Say it isn't so!! I keep searching; hoping to find out that it is a joke. But it appears to be another kick to the head, by the powers that be, for those of us who enjoy truth delivered by one with so much integrity that his very presence oozes goodness & honesty. Now, for me anyway, there's no reason to keep the package Dish charges me ($15. monthly that's $180. yearly) for delivering MSNBC. Without Countdown MSNBC will just be too sad to watch. :-(rnthinkingbluernrnPlease sign statement:THANK YOU KEITH rnhttp://act.boldprogressives.org/sign/pccc_keith/?source=fbshare&referring_akid=383093rn---rnThe Night The Lights Went Out On NBCrnrnRussell Simmons gives props to Keith Olbermann for speaking truth to power!rnrnNBC is a great institution based in the landmark Rockefeller Plaza where TV and Radio began in this country. On Friday night, a bright light was dimmed for no explicable reason, when Keith Olbermann delivered his final show of Countdown on MSNBC. It is being reported that the deal for his removal from the network has been in the works for weeks. Maybe it was someone's ego, maybe he was too honest and forthright. But I can't help but feel that the less honest the right extreme is, the more heavily they get promoted; the more honest and the progressive voices are, the more they get silenced. This is where Edward Morrow's American media is at today.
