Olbermann vs. Trump #20 - Exorcism Or Dictatorship

If the news organizations declare him President-Elect, Joe Biden WILL immediately address the nation as its new leader, per Axios.com's reporting this morning. It is not merely a good strategy, it is the ONLY one, given that if he sees the slightest opportunity tonight - even a transient lead - Trump is planning his "Rosie Ruiz" coup-by-television (so named for the runner who crossed the finished line first at the 1980 Boston Marathon and declared herself the winner, and was acclaimed such by authorities - even though it proved she'd only actually run the final mile).

Biden's reported plan lines up with the essence of bold action on behalf of truth as expressed by John Stuart Mill more than 150 years ago: “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm, if he takes no part, and form no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on, and do nothing.”

And the TV networks must take heed of Mill's words and assert journalistic responsibility and bravery and not cover Trump live unless they have declared him the winner. Trump’s victory lie would not suffocate without live coverage by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and PBS. But without that oxygen, nor would it be able to explode into a conflagration that would consume this democracy.

Watch my first political commentaries since The Resistance in this newest episode of my new series on Trump and the 2020 election: The Worst Person In The World With Keith Olbermann (or if the spelling overwhelms you, Olberman Oberman Oblerman Obermann and of course Kieth). The countdown, so to speak, is over! You know: the countdown with Keith Olbermann ;-)
