I would agree if Olbermann was a news anchor. But the talking heads shows are not designed to be impartial-they are built around the host and their opinions.
MSNBC has some humdinger policies. They do not allow their hosts to disagree with each other if they are on different shows (in other words, neither Olbermann nor Scarborough could voice disagreement with something the other said on their shows-that rule was what was at the heart of the Donny Deutsch dust-up earlier this year.
