The Olbermann factor

The MSNBC maverick gives Salon the countdown on his anti-Bush orations, battling with Bill O'Reilly, and the nauseating truth about cable news.

    9-11 and Gaping Hole Still Unrepaired and Not Rebuilt - K. Olbermann's essay

    K.O. is WONDERFUL. Finally, someone with the articulate ability and fortitude to speak back to this embarrassment of a president. This president who took office in an embarrassing scandal of missing votes, misread votes, etc. This president who was somehow saved by the lack of support from an uninspired and dumbfounded nation by the sudden and horrific events of 9-11. This president who either cannot preside successfully because he doesn't know how, or who is unwilling, doing only the minimum required by his VP and cronies to amass more money out of oil-producing countries where they are already entrenched. Now I hear him on the television prattling the same old useless message - be afraid...be very afraid, iknowing full well that when America wakes up and stops being afraid, it will realize it doesn't need George Bush for anything. When will everyone wake up?

    K.O. gives me hope that I might watch the news again and hear something besides the organized lies and mistruths and propaganda and spin that this administration's party put out over the airwaves to insulate this president.

    K.O. I salute you, I thank you, and I hope your network supports you! If they don't, it will be the last time I watch anything on MSNBC. Thank you.
