Howard Rosenberg of the L.A. Times skewers Keith Olbermann, calling him bad for journalism, but his antics are symptomatic of the decline of broadcast journalism.
A generation ago, an on-air broadcaster giving his opinion on a newscast would be met with horror. Newsmen worried about Walter Cronkite giving his opinion on the Vietnam War. That might as well have been a thousand years ago. Today "newsmen," and I use that term loosely, can give their opinions without any kind of analysis or twist the news to fit their preconceived opinions, and nobody bats an eye.
Take a look a Olbermann's broadcasts looking at supposedly the news of the day as it related to Hillary Clinton. He could NEVER keep his own views out of his dubious "reporting."
