    Just doing his job

    Liberals and progressives are not looking for someone to hand out talking points, or arguing for our side. All we want is that the media do its job: report on what is happening in an open and transparent way. Olbermann is not perfect, but he beats the heck out of his competition at that.

    The reporters he gets, Dana Milbank, Richard Wolfe (sp?) and so on, are free to say what they think they are seeing, and to ignore the spin they are tossed. That is enough.

    Anyway, Michael Musto is probably right about Suri.
