Now it's on a minor cable network and seen by few (although the item is getting around on the net). What does it say for the quality of network news that they don't even have editorials anymore? (Eric Sevareid comes to mind.) When was the last time you saw someone face the camera and deliver a 10 minute opinion piece? A bit off topic, but if you are interested in seeing what the scene at the World Trade Center site looked like this 9/11 I've added a few short slides shows of the day to my annual series. (No pictures of ceremonies or grieving people, I leave that to the news media.)

He sucked. Big time. Then he became a local LA TV newscaster. He still sucked. Even more. Then he sucked on ESPN and now he sucks on MSNBC. As illogical, factually inaccurate, poorly reasoned, and self-righteous as always. Failing upwards. Though Olbermann's ratings may not be bad for the disaster that is MSNBC, given the ceiling on the number of people who can stand watching him, he's nevertheless a prime reason why MSNBC is unable to break out of its ratings doldrums. Can't someone (I mean you Dan Abrams) make him go away? Olbermann was once a local LA TV sports reporter. He sucked. Big time. Then he became a local LA TV newscaster. He still sucked. Even more.
