New Yorker Article on Keith Olbermann

Overall, a pretty fair treatment of Keith. Although, as others have noted, this from the article confuses me (in reference to his "Special Comments":
His bosses loved it. “I think we’re onto something,” the president of NBC News, Steve Capus, told me. “That’s what we keep hearing from the audience, more and more, is that they appreciate that we have people who are actually speaking truth to power, or being transparent in their own personal viewpoints.” That’s another way of saying that liberals, after many failed attempts, seem finally to have found their own Bill O’Reilly.

How many are many failed attempts? All I can think of is Donahue.
