Quote from Mav88:
...and Olbermann is an asswipe with an overinflated sense of self-importance and intelligence, just ask the folks at ESPN.
I thought him bringing his 40 year old undergrad diploma on air to show the world was really sophomoric. I was embarrassed for him.
Keith Olbermann is a personality. As obnoxious as he may seem to you he is nowhere near as bad O'Reilly who is an arrogant blowhard and actually insults his guests on air.
NBC has a shady past. Ashley Banfield anyone? She used to be a rising star but one comment about Iraq war and boom. Back when "W" was strong (pre katrina) people did not mock him openly but when he was on the way out Chirs Mathews flat out implied W was a moron. NBC is a business. Which means they will not sacrifice their franchise to "tell the truth" when it is highly unpopular. Implying that bush was a moron in 2002 would have been suicidal. There used to be a great period of high quality journalism in the US when Edward R Murrow and then Walter Cronkite could engage in high quality reporting. Now it is a busiess of low risk reporting.
