That would be MSNBC, actually.

Edward R. Murrow would probably have only MSNBC's
viewership if he were around today, given the
networks' extreme timidity.  It's a measure of
MSNBC's desperation over its ratings that even it
is keeping Olbermann on the air.  Remember it canceled
Phil Donahue a few years ago, when his ratings were
the highest on MSNBC, because he was too liberal.

The channel has fallen on hard times since then,
so Olbermann's job is probably safe, because he's
become a hero to progressive viewers and is making
MSNBC competitive with CNN in that time slot and is
even creeping up on O'Reilly on Fox.
