MSNBC's Kieth Olberman, named "U2 and MTV" as his "Worst Persons In The World" for building a 6 foot wall around their stage during their concert at the site of the Berlin wall.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/ns/msnbc_tv-countdown_with_keith_olbermann#33702337

Apparently someone thought it would be a good idea to build a 6 foot barrier to keep those who did not have the free tickets for the free concert. Building a wall to celebrate the fall of the Berlin wall? Not a great idea. If they did need a barrier, then a simple fence would have been a better way to go at it.

he is a bit pompous I agree, but I like to watch him as an antidote to all the right wing nuts on American television. Olberman is not the only one talking about this though:

f****** MTV!  Angry Angry Angry  and unfortunately the boys are the ones getting negative publicity because of their history.  i hate it when these things happen.  they just give haters another ridiculous and unfounded reason to dislike U2.  im sure they can't be all that happy about peoples' reactions.

Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World" segment is meant in jest.

I'd rather get my news from him, then say... Glenn Beck.

I'd rather get mine from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert than either of them.  Cheesy

Colbert rocks, for sure.

But when I want something more serious, I'll watch Olbermann or Maddow.

God bless anyone who makes an honest effort to find serious reporting and commentary.

God help anyone who thinks such things can be found with Keith Olbermann.

I can't stand Hannity or even Beck but I would take ten thousand becks over 1 Olbermann. That guy is incredibly incompetent and arrogant. Way to many lefties on TV overall. And way to many righties on Fox.

What ever happened to independent objective Journalism? I understand Olbermann and Beck are each commentators and not 'journalists' but the problem is that almost EVERYONE on TV is a Commentator even though they might say they're a journalist. There is WAY too much opinion on TV nowadays. The left owns TV, the right owns Radio. Its all about money and if its not about money its about ideology and both of those things get us nowhere in regards to accurate news. Or at least they shouldn't.

They are all jokes.  Listen to Glenn Beck and he actually makes sense.  Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are on Comedy Central..how can you even take that seriously?

Here here. If I need a commentator on American politics, I may turn to Maddow but... that's about it- Colbert and Stewart beat them all. But I'd rather watch ANY of them than Beck. *Shudders*
