So keith Oldermann was wrong, No Big Names

A few more tweets like this, he can join Claude Taylor, and Louise Mensch.

Is this a thing for some Journos now to tweet out that some big names are going down,
and then nothing happens.

hit something.

Learned my lesson with Fitzmas. Would wake up every few hours hoping for news. This time, though, there are some indictments, and likely more coming. But, I'll wait until the cuffs click.

He did tweet about some media types who were in the sexual harassment crosshairs.

and the same ones that did not want to renew LAwrence O'donnell's show even though he was doing well in the ratings. they only renewed after people started contacting them and demanding they keep the show.

if he did he would be using his voice. Keith is an opportunist that writes books about Trump then leaves the spotlight after he sells a million or so. Sorry, I saw through his ways a long time ago. IMO he is a better sportscaster than political jagoff.

The guy is going on 60 years old. Its not up to you when or how he should use his voice. He isn't a politician. He is a private citizen that has done more than his share for our side. Countdown is what made me a liberal after the 2004 election fiasco in Ohio.

I will stand by my opinion of him being an opportunist - He is ALL about making money.

Tell me why doesn't Keith vote in elections?!? Hmmmm. People that care about this country usually vote, right? LOL

It doesn't really matter anyway, New York always goes for the Democrat.

Your opinion on him seems to be steeped in non-issue horse shit.

"I will stand by my opinion of him being an opportunist..."

And others stand by their opinion two plus two equals yellow. Lacking any objective evidence to support the allegation, both opinions hold the precise same lack of weight.

'Whatever,' indeed...
