MSNBC Finanly Get's it Right.

Here's the disclaimer: I love MSNBc - it is really the only station I watch most days. I am so happy that we have liberal representation in the media, and intelligent people expressing intelligent ideas.

BUT: I didn't like it at all when they drove Keith Olbermann off MSNBC for his politics. I adored his "worst person in the world" segment which regularly got him in to trouble. I also don't like Pat Buchanan being kicked off. Free speech is free speech. While most days I would gladly choke Rush Limbaugh, and while I hold the FOX network responsible for turning Michigan from the pro labor, pro civil rights, forward thinking people that I grew up around into the conservative, intolerant backwater that it has become, I still support their right to free speech. (Though in the case of FOX I think the number of tv and radio stations as well as other news outlets they own should be restricted to one per market area, so that other points of view could also be freely expressed.)

Many people applaud when gay issues are quashed in the news and gay rights (or women's rights, or black or hispanic rights) are denied or restricted. I do not want to applaud when others are silenced. Society will progress. Changing opinions will silence the bigots.

Another thing is that next week, Buchanan will probably be working at FOX, and there will be no one there to challenge his ideas as they did at MSNBC.

Smooches,
Keri

How old IS Rush Limbaugh anyway? When in the hell is that man ever going to retire????
