SHOCKER! Olbermann in the tank for Obama...

[tagryn]

Per newsbusters.org. If Obama/Biden wins the POTUS race, MSNBC may as well fire Olbermann. He's lost any sense of objectivity, and there's no way he could criticize that Administration after throwing his support so heavily behind their cause. I can see Colbert and Maher having a future under O/B, much as Limbaugh was able to ride on his natural entertainment talent while Bush II was in power, but Olbermann? Nah. What does he have left to offer, if there's nothing for him to rant against?

I occasionally have fits of Heinleinian fantasy, imagining what things would be like if there were a Fair Witness certification (and then I think of cognitive science studies which show that almost everything we perceive is heavily filtered before we even register it.)

It's probably not even possible for a recording device to be objective. (thinking of the "spiral" lifeforms that some photographers have caught, which are actually birds and insects with fast wings.)
