Keith Olbermann, a former MSNBC host known for his outspoken liberal views, has recently advocated for an "economic civil war" as a means to end mass shootings in the United States. In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Olbermann argued that blue states should use their economic power to "starve red states into submission."
Olbermann's proposal has been met with widespread criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. Many have condemned it as dangerous and divisive, arguing that it would exacerbate the already deep political divisions in the country and potentially lead to violence.

Democratic strategist James Carville called Olbermann's idea "crazy" and "un-American." He argued that economic warfare would only harm innocent civilians and further alienate those who disagree with liberal policies.
Republican strategist Karl Rove also denounced Olbermann's proposal, calling it "reckless" and "unpatriotic." He said that it would undermine the very principles of democracy and unity that Olbermann claims to support.

The National Rifle Association (NRA), a prominent gun rights organization, released a statement condemning Olbermann's proposal as "hateful" and "counterproductive." The NRA argued that it would only further divide the country and do nothing to address the root causes of gun violence.
Olbermann's proposal has also been criticized by other progressive commentators. Bill Kristol, a conservative writer and editor, argued that it would ultimately backfire by turning more people against gun control measures.
Former Clinton administration official Paul Begala described Olbermann's idea as "nuts" and said that it would make the country "more dangerous, not less."
Olbermann's radical proposal has been widely condemned as a dangerous and divisive path that would only exacerbate the problems it claims to solve. It is a reminder of the deep political divisions in the country and the need for dialogue and compromise rather than economic warfare.
In addition to his call for economic civil war, Olbermann has also been a vocal critic of President Biden and the New York Times. He has accused the Times of bias against Biden and has pledged to cancel his subscription to the newspaper.
Olbermann's recent comments have sparked a debate about the role of the media in covering political figures. Some have argued that the Times has been too critical of Biden, while others have defended the paper's reporting.
The debate over the Times' coverage of Biden is likely to continue as the 2024 presidential election approaches. It is an important reminder of the need for a free and independent press that can hold those in power accountable.
