Keith Olbermann is one of the few voices who consistently speaks out against the Bush administration. I get the impression he fancies himself heir to Edward R. Murrow. And that is not in itself a bad thing except that Keith has a tendency to get full of himself and become boorishly verbose. The points he makes need to be made, some of his theatrics I could do without. Another outspoken critic is Jack Cafferty and he comes across a bit more sincere, a bit more himself, in his criticism. Jon Stewart has just the right touch to skewer the vermin of our body politic in such a way there is now way his victims elude his prickly barbs. And Steve Colbert…”reality has a liberal bias.” What more can I say. In a world full of hucksters we need all those who are willing to speak truth to power. There are not enough of them.

@RichMc: That Murrow quote he uses is a bit annoying - but I guess that’s more part of a sales strategy. MSNBC has discovered that there is an audience out there that loves to hate Bill’O - so Keith has filled and grown on that niche.

Jack Cafferty is also a ‘charming’ Bush Biter - but he needs his own show. Those daily 5 minutes under Wolf Blitzer are terrible. But so is CNN in general.
