So, I still watch Olbermann most days. I've given up on having a great deal of respect for him. He's so snide and smirky and I'll never have a great deal of respect for anyone who spends more than 2 seconds on Britney Spears news. However, somewhat softening this is this interview. He is, certainly, aware of his tone. It's not that he can't control it or that he thinks no one notices. He wants to be snarky, as he puts it, and take it all only-so-seriously. So at least he's aware, that's important.
I do think there's a crazy amount of bubble going on, though, watching these shows. Seeing the same 5 reporters or guests over and over w/ the same views, you think the whole world agrees with you and them. But that's not really any better than believing the world according to Rush or O'Reilly. Gotta branch out!
Anyway, that's the story!
