Watch out, Media!! Olbermann is doing his job as a journalist!!!
Thank God for Keith in bringing some basic factual sanity to this stupid political tool of a Newsweek story.

Too bad moere people are getting Kool-aid from O'reilly in the mean time.

2. The one and only news I watch the Olbermann hour.
I don't really consider Stewart news that's more infotainment.

3. McLellan, what an asshole
How can Newsweek cause more damage to our image than Bushco as already done?

17. Nope. Not at all. When you consider that a lot of people all over the
country get their news from an entire fake "news" NETWORK.

But it is ironic that Jon Stewart's information brokerage tells more truth than CNN or MSNBC (except for Olbermann) or the "big three" - and why it got a Peabody Award for broadcast excellence. SOMEBODY'S taking 'em at least semi-seriously.

27. Not really...when ALL news is fake anyway right now!
I much prefer Stewart's coverage of "news" to that of Olbermann. For instance, Olberman referred to Galloway tonite as 'like Zel Miller with an accent.' That was a cheap shot. There's nothing crazy about Galloway...though telling the truth often gets labeled as such.

12. Even if it isn't a repeat, I wouldn't count on it.
If they were in regular daily shooting I would expect it tomorrow night. I don't think there would be enough time between the hearing and filming.

13. I have to say I'm impressed at his transition from sports to anchor.
I does a pretty darned good job of asking balanced and tough questions. I know he's balanced when I get ticked at something he's asked. LOL!

18. is he a credentialed journalist?
What was his degree in? Gannon/Guckert called him a fake journalist - but I thought he was the real thing who did sports for awhile.

21. He has a degree in Communication Arts from Cornell.
As far as I can tell his career was all sports until the spot at CNN.

23. Back when I was college shopping, Cornell was one of the better
schools from which to get a communications degree (I have a comm. degree, but not from Cornell - couldn't afford it!).

I'd say he learned a thing or two from there, even if his experience has been more on sports reporting. :)

29. thanks - just curious. I know Coulter was a classmate of his
he mentioned it on his show once - that's why I assumed that was his major.

16. He's not being liberal. He's just doing his job...
which is to ask questions when things look or smell fishy.

That's not liberal.

24. Well, they do deserve some kind of cheering for doing a job well done,
just like any other human being (I know I liked winning awards for good work when I was reporting and, last time I checked, I was human. ;) )

However, it is pathetic when there's only a handful reporting on real news. *sigh*

30. He doesn't need another vacation.
He's gone almost as much as Jon Stewart. The only reason he has been on this many days consecutively is because of 'sweeps'.
