Keith Olbermann: The World According to W

Yes, it's another video, but this one is good! Countdown with Keith Olbermann has become progressively more, well, progressive in the last several months. Originally, Olbermann confined most of his editorializing to "Special Comments," or intentionally irreverent segments like "Worst Persons in the World," "Oddball" or "Keeping Tabs." Increasingly, other segments--in fact sometimes the whole show--have become rather left leaning. Good.

Why good? Because for all the talk of liberal media bias, it is a rare commodity. We have a liberal radio network, Air America Radio. A smattering of wonky progressive publications like The Nation, and. . .well. . .Countdown. That's about it. I could list three more paragraphs of right-leaning media sources right off the top of my head. Right-wingers would argue that CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and NPR are all extremely left wing. Baloney. Conservatives think that any media that isn't explicitly right-leaning is ipso facto left-leaning. Shades of grey, people.

But, I digress (a lot). Here's a left-leaning opinion, but also a truthful one, about George W. Bush. Spot on, too, as far as I'm concerned. See what you think.
