Olbermann Talks Office Politics, Other Politics (Tweety infuriated by KO's Power MSNBC)
If MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann were to write a book about Office Politics 101, he'd call it "Do As I Write, Not As I Did for 20 Years." Olbermann discusses office politics and other issues in the February issue of Men's Journal magazine, out yesterday.

In the interview with Paul Tullis, one focus is Olbermann's habit of, "trashing people publicly, even his employers."

But he seems to be doing well for himself in the office now. Tullis cites a senior executive at MSNBC, who says, "Keith runs MSNBC. It's been an amazing turnaround, because two years ago they were going to cancel him. Because of his success, he's in charge. Chris Matthews is infuriated by it."

The article also touches on Olbermann's goals, in the context of his main competition, Fox News Channel. "I'd like it to be the accurate counterweight to Fox. My attitude is not to counterbalance them because they’re conservatives; it's counterbalancing because some of their stuff is outlandishly in violation of every tenet of responsible broadcasting," he says.

2. Oh yeah Tweety is PISSED at KO...Jealousy is such an ugly sin.
Just watch the repeat of the debate. tweety tries in vain to joust with Kieth mentally. He looses every round getting brushed off like a gnat by Kieth.
Tweety is sooo freaking jealous.Poor lil weepubwican shill.

4. At times, Keith just stares at Tweety like purple gremlins are coming out of his mouth.
I think KO can't believe the crap that's coming out.

5. See, pundits? Question the RW talking points and you get to run a network!
You would think more of those news readers would see the light and follow suit.

6. I think if he actually had major input a few more changes would occur
Like maybe Tucker Carlson. How is what he does any different than FOX News. Or Morning Joe. These are right wing shills that spew LIES as easily as Limbaugh and O'Really. I would like to see Keith address the things that are said on this Network as well as what is said on FOX...Until he does that he certainly does not run the Network IMO.

7. But then they won't get invited to the best DC parties.
We can't have that, can we?

Keith rules--because he's OBJECTIVE. Thank God for some of that.
