Main Stream Media Outlets Acting Strangely
Sep 5th
Some of the most powerful media organizations in the US are doing their best to work in unison to discredit the work of US Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald into the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame. A number of unattributed editorials from the Times and the Post seem to be trying to discredit the investigation. Perhaps he is getting too close to the truth.
Keith Olbermann: Right on Target
Sep 1st
I have had little reason in the recent dark years to cheer a fellow American, let alone a journalist, for speaking the truth in such a way as to stir my latent patriotism. Well, it happened today, and the journalist’s name is Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. In a passionate and scathing analysis of the Bush administration in general and Donald Rumsfeld in particular, he single-handedly showed me a light at the end of this long and desperate tunnel we, as Americans, have wandered into. I applaud both the substance and the passion with which he delivered this commentary on his nightly news program, Countdown. Now if some of our political “leaders” will show a bit of his moxy, we might just see off these miscreants once and for all. Here’s hoping so.
