Keith Olbermann Statements Gets Him Demoted

 some say it looks a lot like what CBS did to Dan Rather for the Bush Regime.

In a Special Comment, Keith Olbermann talks about the politicization of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, especially by the Bush administration, McCain and GOP who use the event to terrify Americans into thinking the only safe option is to vote Republican “or this will happen again and you will die.”

 

MSNBC said Sunday it is replacing Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as co-anchors of political night coverage with David Gregory, and will use the two newsmen as commentators only.

The change reflects tensions between the freewheeling, opinionated MSNBC and the impartial news gatherers at NBC News. Throughout the primaries and summer, MSNBC argued that Olbermann and Matthews could serve as dispassionate anchors on political news nights and that viewers would accept them in that role, but things fell apart during the conventions.

LIBERAL MEDIA is a term of DENIAL! The Media Companies and their Parent Companies accommodate an Administration that continues to promise them their alleged tax breaks.

The Mainstream media is reporting one thing and the web is reporting another.

The web is saying as the American public sits by and votes in McCain/Palin, they deserve exactly what they are going to get with this one: A mentally-ill POW and a bipolar hockey mom who is a moose eating, Lips-Ticked Pit Bull on Pentecostal Crystal Meth speaking in tongues while curing homosexuals.

Meanwhile, CNN is in the McCain/Palin moose-crap tank too, as , is a Rovian strategist plugged into the Bush/Chenney/McCain/Palin Regime. Mrs. Senor hasn’t been removed from Campaign Coverage. Let’s not forget the CBS/Dan Rather ‘bushwhacked job’. Are Griffin and Capus monitoring Rush L. or Fox News? How could anyone be critical of Russia, China, or Iran…..for that matter. We’ve lost our freedom of press/speech/journalism to tax breaks for corporations and the rich. Maybe the ticket should be Sarah Palin/Phil Griffin or John McCain/Steve Capus. It’s funny how Americans are being afforded the same lack access to Sarah Palin as we happily provided to Dick Chenney. It’s even more hysterical that USA journalistic corporations are state controlled puppets passing ignorance to the ignoramus.

This is what Olbermann said …………………..

 

Olbermann: Republicans have hijacked 9/11 An American tragedy made into a political commodity Video Olbermann: Republicans have hijacked 9/11

 

Anchor, ‘Countdown’

MSNBC

As promised, a Special Comment about our sad anniversary tomorrow.

Or, more correctly, what our sad anniversary tomorrow has been turned into by the presidential administration, and the current Republican candidates for President and Vice President.

This is supposed to be a day of remembrance. Remembrance of the attack, remembrance of the national unity which followed it.

Most important of all, remembrance of the dead.

But 9/11 has become a brand name. A Republican campaign slogan. Propaganda of the lowest form. 9/11 has become 9/11 with a trademark logo.

9/11 (TM) has sustained a president who long ago should have been dismissed, or impeached. It has kept him and his gang of financial and constitutional crooks in office without — literally — any visible means of support.

9/11 (TM) has made possible the greatest sleight-of-hand in our nation’s history.

The political party in office at the time of the attacks, at the local, state and national levels, the party which uniformly ignored the warnings and the presidential administration already through twenty percent of its first term and no longer wet behind the ears, have not only thus far escaped any blame for the malfeasance and criminal neglect that allowed the attacks to occur, but that presidency and that party, have managed to make it seem as if the other political party would be solely and irredeemably responsible for any similar catastrophe in the future.

Thus, Sen. McCain, were you able to accomplish a further inversion of reality at your party’s nominating convention last week.

There was the former Mayor of the City of New York,  the one who took no counter-terrorism measure in his seven years in office between the first attack on the World Trade Center, and the second attack.

Nothing, except to insist, despite all advice and warning, that his Emergency Command Center be moved directly into the World Trade Center.

Yet there was this man, Sir, Rudolph Giuliani, quite succinctly dismissed as “A Noun, a Verb, and 9/11,” and repudiated even by Republican voters,  transformed into the keynote speaker, Sen. McCain at your convention.

And his childish, squealing, braying, Tourette’s-like repetition of 9/11 (TM), was greeted not as conclusive evidence that he is consumed by massive guilt – hard-earned guilt, in fact  but rather as some kind of political tour-de-force, an endorsement of your Vice Presidential nominee, a rookie governor , a facile and slick con artist.

The blind endorsing the bland, to a chorus of 9/11 (TM), 9/11 (TM), 9/11 (TM.)

Your ringing mindless cheer of “We’ve Kept You Safe Since Then.”While nobody asks “doesn’t then count?”

All of this, sadistically disrespecting the dead of New York, and Washington, and Shanksville. Endorsed,  Sen. McCain. Exploited, Sen. McCain. Trademarked, Sen. McCain by you.

And yet of course the exact moment in which Sen. McCain’s Republicans showed the nation exactly how far they have fallen from the Better Angels of Mr. Lincoln’s Nature, came the next night.

The television networks were told that the Convention would pause, early in the evening, when children could still be watching, for a 9/11 Tribute, and they were encouraged to broadcast it.

What we got was not a tribute to the dead of 9/11, nor even a tribute to the responders, or the singularity of purpose we all felt. The Republicans gave us sociological pornography, a virtual snuff film.
