Countdown getting Smart: Appear on Colbert, Franken, and have Kos on there
This is a great sign. They are trying to build their 24-54 base of viewers and I think it is going to work!

1. I noticed this, too.
This is a great idea. There is a bevy of people online waiting for a credible news show to finally come on the air.

3. Not only that, it represents networking and synergy in liberal media.
The RW media infrastructure certainly does this in a big way, there's no reason liberals should not benefit.

7. Skinner may need a beer or two....
cause he is a little shy......Very insightful but timid. Maybe Will Pitt can give it a go! He would be, how shall I say it.... say...."Frisky"....:woohoo:

6. I wish he and Brian Lamb would have talked more about the Internet.

After all, a lot of their viewers are DUers, etc.

All they did was mention Bloggermann and Keith said he is blogging less these days.

Oh well.

9. Olberman was great on Franken this morning...

..did anyone listen to the recording Olberman was discussing where O'Leilly practically threatened any viewer that called and mentioned Keith's show. Honest to god, Bill ranted on about how "we know your phone number," and that "Fox security" would get in touch with you.

OLeilly has totally lost it. They're going to have to pull him from the air pretty soon. You can't threaten people like that.

10. I don't see Olberman as being liberal at all. He's actually fair and
Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 10:27 PM by IsItJustMe
and he doesn't like O'Liely or Rush. But then again, these two guys are real idiots and lots of people don't like them.

Olberman is definitely not to liberal as

Faux, Scarborough, or Tucker is to conservatism. These people actually gets conservative shit started. Outwardly

No comparison.

11. I think he has a much darker agenda:
To make O'Reilly self-destruct.

On Franken he mentioned that he has friends at Fox who haven't been completely "assimilated into the Borg." They know how crazy O'Reilly is and in private they say to Keith, "Keep going! He's losing it! He's almost over the edge!"

Not that there's anything wrong with that. :D
