Olbermann wants to be taken as a credible Journalist and talks about the "October Surprise"? What's the point of bringing up a debunked theory like that?

Two congressional inquiries then confirmed these conclusions. The Senate stated that "by any standard, the credible evidence now known falls far short of supporting the allegation of an agreement between the Reagan campaign and Iran to delay the release of the hostages" (Committee on Foreign Relations 1992, 115).

Sorry Keith, but your credibility meter has gone way down by the finding of a Democratic Controlled Congress.
There are only two reasons that Olbermann could have spoken of this as fact.
1) He was Ignorant of the findings by Congress. Therefore incompentent.
Or
2) He lied. If he lies about this, what else does he lie about?
