'The threat of terror .... or the terror of threat'
If you haven't seen it, watch the Olbermann rerun tonight. He just did a brilliant commentary on the 'coincidence' of terror alerts to news not favorable to bushco. Too much to go into here (I'm lazy), but if you can see it later or tape the rerun, do so. You won't be disappointed.

6. The text is on his blog.
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 07:50 PM by Staph
To read the text of this commentary, along with three additional examples, go to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/ (I'm not experienced enough to know how to make that clickable. Sorry!)

ETA: I guess I do know how to make it clickable, and I guess I don't type as fast as the rest of y'all!

;-)

8. Not a transcript, but the story's on his blog here:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240

I'm sure MSNBC will have a transcript at some point.

I am also sure some site will have a video file of it.

13. LOL. Someone on another thread said that, and I said
"The good news is, Keith doesn't drive. The bad news is--he takes the subway!

And you just know THAT is full of terraists!

12. Excellent piece!
First time I've seen a newsman juxtapose political news by dates and subsequent terror warnings.

Good job, Keith!
