I have looked and looked and looked - Not a word on 'Killing Bin Laden' on DU

[Trajan]

I could have sworn that somebody would have started a thread about this semi-sensational semi-documentary on Discovery PRIME TIME tonight ...

... with Keith Olbermann narrating ..... (at least I think he was ... I could find none of the typical 'credits' for this show, anywhere)

I finally started watching 1/2 hour before the end of the show ...

Anybody ? .... http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/killing-bin-laden-videos/

1. I saw it in the TV listings and laughed, fwiw

but didn't think it was worth posting about.

Did it add anything new?

[Trajan]

4. Not particularly ...

Not that I was looking for different information about this .... I was primarily struck by who I thought was Keith Olbermann as narrator ...

I tried my best to find out, without success, who it is ..... I figured DU would have something to argue about with this show ....

Maybe DU is done arguing about this issue ?

2. Nope. That is NOT Keith Olbermann's voice. n/t

[Trajan]

3. Are you sure ?

Is it a conscious effort to use someone who sounds like him ?

It is an uncanny resemblance ...

5. It doesn't sound anything like him to me.

And besides Keith Olbermann is now a partner at Current TV and the director of the news department there.
Keith wouldn't be working for Discovery Channel on any projects because until June (when his new Current TV show airs) he can not take any 'paying jobs' on TV due to the provisions that are in his contract from MSNBC.

8. That's what they're saying

Excerpt

Michael Moore, the liberal activist and Oscar-winning director, has joined an ever-growing list of contributors to Keith Olbermann's new Current TV show "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." The filmmaker joins fellow documentarian Ken Burns, comedian Richard Lewis, and Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas on Olbermann's forthcoming show that debuts on the cable channel June 20.

"I'm delighted and honored that so many of my friends -- who are not coincidentally among the top progressive and entertainment voices in the country today -- will be joining me as contributors to 'Countdown' on Current,' " Olbermann said Wednesday in a statement. "I hope these talented individuals, and the others we are to announce in these weeks before the premiere on June 20, will give viewers a sense of the strength and depth of the franchise we're assembling."
