I’ve come to a point where I almost know Keith Olbermann’s game. Believe me, I would love nothing more that to write on this blog what a great guy he is and how he exposes the truth and helps us all come together. But I can’t say any of those things. After the earthquakes in Haiti, Keith Olbermann has gotten even worse.
What Keith Olbermann is doing right now is trying to appear holier that thou on the topic of Haiti. He has basically stopped his show and instead has become regular news and only covers the earthquakes except when he takes the time to judge others for not doing so. The earthquakes are tragic, but I think the regular news can cover the Haiti situation just fine. Keith is not the regular news, he is supposed to be commentary.
But what Keith is doing is not honest. The only reason he’s covering Haiti is so that he can appear better than his competition who aren’t covering it, and he goes out of his way to let us know that. Keith’s only goal is to let you know that he cares more about the poor and the suffering than they do, or even you do. It’s disingenuous and obvious.
What this country needs is people who tell the truth, and Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow are not those people. Six months ago, I would have said we are on the same side, but I would have been wrong. My goal is to unite the country, and their goal is to help Fox News divide it.
I think of MSNBC or Fox News, the hosts on MSNBC are more likely to understand this concept and change their ways. However, I don’t think they will. I didn’t think when I started this blog I would end up having to debunk stories from both networks, but that’s what has happened.
It’s too bad, because this country could really use someone who was willing to just tell the truth and be honest.
