Olbermann’s Nazi Salute

After a relaxing 24-hour break from TVNewser, these are some the e-mails I came home to:

“IF O’REILLY DID A NAZI SALUTE, YOU WOULD BE CALLING FOR HIM TO BE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

It apparently didn’t shock the reporters, because B&C was the only publication to mention it. But it did shock OlbermannWatch and other bloggers. I suspect we’ll hear more about this…
