Bloggers for Olberman: The Last Man Standing

[AlamoDemoc]

Mark Crispin Miller has a kudo for MSNBC's Keith Olbermann:

"The first segment of tonight (11/08/04) 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann,' on MSNBC, was an extraordinary piece of TV journalism. It was a vivid and hard-hitting exposé of the whole pattern of electoral fraud, as represented especially in Ohio and Florida. It wasn't just a summary of others' stories, moreover, but included some amazing scoops. KO also had Rep. John Conyers on, to talk about the glaring need for a full-scale investigation by the GAO. (Three more congressmen recently have signed on to the petition, which now has six signatories.)

"It was a glorious moment for the First Amendment, and a powerful blow for the reclamation of American democracy.

"Olbermann is going to stay on the story. We must therefore support him loudly, thank the network ostentatiously, and pointedly urge other congressmen and -women to sign on as well. We want to make sure that MSNBC does not decide to fire him, and that all Democrats, and all honorable Republicans (there are still some in office), add their names to the list of righteous signatories."

1. I only wish this could hit more mainstream, daily news...

I know he's on MSRNC, but it's not like the nightly news where the Average Joes turn.

7. Goddamned unbelieveable...

No journalism at all; it just starts with the premise that Bush won by 3 million votes; who cares if they're fraudulent?

Olbermann is showing what a real man he is by doing this.

3. Ask your local affiliates

why no one else is covering this story? Do they care to dismiss it personally or do they still hide behind their major networks for the election news?
