So M$NBC hired Martin Bashir and fired Olbermann...
...talk about regressing and bad choices. Bashir is a backstabbing tabloid schmuck who fabricates lies and twists facts. Olbermann told the truth - unvarnished, untwisted. M$NBC seems to have a problem with unvarnished, untwisted truth.

Before she gets shit-canned, I suggest that Rachel Maddow leave M$NBC and join with Keith to form their own network. Freaking OPRAH has her OWN network, why can't Rachel and Keith have one? Hmmm? Perhaps Thom Hartmann and others would join them - Michael Moore, etc.

1. "Freaking OPRAH has her OWN network, why can't Rachel and Keith have one?"
Because they don't have a billion dollars.

2. RT would probably give 'em a show.
RT is giving Thom Hartmann daily airtime to skewer the TPTB. The more, the merrier.

Six hours of Thomm, Rachel and Keith in rotation wouldn't disrupt their news cycle much. That type of programming certainly works for Free Speech TV.

3. What's RT?
And, if I don't know, chances are my cable doesn't provide it.

4. Russia Today, one of the MHZ channels.
I get five of them over the air here in DC, ComCraptisc carries ten. All different international channels. NHK (Japan) has some very interesting cultural shows (about Japan) and Aljazeerza does solid reporting (Just the facts, Ma'm) and documentaries.

5. Hartmann is on FSTV. If this is not available to you
through your carrier, you can always stream it.
