2. I agree - but it looks like she plans on continuing this type of show
and he is a natural next so let's get busy! I will post here what I write her and ask everyone else who does to do the same :)

4. what I wrote
I was just watching the townhall styled show with Bill O'Reilly. I know this is at least the second time Oprah has done the show with this format and I just love it.

I would like to suggest you have news anchor Keith Olbermann on as a guest (the Anti-Bill O'Reilly). His show Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC is my favorite news program. Please have him on.

Thank you!

7. that was a good idea to point out he's the "anti-Bill O'Reilly"!
Wouldn't an hour-long interview with Keith be a wonderful show? :loveya:

12. This is a wonderful idea.
I just submitted my request. Hope she listens. If she has him on, I'll try to get tickets so I can see KO in person. :loveya:

17. Close enough. About an hour out of downtown.
When I sent my suggestion for having KO on, I told them I'd be interested in tickets for that show. :fingerscrossed:

22. Wish I could join you. Do we still have the KOEB thread going somewhere?
Tried to watch him at 8 PM Eastern Time in Florida, but was too busy with kids and grandkids and 50th H.S. reunion.

Luckily, he airs at 5 PM AND 8 PM Pacific Time. Just an extra little reason to live in the west...

16. I sent her the request...
I also said that I think people are craving an intelligent discourse about the state of our Democracy and our Constitution...our country is no longer the one that is the shining example to others.

I haven't watched Oprah in a long time...I got really tired of the diets, fashion, and I guess 'shallow' stuff.

28. I sent my request too.
I said O'Reilly was sickening and EXTREMELY right-wing. If you want to have someone left-wing, how about Michael Moore. Then I said, maybe someone more mainstream would sell better, how about Keith Olberman. I love him!!!

32. Thanks! Done.
I said I had to turn O'Lielly off, but if she interviewed KO I'd tell all my friends to watch.

Remember, she's looking for viewers.......
