Keith Olbermann on the Rule of Law

When reading criticism of the "liberal press"--and by that I mean Countdown with Keith Olbermann and The Rachel Maddow Show, not everything except FOX "News"--I often wonder if any of the critics actually watch. Because their critiques do not reflect reality (big surprise).

For instance, both shows (along with their network, MSNBC) are derided as "in the tank" for Barack Obama and the Democrats. They've been saying that since he was the presumptive nominee. They'll further allege that Olbermann, Maddow etc. never criticize the President, even though they tore Bush to ribbons. But it isn't so. Maddow for her part has one cocked eyebrow and wagging finger in Obama's face almost nightly. Olbermann had Obama as one of the "worst persons in the world" the other night. He's also questioned (as has Rachel) Obama's foot-dragging and hemming and hawing about Bush Era torture.

And as further evidence, watch the clip below, particularly the last 20 seconds or so. Olbermann addresses the "what if" Nancy Pelosi or others were "in on" the torture program. Listen to what he says. I'm of the same mind on the matter.
