MSNBC's Idea of Balance: Matthews, Olbermann to Anchor Coverage By Matthew Sheffield (Bio \| Archive) November 6, 2006 - 20:48 ET With marketing decisions like this you have to wonder why MSNBC is even bothering to compete with Fox News: Left-wing commentators Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann will be anchoring the network's Election Night coverage. What better way to get non-liberal viewers to tune in to your channel than to have an anchor duo headed up by a former Democratic staffer who couldn't stop smiling at the thought that his fellow party members will take Congress and a genuine leftist who routinely calls Republicans nazis, fascists, terrorists, liars, and everything in between? As always, we'll be watching so you don't have to (Hat tip: Extreme Mortman).
