First one would have to have been around to listen to Edward Murrow back in late 1930s and 40s. Not the TV Murrow, the old radio Murrow.
Olbermann has copied to a T the writing and verbal presentation of Murrow. Murrow became a "commodity", he had something to sell and MSM raised him to the peaks.
He became a Pied Piper, nightly bashing of Hitler, on and on and on. Oddly, the people never noticed he rarely ever mentioned Togo and Japan that attacked us. He was saying what people wanted to hear, what he was not saying spoke volumes. His adoration of the poor Russians was endless.
But he was bashing evil Hitler and MSM played it to the hilt.
All of this time he was employing known communists to work for him, unknown to the people that adored him.
Murrow went on to become the man that led MSM in their effort to destroy Joseph McCarthy.
What Olbermann is saying I agree 100 per cent, what he is NOT saying is where the snake oil comes in.
", in a separate interview last week, Mr. Olbermann acknowledged that for MSNBC’s nighttime lineup to ultimately work, viewers needed to be able to follow at least some common themes from one show to another. He likened himself and his fellow hosts, collectively, to the menu of a hamburger restaurant with several variations of the same dish.
“If you go into a burger place, and you go in there for the fish, you might want the fish occasionally but it’s probably a mistake,” he said. “Could you be utterly different politically and succeed in this format? You’d basically be throwing your audience away.”
