The LA Times reports that Olbermann has found a way to deliver the news in an interesting format:
More than any other news show on cable, MSNBC’s “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” is us.
This has less to do with the host than the format, which is all about ranking things and listing things, prioritizing information in the way we’ve become acclimated to consume it: as somebody’s — anybody’s — best-of. [..]
But it’s the structure of “Countdown,” which averaged 721,000 viewers in July, a bump for the show, that seems so savant-like.
Tonight, Olbermann will moderate an AFL-CIO sponsored presidential forum, beginning at 7 pm on MSNBC. See more details here.
UPDATE: More from the Chicago Sun-Times.
