Charlatan, good point on the left vs. right. I find Olbermann a left-leaning centrist at best. There are actually few influential voices on the left in America. At least, I hear little coming across the border here. Political "discourse" (i.e. "commentary") is very right-heavy. America, generally, is rather conservative. Its political figures are full of centrists and the right-wing.
It should be said at this point: both Olbermann and Hannity are rabble-rousers. That is their business.
