OWS: "Olbermann has left all the other cable and network TV journalists in the dust."

Baltimore's McKeldin Square:  "Confluence of corruption."

Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik: "I have been watching in admiration lately as night after night he's covered the Occupy protest movement like no one else in the media .I am  surprised that he has not received more praise for getting to this major story before anyone else and understanding the massive sociology of it better than anyone yet."

"Those college students and young adults who were dancing in the streets on election night in 2008 after seeing TV coverage of  Barack Obama in Grant Park are some of the same people sitting in tents in the cold and rain in American cities tonight. And no one in the media speaks to them and is telling their story like Keith Olbermann."

"Olbermann has been telling their story every night while cable channels like CNN have been  sending smug, superficial anchor-hosts like Erin Burnett down to the Occupy Wall Street encampment  to ridicule those who are protesting. And they are doing it in empty-headed, right-wing, 1960's, pot-and-bongo-drum stereotype-think worthy of Spiro Agnew -- or Pat Buchanan. . . . I have to admit, Olbermann has left all the other cable and network TV journalists in the dust on this big story. And by telling it so passionately, while others at first ignored it, he has been providing a great public service. Yes, and that means he is legitimately operating on this story in the tradition of his hero, Edward R. Murrow."

1. Murrow he ain't and never will be.
2. Tax scofflaw Olbermann's Current TV pay is reported to be $10 mil a year. It's easy to "understand the massive sociology" from a high-paid perch. I want to understand the massive forces supporting the "sociology."
3. Dust devil Olbermann, collecting ratings dust, desperately requires a hook to boost Current's laughable numbers.
4. Zurawik, what are you inhaling? 

Valid point about the shallow, biased coverage from empty-headed, self-important dust bunny Erin Burnett.
