After an eventful and controversial, albeit very short, suspension for making campaign contributions to Democratic candidates before the midterm elections, MSNBC’s top blustermonger Keith Olbermann returned to the airwaves Tuesday night. What did he have to say? Well, funny you should ask, as we have the clip right here.  —KA

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

I would recommend to anyone who thinks Olbermann doesn’t occupy some niche on the left to go to his site and view a clip of his impassioned plea for single payer system of healthcare a few months ago during the height of the struggle for healthcare reform.  Who else with an audience of millions in our corrupted corporate media did this?  If the “left” cannot recognize others who are pulling in the same general direction, we will continue our downward spiral of self-defeat.

Olbermann may be a voice of the left but I hardly
doubt that any msm channel or venue is ‘left’,
otherwise the well narcotized masses getting
their info from
msnbc would be better informed by viewing and
hearing real investigative reporting and all the
truth on what is going on in this country and the
world. Hard to get any of that in such a secretive
society.

“Blustermonger” is how you describe Kieth Olbermann? One of the most audacious voices of the American left that has access to mass communication has to be mocked by a supposed “left” website?  Another example to the pathetic sense of solidarity of the imaginary American “left”.  Tony Vodvarka, Hartly DE
