But can you post a redacted version of thenot-for-attribution emails from a person who has first-hand knowledge of GE's newsroom edict
It would be hard to publish them without revealing the person's identity, whose job would absolutely be at risk if his identity was disclosed, but the emails said that everything I wrote on Saturday about GE was dead-on; it documented examples of commentary about O'Reilly and Fox that was censored because of GE's edict during this time period; it provided details of who at GE was responsible and who at NBC communicated the decree; and it described proposals among MSNBC employees for protesting what had been done.
Obviously, I now have a statement from Olbermann affirming that everything I wrote was accurate, obviating any need or justification for disclosing that email evidence.
