I like Keith Olbermann

[Taverner]

Look - the job of the media SHOULD BE to hold - whomever is elected by the people - 's feet to the fire.

Becoming President isn't like winning Survivor, Wimbledon, or the Oscars. You do a bunch of work - and when you win you have to do more work.

I would never want that job.

----------------------------------------

As much as I love Obama, I am glad KO had his rants.

Granted, he couldn't have chose a worse time - after his speech, but before us finding out about the $20b.

But speak our frustrations he did.

------------------------------------------

DailyKos pretty much drove him out, but this issue is NOTHING.

We may seem as if we've never been so driven apart as an organization (The Left, that is.)

We need to stick together, air our grievances, and move on.

Anything else is illogical.

1. I love Olbermann...he is almost always spot-on accurate.

2. Did MSNBC drop his show?

You speak of his rants in the past tense. :scared:

[Bluebear]

11. No but he criticized Obama's speech so he is dead to a lot of DUers all of a sudden

[Fridays Child]

12. Ah, I see.

Anxieties do tend to run high, around here. But so does the passion. :)

just an insight from an onlooking canadian...

6. K and R (nt)

8. I really like the MSNBC line up in the evening except Matthews. I would

have a hard time choosing which I like the best KO, Rachel or Ed. And now they will be adding another good show at 10:00.

[pennylane100]

13. yes it would be great if Matthews was dropped.

he is such an obnoxious person.

[jwirr]

15. Or they put the new show at 7:00 and Matthews at 10:00.

14. What is the issue with KO and Daily KOS? Is there a thread on that?

[JHB]

17. If it involves Kos and Olberman? How could there NOT be one?

More than one, in fact. Take your pick.

18. Thank you.

19. Cliffnotes

KO criticized Obama's speech on the oil spill. Didn't savage it or anything, just stated that he wasn't satisfied with it and put forward his concerns.

Several on Kos took exception to this and flamed Keith. Keith posted a diary saying (in essence) "Fine, to hell with you then." Don't know if he's been back since, but it's always hard to come back after a rage-quit.

[Lil Missy]

20. It doesn't seem prudent to flame out over a few opinions on KOS. Wonder if he knew them personally?

Jeebus, every single topic has diametrically opposing viewpoints.

Also didn't know KO was a KOS member.

I can't figure out how to get around that website. I read the rules once and got a brain freeze.

16. Don't Forget

Dylan Ratigan. He says a lot of edgy emperors new clothes kinds of stuff. And he has Cenk on, and guests on Cenk's show, too. (Although I think he did come on to Ana a little bit? But, who wouldn't?)
