I will tell you that I am very happy you are rewarding Olberman with a new contract. As one who has been in the news and information business since 1951, I became so embarassed by the fawning over public officials that I began telling people that I am a "recovering journalist"--like a recovering alcoholic, I can't live with it, i.e. "news" and can't live without it. After weeks, months, years of watching evening news, I saw it going mostly downhill, and am glad to see people like Olberman put some thought and study and spark into their presentations. My only complaint is that today: Nov. 28, a very important news day, there was no evening newscast on MSNBC-- just another of the network's sex-exposes--canned stuff--important coverage, but not the type of political news and analysis that serves us well in these complex political times.

Dear anyone with brains
Greetings, as the football season progresses, I as a fan watch as much NFL as possible. I just wanted you to know that as long as you continue to use Keith Olbermann on your pre-game show I not only will not watch the product, but will boycott any products used to sponsor the show. Someone like myself who loves my country and the people who live here, I will never understand how a person like Olbermann can continue to keep employment. He is not only a embarrassment to NBC, but an embarrassment to the United States. I wish him nothing but failure and can only hope he has nothing but disaster and sickness in his life.

wow that sucks

"...with no foreign policy experience, no working knowledge of the constitution, no knowledge of how the federal government works and who had to be shielded from the press as much as possible ..."

By "woman" you must mean your God, Obama, as this fits him better than anyone else. The silly commie bitch even dodged interviews late in the race and had journalists banned from his campaign and further access if they asked anything other than fawning, softball questions.

He's good, though. Sucked all you public school morons in really good. It just goes to show that with the right sales pitch you can convince the uneducated and lazy of almost anything. Get ready for Jimmy Carter: Phase II, and that's not a good thing.

Bill O' isn't going anywhere...why should Olbermann? They're just political opposites of the same person, after all.

"When he found his voice he decided to augment it by pointing out the pandering to the administration and lack of journalistic integrity of other news outlets."

The irony...

Elf: Somewhere in all of that, did I read the word Bloviate?

"Olbermann versus Bill O'Reilly" they only fight because they remind themselves of each other too much. A blowhard doesn't like it when another blowhard muscles in on their turf.

Were you serious when you wrote: "I happen to like Olbermann. He stirs it up."

How do you characterize someone who sits in an echo chamber while preaching to the choir as someone who "stirs it up?"

Until Olbermann finally has a guest or two on his show with an opposing point of view, he will forever remain bathtub-boy.

And as far as the fued between him and O'Reilly... Olbermann is obsessed with the guy. He's seriously got issues (homoerotic or otherwise) that could use some real by-the-hour work. I rarely hear O'Reilly mention Keith's name; on the other hand, you can't watch Olbermann's show without seeing a buttload of Bill O'Reilly.

Very odd (ball).

What a waste of money! Both on Keith Olbermann & Rachel Maddow. MSNBC must have money to burn - hope they don't show up in the "bailout line".
