Olbermann vs. Gannon/Guckert etc.

I find the recent preoccupation of Keith Olbermann with the Jeff Gannon story humorous. The man struggles to match the ratings of Gilligan's Island reruns yet jumps on a story that is a bonafide dog complete with fleas. Not even a tempest in a teapot, more like a tempest in a thimble. Is it possible that his leftist ideological loyalities are trumping his better judgement? Is DU calling the shots as apparently they did for a 3 week stint during the Ohio recount?

Particularly amusing is his sniping of Gannon concerning his Journalistic credentials. A bit of the pot calling the kettle black being that Olber'n (as Dirty Harry would have it) boasts the rather modest journalistic background of a failed sportscaster. I have read a few articles by Gannon and a though a critic I am not, found them to be quite up to standard. The online escort thing is just silly and even if true wouldn't preclude him from being...well, President

It is bad enough that someone let in a guy with no media experience, an
alias, and background as an online- escort

In the context of
time-remember, Gannons status as shill began 3 weeks
before the bombing
commenced in Iraq

"Status as shill" could just as easily be applied to Helen Thomas, although she was better at it.
Maybe if Olbermann would quit bottomfeeding for the glorious mega-story that would both damage the right and create a huge ratings boost and concentrate on producing solid entertaining reports, he could extract his ratings from the toilet.
