Last night, Keith Olbermann resigned his position as the bastion of news for the center, left of center and far, far left of center. With his departure (and the purchase of NBC Universal by Comcast), MSNBC will more than likely move towards straight news; news which Mr.Olbermann more than alluded to after the Supreme Court ruling, Citizens United vs. FEC. Olbermann knew that he would become a victim in advance of the changes which very well mat take place in the near future. Here is an excerpt from his show, which I highly recommend, as first re-posted by my boy Casey:
As a culture which has gone from active protest to Facebook protest, we are in deep, deep shit.
I am not a huge Olbermann fan, but he was right on this count.
ReplyDeleteWe're fucked. Strap yourselves in and hang on. This ride is about to get interesting. And by interesting, I mean, "Oh god, oh god, we're all going to die!"
I'm having meltdown.
