Speak out against Bush's Iraq policy and lose your job at CBS

General John Batiste resigned from the U.S. Army in protest of the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq war.

He was serving as a consultant to CBS news until very recently. You see, General Batiste appeared in a VoteVets ad, speaking against Bush's Iraq strategy. So CBS fired him.

So now you know who controls the news, and what happens when someone tries to share the other side of the story.

Fortunately, though, we still have MSNBC's Keith Olbermann to give us a better perspective. On the May 10th edition of Countdown, Olbermann talked with General Batiste about the situation. To read the transcripts or download the interview, click here.
