HOLY SHIT--turn on Olberman NOW!!!!

[MADem]

He's bringing up the Fox news bullshit stories, and why Rather got nailed and Fox did not....

Hope this is the right place for this kind of thing. Commercial on now, story in thirty seconds....

[BootinUp]

1. FAUX NEWS!!!

The term is in the vernacular!! BWAAAHAHAHAHA :D

[ReadTomPaine]

2. Olberman's been a breathe of fresh air.

He seems to bring issues like this up when no one else will.

7. Time for emails to thank Keith

and to Faux to fire Cameron! I just did.

[LeinesRed]

13. He can pull in quite the top-notch guest as well

He is a favorite of Elizabeth Edwards

[StupidFOX]

3. Thanks for the heads up!

Glad they're actually putting some effort into reporting it.

[MADem]

4. TIME FOR SOME OUTRAGE ACTIVISM

We need to email EVERYONE who bitched about Rather, and ask where their OUTRAGE was about FAUX. We all need to GET BUSY on this!

[tridim]

5. Why are these two items CBS and Faux

even mentioned in the same story? Faux MADE THE QUOTES UP, CBS simply reported on some memos they received. It's completely different. Good for Olberman to report it, but he never made the point that it's apples to oranges.

[LeinesRed]

14. have the sickening faux and friends mentioned it?

can't stand to even check up on them lately...

[Supply Side Jesus]

6. this is late breaking news??

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. Yeah I think it's always news when repukes get called on their shit

[Gregorian]

9. SUPPLY SIDE JESUS!

What a great user name. Yay.

[MADem]

10. If I put it in the wrong place, I apologize

Keith read the teaser and went to commercial--that is when I put the story up so everyone could see it as it came across the network. Then he did the story. What he said was, where's the outrage? Everyone was all over CBS when they failed to fully source a story, but no one is saying ANYTHING when Faux puts not one, but two, FAKE stories out. He interviewed a guy from Syracuse University who specialized in media crap. The consensus was that the playing field is not level.

I urge everyone to try to catch the rerun, if they can. It was a good segment!

[blue neen]

18. Thanks for the heads up on this.

Olbermann rules.

[sandnsea]

16. Yes

To my knowledge, reporting on news that's on tv at the moment qualifies for LBN. As long as it it's not stupid fluff. I don't think this is, a mod might disagree.

[Pepperbelly]

19. no big deal ... they'll move it if they want. nt

[0007]

20. Absolutely!

[Doosh]

11. wow, it takes guts to go after FAUX news

most in the media just cower in fear, but Olberman came out swinging. Good for him, he's a true media watchdog.

[LeinesRed]

12. oh man, that Poland pic is priceless! n/t

[0007]

21. I don't see anyone in awe of FAUX or anyone that cowers in fear

of the jagoffs. Where do you get this idea?

[question everything]

15. Which network? n/t

[blue neen]

17. MSNBC

[Hello_Kitty]

22. Anyone have a link? I'm at work right now. n/t

[Judi Lynn]

23. Thanks a lot. I missed it then, but I'll catch it on reruns tonight.

I know it gets at least one more viewing each night.

Good for Keith!

[alarcojon]

24. I'm telling you, Olbermann reads DU

Many times now I have seen stuff on his show that I see here and nowhere else in the mainstream.

[Judi Lynn]

25. Really! If that's the case, it's good to mention what a handsome guy he is

and that it's no wonder he won the Playgirl Sexiest Newscaster contest!

[brook]

26. I cast my vote for him! n/t

[MADem]

28. Intelligent, articulate, worldly!

A veritable JAMES BOND of news reporters! Keith is the man all men would like to be, and all women yearn for!

(Am I laying it on too thick?)

[gadem04]

27. Couldn't agree more

i'm outraged. outraged, i tell you.
