[FreedomAngel82]

1. Are you serious?!

Oh yay! His show is the highest rated show on MSNBC so that's good news! Love Keith!! :loveya: I wonder if he would ever have Jim Lamphey on his show to talk about the voting stuff?

[Coexist]

2. He covered a lot of election stuff in November

Even had Blackwell on. Blackwell kept calling him "Keef"!

[Melodybe]

3. This is from his newsletter

Tonight on Countdown
------------------------------------------------------

Seven months before the invasion of Iraq, the head of British foreign intelligence reported to Prime Minister Tony Blair that President Bush wanted to topple Saddam Hussein by military action and warned that in Washington intelligence was "being fixed around the policy," according to notes of a July 23, 2002, meeting with Blair at No. 10 Downing Street. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/20...

That's some of what we're planning for tonight's show.

22. One reason I still have Direct TV is Countdown!

I will be watching this for sure!

[Chicago Democrat]

25. Do other stations cut Olbermann?

I have Dish Network...


I was thinking about buyuing Directv stock, are you happy with them?

[brook]

10. It's possible.

They probably know each other from working in the LA market - and in sports. Keith seems to be on top of things. It's soooo refreshing!

[ElectroPrincess]

18. Somebody better tell O'Lielly ... he says he's on top :P

Gee, I just saw a commercial ... OH! Never mind, I just remembered that O'Reilly is on FOX network.

It's easy to get the major cable networks confused (MSNBC, CNN and FOX) because when it comes to actual news reporting, they're one big echo chamber.

Let's hope and pray that ole' Keith behaving honest to his profession, does not get the Axe. After all, no ONE commentator is more powerful than The Machine.

Let's all tune-in 4 sure, and thanks for the scoop. :-)

[sabra]

4. Maybe some one can capture the show for those of us

we can catch it?

[Coexist]

5. check with dzika

dzika is always right on time with the video - I don't even know how to upload photos to my responses.

[FreedomAngel82]

14. Check out

olbermann.org They have media up there so they might capture it. I'd like to see that gem.

[Terre]

6. One more Recommend

and we can get this to the GP so folks (like me) don't have to search through the forums looking to see if it's been posted.

HOORAY for KEITH!!

All I can say is I hope he doesn't have "dimwit" (I forget his name) on to make a "Oh this is nothing. . . blah, blah, blah" comment.

[CC]

7. kick

[Pacifist Patriot]

8. I think I may have stumbled on a reason to turn on tv tonight.

[Catchawave]

28. Keith is always a good reason for TeeVee :)

Enjoy the show :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

9. Are they sending out Newsletters again?

We missed them last week - glad to see they're back.

Go, Keef! :loveya:

[Turn CO Blue]

11. Important-story-kick. For Keef!

[babsbunny]

12. Don't forget to

THANK HIM!!

[Zorbuddha]

13. Notice how Drudge won't go near this?

He won't touch it. That alone is telling and lends credence to the merits and significance of the memo. Seems all sorts of issues are being pumped to distract from it.

[ElectroPrincess]

19. Drudge who? EG

[Zorbuddha]

29. It is a factor foolish to ignore

regardless of opinion.

[demjuli]

15. He's the only real newsman on TV...

Darn, I wish I was a DU grown-up with enough posts to recommend this thread :(

[Melodybe]

16. Aw, sorry keep posting and you'll get there.

Thanks for the thought though.

[Melodybe]

17. dupe

[bunny planet]

20. Go Keef!

Kick!!!:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[crispini]

21. Alright! I will be there tonight for sure!

With bells on! :loveya:

[dzika]

23. It's about time... nominated

If I had sent paper snail mail each time I contacted him about this subject via email... I would have killed a whole forest of trees by now.

[Virginian]

24. I emailed him, too.

With credible links and everything.

He's usually on top of things, I wonder why HE didn't jump on it earlier. Could it have been all the other stuff that crowded it out? Maybe he wanted it to stand out?

Other Stuff:
President with Putin.
Runaway Bride.
President annoys Putin by going to Georgia.
Michael Jackson.
Crowds welcome Bush in Georgia.
Handgrenade in Georgia two hours after departure.
Lost plane in DC.
President not kept in loop about lost plane in DC.
The book the president was reading on his bicycle trip while plane lost over DC.

[Bethany Rockafella]

26. We can always count on Keith!

[derby378]

27. About freakin' time SOMEONE covered it here

Next thing you know, Olbermann will be touting The Power of Nightmares as the UK's answer to Fahrenheit 9/11. Not exactly an accurate comparison, but stay tuned...

[Senator]

30. Everybody - Send the Jim Lampley link to Countdown

If you've already sent it - send it again.

31. I'll be there to watch Keef!!

However, I messed up and missed Congressman Conyers on wolf-world today. He was scheduled to be on to talk about the memo as well as the "non-answer answer" that he received from the WH regarging the memo.

Did anybody see Congressman Conyers? Please, I'm dying to know how he survived in the shark tank. I know that Congressman Conyers will post video feed to his blog, but my computer cannot support video. HELP!!

[Bozita]

32. 30 minutes

[althecat]

33. What happened? Does someone have the video?

[jazzjunkysue]

34. How did it go?

[althecat]

35. keep it kicked till we get an answer...

[althecat]

36. Video Link & Discussion Here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3668481&mesg_id=3668942

It was extraordinarily good... And raised a point that I am going to post on separately.

[Czolgosz]

37. This is why we should all contact MSNBC and demand that Countdown

must remain in its prime time spot. Send them an email to:

[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]

And follow up with a letter by regular mail to:

MSNBC TV
One MSNBC Plaza
Secaucus, N.J. 07094

Here is a sample letter:

Please don't move "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" out of prime time. I am one of the viewers who recently found "Countdown" in its current time slot, and it is viewers like me who have raised "Countdown" to its position as one of the highest rated shows on MSNBC. I will not be able to watch the show as consistently if it airs after prime time.

Your viewer,
