DAMN!!! Does Keith Olberman have a new job?
I am sure he will be looking for one after that excellent rant against Bush and his administration. I loved it! If only a few more media folks had as much courage.

3. Keith is far too respected to be fired now... He's gone on plenty of rants
in the last year (and before). It's usually on people such as Rush Limbaugh though. He'll occasional rip on the administration though.

6. His ratings are too good to fire him
Keep on telling it like it is, Keith!

23. he was 'too intense for WLS audience'.....he had the highest ratings in
Chicago

FR had a post at the time that their campaign to get him kicked off worked......that was the first time I heard of FR

it was just before the 2000 campaign really got going......I think they needed him off WLS (10pm - 1am); it's a very strong station .....he got lots of truckers and people from OK, KY, etc hearing him and calling in

that's why AAR needs to be on some mega radio stations: so the message will get out very far after the sun goes down

BTW, just before the 2002 election, Tulsa's 1170am (another mega station) ceased being KVOO (country-western for 60 years) and became KFAQ a hard right station affiliated with FOX news.......Savage, Beck, Ingraham, O'Reilly, etc

10. Keith kicked some ass this evening.
He is a good man. I am very proud that he can tell the truth unlike some others in the media.

13. Her "reports" are like an effete tourist viewing India from inside ...
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 12:07 AM by TahitiNut
... an air-conditioned bus. She focuses on trivia and offers no human perspective. She just babbles on about "the natives" (well, almost).

15. Like fingernails scratching on a black board.
Thats what Rita Cosby sounds like. I cringe everytime she opens her trap.

She sounds like one of those dogs without vocal cords. Like she's been debarked.

22. Question: Rita: Live, or Animatronic?

What's with all the balet handwaves, head-cocks, and faux stomach launch emphasis. Where did she learn this crap, Chucky Cheeze or "band camp"? It's like watching Barny do the news. Does the Botox make it necessary to substitute body language for facial gestures?

Ghod, it's almost as hard to watch as tales-from-the-crypt Larry King.

16. I loved Keith tonight. Everyone must send an email to MSNBC
telling them how much you like Countdown, and especially tonight!

countdown@MSNBC.com

I sent mine right after the airing here in the east coast, and told them I was soo happy to hear Keith say what I've been feeling!

It's important to send them feedback! You can bet the freepers are sending nasty ones!!!!
