Does Keith Olbermann post here?
I swear that his newscast resembles a lot of stuff in LBN, GD and GD/P!

Hi Keith, if you are scanning through the threads here!

1. I'm reasonably certain a member or members of his production staff does/do.
I doubt he has the time himself (he's still doing his radio gig, if I'm not mistaken).

2. I'd be willing to bet he or his staff reads here as I've noticed
the same thing. Tootles, KO, if you're reading!

7. Not just DU
Randi has mentioned many times that she thinks KO's producers are listening to her show and using her material. More likely his producers check many sources.

11. Actually, she's accused him of stealing "her" material
and usually this comes on the day of or after Rachel Maddow appearing on KO's show. I like Randi, but dogs in heaven, that's ridiculous. I could accuse her of stealing DU material, since many of her shows sound like she's reading posts in GD.

12. I swear Randi's stolen some of my material...
You are spot-on about this. I don't care where this stuff comes from, I'm just glad it gets on the air at all.

14. Yes, she is a bit obsessed about Keith
She used to accuse KO's staff of stealing material but lately she's been complimenting them a lot. She's made it quite clear that she would love to go on that show, but after all her past remarks, that's very unlikely.

10. when I send an email to KO I always ask him to come here and I always enclose the link to DU
I personally think there is some very brilliant people here as well as us kooks and that the good one's writing always comes through. I've sent jack cafferty a link also and I asked him to check this place out too, making mention that he just might feel right at home here with so many like minded folks. DU is a good thing something to be proud to be a part of.

hope I'm not breaking any rules with that

15. I send the Countdown staff links all the time from DU...it's just so easy
I click the email link at the top of the thread. I mail it to Keith and Staff at Countdown@msnbc.com

I've even used DU to nominate for Worst Person in the World....could be a coincidence, but I've seen several named! Well researched threads are a must !

Of course our very best resource is the Top Ten Conservative Idiots list !

I do think our emails make a difference !

18. so do I think that if I didn't I wouldn't waste my time on it
I'm sure each individual treats emails differently but to suggest they maybe don't amount to a hill of beans is just what the neoCON's want us to think.

17. I'm sure someone on his staff does
because... like the other day...I was surfing ( means lurking here on D.U ) all day here, and when I watched his show that night it was old news.

20. I'm sure his staff peruses this place.. a LOT
His show is very very very "like the stuff we post here":evilgrin:

and some of the news we post and then he reports on, is not even covered by the "others" until days later :)

We make it easy for him to use, because we support all our news links with good sourcing and links for easy chceking:)

23. I think DS1 is actually Keith Olbermann,
and he's gleaned a cousin's pic off the internet. That's what I think.

24. I've noticed that too. He's got a great sense of humor too
so maybe he's a Lounge Lizard as well!
