Malcolm Nance just quoted DU on Stephanie Miller's show!

[nolabear]

I have to go back and look for it but he specifically said he’d read a post on DU on Trump and Ukraine. Anyone else able to go back and find it?

I’m a little geeky about Nance I’ll admit. But also love knowing we’re a presence. DU as a news source has always been a source of pride, I’ll admit.

[SoonerPride]

1. OK, you got me. This is Malcom Nance's DU profile.

Interesting that we know he is at least a lurker here, if not a poster.

[JHB]

4. Or maybe someone tweeted the post and it came up on his feed

Still, if that was the case, he bothered to follow the link and read it.

[nolabear]

12. Quite the disguise there, Mr. Nance.

I’d never have suspected.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. ???? Where is profile?

[SoonerPride]

22. Me. I am Malcom Nance.

That was the joke.

Or it was supposed to be anyway

[Kaleva]

38. I thought the ROFLMAO emoji was the profile

[Laura PourMeADrink]

54. Lol. Yikes the pandemic stole my sense of humor!

[PCIntern]

68. He probably knows how to spell his first name!

Just sayin’….

[FreepFryer]

2. Interested in the context for his mention - overwordy? Polarized? Poor image embed support? :)

[wryter2000]

25. A New York Times article posted here

Something about their stoopid reporting.

[BlueJac]

3. Saw that too...

Awesome.

[EYESORE 9001]

5. I've heard Thom Hartmann mention DU

I don’t listen much nowadays, so I wonder if he still makes reference.

[leftieNanner]

6. Thom Hartmann posts here all the time

He's a member of DU.

[EYESORE 9001]

7. Thank you for reminding me

I had forgotten that.

[nolabear]

10. I knew he's around. A couple of people keep up.

I must confess I geeked out a little with Malcolm. 😃 He yells what I think much of the time.

[PCIntern]

13. He has quoted me twice that I know of

on his show. I was PM’d by other members. A great honor….

[SoonerPride]

14. oh wow that IS cool!

Congrats on being recognized as someone worthy of quoting.

[PCIntern]

15. He once read one of my long posts

in its entirety. I have the show somewhere having downloaded it at the time.

[DFW]

29. He even read my book and gave it a rave review on his show!

Now THAT was appreciated!

[nolabear]

31. Damn!

[DFW]

39. I did give him credit for having a mutual interest in one of our favorite historical characters

If I remember correctly, a friend of his saw my reference to him in the credits, and recommended he read it, which he did. It was of cour entirely up to him whether or not like it and mention it on the radio!

[PCIntern]

52. Wow!

What’s your book? I’ll buy it and read it!

[DFW]

62. I hope it's to your liking!

Not everyone has the same tastes, I understand. But if you're willing to try, here you go:

[PCIntern]

66. Thank you!

I’ll get back to you after I’ve read it!

[DFW]

67. Fair enough. I'll take my chances.

A friend of mine whose opinion I valued very highly told me that he'd read it, but he wouldn't hold back if he didn't like it. He was no stranger to story telling, as the story of an important part of his life was once made into a film that was Oscar nominated and a Golden Globe winner (though it was anything BUT true to the real story). I told him I'd take my chances. His comments appear on the back cover. You'll see who I am talking about when you get it. The best comment I got, though, was from Spider-Man creator Stan Lee. That's the last one on the back cover. You'll see that one, too

[lunatica]

50. He quoted me once

Other DUers told me about it.

[tblue37]

21. Hartmann is a DUer. He posts here sometimes.

[davsand]

8. We've known for years that DU is a reading place for a variety of people who like information.

Other than the "Agent Mike" jokes about surveillance here, there have been any number of times stuff from DU has turned up in interviews with some well respected folks. Our LBN forum is a huge resource because anything that appears there has GOT to be linked to at least one mainstream news source. You can read news here and have a reasonable expectation that it's going to be legit. Something else that has always been a huge plus, IMO, is the benefit of reports from DUers on the ground where stuff is happening. What you see happening might only be a part of the story, but it sometimes that offers an insight that is WAY ahead of the news cycle.

Some of our speculation can turn out to be wrong once more facts are available, but even that is often supported by opinions from some pretty well informed/educated people.

Take the interpersonal stuff out of the mix, and DU is a pretty handy resource if you are looking for information.

11. I've long appreciated our willingness to fact check and call out bad info.

I can be as bad as anyone re not posting good links or (as I did here) posting without being able to quote exactly what was said, but I agree. DU is a better self-correcting source of info than a fair amount of media.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. +1. David Cay Johnston, the tRump financials detective, also a member, spoke highly of DU facts. nt

[CaptainTruth]

32. Me too. It's much appreciated.

[Hortensis]

19. I'd imagine most glancing in here would be to check

mood, to get a notion of what's happening with "us," and to see if messages seem to be getting through -- and which and whose. And of course also a potential source of anecdotes and observations from our experiences.

[Bettie]

9. I was weirdly excited

that he comes here.

