[Video] Keith Olbermann returned to TV last night, said the same stuff about Manish Mehta that everyone's already said

Keith Olbermann made his unnecessary return to TV yesterday, opening “Olbermann Live” with an "As I was saying..." intro. And then he went and said what every sports blogger and, specifically, Boomer & Carton have been saying for years. Manish Mehta is a dope who makes up anonymous sources followed up by dropping plausible stories. He said it this way (transcribed by the great Rick Chandler):

He then performed a lengthy lobotomy on Manish Mehta’s New York Daily News story on Rex Ryan (headline: ‘Rex Ryan’s decision to play Mark Sanchez in fourth could cost him job’).

“Who decided this could cost him his job?” asked an incredulous Olbermann. “Who are his sources? Are we witnessing the end of journalism? He is just making stuff up!”

He lambasted the Daily News for creating a story out of thin air, and then reporting on their own non-story. It was a pointed, Daily Show-esque moment, possessing a level of insight and skill that the Worldwide Leader desperately needs.

He's old, tired, repetitive and doesn't work well with others. Perfect ESPN hire.
