re: #34 researchok

I disagree about Olbermann.

Before him, there was nobody broadcasting on TV from the left who was willing to actually get angry about progressive issues and show it in a visceral way. He galvanized progressives in a way that moderate and center left talking heads utterly failed to do.

Olbermann did have an effect on getting attention to left of center issues and health care in particular. You may not like him or agree with him, but it is inaccurate to say he was not relevant.
