while scanning my favorite news links in an attempt to catch up on some of my news, i came across this video link from msnbc. i have to admit that i’m a bit surprised to be posting anything positive about the coverage on msnbc, but this video is powerful and impressive. how often these days do you see the news media directly attacking this administration and its tactics? not often from my experience. this guy deserves some recognition and praise.

check out Keith Olbermann rip Rumsfeld a new one! - mr. Olberman reminds his viewers the nature of a democracy is to question its leaders. he refers to secretary Rumsfeld’s address to the American Legion this week. you can see secretary Rumsfeld’s speech here.
my point is, why aren’t others jumping on this band wagon? why aren’t we hearing similar monolouges about the arrogance and short-sidedness of this administration?
and as a result of this lack of good journalism in our country, i remind to remind everyone to be ever vigilant, continually skeptical of the information you take from network news sources. always question those in power.

  1. Obermann’s show is a mix. I don’t watch it often– the format is too junky. But Olbermann himself has done some excellent commentaries, and this piece on Rumsfeld is one of his better ones.

    The Republican noise machine has been very busy this week trying to implant the tag of “fascism” on Islam, and trying to get us to think that we’re in a situation like WW II, which is wrong in so many ways that its hard to figure out where to begin.

    Better to just sidestep the whole tirade and accuse Rumfeld and Bush with crippling our national defense by squandering our strength in ill-advised wars, stretching our armed forces too thin, and allowing them to be pinned down in far away places, where they suffer enormous casualties to body and mind. Through their bungling, we have become a crippled superpower.
