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.

Oddball: More Fox News Comedy!

There is nothing to verify this, excepting that it's on every "this day in history" site on the internets.

But on February 20th, 1952, Catherine Cummins was born in Clintwood, Virginia.

And on February 20th, 1953, her sister Carol Cummins was born there.

February 20th 1956 -- their brother Charles.

February 20th 1961 -- another Cummins girl, Claudia...

February 20th, 1966, came the last of five siblings, none of them twins, reportedly each with the same birthday, Cecilia.

We're not sure how their parents did it...but we're guessing the kids were ordered out of the house on May 20th every year.

Let's Play Oddball!

I think this Fox News Oddball feature is bloody brilliant. However, it would be great to add the laff-track to 24 :). I do admit to watching the show, but find it absolutely beyond hilarity (living here in LA even adds to the hilarity). J

O'Reilly has more viewers than any other cable channel is his 8 PM time slot ... with a quarter million to spare. He is #1 for almost 7 years now. Get used to it.

MY MOTHER IS 83 YEARS OLD AND AN AVID FAN OF BIG BAD BILL. HIS APPEAL IS DERIVED , NOT FROM HIS PERPONDERANCE OF INTELLECTUAL AWARENESS., BUT RATHER IS ABILITY OF SOUND BITE. SHE CAN QUOTE HIM BUT IS NEVER ABLE TO EXPLAIN HIM. THEREIN LIES HIS AUDIENCE. GOLDEN AGERS WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT.

Why is everyone so surprised by Fox' antics? Look at Rupert Murdoch's history. In Australia, his media was best described as  Auusie Muck. And what paper was one of first he bought here in US? The New York Daily News, that edifice of sober news reporting. So why should Fox be any different?? There's a saying, "When the fish stinks, it stinks from the head."
