Heckuva Job on Mine Safety, Dubya

On Olbermann's show, Keith discusses the incredible way Stickler (heading up the "rescue" and in charge of mine safety in the U.S.) landed his position. He points out coal mining deaths declined from 1926 until last year when 48 coal miners died(largest percentage increase in 107 years). "Shafting Miners" indeed. Arianna Huffington points out the shoddy, one-dimensional work by the media. "Can't the media cover two stories at once," she asks, referring to the rescue and oversight failure.
