8. "Roger Ailes is Tony Soprano".....Robt. Greenwald
talking to Olberman about Outfoxed, his movie about Fauxnews

they showed a clip of Dennis Potter, before he died, saying he'd have SHOT Murdoch, had he the time/energy, cause he was such a malign force

compelling interview......watch the rerun, as it just ended

the Soprano reference was WRT Faux employees who were afraid to talk to him, afraid for their jobs, afraid of Ailes, and the environment created there

Olberman chimed in with why he thought he was pretty much personally fired by Murdoch for reporting on tentative sale of the Dodgers when Murdoch owned them

you could tell Olberman LOVED doing this segmen

14. Dennis Potter also said that Murdock had completely polluted
an industry that was already polluted.

13. Olbermann just gave mega advertisment for the movie... Out Foxed,
a scathing account of the evil Murdock media empire. Keith explained how he was fired from fox - for reporting the news on a sale of LA Dodgers. He said Fox has warned CNN and MSNBC that if any one give air time to this movie, FOx will go after these networks, HA HA lot o luck FAUX news. Olbermann just started a truth war with you.

16. No shit. It's fucking rude. And fucking lazy.
"Hey! I've got the energy to type words about something I heard.....eh, but not quite enough energy to type what was said. I'll type other less useful words using the time to type cryptic shit instead of using that same time and energy to type what was said. Yeah, I'll do thAT. "
It's a fucking epidemic around here. KEE-FUCKING-RICED.

32. So I can just post a "Hey! did you hear...?" and hope someone will reply
to fill in what was MY responsibility to write the first time? You are being too gracious (a kind word) for this kind of daily posting
habits (another kind word) seen FAR too often here.

11. MSNBC- Countdown with Keith Olberman- he's great!
His show is always entertaining, he did a bit on *Outfoxed*, the video that Moveon.org is showcasing next week, including a press conference on Monday, that highlights Murdoch

17. You don't have cable? I know how that feels when you are a politics
junkie. I despise cable, but until the election I am going to force myself to watch news cable. I want to know what the mediawhores are saying.

34. Watching the repeat... I continue to adore Keith Olberman.
Nice eye candy, too.

He completely exposed Murdoch for the egomaniacal corporate despot that he is. "Two weeks later, I was fired."

He's the coolest. Seriously.
