Olbermann explained his position on DKos.

"D) Back to one of my original points: we do in fact give weight to stories based on how much they are covered by the older newscasts and organizations. In other words, if it's going to be on ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, etc., that brings it down a notch in our evaluation of its worthiness in our show. Our show is primarily about trying to give airtime to stories that are not on ABC, CBS, CNN, and Fox."

That is, he isn't apt to cover stories that are already saturated in the news. And as Rachel mentions in the clip below, a google news search of Stewart/Cramer revealed thousands of news reports.

GE has the Maddow and Olbermann shows because they make money. They made money when the criticized Bush (Olbermann savagely) and they will make money when the criticize Obama. Are you also prepared to make the argument that GE, by allowing Olbermann to advocate for impeachment that they had a vested interest in removing Bush?
