On Friday, the highly partisan Democrat Keith Olbermann announced his departure from MSNBC (see video below). Naturally, the corporate media made a big deal out of what is in fact merely a game of musical chairs – Olbermann will find another nest where he can read his Pentagon generated teleprompter scripts to the camera and rebuke and make adolescent jokes about establishment Republicans and issue dire warnings about the supposed danger of people who insist the government follow the Constitution.
In November, Olbermann was suspended indefinitely without pay after it was reported that he unwisely made three campaign contributions to two Arizona Democrat members of Congress – including shooting victim Gabrielle Giffords – and failed Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway ahead of the mid-term elections.
Olbermann’s vacated slot will be covered by an equally scurrilous Democrat partisan hack – Lawrence O’Donnell. Harvard graduate O’Donnell’s career is a textbook example of a Democrat operative. He worked as a key legislative aide to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He parlayed political connections with other Democrat operatives, most notably Chris Matthews, into an MSNBC gig. In October, O’Donnell revealed his true colors when he went back on an agreement with Ron Paul not to discuss other political candidates during an interview.
Democrat state-worshipper Ed Schultz will follow up O’Donnell.

Not that it matters. Corporate media news programs – including those on Fox – continue to slip as people discover that MSNBC, Fox, CNN and the rest of the establishment alphabet soup media are little more than propaganda venues for the government and the elite. In December, it was reported that Chris Matthews drew a scant 228,000 viewers while Olbermann corralled 245,000. Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell draw even less.
Compare this to Rush Limbaugh, who has at least 15 million listeners a week. Talk radio trumps the TV news networks across the board. Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Clark Howard, Allen Hunt, and Martha Zoller beat their liberal counterparts hands down.
Meanwhile, internet radio steadily displaces the corporate media on television and radio. Alex Jones is the most listened to and popular talk radio host broadcast over internet streaming radio.
Philip Graham, the King Bee of the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird, believed that the function of the press was more often than not to mobilize consent for the policies of the government.

If Graham was alive today – he killed himself with a shotgun in 1963 – he would likely be aghast to realize the corporate-government media partnership – the essence of fascism – micro-managed by the CIA is headed for the rocks as citizen journalists increasingly take control of news and information dissemination.
