Today the American Mainstream Media is finally showing some backbone and attacks the Bush government. But for many years nobody was brave enough to raise his or her voice - with a few applaudable exceptions.
One of these exceptions is Keith Olbermann (and his crew) - anchorman of the MSNBC news show Countdown. The show itself follow the usual American pattern of facts mixed with some political pundits comments within a three to eight minutes slot between advertising. Nothing special here.
But his special comments are superb (click here to see a list of his greatest moments on YouTube)! Sometimes his monologues are up to ten minutes long and present well analyzed reflections of the current situation (or usually fuckup by Mr Shrub and his cohorts).
There is a brilliance and intelligence in his speeches that most mainstream TV journalists don’t come close.
So in the recent years he has been the voice of sanity in the dark called the United States of America. Thank you Mr. Olbermann!
