I dont think Keith Olbermann is God.....
I read <i>soooooooo</i> many posts a day where Olbermann is just rejoiced as our savior. Please someone give me a break.
Wow, he posts blogs..... So do I.
He has a show on MSNBC where he never gets to say dick about what is going on. So I may as well have a show too. And then everyone will send all breaking news to Tara, and then i will <i>blog</i> about it.

And I will be getting as far as Keith Olbermann.

Its great that there is someone on national television who feels the same way we do, but he will never be permitted to do with it what we would like.

2. This doesn't belong in Editorials
and I'm thankful along with many others
that Keith is continuing to talk about
what went on in the elections. Wrong is
wrong, whatever time period it resides in.

If nothing else, the truth about vote padding,
uncounted provisional votes, purged voter
lists, paperless voting machines etc. should come
out and be reported on. Keith seems to be the only one
on any network who is doing this work.

I give MSNBC and Keith kudos for trying to
reveal the truth.

3. This is a joke right?
Olberman has managed to get a prime time cable news show where he expresses viewpoints and covers stories against the trends of the industry.

This is a HUGE accomplishment, Keith deserves all the praise in the world for pulling it off.

There is really no excuse for sniping at Keith.

5. Olberman is my hero - I laud his courage, and hope
he will do the almost impossible and continue to pursue our concerns and keep a lightbeam on them as long as possible.

Hope he gets very famous and lauded, rich and admired. It's so time to unseat Bob Woodward.

6. You'll never get your own blog if you can't figure out how to format
text. I'd say welcome to DU, but suspect you are a troll.

8. I love "Countdown"
He makes the news fun, covers stories that are ignored by the other cable shows......AND he has "oddball".

Best news show this side of "The Daily Show".

10. you guys are assholes
So you dont like my opinions, and i forgot to preview my post and catch my text error, im a troll?

I think Olbermann is fine, but my opinion is that the whore media will never allow him to do what needs to be done.

I didnt think this was facistunderground where everyone has to agree about everything. Try to not be so rude.

11. Ok, well you shouldn't have said that....
but some of us do agree with you. Keith Olberman did one or two segments about the vote fraud issue and posted a couple of blogs about it. That does not make him God. He hasn't done any REAL investigative journalism about it either. So he brought the issue up once or twice, whoop-de-friggin-do.

People are soooo desperate for the corporate media to talk about this so when MSNBC allows Keith to briefly talk about it, he is a cult hero around here. But he has done very, very little to help our cause.

People on DU would be wise to completely STOP watching the corporate whore media, including Olberman. It is very liberating. Just try it. Completely stop watching MSNBC, CNN, and FoxNews. Your life will improve.