[3catwoman3]

16. Mr. Nance is most impressive.

I would not want him to be pissed off at me.

[Chicagogrl1]

17. I have such a crush on Mr Nance 💗

[PatrickforB]

20. That is good news!

The fact that movers and shakers read posts on this site is great. We DO make a difference, just with that, as well as with all the other involvement people around here have.

[Botany]

23. Both Steph & Malcom Nance read DU all the time.

Steph give DU a shout out tomorrow

[Unwind Your Mind]

59. Steph was also poaching soup puns from here this morning

That gave me a chuckle

[Botany]

60. She steals almost all of her material .....

... she hasn't written anything new since "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

End of story.

[wryter2000]

24. I heard that

It was in reference to something here about the New York Times.

[pandr32]

27. That's awesome!

We are a community that matters. We are validated!

[multigraincracker]

28. A while back I was misquoted

by a Teabagger.

I know that doesn’t count.

[L. Coyote]

30. The #TuckyoRose episode:

[Traildogbob]

33. Go Navy

DU can not be considered a legit news source until Tucker blows a fuse on his Nazi show about how fake we are and left radicalized. That’s the ultimate stamp of approval. Nance is brilliant. Wish my Chief woulda been that great.

[nolabear]

35. Hmmmmm...now how can we bait Tuckums into a freakout?

Adopt Skittles’ “Taste the rainbow” as our slogan? M&Ms had his knickers in a twist.

Nickname the old vax hypocrite Jabber the Slut?

Jam his Twitter account with videos of that old chestnut “Convoy”? Nah, he’d love that.

[malaise]

48. Ask him why his mommy hatd him

That is all

[KS Toronado]

43. Could bait him with an outrageous lie

Something so outrageous nobody would ever believe, but tucker would think his magaloons would.

[multigraincracker]

34. "Tuckyo Rose"

Yes!

[Richluu]

36. Nance is probably referring to our knowledgeable commenter

It was probably this article, comments by bluedogsd who speaks Russian and speaks with knowledge about Russia and Ukraine.

https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2022/2/8/2079265/-Putin-is-pretty-much-screwed-at-this-point-Pretty-damn-sure

[Quakerfriend]

37. I think Hillary checks in here too, once in awhile.

[nolabear]

40. BE STILL MY HEART.

I’m going to cling to that notion.

[Quakerfriend]

42. Awww, I knew it was you, NB!

Thank you

[Raine1967]

41. I heard that!

I was pretty happy to see DU get some credit -- I know a few radio hosts use DU for research.

I'm geeky about Nance too. He lives in the county where I grew up and my friends see him around town.

[nolabear]

44. I went back and found what he said.

That he was reading a DU post this morning quoting the NYT as saying all those documents they absconded with was “no big thing.” It was in the context of his warning that Democrats have to take this shit seriously or we’ll fall into fascism by just that—not taking it seriously.

To be clear he was saying DU was sending out the same warning.

[musclecar6]

45. Yeah

Malcolm Nance is guy with a brain that is a pleasure for us to listen to. I’d be surprised if he didn’t hang out on here. Like us, I’m sure he wants to spend time around us to clear his head from the MAGA morons and the rest of the all about them and fuck everyone else republican party. Yes there are some moderate republican party members who have a heart, but they are not in the majority by far

[Warpy]

46. I've heard myself and a few others quoted

but it happened more often in the early days, back when the site was manageably small. I'm convinced a lot of media people come here for our take on news stories because training in bafflegab doesn't translate to critical thinking

Bless their hearts.

[StClone]

49. Keith Olbermann used to post here, may be still does

I got into a chat with him here and he picked up on my "Bill O'Reilly as Frank Burns" and used that mocking comparison for years on-air. There was another comment of mine he picked out but slips my mind what it was exactly.

[wnylib]

51. That's a good comparison

Bill O'Reilly as Frank Burns.

I would nominate Sarah Palin as Hot Lips, but she'd probably love that.

[kimbutgar]

53. I heard that this morning

Thom Hartmann mentions this site but I think those on the media who are liberal don’t want to bring it up so we don’t get plagued by right ring trolls.

DU is our secret forum.

[uponit7771]

55. +1, DU was the most visited poli-forum in 2015 election outside of reddit which is hard to narrow

... down.

Then DU got hacked, relatively small signed in DU got hacked and the hackers knew what they were doing too so it wasn't a 101 job.

For what ?!

Yeah, I would put money on it that DU is at minimum a trial balloon resource for both sides at least.

Something is happening here

[mountain grammy]

56. Yes I heard that too.

Pretty cool.

[Upthevibe]

57. Malcom Nance rocks!!!

He's the best!!!

[Skittles]

58. what's not to love?

*SWOON*

[nolabear]

61. I heard that!

[YoshidaYui]

64. Right??

[Skittles]

65. he's a Lib with bedroom eyes

yes INDEED!

[Grasswire2]

63. Those on twitter can correspond directly to him, and that's nice. nt
