If only the 'liberal media' would follow Keith Olbermann's example, and fight back against the right
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 04:20 AM by Angry Mollusk
Keith Olbermann is one of the few people in the televised media with the courage to take on the right wing slime machine head on, and he always succeeds in exposing the Republicans for what they are- liars and hypocrites. Keith's commentaries on the lies and abuses of the Bush administration would have done his hero Edward R Murrow proud. Bill O'Reilly is constantly exposed by Keith as the yammering imbecile he is- Why can't the so called 'liberal media' (if such a thing really exists) follow Keith's example, and go after these bastards on the right?

Keith is one of the few people who is not afraid to fight back- and he always delivers knock out blows using intellect and facts.
All the right wingers at FOX do is call people names and spin lies- Kieth uses the truth- which is the ultimate weapon. It's amusing how right wingers call Keith a 'communist' or 'an enemy of freedom'- if anything, he is fighting FOR freedom, and is one of the few voices of sanity in a world gone mad..

1. They called Edward R. Murrow a communist, too
Murrow is Keith's hero.

I don't agree with Keith on everything, but I admire the hell out of him for saying what virtually no one else in corporate media will touch.

2. They only let Keith do that to keep up the illusion of freedom.
The people he's railing against employ him.

5. So I guess he has only the illusion of a show with the illusion of comments on it
railing against the administration.

Oh well. Just as good for me as the real thing.

6. Exactly. Media personalities don't decide content and context, owners and editors do

4. DUers could learn from Keith--and try defending Democrats instead of attacking them.

7. They ARE the right. Why would they fight back against themselves?
