I’d prefer a blog segment to the Celebrity and Entertainment segment he calls “Keeping Tabs”

Good call, Russell! And easy to test, too, in terms of effect on ratings.

I know zilcharooni about baseball, just watched it because it starred Jones.

For me, feeling like i’m a contributor to getting rid of the cancer that’s run this country into the ground…”priceless”.

Thank you FDL–I really love this site!!!!!

The one Worst Person that really stood out for me was (and I don’t have the book handy right now–friend borrowed it), is the one where Barbara Bush donated some outrageous sum to a group, but only if they used it for a product that her son’s company was making. I think this must be education and Neal Bush. Can’t be sure right now.

Anyway, that one really exposed the Bushes for the criminals they are.

She wanted to get a MOTHERFUCKING TAX BREAK for a gift to her son.

Babs (Can I call you Babs? No? Well Too Fucking Bad, BABS), if you wanna dump some cash on your little darling, do it. Just don’t expect ME to pay for it! I mean, can you believ the fucking nerve. The bitch is as rich as Croesus (and getting richer), and she wants a tax break to give money to her own kid? Get the F out of here, Babs.

Oh, and to ask a question I saw on Americablog, Babs: Is it true you’re actually the Quaker Oats guy?

Just wondering.

Naw, my favorite was the WPITW segment where he fried Faux the day after the Reverend Lowery Speech. I loved the part where Faux used the explosion from Independence Day and Keith said if you’re going to use that to scare your listeners, only do it when he claims he’s protecting us from Terrorists from Outer space! Then Faux won the “Worst” person award for shortening Reverend Lowery’s speech. Keith said “they commented on the lack of applause, after they edited out the applause–come on guys it’s called Journalism, look it up in a dictionary”!

Keith Olbermann and FDL both speak truth to power, and make people laugh at the same time. Just one reason why I love both of ‘em so much.

Now, if we can get Keith to broadcast featured net videos and blog highlights, we could bring a little viewer and community involvement into the mainstream media. Well, ok.. one cable news show. But I think you get my point.

Including the blogosphere (at least in a basic manner) in TV news isn’t a matter of technology, it’s one of will.

Who will be first?

Good question.

On lots of television shows, including C-SPAN, there is a portion of the show where the anchor reads through the paper and mentions the various noteworthy stories.

I think that Keith (or another wise television host) should start doing a similar nightly roundup of what the progressive blogs are talking about.

He could highlight a few of the biggest stories of the day and talk about them briefly.

This would be a great way of achieving more synergy between the netroots and traditional media.

It could really be the start of breaking down the barriers between the netroots and people who haven’t yet discovered the progressive blogosphere.

Maybe we should mention this to Keith when he comes here next week! The other thing that I think he will like is that the blogs are bursting with great, interesting, political stories. What a phenomenal resource for an innovative host like Olberman!

I’d prefer a blog segment to the Celebrity and Entertainment segment he calls “Keeping Tabs”. The blogs would be an improvment over Tom Cruise and his daughter or Kevin Federline. Then again, it might remove some of his snark ability to take that out. Perhaps he could cut that in half and spend the other half of the time going after Drudge and the other right wing smear merchants.
