This guy is ridiculous. I was a loyal user of MSNBC until last summer when I saw this moron orating about the fact that somebody was calling our beloved president, Barack Hussein. Olberman incredibly called this "slander." Slander is something that is not true. I never watched the channel since.

Anyone who give this cretin credibility should check into the adult section of special education.

DC's full of dumb ass politicians, he'd fit in perfectly.

While FAUX News beats the drum for the authoritarian right, and Olberman provides an opposing viewpoint from left of center, most of the US media reports exactly what the corporate elite wants you to believe.

He's not a politician; he doesn't fit the category.

Olbermann is definitely in the tank for Obama, he's never tried to hide it, even during the primaries. MSNBC has made a conscious effort to become the Fox News of the left and Olbermann is taking the lead role.

He's definitely a gifted broadcaster, probably the best commentator for the "liberal" viewpoint, but the sanctimonous preaching gets old after a while. I'd like to see if he'll defend Obama when he has to take unpopular stands that go against his views on civil liberties, the war and other issues.

My favorite bag on this guy is from my good friend Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, who said the following about MSNBC coverage of an Obama speech:

"There was a very special moment when Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews climaxed at the same time..."

Not a political figure ergo does not belong on this list. . .but indeed, KO is a shrill and polarizing figure who ranks high on anyone's irritating list. . .and I've heard the arguments ("He's the answer to Fauxws news!") Which is no answer at all- don't answer bad media with more bad media. . .but if the people want it. . .

I don't know if he's polarizing so much as he's just unlikeable, but he's not a politician.

Olberman is not a politician. Is there a list for professional prevaricators with  low IQ's?

The leading anchor on MSNBC, but could not make a claim toward impartiality.  A shameless partisan, working feverishly to get his candidate (Barry Hussein) elected.  He should have to register with the FEC as a staffer of the Obama campaign.  Certainly the most influential voice on this sham of a network, whose ratings are consistently way less than half of his hated and head-to-head competitor, Bill O'Reilly.  Shamelessly biased and unethical, he is leading MSNBC further in that direction as his approach is financially rewarded by this irresponsible network management, in their desperate search for ratings, American "journalism" follows, and suffers.
