Shister Shills for Olbermann?

TCG was always a fan of The Philadelphia Inquirer's Gail Shister. She did a great job covering the industry; I thought that Shister got a bad deal when she was demoted by the Inky, from TV columnist to general metro reporter. And I was happy to see that she picked up a part time gig with TV Newser.
But it certainly seems to me that Shister has lost her judgment, along with her plum writing gig. It's not just TCG, but also Olbermann Watch, Inside Cable News, and Jossip that have noticed how Shister is seemingly in the tank for Keith Olbermann. "Fawning" is how OW described her coverage of treatment.
Which is interesting, because--just a wild guess here--Shister seems like she would be a strong feminist, and the MSNBC man doesn't have such a great record of respecting women. Heck, Olby even lied to Shister about being an only child, when in fact, he has a sister.
C'mon Gail, stick up for the sisters a little!
