Watching the video below may answer your questions as to why MSNBC, formerly Fox News channelmate, was moved out of the neighborhood.
Special Comment: On waterboarding and torture
Removing this channel from the basic cable subscription removes Mr. Keith Olbermann's show (read:rant) "Countdown" from many people's homes. Thousands and thousands of people's homes. Fox news still gets to pull their tricks however -- like connecting the Southern California wildfires with Al Qaeda (if you watched the whole Olbermann rant above, think about how this fits with the "plausible fictions" that could be created by torturing terror suspects).
Here is Rolling Stone's article on the man, which includes a link to their top five Olbermann rants.
Enjoy your life, relentlessly, despite all this crap --

That is really unfortunate :( Being from socialist Canuckistan we just recently had added BBC World and BBC 4 added to the normal cable lineup. I'm still stunned by the ammount of news reported on the BBC that you never EVER hear in the north american news.
BBC world always sounded like an interesting option to me. You'll notice I often quote BBC articles in the blog, I keep an eye on them.
I also have a super secret underground mole who feeds me BBC news for the blog. Nice to have "readers" out there :-)
I have to post this. More people have to see this. Thank you.
excellent stuff, with some great lines, including calling Bush nominees his "latest human echo"
hahhahaha
but what really interests me is his reference to the "f word" - fascism - I'm watching how long it takes to get that word/idea into the mouths of "ordinary Americans". . .
this is about to get even MORE interesting. . .
It's refreshing to finally hear the "f" word used. You have to call a spade a spade dammit.
You know, folks are talking about this change like it's no big deal, but I honestly think it IS a big deal. Having one single progressive voice to stand up to the propaganda machine is just too much for these people... one voice on one station that is still in general quite right wing...
There must be NO dissent, because the lies are so vacuous that any commentary or logical analysis annihilates the propaganda.
"dissent" is also a challenge to the "reality" they're espousing - whether they believe what they say is irrelevant - the agenda is to have everyone on the same page - and you can't do that if someone's looking over to the left saying. . ."hmmm - wait a moment. . ."
hehe
Yeah, when the lies are so egregious and wide of scope -- any hole in the dike is bad news. That's a lot of B.S. to hold back, can't be easy.
