58. It takes a lot of moxy to say that

Dec 2013

The time is drawing near when the collapse of this mainstream news medium is actually self-inflicted. I may-be corrected but Martin Bashir is the second to Nova out in wild controversy. Keith Olbermann was the other evening news telecaster I remember that had very fiery devastating commentary about Bush and his administration. My own conclusions had developed from reading various popular authors that had well documented proof Bush was a political profiteer.

Yes Mr. Bashir could have been much smoother lighter and more elegant. But he did not because being raw, rude, brash, and obnoxiously repugnant sends a message that can creep through the news noise. This was a code red with no turning back.

There is something in the background he knows and is bought off likely by a separation resignation deal. When this medium is so connected by the G.E. parent company and a long range partnership with Andrea Mitchel afternoon anchor wife of the former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Mr. Allen Greenspan privy to insider information in trillion dollar deals that mastermind the one percent success America now has to tolerate is a huge slice of stress that could force anyone to the deep end of descriptions.

This is the second blast broadside and Keith Olbermann likely on NSA a Metadata file somewhere in the MSNBC data bank calling to welcome Martin to the new club, with a laugh and a chuckle, many could think Keith saying it’s good for you Martin especially you didn’t have to defect to Russia.
