Me, I'm going out today to buy me a box of Cheerios. It would be nice if people who believe Olbermann is serving democracy and truth cleared out the shelves of Cheerios today, as a gesture. Yep, today, make it three boxes of Cheerios. Let's send a message to General Mills that supporting tough, honest journalism is good for business.
And John Conyers, you're on the judiciary committee, please, get something started to protect Keith Olbermann, who has already been abused by our government enough.
Note that Olbermann did not complain about his treatment by the system. He complained about the NY Post reporting it. He complained that he was being held so long. This article speaks FOR Olbermann. WE should be complaining. This event should not be kept secret. It should be widely reported. An aggressive search for the sender of the white powder should be initiated and when the sender is found he should prosecuted as a terrorist. Threatening journalists, trying to silence them, should be considered a major, serious offense... and it would be in any country that is not a banana republic.
Sadly, outside of Editor and Publisher, the NY POst and one blog that merely reported on the NY Post article and compared this to O'Reilly's ludicrous, unsubstantiated claim that he is on Al Qaeda's death list, this terrorist threat against a major journalist was unreported in the media. Oh yes. That's right. The government asked the media to keep it quiet. Well, it's no secret any more. Murdoch media blew it wide open. So why aren't all the mainstream networks covering it now?Next Page 1 | 2 | 3
