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."

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.

Related, mostly primary source links to recent stories covered on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

A lot of people, including NY Times columnist Paul Krugman on Monday night's Countdown, are comparing John McCain's insistence that the economy is fundamentally strong with Herbert Hoover's insistence that the economy under his administration was fundamentally sound on the eve of the Great Depression. The actual Hoover quote is, "The fundamental business of the country, that is, the production and distribution of commodities, is on a very sound and prosperous basis." This remark came in a press conference on Friday, October 25th, following Black Thursday, and in advance of the big crash of "Tragic Tuesday," October 29th.

Talking Points Memo has assembled an efficient clip for those who need a reminder of McCain economic advisor Phil Gramm's July statements about a "mental recession" and America being a "nation of whiners."
