a new news crush
since peter jennings’ death, i’ve pretty much ignored television news. nobody else seemed to have the gravitas of sam the eagle. (and no, i’m not really kidding. i think i imprinted on sam as the perfect newscaster sometime in the 70s. *sigh* not his politics — his attitude.)
but now, there is light in the darkness: keith olbermann.

olbermann makes sense, but the thing is, i don’t think his message will change the hearts and minds of those already cowered by bush. there is also a large percentage of the republican constituency that supports the republican platform of fascism — as long as it promotes their agenda, the ends always justify the means.
he definitely runs hot in his editorials. he’s passionate, but his tone doesn’t help sway opinions. it’s like yelling at a child to stop being scared of the dark.
