Hot Wanker Action

This is what it's about: Ignoring blatant facts for no legitimate journalistic reason.

Fact: Olbermann is MSNBC's sole ratings success.

The insinuation that he's a radical left nutjob is, well, something that can just as well be thrown at Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and Big Media generally from the other perspective.

Except Olbermann attracts an audience while the others are, in their cowtowing to the right, are alienating readers and viewers. They're giving their audiences what they want to give them, not what the audience wants. (And note that this does not involve objective, necessary news; it's rather a matter of an unwanted bias, slant and spin.)

In other words, Big Media, with their rightwing bias, are alienating their audiences.
