Keith Olbermann’s new show on Current TV is reviewed by Mary McNamara in the L.A. Times:
She argues, well I think, that Olbermann should display more humility because his uber-image as a media superstar undermines the content of his message.
She points out, Olbermann is…
refreshing, and singular, in the clarity of his mission, which is to defend the liberal point of view with the same sort of take-no-prisoners rhetoric that conservative pundits like Bill O’Reilly have wielded so effectively.
Herein lies the problem. Can humility go hand-in-hand with the above mission statement? It would be nice, (sometimes his self-congratulatory moments make me wince) but is humility what we want from our spewing, left-wing, go-to-the-mat, take-down guy? I think not.
