Reply #20: Olberman is 'owned' by big corporate

[sweetheart]

I like what he says. He seems to be an honest man speaking from the hip, but the fact that
its really just about demographics and ratings, but more than that, in the mainstreaming of
dissenting opinion, that the media world order lead the 'dissent' as well, it is an attempt to
coopt the disagreement that has broken the bush imperium in to a corporately acceptable format.

And in order to work and speak those words, in the newsroom of the entertainment company, Mr.
Olberman is paid his elite salary to keep his critique on bush and not the corporate frame that
has endorsed all this warmaking, that his network itself played its cynical part in the early
phases of selling a lie.... and now he's a saint, because he's paid a salary to speak a popular
view so an entertainment company can get ratings. Those views were written here for years on
DU had anyone interested in reading it from an opposition that was authentic and not shooting
for ratings... for us to see him as the hero, is backwards, 'he' is the rear view mirror of media,
the bbs is where the rubber meets the road.

People need to recognize the con. Its entertainment, actors on a stage acting out emotions and
feelings that belong to the audience; borrowing those primal narratives for a moment, and then
returning them at the end, bowing to the sacred public who are the real heros, not the imaginary
ones on stage. Olberman is acting out what 'I' feel, except it is immasculated and weak by the
intensity i would be delivering were i reading his same words... as i'm more than working for
entertainment, i'm working for political change, and that this honesty and original of a regular
person, doing a howard beal, admirably, but still owned by big corporate and carrying their message.

The fact that olberman is under their editor's control, directed by their money, leaves the views
with slimey corporate slant, that i beleive is deliberate, so that the 'cons' and 'fauxes' can attack
the liberal media, like a puppet theatre between 2 media companies ruled by the big hand of the owners,
blaming each other for their failure to tell the truth, when the truth is that they are the lie, that
their system is the lie, and that they, all of them, have coopted the genuine moral and spiritual
goodwill of real people, and pissed it away like its a joke for a buck.

Good luck to Mr. Olberman, i wish him the best, he's doing a brilliant job. Would that we all were
paid as much to be citizens who weigh in truth.
