NBC Chastised by Congressional Black Caucus Members for Lack of Diversity

UPDATE: Fantastic video analyzing two weeks in the life of Keith
Olbermann and his (nearly all white) guests below the fold. From
February 4 through February 18, Keith had 48 guests - and TWO were
black. One, actually - the Washington Post's Eugene Robinson appeared twice. 4% - now THAT'S diverse. Bravo and kudos to Broliath for said stellar production.
MSNBC hosts Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and the egregiously stentorian and officious Keith Olbermann
have made their warped interpretation of the conservative and TEA Party
movements as racist a staple of their oft-ridiculed and rarely watched
television programs.
These three (and other MSNBC hosts) have engaged in this slander with regularity and fervor.
...
Well Olbermann's explanation, and all of the race-baiting "reporting"
done by his vile network, apparently wasn't nearly good enough for
Congresswomen Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas) and Maxine Waters
(D-California), two members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
These two Congresspeople are members of the House Judiciary Committee,
which yesterday convened to examine the proposed merger of NBC and
television-internet company Comcast. They find the diversity of NBC to
be sorely lacking.
Here is a video called Countbrown, where all the diversity on Olbermann's show is on display:
