Reply #17: I appreciate the dissenting replies

Sigh. Obviously I realize it sounds paranoid. It doesn't even affect me-I've had the digital cable for years. But the singling out of the only news on cable that has any real dissent-Countdown-is just too much of a win for them. And I'm not the only one.

I have received a number of complaints over actions by Comcast TV. Apparently they are only providing CNN and Fox news in their basic package. The recent move of MSNBC to digital has created great concern on the part of Democrats that the news is slanted toward a more conservative message.

Comcast has finally silenced Keith Olbermann’s biting special comments that assail the foolishness of the Bush administration’s policies. Olbermann, the anchor of MS-NBC’s news program Countdown, has been airing a series of Edward R. Murrow-like special comments that have been an astonishing departure from the bland DoubleSpeak of network news broadcasts. Olbermann’s special commentaries exhibit a degree of critical thinking that is unmatched by any other news program on cable or broadcast television, excepting of course the satirical Daily Show and Colbert Report.

When I think of the things Keith has said on Teevee-things about the president that are NEVER heard anywhere else. Calls for resignation. Calls for shame over torture. Okay I cannot just dismiss it. I just can't. Keith Olbermann is like the tiny light in the dark-which ironically is just enough light to know I'm NOT crazy. The propaganda is.
