Keith Olbermann and the violent cosmology of the new news

The New Yorker has a very good warts_and_all profile of Keith Olbermann, my favorite op-edivist. Good quote from Tom Brokaw about the transformation of news by the mashup of traditional channels, cable, and new media:

We are creating a new universe, and it has all kinds of new laws and science and physics coming into play as well, in this information
world. And you’ve got planets out there colliding with each other, new life forms taking shape; others have drifted too close to the sun, and they’ve burned up. And we don’t know how it’s all going to settle down. And it has, now and forevermore, a radiant effect.
