OUTING MSNBC's PLACEMENT of a healthcare lobbyist as a frequent commenter and guest host on Olbermann's Countdown. "NBC News is putting on paid shills for Obamacare! Idiots."
Throughout the show, he brought up right-wing "front groups," the "step-by-step instructions to the right-wing rabble-rousers," and the "scare tactics and the fake protests" conservatives are unleashing across the nation to defeat reform.---------------
Wolffe seems to have a problem with fake protests and ginned up "grassroots" campaigns. He should know: It's what Public Strategies does. In a "case study" on the company's web site, it laid out how Public Strategies helped a hospital chain get state approval to build a new hospital by generating a fake grassroots campaign.
Wikipedia entry that will no doubt change soon.
Glenn Greenwald: (Scroll half way down to "On a very related note") "Having Richard Wolffe host an MSNBC program -- or serving as an almost daily "political analyst" -- is exactly tantamount to MSNBC's just turning over an hour every night to a corporate lobbyist."
Olbermann apologizes to Daily Kos.
