I mean, that is really what it boils down to isn't it? So called "news" organizations like Fox can give $1,000,000 to the Republican party and their opinionators can give as much money as they want to whoever they want without any repercussions. But, at the same time, a progressive editorialist can be suspended from his job for exercising his 1st ammendment right to donate to a few political candidates who happen to support his views. How Un-American.
This is where we are. Every news organization in America is now biased against liberals. If you're a Republican, you can give as much money to whoever you want and that is great. Hell, if you are a corporation (FOX or NBC for that matter) you can give as much money to whoever you want. But, God forbid, if you are liberal, you can be denied the right to support people who promote your political views.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, has ever thought that Keith Olbermann was anything but a progressive. And, by the way, he is also an editorialist--NOT a newsman. To say that he only has the right to support a political candidate IF his employer says it is okay is a gross distortion of the 1st Ammendment. What, now liberals can only support whoever our corporate overlords tell us to support? BULLSHIT! And, when will the right wing be held to the same standard by the main stream media? The answer is NEVER. They are obviously corporate owned too.
So here is the deal. Republicans can sell "pulling the plug on grandma". They can sell "global warming is a worldwide hoax". They can sell any freaking stupid crazy thing they can come up with and we progressives have to swallow it because of our sh*t eating media. And, on top of this, if you dissent, the powers that be will find a way to silence you.
MSNBC, which up to now was the only voice for liberal Americans, has joined the anti-progressive corporate club. I knew that they would eventually find a way to earn more money by silencing us, but I just hoped it would take a little longer. Let's face it, if we have to rely on big corporations for anything at all, they will eventually f*ck us.
So, now we are going to have to change politics using only the Internet (until, of course, they silence us by ending Net Neutrality). I guess that all we can really do is to personally try to tell as many people as possible how wrong the political system is because progressives now have absolutely no voice in the media at all.
In the meantime, this Griffen guy needs to pay with HIS job. Fu*k him and anyone he has ever met. Let's pressure this guy until he resigns or is removed.
Sorry for the rant, but I am really pissed. I am just sick of being a part of the only political group that has to play by the rules while the other side runs roughshod on us and does whatever the hell they want without ever having to account for their actions.
This has to end...
