Brandon, I happen to enjoy intelligent, fact-based news reporting. I noticed that most of the anti-Olbermann posts on this board revolve around politics, a subject I admit to having little interest in. You may attempt to paint me with a liberal brush, but you would be in error. As for the karmabites1 issue, Olbermann's private life has no impact on either my viewing habits, or how I conduct my personal life, or what my attitude is towards men/women/relationships. I prefer to live in the real world, thank you.

Brandon, go back to olbermannwatch.com where you belong.

None of the responses answered my question, sorry.

If you find Olbermann so unbearable, then why watch him and "Countdown," and, furthermore, take the time out to track down interviews and then post negative commentary on them?

Quoting from a left-wing blog and stating that "Countdown" is a comedy is hardly logical rebuttal.

Quanlin, I seem to remember when you were an Olbermann fan, so I am amused by your posts here.

If you find Olbermann so unbearable, then why watch him and "Countdown," and, furthermore, take the time out to track down interviews and then post negative commentary on them? (Personally, I'd like to know where you find the time.) I cannot understand the logic of many anti-Olbermann posters and bloggers who know so much more than the purported "superfans." I'd also like to understand the motives behind such actions as well.

In support of KarmaBitesTheBigOne, I agree with her observation regarding the karmabites1 blog. Olbermann acknowledges the site but admits to nothing.

I cannot, in all honesty, comment upon Keith's purported dismissal of his fellow employees since I personally know none of the members involved, nor the work environment of MSNBC itself. It would be unfair to take sides either way with such a paucity of information.
