i have begin to watch olberman countdown . i must say i be absolutely amaze at how lacking i be at amazement a to his rating . he positively dreadful while lack in talent and acumen and political savvy of any sort and and the permanent smirk doesn not help . maybe he should have stay do sport journalism and guesting on the hollywood square . those who seem to think he remotely fair and consider this represent he just and a i write this and refer to john mccain a indulging in crass political terrorism . even a he just have several guest in a row that he offer the opportunity to bash in the bad way and sarah palin and the aforesaid mccain . he obviously promote anti palin scurrilous rumor and attack republican with an irrationality that would do bill maher proud and and omits basic fact when characterize his pathologically fearful enemy ( do he have a list and maybe he can count them down . ) . i do not think he a democrat actually and i think he an obamacrat . he shill for him without question or demur take his order obviously a a robotic talk head . his lack of balance be actually a bit scary insofar a others and such a hannity and colmes and oreilly and wolf blitzer and and even chris matthew ( though not lately ) and have proponent of the other side to at least discuss a particular matter with . olbermann . he have a part of his show that be dedicate to the most outrageous or untrue thing say on the behalf of john mccain and entitle and mccain in the membrane . nice . the snicker induce backdrop of all this and be that no one watch this dreck except a few bemused critic ( like me ) and or the true believer who hang out on the daily ko and moveon . org and who spew out the most vicious of comment and not limit to wish death on those they feel be insufficiently non extreme leave . throw in that female comic who call hillary clinton a word best leave unwritten and even with asterisk . i be not afraid of word and but that be something olbermann probably wouldn not have mind on his show if he could have get away with it . i would actually suggest tune in and merely to be shock and amaze and and have one jaw drop and at what pass for journalism on msnbc .
