Keith Olbermann
Keith Olbermann is a liberal commentator and activist, [1] 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.

Olbermann sees intelligence... unlike you people here.....
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,[2] 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, includikljsdbglsagh

24 controversy
In January of 2007, Olbermann attacked the popular FOX television series 24 with rather bizarre claims.
On the January 16, 2007 edition of Olbermann's show, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, he accused the widely acclaimed 24 of "fearmongering" and being "propaganda designed to keep people thinking about domestic terrorism to keep us scared," asking, "is it a program-length commercial for one political party?" Olbermann also asked the rhetorical question, "if the irrational right can claim that the news is fixed to try to alter people's minds or that networks should be boycotted for nudity or for immorality, shouldn't those same groups be saying 24 should be taken off of TV because it's naked brainwashing?"
This was in response to the January 15 broadcast of 24 in which a low-grade nuclear weapon is detonated in the Valencia community of Los Angeles by a terrorist group. Fox Commentator Cal Thomas had written an editorial in which he advised, "Watch the TV drama 24 for what could be our prophetic and imminent future, with a nuclear device exploding in major cities."
On the February 2, 2007 edition of Countdown, Olbermann gave the show the "bronze" in his nightly "Worst Person in the World" segment.
