Interesting notion at HotAir: Were we better off with Olbermann on the air?
In another year, they both won't have jobs and these two can do this all day.
HotAir has a very thought-provoking take on the demise of Keith Olbermann, almost lamenting his absence because he was just so unapologetically Leftist.
He didn’t try to hide either his bias or his intense stupidity.
Unlike, HotAir notes, Newsweek…which is also Leftist propaganda, but disguised as objective journalism…so rational people are often duped by its attacks on conservatives because they falsely believe Newsweek is unbiased.
With Olbermann, everyone knew who and what he was, and whom he was working for.
This is the same thing I say when conservatives get upset that people like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, James Clyburn, John Lewis, and other horrible Democrats remain in office. These people are caricatures of all the bad things the Left does…living, breathing, talking, and sometimes quacking political cartoons. There’s a reason SNL skits are often so spot-on when parodying these people, and it’s not because anyone even remotely talented or funny has worked at Saturday Night Live since before I was born. It’s just because the Left’s standard bearers are so ridiculous they are walking parodies of themselves and what insanity they believe in.
Olbermann is very much in this bunch, as is Chris Matthews, who is still on the air. It remains to be seen if Rachel Maddow will step up to the plate and become more crazy to fill the void Olbermann has left.
While it’s great seeing him fired because it was a firing long coming, strategically it indeed would have been better for the conservative cause if he had remained on the air, saying stupid things, and discrediting MSNBC through the next election. With him gone, the network can claim it cleaned house and is now unbiased, and many foolish people will believe that.
Which is a crying shame, because Olbermann might be gone, but the climate that bred and advanced him remains.
