Former sports reporters always have the most entertaining styles in “legitimate” print and broadcast venues.
Keith Olbermann, host of Countdown with… on cable channel MSNBC, proves that point weekdays from 5-6 p.m.
Olbermann used to be a sports anchor for the NBC and ABC networks, clearly a waste of his inimitable ability to blend pop culture and real news with tongue in cheek.
His clipped delivery, double-entendres and dry humor glue the viewer to his every word about current events.
Winner of an Edward R. Murrow Award for coverage of 9/11 events, Olberman also has 11 Golden Mike Awards for excellence in television and radio.
Finally, a real journalistic alternative to FOX foxes and other pretty faces. (1 JUNE 2003)
