Open Letter to MSNBC

Thu May 15, 2008 at 11:22:15 AM PDT

Dear Sirs-

I have only recently begun watching your channel. Seldom do I watch TV, especially cable.

However, that fact that you feature someone as intelligent and eloquent as Keith Olbermann has changed that.

It is so refreshing to have someone on TV who doesn't talk down to me. Thank you so much for giving this journalist a forum of his own and for having him as the anchor on primary nights.

His "Special Comment" on May 14 about Bush & golf was important television, a near oxymoron in today's world. I watched with bated breath. I have re-watched this segment on your website in the hours since it first aired. I will be buying Oral-B dental care products today in support of their sponsorship of the "Special Comment" on the website.

Finally, it may sound trite, but the only TV show I historically watched "religiously" was "The Simpsons". Since I have begun tuning into "Countdown", which sadly airs at the same time locally here in Sacramento, I don't watch even 1 minute of my former favorite show. Keith Olbermann's show is the only program on TV I cannot bear to miss.

UPDATE:
Please follow up with an email/gratitude letter to MSNBC!
