I just read that Olbermann's got a new gig. I'll be sure to tune in. For a little-watched channel, Current's really got some great content already. "Infomania" was one of my favorite shows at one point, though I lost interest when they stopped doing Sarah Haskin's "Target Women" segment. Hopefully Olbermann's presence will substantially elevate them in public's consciousness.
(Though in the meantime, watch the Fox-zombies laugh at his "misfortune," at being force to go to such a minor cable channel. Lost on these idiots will be that he'll single handedly make Current significant, while the likes of Beck and Hannity were put on the map by Fox rather than the other way around.)
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of it. Hopefully he'll keep doing his "Worst Person in the World" segment. That was the consistently the best two minutes on television each night!
...
One more thing...
The last line of that article is representative of everything that's wrong with the media:
Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBCUniversal, which is majority owned by Comcast. Comcast also owns a stake in Current’s parent company, Current Media.
I have no problem with the disclosure, but no good will ever come of the fact that a mere nine corporations (or just six: Time-Warner, CBS, NBC, Viacom, Walt Disney, News Corps - suprising that Comcast is left out. Maybe that was written by a Comcast guy? LOL) own and control 99.9% of the media.
(Oh, and, BTW... I don't necissarily endorse every view expressed in that article; only the overall point that Corporate Media Monoploies are bad news.)

It's amazing how much Keith stood out as a paragon simply because he says liberal things out loud.
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't we dazzled by genius when we turn on the news? Why don't we see masterful command of fact and perspective and policy? Why are we dazzled simply by seeing someone who isn't a contemptible fool?
I'm going to say, "Sadly, becuase they are so RARE!" and then try to figure out whether I should laugh or cry about that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.
