I don't watch this every night (busy with my twin baby girls) but I made it a point to watch this last night because of the attempted terrorism plot.

While I consider myself middle of the road, I was surprised at the blatent leading Keith Olbermann. He bascially refuted that this was an actual plot and that english authorities over reacted. He interviewed some terrorism expert with leading questions about how Bush and Blair were politicizing this.

I'm sorry but I'd rather have them over-react then under-react. This was a very real threat that could have had devistating consequences.

while I can understand his liberal bias slants his perspective, I'm disapointed in the lack of objectivity and trying to make this a right wing vs. left wing issue. People lives are stake.

Yeah, Olberman is a loon just like so many on the left. Look around on the kook web sites - no real analysis of the actual terror plot or it's disruption by authorities, just bitching and whining that Republicans are going to use this as campaign fuel.

Everything is about elections with these people. No solutions, no plans, not even true analysis of current situations.

The makeup of the Democratic party is odd, too. It's a small core of super-rich elitists, and they market their radical agendas to blacks, outcasts, felons, and illegal immigrants. Notice the strong push by the left to give voting rights to felons and immigrants. It's because their base is fading, and they need more bodies to pull the levers for them.

Blacks (which vote 85%-90% Democrat, giving Democrats a 10-point advantage before the polls even open) are beginning to peel off as they realize that the party they've voted for for 40 years has done nothing to improve their situation. Look at New Orleans. Total liberal rule for 60+ years, and the ghettos not only remained... they spread and grew worse. 60+ years of rule... the place should have been a liberal utopia.

perhaps it is why his ratings are so low.
