How long can Olberman stay on the air?
How long will the Bush administration allow MSNBC to continue airing Olberman's newscast?

All DU'ers need to watch and/or record his show every night. We need to constantly flood MSNBC with e-mail, calls, and letters in support of the show. I plan to start making a list tonight of Keith's corporate sponsors and give them positive feedback too.

We have to fight to keep the one newscast on the air that dares to challenge the Bushies!

2. Pfffft! Speak for yourself-I LOVE Countdown-I'd rather have

3. yes by god give me Peggy Noonan, Wolf Blitzer, Fineman,
and...oh screw it! I'm too tired for the sarcasm.

Olberman's show is not perfect but at least he has good guests and covers the issues. I wish every news hour was like Frontline--Ain't gonna happen though.

13. Skin crawl = Chris Matthews
There's something about that guy's mouth. Whenever I actually watch him... in lieu of just listening... I get all caught up watching his mouth. He has a spit problem. It always seems like, at any given moment, he's gonna jump through the screen and start chewing on my arms and legs (and not in a good way).

Eeeeewwww.

9. Substantive, funny, hates Fox,...
...and doesn't drone on and on about Scott Peterson

yeah, I guess that qualifies as boring.

guess I'll go back to watching Alan Colmes like all good liberals are supposed to do.

7. I LOVE Keith! I will watch every night
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 09:52 AM by in_cog_ni_to
and make sure everyone I know watches too. I love his dry, wacky sense of humor. His digs at O'Lielly are PRICELESS! I wonder if O'Lielly got him fired from FAUX NEWS? Olbermann seems to REALLY, REALLY dislike the asshole. Let's not forget...HE'S ON OUR SIDE! Support him!

15. List of Olberman's Advertisers
Keith Olberman's advertisers are pfizer.com, nortel.com, goodyear tires, Eloan.com, avis.com, & dell.com. I have sent each an E-mail in support of Olberman & his show (Countdown). I encourage others to do the same.

It is important to democracy that we Americans can TRUST election results no matter who "wins".
