MSNBC has seen its rating hit the floor and then we have watched as they began digging a hole for future ratings. The numbers prove this point. The question is why does no one watch MSNBC? The answer is in part their journalistic standards, or lack of. They have become a joke. No one takes them seriously and with the exception of Couric on another channel, fares worse, MSNBC as a whole is in the negative. If you exclude those people employed by MSNBC, NBC - you have about a dozen other people across the country who watch.
None of that is the issue, exactly, but indirectly - Keith Olbermann made outrageous and slanderous comments about Bush several days ago. Every malicious innuendo he could pull out of the gutter he did. Every lie, every piece of hate - Olbermann dug it up and threw it at the screen in his attack on Bush. The hate spewing, viscerally obnoxious Olbermann has no problem attacking Bush professionally and personally.
Hillary Clinton was being interviewed and made a statement - her husband and Robert Kennedy were still slugging it out in June, yet some people want her to quit. Kennedy was well on his way to winning the nomination and cinched or nearly so in June, when he was murdered. That is what she meant. Olbermann - did you intend to imply Bush was a killer, a thief, incompetent, and a liar? Perhaps she could have rephrased the statement, just as you should strongly consider doing before you ever open your mouth again and lose another five viewers.
Yet Hillary did make the statement and Olbermann went after her with the same viciousness (or very nearly so) as he did Bush.
His behavior is not acceptable. The hatred and slander he spews in his monologues - exactly what he claims Hillary is appealing to in the video clips - he is likewise appealing to hate and division. Whack jobs do not need an incentive Olbermann, Hinckley didn't need your vitrol to go forward with his attempt. The crazy people act on their own worldly understanding and we cannot reach that world - and Hillary even less likely, although your rant may well be more likely to get through for it is the same madness part of our brain function you use when you spray your hate through the screen.
I do not like Hillary, but listening to her interview in full, leads the listener to understand with some appreciation, all the work she has done. You were correct - she could suspend her campaign, but that is not her point you stupid fool. Unfortunately your brain does not grapple well with complicated thoughts ... consequently you are very attracted to Obama, and defensive of him, for you both share a limited skill set.
Olbermann, my greatest wish - your program is cancelled and you are removed from the television until after you have had time to recuperate. You need a warm, safe place where you can spend time, take some meds, and recuperate.
