Olbermann the New Ed Murrow? — The Nation, 2007-09-20

The launch of Katie Couric a year ago as the anchor of the CBS Evening News was hailed by CBS as the biggest thing in news since, well, the invention of denture fixative commercials. It was also the biggest flop. The CBS Evening News Without Dan Rather or Bob Schieffer had its lowest ratings since Nielsen began tracking evening news shows in 1987.
…
In short, what CBS (and all the others) need is a new Ed Murrow. Good news! There’s already one out there on the launchpad who has demonstrated his qualifications. I’m talking about Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. He has the journalistic chops and the mind, heart, instincts and courage.

We TiVo and watch Countdown every night. The chiron and graphics are a little obnoxious at first, but they fade into the background very quickly.

I’m not old enough to remember Edward R. Murrow, but based on what I’ve read, clips of Murrow’s broadcasts and of course Good Night, and Good Luck I would have to say that Olbermann is Murrow’s obvious successor.
