"Rasmussen is founder and president of Rasmussen Reports and co-founder of the sports network ESPN."
I didn't know Rasmussen was a co-founder of ESPN. Does that mean he had a hand in hiring Keith Olberman? I hope not, I like Scott and wouldn't want to think poorly of him.

He and his dad started the network in 1979 and I believe they sold it to Walt Disney INC in the 80s at some point.

Waaaay back in the early 90s, Craig Kilborn and Keith Olbermann made a very entertaining pair on ESPN Sportscenter. I used to enjoy their show quite a bit.
Back then they just did a funny delivery of sports news and highlights. No politics. And you couldn't tell that either or both of them had, er, personality defects.
