Wow. I knew that Reuters was a lefty radical chic outfit masquerading as a news organization, as abundantly documented by Little Green Footballs here, and here, and here, but TCG didn’t know just how far over Reuters was till we read this from Reuters’ Ray Richmond:
“While there is no argument that Olbermann can at times be self-indulgent, somewhat arrogant, over the top and stridently passionate, he is also the most compelling news personality of his generation. Love him or hate him, he is a charismatic, righteously indignant force of nature who is inspiring fervent cheers and detesting jeers in equal measure.”
It’s a free country, of course, and so Reuters is free to tout Olbermann for sainthood, as if he is some sort of successor to Edward R. Murrow or maybe Bobby Kennedy. OK, fine. But by the same token, the rest of us are free to know Reuters for what it is.
