Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" is one of the most talked about programs on television, says
Mark Lisheron. He wonders if the MSNBC anchor is the future of TV news;
Glenn Garvin hopes not. "Olbermann is a media cause celebre and a popular flop," says the Miami Herald TV critic. "To me, he's simply the flip side of
Bill O'Reilly, a guy rewriting the wires and sprinkling it with random political rants, better gag lines, but a more predictable point of view."
