TV Guide gives big thumbs up to "Countdown with Keith Olbermann"
DUers who have turned off MSM news, IMO, should get the habit of checking in with "Countdown" — TVG is right; one of the best things on the air.

From TVNewser (http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/):

MSNBC's Countdown: "Takes Its Information Seriously, But Not Itself"
TV Guide has named MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann one of their "Best Bets For Summer." In the July 3 issue, they say: "The Best Way To Keep News From Getting You Down: Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Not as glib as The Daily Show but hipper than the evening news, MSNBC's daily news hour manages to do the impossible: Take its information seriously, but not itself. What other news show would dare mix hard-hitting investigative stories about presidential voting irregularities with features like a stick-puppet reenactment of the Michael Jackson trial?"

3. Hard to deny the entertainment value of Countdown.

And Keith lets a little good news reporting slip by from time to time, too!

12. The truth is
you get more real news from Countdown and Daily show then you do MSM in recent times. Don't know how I could take reality without some humor. Obermann and Stewart have helped me cope and helped me realize I like my men, well all my friends, smart, funny and sarcastic.

14. The segment Keith did about "Moonlight Graham" and "Field of Dreams"
last night was one of the finest things I've seen on TV in a very long time.

Here's an article with the video...

16. I've always wondered...
... why General Electric allows their propaganda wing to broadcast a seditious show such as this?
