When the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not ban books in order to protect incumbents from critical speech, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann compared the decision to Dredd Scott, warning that after Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission: It is almost literally true that any political science fiction nightmare you can now dream up, no matter whether you are conservative or liberal, it is now legal. Because the people who can make it legal, can now be entirely bought and sold, no actual citizens required in the campaign-fund-raising process. …
It has been an interesting and puzzling couple weeks watching the White House communications office at work. First, on October 11, Anita Dunn publicly rebuked Fox News on Howard Kurtz’ CNN show calling it the “research arm of the Republican Party.” Then, we learned Ms. Dunn counted Mao Zedong as a “favorite philosopher” and it seemed like a score was settled and everyone would move on.

Controversy over the docudrama erupted in 2006 after former President Bill Clinton and his liberal surrogates said the “The Path to 9/11″ inaccurately portrayed Clinton-era decisions in the hunt for Osama bin …
Keith Olbermann loves to compare himself to his idol, Edward R. Murrow and has even presumptuously appropriated Murrow’s famed sign off, “Good night and good luck,” to end each of his broadcasts. Murrow must have rolled over in his grave after being associated with Olbermann’s March 20th ‘Countdown’ show. Olbermann kicked off the 3/20 broadcast announcing that the Obama campaign was confirming the Senator’s passport file had been violated, and that a statement from the campaign was imminent.
