Keith Olbermann gets in touch with his inner Ed Murrow
Posted by Jill | 10:12 PM
Keith Olbermann makes no bones about Edward R. Murrow being his journalistic role model. At the same time as he can't decide whether he wants his show to be The Daily Show with real news, or real news with snark, the ghost of Ed Murrow never strays far from his shoulder. Tonight, Murrow whispered in his hear, and what came out is the kind of masterful, important news commentary that is also a cri de coeur -- the likes of which we haven't seen since Murrow took down Joe McCarthy. The target tonight is Donald Rumsfeld. Crooks and Liars has the video here.
