    The other half of America

    I haven't been a follower of Keith Olbermann because I have largely given up watching or listening to broadcast news out of frustration...frustration at the protection of Bush and his policies I have witnessed coming from the mainstream news. The press helped Bush push us into the Iraq debacle; it helped get him get reelected with its intense coverage of the Swift Boaters, etc.,etc. The internet serves as my news source---I can control the noise a little better there.

    It is reassuring to know that the media is becoming interested in the other half of America which clearly voted against Bush.

    Bush and Cheney are scary...they blithely step all over the constitution to achieve their ends and they are wrong in their approach to terrorism---completely wrong. Their macho ways are disgusting, juvenile, and, yes, unAmerican. They have made more enemies for America rather than protect us. How the public can give Bush high marks for fighting terrorism is mind boggling!

    Good for Olbermann...I'll tune into his commentary.
