I loved watching Olbermann when he was doing Sportscenter.  He was the best sportscaster Ive ever watched.  However, Ive lost all respect for him now that he's a shill for the Democratic left.

Agree whole-heartedly.

I think Olbermann is smarter than you think. And although he wears his politics on his sleeve, it's hardly any worse than anything you see on Fox. Quite the opposite, he usually goes the extra mile to make things balanced on his show - from what I've seen.

 

His newscast is, in a lot of ways, a throwback to the way news used to be done.

 

Thats why he'll be asking for an investigation into the leaks about the CIA prisons and the NSA programs. Right? Don't hold your breath. At least O'Reilly calls Bush on issues in which he disagrees. You never see Olberman do a show and say anytthing negative about a Dem or a Lib.

They are selling something different than O'Reilly. They are selling passion and ownership in what its fans see as a "movement." You may call it pathetic, I call it - and most bottom line folk in the communications industry see it as "maximizing revenue."

 

Sounds like MOVEON.ORG for the radio.
