	Keith Olbermann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Keith Olbermann (born January 27, 1959 in New York City) is an American news anchor, commentator and radio sportscaster.
		Olbermann's ratings are often 4th for cable news in his timeslot, behind O'Reilly at Fox News, Paula Zahn at CNN, and Nancy Grace at CNN Headline News, and his is the 12th-most watched nightly cable news program overall.
		Olbermann says that one difference between the coverage of the Lewinsky scandal and his criticism of the Bush administration is that with the rapid-fire format of Countdown, he doesn't have to cover a single story (or even politics in general) for an entire hour.

	Countdown with Keith Olbermann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Olbermann crumples up his notes and throws them at the camera, which "shatters" (a digital video effect) and the next show begins, unless the day's news is dominated by a somber story, in which case the shatter effect is skipped.
		Olbermann began the rivalry on May 5, 2003 when after doing a piece of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's famous 1950's communist "witch hunt", when he said that "it was like shooting fish in a barrel, much like how Bill O'Reilly does his show." Over the next three years, the rivalry has grown to enormous proportions.
		Olbermann responded to O'Reilly's charge of cheap shots by noting that O'Reilly said the Catholic Church was against Christmas and his endorsement of a terrorist attack on San Francisco on his radio show.

	Q & A
		OLBERMANN: When we started this, we were just the kind of divertissement (ph) from the networks, and obviously it has now changed and the number of entertainment opportunities, the number of channels a viewer will have is just mind-boggling.
		OLBERMANN: Well, it’s a kind of simplified version of simply writing a series of columns or articles that appear only on line or are extensions of what you might be doing television wise, translations of them from the TV format to a written format.
		OLBERMANN: Jim Boutan (ph), who was a baseball player who became a sportscaster when I was 11 years old and told a joke which taught me — I mean, he might have been on the air three weeks when he did one joke that taught me where the line was.

	Keith Olbermann
		Keith Olbermann is spotlighted in on my home page not only because he is a role model as I steer into the perilous waters of modern journalism, but also because he is a significant contrarian influence in media.
		This is the age of the video clip, and although he made a name for himself narrating video clips, Olbermann remains one of the finest ambassadors of the written and spoken word to the world of television.
		Olbermann is a sportscaster, which is tantamount to introducing someone as a rap artist -- eyes roll, reputations are threatened.

		Keith Olbermann is an American Radio and Television Journalist, remarkable as virtualy the only Progressive voice on American Television today.

		Keith Olbermann's ongoing campaign against the Bush administration is now resonating so well with liberals, Democratic leaders in Washington are starting to quote the MSNBC host publicly.
		A similar phenomenon might be occuring with Keith Olbermann. As noted here, in a closing 'Special Comment' on last night's show, he accused the Bush administration of representing "a new type of fascism." Daily Kos and Democratic Underground exploded in paroxysms of joy, and deluged the show with thousands of approving emails.
		Olbermann utilized the arraignment of British suspects in the plot to blow up U.K. airplanes as an opportunity to replay a ten minute long segment, entitled "The Nexus of Politics and Terror" from last October.

		Keith comes clean in a rambling piece that could be condensed down to one sentence: There is no evidence of election fraud in Ohio.
		Second, he e-mailed Olbermann before he became a D.C. producer, it says in the first e-mail to Olbermann that he was working for the AP in a non-journalist capacity and that's the only reason he would dare send the e-mail.

	Keith Olbermann - Deadspin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Olbermann's first question was on the current dispute between McCain/Warner/Graham and the Bush administration on the administration appearing to disregard an act of Congress: What did Swann think about the split within the Republican party, and which side was he on?
		Olbermann, in one of the sweetest comebacks I've heard in a long time, responded that if Swann wanted a state question, he had one: Senator Rick Santorum is talking smack about going after federal funding for New Jersey if they won't agree to dredge the Delaware River.
		Olbermann, very quietly and with as much polite snark as he could possibly get away with, suggested that Swann may want to make a note of that one, and threw it back to Patrick with the question, "Are you glad you wanted to do that now?"

	Keith Olbermann Wrongly Declares Michelle Malkin Today’s 'Worst Person in the World' \| NewsBusters.org
		What Keith conveniently failed to inform his viewers was that these phone numbers were actually part of a press release by the organization responsible for the protest, Students Against War.
		I guess it might have diminished Olbermann’s point a bit to share with his viewers some of the reprehensible comments Malkin has found in her inbox all day for merely sharing the exact same information that those responsible for this protest gave to the press.
		For Keith to attack her in any way is a travesty. To attack her in a snide vindictive way is typical of the elite condescending attitude of Liberal Dogs.

	Moonbattery: Keith Olbermann Crack-Up
		Keith Olbermann Crack-Up Whether it's because the Rove indictment he repeatedly predicted and fervently wished for never happened, or due to the humiliation of getting trounced every weeknight by his nemesis Bill O'Reilly (who has six times his viewership), MSNBC moonbat in residence Keith Olbermann really seems to be coming apart.
		Among his wackier opinions is his belief that the War on Terror is a smokescreen to defend the sinister Bush Administration from more serious issues, like who can be snagged in a perjury trap over the absurd Valerie Plame kerfuffle.
		Posted by: gene at June 16, 2006 02:59 PM Keith is one can short of a six pack.

		I also enjoy the show's regulars Monica Novotny (she and Keith seem to have a lot of affection for one another) and Alison Stewart quite a lot, and many of the regular interviewees.
		From what I've read online on other sites, Keith wanted to avoid having a news show that regularly picks one story and covers it exclusively for the whole hour day after day, as so often happens with many "news" programs.
		Keith was covering the 2004 Ohio Recount before anyone else on network or cable news, I think, which are just lately playing catch-up.
