A Murrow in our midst?

Those of us who have been hoping and praying for a courageous, reasoned voice of sanity in the mainstream media -- an Edward R. Murrow for the 21st century -- may have finally had our prayers answered, as Keith Olbermann, who has been speaking truth to corrupt power for some months now on his television show on MSNBC, has really hit his stride in the aftermath of Bill Clinton's righteous evisceration of Chris Wallace and Fox News.

Olbermann's recent commentary, streaming live at CrooksandLiars.com, is an absolute must-view for any and all who have experienced nothing but despair in these nightmarish years of the Bush administration.

And it's even more of a must-view for those unfortunates who have fallen for the lies, the propaganda, the prevarications, the fear-mongering of this bunch of thugs and war profiteers.

Watch the video, and then send it to a clueless friend or loved one, so that the scales may finally fall from their eyes, so that they might again -- or perhaps for the first time -- begin to understand what this country is truly about, what we as a people deserve and must demand from our leaders.

I found the video a bit a slow to load, but just wait. Your patience will be richly rewarded.
