"Enough!"--Keith Olbermann's Commentary on the New Robber Barons of Corporate America and Wall Street



All,

Keith Olbermann is a critically acclaimed and award winning TV political journalist and commentator who hosts a brilliant daily evening program called "Countdown" on mass media outlet MSNBC. He is also one of my alltime favorite progressive muckraking journalists whose encyclopedic knowledge, left oriented criticism, and comprehensive coverage of the contemporary American political scene is unmatched since the late, great Edward R. Murrow. Tonight one of his regular features called 'Special Comment' was on the ongoing fraud, theft, and scandals caused by the banks, corporations, and other major financial institutions and the dire need for these latter day robber barons to be politically controlled and severely regulated by the government and the American People. As usual, Olbermann's bedrock intellectual integrity, acerbic moral outrage, and engaged political analysis goes directly to the heart of what the present national and global economic crisis is really all about and what should be done about it.
