Well, Keith is incredibly biased, but I will say this --
He's never dropped to the level of the likes of O'Reilly. No screaming at guests, rambling incoherently, etc. Keith always makes his (biased) points with intelligent and level-headed commentary & humor. Agree with it or not, it's much closer to real editorial content than O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, and their clones. Yelling at your guests does get ratings, though, so I wouldn't expect Olbermann to be topping the charts anytime soon.
Olbermann isn't fit to sharpen O'Reilly's pencils!
O'Reilly doesn't "scream at guests" anywhere near as much as claimed. That is just the leftist's claim which isn't true.
And what is this "rambling incoherently?" Care to provide some actual examples?
I disapprove of your message. SO does everyone else apparently due to the fact MSNBC has viewership of 94 people and a parrot.

At least you recognize that he does! Some might actually think that is journalism. Glad you aren't so easily fooled. As I said, yelling at your guests gets ratings. Everyone wants the Jerry Springer moment. So yeah, as I ALREADY SAID, Fox News will kill MSNBC in the ratings.
Personally, I don't go for Jerry Springer and professional wrestling. So CNN and MSNBC are my preferred choices. I guess I'm one of the 94.
Boy your drinking the Kool-Aid huh? Olbermann is a sports hack who got fired at ESPN and Fox---Yes Fox. Because he is bitter he went to MSNBC with a chip on his shoulder----probably 99% of what the guy says is for theatrics only. All he cares about is getting his ESPN gig back.

Is it not your responsibility, Senator, to, if not applaud, then at least quiet those in your half of our fractured political equation?
Is it not your responsibility, Senator, to say "enough" to Republican smears without end? Is it not your responsibility, Senator, to insist that, win or lose, you will not be party to a campaign that devolves into hatred and prejudice and divisiveness? And Sen. McCain, if it is not your responsibility, whose is it?
I claim it happens all the time. As I said, yelling at your guests gets ratings. Everyone wants the Jerry Springer moment. So yeah, as I ALREADY SAID, Fox News will kill MSNBC in the ratings.

Then you're not right... it doesn't happen "all the time."
I watch (and listen to) O'Reilly everyday. Unless you also do, then I would know more about his shows than you.
Fox News kills MSNBC in the ratings not because of "yelling," but because MSNBC is a joke of a network and leans far to the left.

EXACTLY my point. Some people may not agree with his (biased) views, but no one can logically claim that Olbermann is not an excellent journalist who gives reasoned, rational reports regarding current political news. Sure, he's biased, but he is a true journalist, unlike his moronic FOX counterparts who claim to be journalists, but realistically, are nothing of the sort.

Olbermann just said a whole bunch of nothing! As if there are no Democrat smears!

I think they call themselves Conservative Commentators.

They claim to be (and are) commentators.
But I can understand that you're sore because Fox News slaughters MSNBC in the ratings. And that more people would rather watch O'Reilly (and Hannity) than Olbermann.

Somehow I think you disagree with this...
