Hopefully He's Better than Rush and Dennis Miller

Keith Olbermann is coming back to do some more TV sports...I just switched over to Football Night in America for a moment and was interested to see him.

I'm not the world's biggest sports fan, but I find him highly entertaining and he may end up drawing me in to the pre-show on occasion...

Kudos...now just get an easier-to-remember domain name and turn off the auto-sound, boys, it's really friggin' annoying.

Random Post of the Day With The Obvious Observation

I posted here earlier in the week about how the NYTimes really had it out for Rupert Murdoch and his proposed buyout of the Wall Street Journal.  They used up a lot of real estate laying out the case that as owner of his media empire, he uses it, in part, to advance his agenda.

Since I've had my head planted snugly up my ass for the bulk of my life, I was shocked to be made aware that something like this could take place.

It's a good thing the Times has no ideas it advances and I will always be able to rely on them for the straight poop on how it is in the world.

Now Keith Olbermann, who works for a little mom-and-pop outfit that some people know as General Electric, has jumped on this bandwagon, too.  

He's been crying bloody murder the last week or so on the proposed purchase.

I have no problem pointing out how one disagrees with Murdoch's political viewpoints, but I knew the bride before she was a virgin...and so did you.

Is That a Peackock in Your Pocket or Are You Just Happy to Get the Cho Seung-Hui Tape?

MSNBC's self-congratulatory coverage of itself last night was really pretty lame.   Keith Olbermann had News Div President Steve Capus on who was, near as I could tell, taking part in some kind of recreational activity on a Craftmatic Bed.

It's not polite to talk with your mouth full, Steven.  Didn't your mommy teach you that?

"What were they celebrating," you ask?

After getting a package from the person responsible for the worst shooting on American soil in our history, this Paragon of Virtue, decided to share this information with the police and in doing so, held off on reporting it for a few hours.

Better buy your ticket to Stockholm, boys!  Desmond Tutu better get his ass out of the way!  The Do-Gooders are coming!

It's been a busy April for Capus, though.  Just last week, he was on with Keith and other NBC hosts throwing his shoulder out, patting himself on the back for making the tough call that it was time to get rid of Imus just after all the major advertisers pulled out.

If this is the beginning of a trend, a sort of Real World view of the newsroom and the decisions they make, I'm mildly interested, but not if it turns into the informational equivalent of wartime propaganda.  

They are up to something over there at the Peacock, though.  There are times when I work at home and have seen their "behind the scenes" shots when a producer with headphones on whispers to the 
host what is coming up.  When I first saw this, it struck me as ripping off SNL more than MTV, though.  I was wating for Contessa Brewer to walk into the back room and break into song with someone!
