Murdoch-controlled NY Post publishes Olbermann's home address

This will be short & sweet.

In retaliation for Keith naming Murdoch as "worst person in the world" on Friday's show, the Murdoch-controlled NY Post has actually published Keith's home address in a BS story about him owing a small amount of taxes (which MSNBC confirms was resolved months ago). The post includes his home address in the story "according to public records."

Murdoch is truly a scumbag.

So, do we have Keith's back against Murdoch, or what?

1. what are we able to do?

Remember that I'm a Canadian and don't watch TV....I'd like to hit this vicious scumbag, but how? Got a suggestion?

[magellan]

2. I smell a BIG lawsuit

GO GET 'EM, KEITH!

[tridim]

3. I bet KO has his own back in this situation

Tonight's "Worst Person" should be fun. :)

[EOTE]

19. Does anyone know Murdoch's address?

Isn't turnabout fair play? Can he reveal it on Countdown? That would be pretty sweet.

4. I sure hope that when we have an Obama as President that he is able to...

get something done about the likes of Murdoch and his puke wade MSM.

6. And what might that action be?

What could the President do to a murdoch media that could not also be applied to an msnbc media?

[LakeSamish706]

17. I actually would like it to happen to all of the MSM (or so there called). n/t

[wvbygod]

5. why not publish the same for murdoch

Maybe he will need a bigger mailbox.

12. 834 FIFTH AVE UNIT# PH NEW YORK, NY 10021

Appears to be his principle residence.

7. I'd be more than happy to put Billo's address in my sig line.

Or any of the other FOX shit eaters if someone has it.

8. I can see an action in tort for invasion of privacy notwithstanding if ithe address

was found in a public document.

Disclosure of Private Facts.This type of invasion occurs when private or embarrassing facts are revealed about an individual without relation to a legitimate public concern. For example, let's say that a man who had served time for a robbery 20 years earlier rehabilitated himself and is now a pastor. Publication of the facts of the 20-year old robbery would be an invasion of privacy unless there was a related public interest -- for example, the pastor was again arrested for a crime.

9. So how do we go about finding Richard Johnson's address?

I would love to see it forwarded around the blogs until an apology is issued.

[slackmaster]

11. There are a lot of Richard Johnsons out there

Can you narrow it down for me, like what city or ZIP code?

[no limit]

13. I'm talking about the guy that wrote that NYP article.

I know as little about him as you do so I'm sorry if I can't be any more help.

10. Keith's property is listed in public records in his own name, as are most peoples'

Most WEALTHY people disguise their public record data with trusts and other instruments.

BTW - Public record data shows Keith's property tax status as current.

;-)

[magellan]

14. There's a difference between that information being accessible

...to people who might go in search of it, and an outfit with the reach of the NY Post publishing it for the masses.

[slackmaster]

18. KO's address is also listed in the NYC phone book

Under his real name.

[magellan]

23. So what? n/t

[slackmaster]

24. KO was in no way harmed by having it printed by Murdoch

:shrug:

[magellan]

25. Not the point

I've already said why it's different than having general access to public records. Guess we'll have to see how KO feels about it and, if he files suit, what the courts then say.

[slackmaster]

26. IMO he doesn't have a leg to stand on in any kind of civil suit

:hi:

I work for a company that deals extensively with public record data.

[Cleita]

15. I hope Keith slaps a huge lawsuit on him for

endangerment of his life and violation of his privacy.

[elvisbear]

16. Richard Johnson? - Is that a supposed to be a joke?

What's his middle name? Woody? :evilgrin: :wtf:

[truebrit71]

20. Wow....the size of that lawsuit alone could put them out of business...

...what a bunch of feral cock-suckers they are...

[fascisthunter]

21. I'm Sure His Lawyer Has Been Made Aware of It

Time will tell us if this was a big "No-No".

[Pisces]

22. I hope Keith gets millions for this stupid stunt. Keith must be pushing some buttons.

[Berry Cool]

27. Old news, nothing to see here. Keith's address has been public knowledge for a year.

Not only is it in the public records (which is where they're getting it from, as they indicate quite clearly), it was published first in the New York Observer last April:

http://www.observer.com/2007/keith-olbermann-spends-4-2...

Afraid there's no grounds for a lawsuit here with Rupe and the gang. This bus left the station a LONG time ago.

As for the stupid tax story, it's interesting that the whole thing is actually settled and not even news anymore.
