formerly a sportscaster on ESPN. He currently hosts ''Countdown,'' a nightly program of misinformation presented as news and slanted commentary on [[MSNBC]]. Olbermann's show is known for an extreme liberal distortion of the issues, with [[conservatives]] rarely being invited to discuss news events. It is a classic example of the role of [[propaganda]] in modern American discourse and has contributed to the coarsening of political debate in [[America]]. Olbermann is also a co-host of NBC's ''Football Night in America''.

In a broadcast after the FBI made an arrest of four [[terror]] suspects for plot to attack JFK International Airport and plant explosives to blow up major jet-fuel supply tanks and pipelines,<ref>[http://newyork.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel07/plot060207.pdf Four Individuals Charged in Plot to Bomb John F. Kennedy International Airport], FBI Press Release New York Field Office, June 2 2007.</ref> Olbermann charged the [[Bush adminstration]] with [[conspiracy]]. JFK handles, on average, over 1,000 flights daily. The plotters were assisted by an international network of Muslim extremists from the United States, Guyana, and Caribbean, including senior leadership of [[Jamaat Al Muslimeen]] ("JAM"), which was responsible for a deadly coup attempt in Trinidad in 1990. In Olbermann's mind:
{{Cquote|the so-called plot happens to be revealed the day before the second [[2008 Presidential Election|Democratic presidential]] debate and, as the scandal continues to unfold over the firings of U.S. attorneys and their replacements by political hacks. The so-called plot is announced by the Bush-appointed U.S. attorney for Brooklyn, New York, and by the police chief of New York City, the father of a correspondent for [[Fox News Channel]]." Olbermann further theorized that President Bush was "fomenting yet another war...a new Cold War with Russia, possibly to obscure the unending nightmare in Iraq. <ref>[http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2007/06/05/publiceye/entry2886646.shtml Olbermann Overstates?,] Matthew Felling, ''CBS News'', June 5, 2007.</ref>}}
Matthew Felling of ''CBS News'' noted in the same piece, "Hammering away at things that aren’t there – or barely there – is a surefire way to dilute your message."
==Nazi salute controversy==
In July of 2006, the [[Anti-Defamation League]] filed a complaint to MSNBC because of Olbermann's repeated use of the [[Nazi]] salute while attacking popular commentator [[Bill O'Reilly]] on his television show and in public.<ref>[http://www.adl.org/media_watch/tv/20060728-MSNBC.htm Anti-Defamation League Letter to MSNBC], July 28, 2006.</ref>
