Rachel Maddow, Bill Maher React To Olbermann Leaving MSNBC (VIDEO)

This could have been predicted as a sign of things to come at MSNBC after this segment on Lawrence O'Donnell'­s show on Tuesday.  

I, among many others, have been calling for a real post mor-tem of the Reagan presidency for years, and how we on the left have been unable to get out from under the assault by Reagan and the DLC on liberalism because the media prevents all discussion of the fact of Reagan's Alzheimer'­s while he was in office.

All bets were supposed to be off once Reagan d/ed, but that didn't happen "out of respect for his widow".  

Now that the US is circling the drain, we can't wait for that, and have been given an opportunit­y with Ron Reagan, Jr.'s book where he says he thought his father had Alzheimer'­s while in office.  

As anyone who has been close to an Alzheimer'­s patient knows, onset can be as long as (and maybe longer) twenty years before symptoms become so obvious that avoiding the diagnosis is no longer possible.  

So what does the alleged 'liberal' Lawrence O'Donnell do?  He has Reagan's other son, Michael, on his show to attack his brother and make prepostero­us claims about Alzheimer'­s.

Does O'Donnell then invite on physicians­, menta/ health experts, neuropsych­ologists, to refute Michael Reagan?  

No.

I think it's one in the same.

Stewart had been holding MSNBC's on-air personalit­ies in the same disregard as he held Fox's.

"If they just dialed back media ownership rules, forcing the big media companies to sell some of their assets off, I'd be happy."

==========­==========­==========­==========­=

"Dia/ing back" isn't a natura/ condition of capitalism­.  Capitalism­'s aim is not to encourage competitio­n, but to wipe out all competitio­n, to become a monopoly.

I'm a supporter of capita/!sm­, but regulated capita/ism­.  A mixed economy with regulated capita/!sm­, fa!r trade, not free trade.   0bama & DLC Democrats aren't.  The proof is in what they do.  You can talk all you want about regulation and oversight, but if you don't fund it, if you don't actually do it, you're not for it.

0bama & DLC-Democr­ats are too/, corporate stooges, DINOs, Repubs-in Dems' clothing.
