On Thursday’s Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann mixed up NewsBusters parent organization the Media Research Center with the group Accuracy in Media, as he linked MRC Founder and President Brent Bozell to an article written by AIM’s Roger Aronoff. In the article, titled "Olbermann’s Fuzzy Math on Race," Aronoff had responded to Olbermann’s Monday "Special Comment" in which he asserted that a scarcity of minorities at Tea Party events amounts to evidence of racism by Tea Party activists. The MSNBC host mistakenly referred to Aronoff and AIM editor Cliff Kincaid as "henchmen" of Bozell, and associated all three men with "racists in the right wing."
