This is kind of interesting. I found this video while trolling a right-wing site or two. I know, it's a sickness. Anyway, the point of the clip is to point out how biased and wrong it is for Keith Olbermann to be a partisan news commentator, and also to be contributing to a hard-news story (in this case, the State of the Union Address).
They may have a point. The line between news, opinion and entertainment has been blurred, probably irrevocably. But the irony missed by the maker of the video (Johnny Dollar of Olbermannwatch.com), is that this is a roundtable of FOX "News" pundits discussing the topic.
As Cal Thomas says in the video, FOX is to blame for this sort of thing. Where the commentators lose me is when they try to alledge that anyone at FOX is a straight-news reporter. Shepard Smith may usually report the news, but the slant is still there. And who else? Chris Wallace? Uh, no. Brit Hume??? Are you kidding me, man? And I could be wrong, but didn't those two participate in a Presidential debate?
