Olbermann Is Our New New Walter Cronkite. Will Someone On MSNBC Wake Up?

[fightindonkey]

The guy is fucking brilliant! He has the look, the voice, the brains. Why are they wasting airtime on tweety bird? Olbermann's show is too small. One desk. It's not that attractive to viewers. They should give all to him, his own studio! People only tune into MSNBC on election nights to see Olbermann, not Tweety. Without him, they'd be no show.

1. I think they should revamp Keith's show...

Get rid of some of that silly stuff ~ it's like brilliance interspersed with fluff.

4. Agreed.

I tune out at least 10 minutes of it, if not more. I don't give flying you-know-what about Britney, et al. I'd like to see Rachel Maddow have that time, if not more.

2. Brilliant, maybe. But no Walter Cronkite

Uncle Walt was respected because he was impartial.

That means both Republicans and Democrats listened to him.

Olbermann is not impartial; he is clearly on our side of the issues.

And that's okay by me.

5. it's okay with me too,

but hubby hates him. i think they could do away with "the worst person in the world". it's a bit silly.

6. He's on the side of fairness. That's all.

And I like the silly.

3. His desk is just fine.

I'm focused on what's coming out of his mouth, not the props surrounding him.

7. His set was redone recently.
