Lawrence O'Donnell

I read Lawrence O'Donnell as a sharp, verbal intellect who built a career on the power of argument. A Harvard-educated journalist anchoring his own MSNBC program, he is best known as a forceful liberal commentator, but the detail I find most interesting is his other life as a screenwriter. He works the same raw material, language and persuasion, in both news and storytelling. There is something valuable about a host willing to plant his flag and make a clear case on air. Whatever your politics, that kind of conviction is increasingly rare, and I respect it.
