The Night The Lights Went Out On NBC: My Thoughts On Keith Olbermann

NBC 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 MSNC.  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.
