    Do you want to be taken seriously?

    Hey Olbermann, I know you are reading this and you've heard it before from me, but here goes again:

    I love the first two segments of your hour-long show.

    Then it turns into total useless shit.

    Top Three Soundbites

    Celebrity News

    News My Producers are Forcing me... (bullshit)

    Worst Persons in the World

    I know you like Channeling Edward R. Murrow, but if ever came back to life and saw what you do, he'd strangle you on the air.

    Murrow hated the whorehouse that broadcasting turned into. It helped make his decision to walk away from it.

    Do you really want to be like Murrow? Then cut out the frivilous crap.
