Re: Olbermann / MSNBC Split Win-Win For Both Parties AND the Left

I can see your point. My only problem with it is that NBC is
"pretending" not to to be left leaning, which in my opinion they
are. They are pretending that they are purely objective. They might
not even be able to see it! (it takes a right winger to sniff left,
lefties don't even smell it)
Just like when NPR fired Juan Williams. They don't want any "loose"
opinions either . They are control freaks. They are "pretending" to
be completely neutral but I consider them left leaning too, but
"hidden" much better. (I actually like NPR, shoot me) Fox is not
trying to pretend, at least not that hard....well, there was that
"fair and balanced" line, but I don't buy it and very few do. Fox is
right wing and blatant about it. They let "opposing arguments" on,
but on a very short leash.
