Awesome article on Keith Olbermann here.

Now MSNBC is announcing that Olbermann's contract has been renewed for four more years. More significantly, he is being given new duties with the daddy net, NBC. Olbermann will be submitting stories to NBC's Nightly News and he will also have two primetime Countdown specials on the network each year.

What is particularly gratifying is the expected response from his nemesis, Bill O'Reilly. In the past few weeks, O'Reilly has been ramping up his criticism of NBC as a network that has veered off to the far left. O'Reilly's sense of direction is clearly screwed up. It's obvious to any junior high schooler that his attacks are aimed at Olbermann, whose name he is afraid to utter out loud. Since he has had no impact on the Countdown juggernaut, he escalated the assault to include NBC. So Olbermann's promotion will only rub salt in O'Reilly's wounds. Even more so because he has no comparable path for advancement. The Fox broadcast network does not have a national evening news program and it's primetime schedule is 30% shorter than the other networks, making a time slot for O'Reilly more difficult to find (if they even wanted to).

Now I must give credit where it is due. This article can be found on this amazing site. And I found it via our good friends at Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. All I did was click my finger a few times.

Let's hear it for lazy blogging!
