If so, it seems to be giving a lot more information about his situation than we've heard from him so far. I'd tend to think it's a fake -- but it has been up for quite some time (since before his suspension), and I'd expect FB to have pulled the plug on it by now if it was by someone else presenting themselves as KO. So, what gives? :shrug:

1. I doubt it's his page nt

2. No

4. How do you know?

[lukasahero]

18. The fact that it often refers to him in the third person

is probably a clue...

[hlthe2b]

19. If you look closely... it seems only when quoting someone else.

:shrug:

3. Sounds like Keith--how can you tell?

[blogslut]

5. I'm voting fake

[glinda]

6. I liked the page so am hoping yes. But if not they should pull it for stealing

someone's identity.

7. Looks pretty legit to me except for the Bring Keith Back link -

but the other posts "sound" like him.

As you mentioned, it's been up for a while and I'm sure he would have had it removed?

Don't know how we can determine for sure.

8. The Fake Keith on the Fake page posted a 'bring back keith' link

so the FB page is fake.

Keith Olbermann does have a real Twitter account: http://twitter.com/KeithOlbermann

9. Has KO tweeted anything since last night?

Thanks.

[Tx4obama]

10. No. His last tweet was BEFORE this show.

Last KO tweet

ShowPlugSupplemental: We will have a slight change in the Thurber selection tonight about 22 hours ago via web

11. he does not

have a fb page. Keith talked about this so I believe it is fake. He would not ask for help anyhow.

12. Hey everybody!! This appears to be KO's real page. He has also splintered

Off this main page, with the request that any and all supporters go to that new page,(As well as the main page) to discuss how how upset you are about the firing, and how upset you are about the MSNBC treatment of him.

But instead, ninety percent of the comments seem to be from FREEPERS. SO PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN ACCESS FaceBook by going to that page and offering a comment of support.

Page to show support and tell MSNBC you want him back:

13. guess it real

[Tx4obama]

15. It's not him. See comment #14 on this thread. n/t

[RavensChick]

16. I went to the Facebook page that wants him back

and that page is legit, so the other one obviously is a fake. Geez, the wound is still fresh and already there's some prick putting salt in it! Sickos!

[truedelphi]

22. I cannot keep tabs on this, as we keep losing

Our utilities' power.

It does seem like Comcast becoming a Media Super God is going to cause some problems.

Or maybe MSNBC did this on their own. They are owned by General Electric. (One of the most fascist organizations in the history of the world.)

[Tx4obama]

14. It is NOT real - see below

There is a comment over there that says....

Someone name "Dakota Ionais" set up this account, but seems to be representing him/herself as Keith Olbermann. The same person set up the "Bring Keith Olbermann Back" page. That's really low.

20. Thank you (and especially for not being snide to those of us asking)

[RedCloud]

17. Sometimes the imposter narrates in the third person.

21. THe folks at AmericaBlog think this is real deal
