Review of Olbermann's Suspension of Rationality about 24


Paul Levinson skillfully raises the question of commentators creating controversy as an end in itself.
Political opinions are as much about entertainment are they are about issues. Suspense whether terror related or not, sells and this is what 24 feeds off of.
It's just as absurd as believing Keith Olbermann has created net neutral opinions as it is to say Bill O"Reilly has created a No Spin Zone.
I say this despite the fact I like Mr. Olbermann.
