I could promise to post these every day, but that probably won't happen. Anybody else is welcome to post them too (even you, Tahoe).

Olberman was better at being serious about something silly then being silly about something serious.

Also, since the same youtube users post most of these things can't you just scroll through the other video's that come up after this one is done rather than posting each video? LOL

To each their own, I guess.

I find him to be very intelligent/entertaining and I admire his passion.

I love the "worst persons" segment, the music cracks me up. It's must see TV for me anytime I'm near a TV when he's on.

I'm sorry. I hate that he's using the Murrow mood/tone/style to be so blatantly propagandist. I'm no Murrow scholar but his actions against McCarthyism weren't a championing of his political agenda but an act to protect the nation against bigotry. I fall on this KO's side of the political fence but I don't support this type of behavior even if it's goal is to fight fire with fire.

While I don't agree with Moody, it is not necessarily an act of racism to change one's mind on an issue due to an event who's impetus and agenda were racial.

Glenn

Despite a good job with the Worst Persons meltdown and some fun with the camera angles, I doubt that this becomes a recurring segment on SNL. For the most part, the impression barely resembles the real McCoy, IMO.

Although I bet you anything that Keith is thrilled that he's become relevant enough to warrant such attention.

Yeah, I wanted it to be better than it was and it could easily have been. He's doing "generic news reporter" rather than "KO" as far as the impersonation. Does KO speak quickly or overly deep? The content seems on the mark though, ego-maniac, self-involved, hyper-critical, ridiculously-partisan, other-hyphenated-descriptives.

I just saw that Nancy Grace is drawing higher ratings than Countdown.

Rachel Maddow's ratings have dropped nearly 50% in the last month.

So not only is General Electric going down, but it looks to be taking MSNBC with them.

Glenn

MSNBC's surge was all based on the election and the excitement surrounding it.

I haven't watched MSNBC in months, the fun is gone for me.

Nancy Grace draws ratings for the same reasons that Jerry Springer and Maury Povich did/does, lowest common denomenator stuff.

Ratings are definitely not a good measure of quality, or "time well spent", IMO.

I really didn't watch him all that much, but when I did, I enjoyed it a lot. It's good television.


Olbermann is himself an ideologue, a man who never met a shade of gray he liked and who believes his opponents are evil. He all but smacks his lips when he considers the coming presidential race, anticipating what he calls a “demolition derby” on the Republican side. “They have no shot,” he said. “American elections are decided by oversimplifications,” adding that only one thing matters. “Obama is the guy who got Bin Laden, why would we change? End of thought.”

I tend to agree with this, too.
