Meh.

He's basically the Left Wing's Rush Limbaugh.

I liked him when he was on ESPN.

He's only watchable if he's wearing a ball gag. Otherwise it takes too long to clean the flecks of spittle off my screen. The man needs full-body restraints. And here's a little review of 'Baby Keith' you might (or not) be interested to read ...

Keith Olbermann’s phony outrage mixes with Mark Potok’s fear-mongering for a perfect storm of MSNBC propaganda

April 14, 2010 | By Andrew Steele

As the pundit who will deliver the goods when it comes to turning Americans against patriots and those who believe in “conspiracy theories” Mark Potock  made a stop on the Keith Olbermann show to once again deliver the message that Americans who protest the government are dangerous to society. With the arrest of the federal agent provocateured Hutaree group in Michigan the mainstream press has been quick to seize on the incident and associate with it anyone who resists growing federal power
  
While acknowledging that the vast majority of people in militia groups don’t contemplate murdering police officers (even propaganda has to be a little truthful to have any credibility, so as not to push the limits of the public’s common sense)  Olbermann and Potok were quick to discuss “overlap”  between the Tea Party movement and groups like the Hutaree in another guilt by association attack.

Using the same person over and over again to deliver the same message, as the TV networks have done with Potak, is not itself evidence that there’s a threat against the government by radicals, but rather that the press is trying to convince the public that there is.  Overlooking incidents of leftist violence and focusing on the hypothetical violence of an obscure right leaning group, the aim of the media machine is to scatter opposition to the federal agenda to the winds as, (they hope), members of it distance themselves from each other out of fear of being considered “extremists”.

He's such a joke. I loved Ben Afflek when he made fun of him on SNL. He looked just like him hahahaha!

Christiana Amanpour is a very good credible journalist. PMSNBC is full of sarcastic clowns.

and so it goes,, I loved it when the NEWS was about facts, now its all entertainment as far as the public is concerned,, with the most popular 'opinions' and 'presentations' being reinforced in mainstream ,,,,,,,,,,,with 'facts' being disputed against opinions,,,,with 'delivery' being more significant than content,,,



could get kind of scary,,,
