Unsettling News, Uncomfortable Opinion

Olbermann Pisses Me Off

Dear Readers,

Keith Olbermann is a threat. He is a threat to newscasters and entertainers alike with his “What Really Grinds My Gears”-oriented segments. He is a threat to college kids – his particular brand of political B.S. is on a level far beyond the average UC Berkeley Poli-Sci student. Olbermann is (and no, this is not meant to be a detraction) probably the most liberal human being in the news media today. Instead of giving us the news, Olbermann provides a reaction reminiscent of one’s mother (yes, mother) expressing her disappointment.

This is the same B.S. we heard out of the Obama campaign before they realized that campaign issues don’t necessarily apply to being “Presidential.” As the Daily Show put it, “Yes we can- But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re going to.” The experience has made Obama a more grounded figure, and definitely a better president than candidate.

Olbermann should try to do the same. Run for public office, sir.

But you won’t will you? Because as any other hypocrite knows, Congresspeople are paid much less than you are.

Although, he might be right…

  2. Olbermann expresses his opinions in that format because that’s his schtick, and he’s usually dreadfully right in what he says. He’s not a politician and he doesn’t want to be a politician, so there’s no need for him to talk like one. He’s a guy on TV– not a guy in public office.

  3. Also, it’s funny how bobbygee didn’t list FOX news on his list of dying news networks.
