Today Keith Oberman was suspended without pay. To me this translates to being fired. Is it a coincidence that Comcast is about to cement the 51% ownership in NBC? I think not.
This may be the first shot across the bow to show the power of the corporation to silence voices of decent. It could be contract negotiations. However, I have never heard of anyone in media being suspended without pay and then returning to the air.
I think this is Comcasts way of saying, we will move MSNBC and their opinion makers more to the right. Thus making the left, the center, and the extreme right the right. In other words...make it difficult for the American electorate to be informed of all sides of an argument.
Control the media, control the message, control the elections, control the outcome, control the people.
In Europe the politicians fear the people, in America the people fear the politicians.
Get up, get active...don't wait until it is too late to make a difference.
