Oh noers, MySpace is teaming up with MSNBC to hold a "citizen journalist" contest, with the prize being a trip to either the DNC or RNC (depending on which party your Top Eight friends are voting for) and continuing exposure on MSNBC. The submission deadline was mid-July, so unfortunately you missed out on this once-in-a-blogtime opportunity. Again, most bloggers/people on the internet do not have the credentials to do objective reporting, but hey, it's MSNBC so luckily that's not a requirement. But cranky Keith Olbermann won't agree to having xxxSEXYJESSY82xxx or whomever on his program. Is this because MySpace is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the older and grouchier media kingpin? Olbermann's reps have said that the conditions of the contest only extend to the winner appearing on Morning Joe, but Keith has heard of the phenomena of MySpace-face and doesn't want to be upstaged by a sixteen year old with better hair.

Perhaps Keith is just being true in his contempt of Murdoch by refusing to participate in this most minor of issues this year.
I LOVE Keith! He has the best show on cable. On the other hand, Joe Scarborough (sp.?) is a patronizing, pompous, right leaning nut. Cannot stand Morning Joe because of him. He is so disrespectful to his co-host Mika Brzezinski. I love her. She is a very sharp, smart lady but Joe interrupts her and talks over her all the time. So rude!
