Is Keith Olbermann The Future of Journalism?

That's the question asked - and at least, to some degree, answered - by American Journalism Review in a long look at the phenomenon of Keith Olbermann's success with Countdown on MSNBC.

My one major reaction was the question asked of how much the show blurs fact with opinion.

OK, I'll accept the premise of the question.

However, considering the way the mainstream media portrays so much today - for example, frequently President Bush is portrayed as a victim of circumstances when, the rest of the time, he pounds his chest and insists he's the leader of the freaking world - it's hard to call Olbermann out for a practice that not just exists but abounds.
