Rachel Maddow quote regarding Keith Olbermann

[Tx4obama]

“I wouldn’t have this show without Keith nudging the network to give me a try, and without Keith clearing space for the liberals among us in this country to identify ourselves as such, as liberals, even on primetime cable TV,” Maddow said. “The way that Keith cleared space was by not only voicing his own opinion, but by being really freaking successful when he did it. If you want to be a pioneer, don’t just be the first person like you to do something. Be the first person like you to do it brilliantly. That’s how you change the world, so other people like you get chances too.” ....

.... “We are all sorry that Keith and MSNBC decided to end his run here,” she said. “I can also tell you that that decision has no effect on the editorial independence that makes it possible for me to do this work.”
