Keith Olbmermann Calls His New Show (And Its Viewers) The ‘Last Line Of Defense’
On the Monday night premiere of his Current TV show, host Keith Olbermann informed viewers that this version of Countdown would be “a newscast of contextualization,” presented with the point of view that the “weakest citizen in this country is more important than the strongest corporation” and that “the nation is losing its independence through the malfeasance of one political party and the timidity of another.”
He added that he, and his viewers, now stand as the nation’s “last line of defense” and must act like it Olbermann then quoted from author Harriet Beecher Stowe‘s profile of Abraham Lincoln, in which she described a “war for principle.”
