You've got your agent provocateurs, finally, we've got ours!

Keith Rocks!

By the way, since when have sports reporters not been journalist. If you know anything about the news media, or newspapers, the sports departments have the highest budgets and some of the best writers and reporters in the business.

Default Go get em

"Insular. Isolationist. Backwards-looking. Mindlessly flag-waving. Racist. No second chances. A million rules, but only for the other guy."

"[T]he America you perceive, Congresswoman, with its goblins and ghosts and vast unseen hordes of traitors and fellow travelers and Senators who won't ban 'Aladdin' exists only in your head, and in the heads of the others who must rationalize the failures in their own lives and of their own policies as somebody else's fault, as a conspiracy to deny them an America of exclusionism and religious orthodoxy and prejudice, about which they must accuse, and murmur, and shout threats, and cleave the nation into pro-America and anti-America."

"In the closed, sweaty world of the blind allegiances of Limbaugh, one of 'us' who endorses one of 'them' must be doing so for some other blind allegiance, like the color of skin."

"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?"

Keith Olbermann is an idiot. Wasn't he demoted or something? There was a reason for that.

Edward R. Murrow was an idiot, too, wasnt he?

He certainly does. I wish you had cable, too.

His is by far the best daily cable news program. Some may not agree with his views, but absolutely no one can intelligently claim that he is not an excellent journalist who calls it as he sees it.

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.

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.

I disapprove of your message. SO does everyone else apparently due to the fact MSNBC has viewership of 94 people and a parrot.
