At 5:43 AM PDT, Georgia10 posted this diary — Democratic Church Purge Part II: Action — on Daily Kos.

Meanwhile, Raw Story links to WLOS’s video with this header: “North Carolina church expels Dems || Pastor tells non-Bush supporters they should ‘repent.'”


At 7:17 AM, Addison posts a comment to Georgia10’s diary:

Keith Olbermann (none / 1)


As far as the national media, Keith Olbermann [KOlbermann@msnbc.com] is the best bet to contact if you want this story reported on tonight. You’ll need to get your emails in before 4pm or so (that’s an arbitrary time…) so they have time to obtain the footage of the local news story and edit and produce their own copy.

[Note: There are no replies to Addison’s comment, and Olbermann is not mentioned elsewhere in the diary or comments section.]


At 10:37 AM, I get my daily newsletter from Keith Olbermann’s Countdown on MSNBC. The LEAD STORY — and the first item listed in the newsletter — is:

“Yesterday, on the National Day of Prayer, we learned that the East Waynesville Baptist Church in North Carolina essentially kicked out its Democratic members. Nine members were “excommunicated” and 40 other members of the 405 member church resigned in protest.” (Daily KOS http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/5/6/84353/67437


A major network news program has linked as its primary source – not just a blog — but an individual diarist’s story on that blog. Has that happened before?
