I'm thinking that the republicans want the continual tanking of our economy for the next two years...how else are they gonna get the presidency in 2012.

Wasn't sure if I should start another thread on this ... Then I figured Olbermann didn't deserve one - soooooooooooooooooooo
Olbermann suspended by MSNBC Quote:
Let it be said that I don't like Olbermann at all. I do watch some of MSNBC - Chris Matthews is cough/tolerable/cough and Maddow is usually ok. I do enjoy Morning Joe. Off the cuff, I think its probably a good decision. But again I really think the guy is jerk so... Just seems to be a bunch of journalists/hosts/whatever getting canned lately. I'm trying to figure out the connection and who they all pissed off. (conspiracy theory)

Meanwhile, Rupert Murdock is bankrolling the repubican party. Different standards for different organizations.

Scarborough is a better counterexample. He did the same thing as Olbermann, and has a newsy opinion show like Olbermann, on the same network as Olbermann, and didn't get suspended.

If Olbermann had incorporated himself and given through one of those secret "Love America Long-time Foundation" fakes, would he had to have reveal he was a contributor?

Fox New is not a source of news. It is a propaganda machine. So many Fox News people are in an entertainment division. Not part of a news division. Therefore Fox News reporters and commentators can spin stories according to the political agenda - with cover. All part of the purpose of Fox News - propaganda for a political agenda. Olbermann is part of a news organization. Therefore he must conform to higher standards that include no political contributions. Fox News employees openly contributed $thousands to Republican candidates. But they are 'Fair and Balanced'? |

But Comcast and NBC don't want to piss off the newly elected regime right now.

Comcast does have a market agenda. To subvert net neutrality for higher profits. To protect a duopoly created by the George Jr administration. A duopoly that has eliminated free market competition in communications. And cause the United States to fall drastically in the list of best broadband countries. If that is Comcast promoting the Republican party, it is not for ideological reasons. It is simply a company whose profits are important; the product irrelevant - something dirty that Comcast must also do to build more skyscrapers. Meanwhile, Murdoch needs us to all vote for the 'right' party. Just as all Italians must also vote for Berlusconi to 'save' Italy. Silvio Berlusconi's communication empire also promotes his political aspirations for same 'Fair and Balanced' reasons. Does a political agenda promote interests of the company? Or does a company exist to promote the political agenda? |
