Olbermann as Murrow/Cronkite

He would like to be, I think.  He is a person of good will.  I think he may be hampered in part by the constraints of the current news format that demands that the news be "infotainment," and his demeanor is also molded by those constraints. 

But I caught in passing that he plans to devote an entire news hour to one of his "special comments" in support of health care reform--& I wouldn't be surprised if he comes out strongly for a single payer plan. 

I know that news anchors have editorialized before, but I am wondering if this is some kind of first.
