5. This Coverage Will Be Very Difficult for Keith
It's going to be hard for him to contain his glee and not get all giddy.

Tomorrow, KO will live out a fantasy that millions of us have. Watching a former employer who screwed you over, get grilled by a government body.

6. Just wait for KO to point out that lots of state pension funds were
invested in Murduch in the USA - this shit is about to hit the fan

20. Yes, I 've seen mention o f live streams, but I don't know how to
get them. You can also get them on the Internet. I am practically compute illiterate.

The best way I know is to google "Current TV", you can find instructions on how to get there
in many of their articles. Good luck.
