Bob Cesca: Congratulations To Olbermann and Congratulations To The News

Imagine there's no pundits. It's easy if you try.

With a tremendous and well-deserved upswing in his ratings, Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" has surpassed CNN and is inching closer and closer to defeating the self-satirical Bill O'Reilly. Clearly, this is a significant milestone towards television news making a comeback.

But it's egregiously inaccurate to portray Olbermann as a liberal pundit or biased reporter who counters the lobotomized bobbleheads elsewhere on MSNBC, Fox News, and parts of CNN. Instead of trying to out-pundit his competition and collegues, Olbermann counters by holding accountible the ruling party via reporting on what the government is up to. And he manages to do this without ranting, raving, or spitting.

Very nice article about Keith Olbermann and the role of news reporting in general.

1. It's a great article
and it points out that KO isn't there to promote the Dems, he's there to speak the truth.

It will not speak well for any Dems if they decide to withdraw support from KO because he doesn't parrot their opinions all the time. That's not what he's trying to do.
