Keith Olbermann has opened up a Countdown website which will not only feature clips from his new show once it debuts but which will, he pledges, be full of web-only content. I already don't like the logo and music, and Olbermann's commentaries are getting a bit too intense and angry for me. I like a lot of what the guy says but I often don't like the way he says it…or the fact that he sometimes turns what could be a two-minute commentary into a six-minute one by rephrasing everything three times.
It's starting to look like the idea here is to turn Current TV into what right-wingers wrongly think MSNBC (and maybe even CNN) already are…although Ed Schultz may already be there.
