Keith Olberman's great -- But something about his show is bothersome
Advertisements [?]
I like Keith Olberman. He's great and tells it like it is.

But often his own show seems to undercut him.

I've often seen set-ups for stories that would lkead you to believe they'll be really critical and honest. But then, the actual story -- or interview -- turns out to be the same old MSM shit.

He'll ask a provocative question, but then have a guest on who is straight out of the Beltway usual Suspects crowd. soime moronic reporter or pundit oir "analyst" who just spouts off the usual crap. And Keith seldom challenges them.

Or he'll promise a news report that says something like "Did the Administration hype the latest terror threat?"....But then the story turns out to be repackaged reports from the nightly news, HGardball, etc. by stenographers like Lisa Meyers or the other crak parrots of the nbc Washington Bureau.

Keith needs to get some REAL alternative viewpoints on there. Talk to some real progressives and otehgrs who are outside of the usual crowd....Hell, even Tweety has peopel like Amy Goodman on.
