Olbermann is a hero! With the Corporate media dominance that cheered us into war with Iraq (in the lead up to the war the main three stations had 496 experts saying we should go in and only 4 saying we shoudn't - liberal media my butt!) - Olbermann was the only main voice on TV holding the Bush administration accountable! His brother died in 9-11, yet he was against going into Iraq and the president called anyone that did not want to go a coward - that is when he unleashed his unabashed Lefty and did us all a public service!

After all, if we had listened to Olbermann, we would not have spent 750 Billion dollars (over 2 trillion when you ad helping the soldiers for life), killed 100,000 innocent Iraqi's, killed almost 5,000 American troops, over 1000 American contractors, and maimed over 50,000 American troops! If people would of listened to him instead of Fox Noise (and the so called lefty media that cheerleaded us into war), we would be a lot safer, have a better standing in the world, and not be in the horrendous mess we are in.

Yes he is lefty, but he admits it unlike FOX who pretends to be "Fair and Balanced". As long as the commentator is honest about their slant, then there is nothing wrong with editorials and opinions, unlike Bill O'Reilly who claims "No Spin Zone" and that he is an "independent" at the very same time he is reading the White House talking points...

So, yes, Olbermann goes over the line once in awhile, but he is real and admits that his show is an editorial, not a News broadcast, unlike the fake news channel!

Spot on. Very refreshing review for VP. I'm sure you'll get the left bashing shots from the ample supply of righties here, but stick to your guns. Good review.

BTW...how will you feel if the Blagojevich scandal reaches back to Obama? Politicians...they're all crooked.

I noticed your reply to me is exactly the same as your review. But, you're reply to me came first. I guess it fianlly dawned on your left-winged brain that it would count as a review.
