I don't see the bad here.

In the interview with Paul Tullis, one focus is Olbermann's habit of, "trashing people publicly, even his employers."

But he seems to be doing well for himself in the office now. Tullis cites a senior executive at MSNBC, who says, "Keith runs MSNBC. It's been an amazing turnaround, because two years ago they were going to cancel him. Because of his success, he's in charge. Chris Matthews is infuriated by it."

The article also touches on Olbermann's goals, in the context of his main competition, Fox News Channel. "I'd like it to be the accurate counterweight to Fox. My attitude is not to counterbalance them because they're conservatives; it's counterbalancing because some of their stuff is outlandishly in violation of every tenet of responsible broadcasting," he says.

I'm sorry just the fact that Tweety is "infuriated" is enough for me in this article.

The rest is just gravy.

But let me be the first to give Mr. Olbermann a friendly warning:

Keith, you rock!
But don't let the power go to your head and make you forget why you rock.
Remember that "power corrupts, and being in charge of MSNBC corrupts absolutely!"
Having said that I want you to know that we love you, and want you to keep calling the Bush administration on their bullshit. You are our hero.

Peace out dawg.
