Comments on: Media Alert – Did GE Stifle Keith Olbermann? http://griid.org/2009/08/08/media-alert-did-ge-stifle-keith-olbermann/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 09:04:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jeff Smith http://griid.org/2009/08/08/media-alert-did-ge-stifle-keith-olbermann/#comment-103 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 21:45:49 +0000 http://griid.org/?p=736#comment-103 Nick, I agree with your assessment of Olbermann. He is not a quality journalist, but more of an entertainer. The FAIR media alert was more directed at corporate power than the issue of whether or not Olbermann is challenging power, so thanks for your comments.

Jeff

I have always found Olbermann to be an entertaining talk show host but have always questioned his journalistic integrity. In my mind he has always been nothing more than a counterpoint to the O’Reilly and Becks of Fox News, picking and choosing what to report on. Other thoughts?
