Olbermann's "Countdown" Puppet Theater features O'Reilly/Obama Staffer Confrontation
TV Newser: Sunday, Jan 06
Puppet Theater: The O'Reilly Edition?

From a TVNewser tipster: "NBC and MSNBC doing on-air promos of 'Puppet Theater' of O'Reilly incident on Countdown tomorrow (Monday)."

The origins of Puppet Theater go back to Countdown's coverage of the Michael Jackson trial in 2005. With no cameras in the courtroom, Keith Olbermann and his staff re-enacted that day's testimony complete with photo cutouts, tongue depressors and comedic exaggeration.

7. Love Keith, love the Puppet Theater, but....
I'd much prefer seeing him report on the latest bombshell from Sibel Edmonds.

8. Has he covered Sibel Edmonds in the past?
I'm not able to watch every night, so I don't know. I ask because I once e-mailed a part of a story that was only being discussed here, and the point ended up with a mention in KO's coverage of the story. You've probably contacted the show, but if not, it's worth a try.

I just now went to the MSNBC site to find an e-mail address, but I couldn't find it for the life of me. Maybe someone else knows the "Countdown" contact info.
