Do any of you watch Olbermann ?
If so, why are there not more threads/live blogs about his show every weeknight....the guy's our only MSM hope, I tell ya :)

Of course, there's discussion at the KOEB in the KO DU Group here, but.this.must.be.discussed.here.there.too????? GD/GD-P...okay, Oddball segments can be delegated to the Lounge <ggg>.

2. I watch on the nights the kids don't have practice
but I'm not much for more than reading the KOEB threads occasionally. I used to read them in ERD, but they moved out a couple of times, and got waaaay off topic of the show most nights, so I was never much interested in jumping in.

4. I watch Keith every night. Sometimes on the rerun though.
I like Keith's show, and I have no idea why there aren't more postings on SU about it. Sorry.

5. Totally agree. I'm a huge fan.
I watch him almost every night, & as cute as he is, my interest is more in the content of his program. Keith rocks.

8. I agree! The other thread is delightful but one on the content
would be nice. (He's not just a pretty face, you know.)

Yes, the other thread covers the content too, but one primarily devoted to content would be nice.

And I agree it should be here, on GD.

(Don't get me wrong, the other thread is just fine for those who adore it. I admit to reading it from time to time as there are some very clever ladies posting to that thread and they entertain me.)

12. You are right he is our only hope but
I grow discouraged when I turn in and his lead story is the Wendy's finger or the Runaway Bride. I don't watch that crap. There is always real news but THEY-and oh wouldn't I like their head on a platter-don't allow it. I know it's not what he would chose to report upon.

His is the only cable news I watch and will ever watch until the coup is OVER. Also, he was the only one to cover for days anything to do with election irregularities 2004 (or as we call it-Stolen Election part deux) and he covered it seriously. The others then covered it (from what I read on DU) and then (quell surprise) dismissed it as a drumroll..."conspiracy theory".

13. I watch almost every night.
Tonight my 11-year-old niece is playing Lego Star Wars on the PS2 so the screen was tied up. (Usually she watches with me when she is over.)

15. Keith and Jon need our support more than ever.....
...these days :::sigh:::

One is fake news, the other is Legit Fake News....both these guys are da bomb in MSMworld,imo.

Not sure why Jon and TDS are on vacation for Sweeps Month, but I know the Stewart gang's reruns are still beating MY local news at 11.

So then....I see DU needs to focus and support Olbermann right now, I don't think there's anyone else on MSM that comes close?

But this is just me I suppose, why dwell on negative when I can jump aboard the positive.

Olbermann/Stewart....official newsies of the DU ? :hi:
