NBC has recently removed Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann as the co-anchors from the political coverage and make them commentators. I first must say I thought that the banter between the two was childish at times and something needed to change. I was disappointed that Chris Matthews was leaving, as I feel that he is a good journalist. He is kind of a pit bull, but he goes after both the right and the left. Olbermann on the other hand is the farthest thing from a journalist. He is a pundit for the left plain and simple. Just as Bill O'reilly and Shawn Hannity are the furthest thing from fair and balanced, Olbermann is not balanced on the both sides. These pundits like O'reilly, Hannity, and Olbermann should not be allowed to anchor news coverage. They spit rhetoric like it is fact. Fox at least has kept O'reilly in the pundit role. These pundits passing as journalists muddy the waters for uniformed Americans who turn to these people for their "news"
