I expected to hear more from KO about using this diary disaster to make DailyKos a better place. Instead, we got this
You want diaries with conspiracy theories, go nuts. If you want this site the way it was even a year ago, let me know and I'll be back.
Keith has had plenty of time to formulate and articulate a plan to fix and clean up DailyKos. But frankly, his diary was short on details and long on platitudes.
He hasn’t explained how he will hold the commentators responsible for the comments they make. He hasn't explained how we can stop the commentators from making such wrongheaded and misinformed junk shots on his twitter feed. He hasn't explained how we are going to heal an obviously very battered Keith Olbermann.
Instead, he is still relying on Kos to come in here and fix it. This is after Kos has already demonstrated over and over that he can't or does not want to fix it.
In short, it was a good diary -- if Keith Olbermann had written it 57 days ago.
Sadly, this was a moment squandered for KO. He could have pointed this community in a new direction -- a direction away from the poisonous and polluting discourse in which we are currently floating. Instead all we got was the usual off-kilter and unidirectional ranting and spewing that we've sadly come to expect.
