN, and ABC, and all the others got O'Rielly just didn't report on it.

    If you want the news then read The Drudge Report, don't wait for the talking heads of any network.

    I'd love for all the cons to watch Olbermann for two weeks straight. They would certainly see for themselves how right wing Fox really is.

    I watched FOX News for a few hours earlier today and they made me sick.

    I switched to CNN.
