As we all unfortunately know, Prop 8 - banning gay marriage - passed in California last Tuesday. One of my friends sent me an e-mail with this video link in it, a "special comment" clip from Countdown. In it, Keith Olbermann gives his personal opinion on how tragic the passing of Prop 8 really is and challenges supporters of the ballot measure to think of gay marriage in a different way.
I think this move by Olbermann to be pretty interesting. I have yet to do extensive research on it, but I'm kind of curious to see if conservative media critics are labelling this as proof of "liberal media bias," ignoring it, or praising it for an open admittance to bias.
It's also become somewhat of a viral video hit - this version of the video has gotten 300,000 views alone. It's also everywhere on Facebook. Viral videos have become invariably interesting to me in the past week+ as I've been doing research for articles (hearing Ari Melber speak, too, was great). It really is amazing how quickly these things spread.
