Egypt`s Bittersweet Reality - Power to the People

(SALEM, Ore.) - One of the few in American media who has consistently challenged the status quo; Reporter and Commentator Keith Olbermann, is no longer with MSNBC. He abruptly and surprisingly signed off to his viewers Friday night with a moving grand finale.

During the Bush years Olbermann was the only solace at times; seemingly the only dose of sanity you were likely to see from mainstream media any day of the week.
