More quotes by Keith Olbermann
I'm difficult for management. That's why I have the reputation because nobody challenges management.
Keith Olbermann
It's not about 'NBC is evil.' It's about that media structure - CBS, ABC, CNN, even some of the smaller operations are now multinationals, with these extraordinarily diverse holdings.
Keith Olbermann
I'm not an anarchist. I believe in government.
Keith Olbermann
If you make a decision in your life, even one as eminently logical and self-improving as Why'd you start washing your hair every day? and you start getting questioned hourly about it, you're going to start second-guessing yourself.
Keith Olbermann
Your anger will cool into hardened passionate insight if you wait a day. Most of the things that make me angry I let them sit. The heat that remains will be sufficient. The stuff that evaporates is the stuff that would have simply offended or made it histrionic.
Keith Olbermann
Fox News is hated because they're elitists, and the worst winners television's ever seen.
Keith Olbermann
I have achieved what I wanted to achieve. I'm better off at some sort of independent place where they not only like what I produce but also trust me to be the one to produce it.
Keith Olbermann
The idea of negotiating with the President of the United States runs contrary to everything that the Republicans have done since January 20, 2009.
Keith Olbermann
It's very tough to get yourself around the idea that there could be a mechanism being used or abused to restrict and alter the society in which we live.
Keith Olbermann
Al Qaeda really hurt us, but not as much as Rupert Murdoch has hurt us, particularly in the case of Fox News. Fox News is worse than Al Qaeda - worse for our society. It's as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan ever was.
Keith Olbermann
You know the Art Rule: Do something that entertains/interests YOU, if you're lucky it'll do the same for others.
Keith Olbermann
At Current, television is all we do - that's our business. We don't have amusement parks I have to worry about, we don't have environmental cases against us, we don't have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.
Keith Olbermann
What was the more likely cause of the Oklahoma City bombing: talk radio or Bill Clinton and Janet Renos hands-on management of Waco, the Branch Davidian compound?...Obviously, the answer is talk radio. Specifically Rush Limbaughs hate radio....Frankly, Rush, you have that blood on your hands now and you have had it for 15 years.
Keith Olbermann
I stand up to people.
Keith Olbermann
Even on the greatest teams, there's always one role player.
Keith Olbermann
Reagan's dead, and he was a lousy President.
Keith Olbermann
I just think if you're 44 years old and you're not smarter than you were when you were 35 years old or 25 years old, just stay in your room.
Keith Olbermann
The corporation is one of the great unheralded human inventions of destruction. It is a way to absolve from any personal liability a bunch of people. They form together in a massive ID and they do whatever they want.
Keith Olbermann
Matt Millen, you draft a wide receiver every year. HOW DARE YOU SIR, HOW DARE YOU!
Keith Olbermann
Because I am so intensely identified with opinion and analysis and contextualization, I think I just need, for my own psychological benefit, a small island in which I can stand and say, 'I'm going to sit this one out.'
