And you guys are complete dumbarses to actually think this corruption isn't happening on both divides. You pretend at least to be smarter than this.
Sean Hannity literally goes on the campaign trail for republicans and donated $5,000 to Michelle Bachman's campaign who appeared regularly on his program. 4 of the most likely candidates for the republican presidential nomination in 2012 are currently paid by Fox News as contributors. Two have or had their own television show.
Everyone losses with this. A major restructuring of our entire news media is imperative.
It's the hypocrisy that is funny with Olberman. I wonder if he will make himself "The Worst Person in the World!!!!" when he comes back?
Hannity makes no claims to be non-partisan. He readily admits to being a shill for conservatism.
The end of GE owning NBC may have some interesting impacts on msnbc. The news division will no longer have to be a GE shill and there may actually be an effort, over time, to build some respect as a news channel, thus they will need to find ways to shed some of their big contracts/worthless personalities who would block that process. Olberman may be the first one to be axed by execs looking for an excuse so they can make the change.
