They'll have to fire everyone, lol. Or maybe only 80%.

Meh, someone new will step up. Rush Limbaugh's troubles opened the door for Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck in the radio mainstream. There is an enormous market for political vitriol.

why is this even an issue to them? Olbermann is opinion, right? They don't call his show "news" I assume.

I agree, but do you really think none of them make any political contributions, even though we know from numerous studies that over 80% of reporters self-describe themselves as democrat" or other "left" affiliation?
