Wow G.E and Rupert, one and the same? The NYT's had a story about a top level meeting of honcho's from both behemoths where they agreed to no longer "attack" each other. Bad for the bottom line. dam the public.
Glenn Greenwald of course fleshes out the story. From Salon: http://www.salon.com/...
But a review of all of Olbermann's post-June 1 shows does reveal that he has not ever criticized (or even mentioned) Bill O'Reilly since then and barely ever mentions Fox News any longer. And on June 1 -- the last time Olbermann mentioned O'Reilly -- Olbermann claimed at the end of his broadcast that he would cease referring to O'Reilly in the future because ignoring him (and "quarantining" Fox) would supposedly help get O'Reilly off the air ("So as of this show‘s end, I will retire the name, the photograph, and the caricature").
I no thinkee' Keith will show his face here any time soon.
PBS, (Charlie Rose also stinks up the joint on this)
Wow, It always amazes me , how I can forgot the most basic of truths: America's greatest threat isn't OBL. but GE and Newscorp. They will be the ruin of all our freedoms. Thanks Charlie, you lousy Quisling.
From 2003 Charlie beats up a girl: Amy Goodman trying like hell as always. God Bless the child.
ROSE: I don't know what "independent" means -- "independent" in contrast to what?
GOODMAN: It means not being sponsored by the corporations, the networks -- like NBC, CBS, ABC: NBC owned by General Electric, CBS owned by Viacom, or ABC owned by Disney --
ROSE: My point in response to that would be that we do need you . . . . Having said that, I promise you, CBS News and ABC News and NBC News are not influenced by the corporations that may own those companies. Since I know one of them very well and worked for one of them.
I guess he told us.
