Keith Olbermann - Fox, Lies and Videotape

This story has even made big headlines in Britain. What troubles me is that the issue isn't being discussed outside of overt partianship. Couric's 23 minute interview with Michael J. Fox at least had enough substance to it to point out that stem cells can also be obtained from IVF cells that are now being discarded. It also dismissed the notion that Fox is a shill or pawn of the Democrats (ie Fox's support of Arlen Specter). As for Rush Limbaugh, he is the one to be pitied. But, Keith Olbermann using Sam Seder's vitriol in response just obscures the issues even further. When will Americans demand a sincere discussion of issues instead of the partisan attacks that only rely on hatred and fear?
