ABOUT THE NEWS HOLE

It's the new award-winning blog* from the cast and crew of the award-winning television news hour** "Countdown with Keith Olbermann."

We heard about this whole "blogosphere" business from Tom DeLay, and came to the immediate realization that we too, "needed to become involved" in it.

So here it is. Covering the big news, the small news, medium-sized and irregular, The News Hole strives to bring everything you love or hate about Countdown to the internets.

Your feedback and hate mail is encouraged.

Countdown Supplemental for May 27, 2008

Background on the McCain co-chair Phil Gramm scandal handily provided in sidebar of the article published on msnbc.com.

The story is pretty well exploded by now but the Politico story that broke the news of the McClellan book is here.

The GAO report on port security mentioned in the Bushed segment is summarized here or in full in pdf form here.

I wasn't able to find a copy of the IAEA's report on Iran's nuclear capability (just this story) but the Wall Street Journal is hosting a pdf version.

And in case you don't arrive at this blog by way of the Countdown with Keith Olbermann homepage (Countdown.msnbc.com), a new, much improved design went public just a few minutes ago.

Along with the launch of the new design comes new video and audio podcasts. Now you can schedule downloads of the entire show instead of clips. Find those in the iTunes store or on the msnbc.com podcast page at Podcasts.msnbc.com.

My felicitations to whoever designed the new homepage.  It looks like the love child of a surrealist and a cubist.

Yes!! Now I feel that I'm watching something of this century!!  The old design was just so 20th-century.
