Reply #4: Someone Protests Too Much

[KharmaTrain]

I'm glad KO posted about this, but he just added more fuel to the fire by doing it.

He didn't have to say he was told not to cover the story...cause it was more implied than said. In short, you don't shit where you sleep. It's easy to throw Santelli under the bus cause he's a bit player...and one whose contract was just about up with the network. A good chance he'll be gone, if he isn't already. But Cramer is another story. He's a "franchise"...a very visible figure on a network commonly owned by GE. Tearing down Cramer is crapping to close to home. KO knows it and trying to palm it off as someone trying to stir shit on the internet is disengenuous.

I noticed this when Timmeh Russert died. I had little respect for this beltway shill, but he was all but diefied at that network, and KO played the loyal foot soldier. While he's been criticized in the past of not being a team player, KO knows he's the meal ticket now at MSNBC and to stay that way, he needs to stay in the good graces of Steve Camus and the GE hierarchy.
