2. If one listens, one can discern from Keith's recounting, how those few at the very top of media

empires are complicit, friendly, and back slappers. It is akin to coming to the realization that there are no virgins. More importantly, Keith’s podcast covers the Murdock Dominion lawsuit today more deeply than the WaPo or NYT. The importance of what has been revealed so far by direct testimony in the lawsuit should be the only Headline. But it is barely covered.

this was the teaser that Keith used:

"Fox is still in a position to do the damage outlined in the newest revelations (including, in essence, selling time on Fox News panels to Mike Lindell, and when its own researchers confirmed the crazy claims against Dominion were false, ignoring them and firing them) in part because in 2009 MSNBC and NBC cut a deal with Fox to circumscribe what news it could report about Fox, and what news Fox could report about MSNBC, NBC, and parent company GE. It's time to tell that nauseating story in full detail." KO.

4. Spot on. Keith nails it. But unfortunately, there is so much noise on the internets and in media

in general, Keith Olbermann’s podcast needs to gain more traction. As of today, the major media outlets are not making the FOX revaluations headlines.

Keith's main point was that Fox and democracy cannot co-exist in America. He also wants to revoke Rupert's citizenship and deport him because he cited remarks from Tucker Carlson from Friday night that shows that Fox hasn't changed one bit. Tucker said that President Biden is so unpopular that Putin is more popular in Russia.

This isn't just about libel and lies, it's about a network that is backing Putin. My comment not Keith's.

7. Taken from today's Heather Cox Richardson letter, is the following

After House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gave exclusive access to 41,000 hours of video from the U.S. Capitol to Tucker Carlson of the Fox News Channel, news organizations CBS News, CNN, Politico, ProPublica ABC, Axios, Advance, Scripps, the Los Angeles Times, and Gannett have asked the speaker for equal access to the material.

DID YOU NOTICE,NBC/MSNBC are not included on the list asking for equal access?
As Keith says, NBC is very cozy with Fox.
