Olbermann Departs, as Media Consolidate Further

Posted on 01/22/2011  Juan Cole -- Informed Comment

People are blaming the abrupt departure of Keith Olbermann from MSNBC on that company’s merger with Comcast and Olbermann’s loss of the protection and patronage of Jeff Zucker, the former head of NBC programming. MSNBC says that the issue has nothing to do with Comcast.

It seems Olbermann is too extreme for US television. But Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, now they are mainstream. What universe could that proposition be true in? That of cranky old white billionaires. And television news is owned by them. Not by you.

I'm shocked!

Obama’s leading contender for chief of staff is JPMorgan exec

I'm sure the NYT is looking into this, but meanwhile....

Janet Napolitano's visit to Afghanistan certainly was a surprise -- what the hell is the DHS doing in Afghanistan?  And why is it a player in the hunt for the missing billions?  (As if -- why them, why now -- so what is she really doing there?)  'Tis a puzzlement. This post by digby in Hullabaloo is the only one I've found that addresses this.
