Matthew Sheffield (2006-04-23). "Liberal Bias at Wikipedia?". Newsbusters. The discussion revolves around Cox's attempts to edit Wikipedia's entry on MSNBC host Keith Olbermann to make it more politically neutral (a stated goal of the site) and to include facts that were left out. Cox contends that his changes were continually discarded by fans of Olbermann who monitor the article, seeking to ensure that it reflects their liberal views

Under the Countdown with Keith Olbermann Podcast heading, please change

The main, a dog in need, a headlines section, worst person, a sports rundown and the number one story either being a story of Olbermann's (usually his experience in the news media) or a short story from James Thurber on Fridays.

On August 1, 2022, Olbermann began producing and hosting a weekday podcast titled "Countdown with Keith Olbermann", for iHeart Media.[110] When introduced it typically consisted of a similar five block show from the TV days with three blocks changed out. The main, a dog in need, a headlines section, worst person, a sports rundown and the number one story either being a story of Olbermann's (usually his experience in the news media) or a short story from James Thurber on Fridays.
Citing the desire to slow down his output due to his age, Olbermann announced on his podcast in late 2024 that he would be cutting the frequency of his podcasts down to two a week, plus occasional "bulletins" as the news warrants. His sports and dog segments have been reduced to only occasional appearances, and the James Thurber segments appear to have been dropped. 104.230.22.146 (talk) 17:54, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Should note that's not even accurate anymore, as he stopped doing Thurber entirely (probably because he read them all). A dog in need appears to be sporadic, if ever done, and he's vacillated from retiring completely one day, to trying to start a revolution the next. Unfortunately, he's still talking about his ex-girlfriends, which is the worst part of the show. Viriditas (talk) 22:55, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Ultraodan (talk) 08:37, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
