I *heart* Keith Olbermann. Scary but somehow not surprising.

On the one hand, journalists regularly reprint the claims of government press releases and regularly reproduce, without much acknowledgement, various statements and claims from government organs.
On the other hand, this is something slightly different - the active and blatant co-option of news media by a government for the purposes of propaganda. It is what happens all the time, unofficially, but to see it happening officially is still sickening.
No wonder he's the ex-press-secretary.

Yes. He seems to have no problem with what he did, and yet willfully reveals it in public.

To be honest he's got more guts than the rest of that administration. He's one of the very first to come forward about the douchebaggery. Though I suppose saying that I have more respect for McClellan than Mr. Cheny, Mr. Wolfowitz or Mr. Rove or isn't saying a whole lot now, is it?

well this is more like if the sky was permantly obscured with some giant ....tarp but everyone suspected the sky was actually blue only to have it confirmed by someone who's been to the other side and back
ok that analogy was a little weak but to be fair this is directly from the white house's mouth ...that's a pretty big deal because the government + fox is purposefully feeding the public outright lies for political gain

But every body I would think already knew this. This is the same network that said Bush is one of history's greatest speakers, so you have to excuse me that this didn't come as a shock.
The problem with fox news is that it's news that certain people want to hear. That means it really doesn't matter what happens, they could perform a baby sacrifice live on air and their viewership wouldn't decline much.

If you are gaining your political insight from fox, there's something wrong with you in the first place. I usually just like to see how badly my country is going to shit on a daily basis. Then when the political shit comes on, i immediately go to the daily show and the colbert report.

problem is that there's far too many people with something wrong with them:
so you can see how things like the iraq war or gay marriage or abortion or whatever issue of the day is spun by the conservative think tanks behind fox"news"
