  1. I know why Keith Olbermann is so unlikable-he hates everyone, especially those least like him. He seems very intolerant of those with different opinions just like the Nazi storm troopers. Olbermann is a German, right?. I’ve seen the YouTube video on him giving the Nazi salute…RACIST PIG!

    I don’t know if I’d call him a Nazi, but Keith Olbermann definitely has a screw loose. There is some deep seated anger there that will probably manifest itself in some terrible tragedy down the road. Seek help Mr. Keith. Seek help and EXHALE!

    Looking at the demo for Bill O’Reilly 25-54 I see why I get a blank stare from my friends when I ask if they watched the Factor. Is this a normal demo number for cable or is this just really low? Maybe all the other viewers are 18-24? (One can dream I guess)

    Well, another week has gone by and Bill O creams Keith O again. When is PMSnbc going to get it? Oh yeah…..NEVER. The meltdown continues. This has got to be the most entertaining hour on tv. Keith’s close relationships with move on dot org. the Huff and puff ington post, Michael Moore, Jane Fonda and company, Air(head) America and all of the left wing crackheaded nutjobs out there are in a feeding frenzy looking for anything they can get their hands on. I’m looking forward to seeing the ratings numbers for the next week but won’t be surprised.
    For EZ1, as I stated in a previous post, look for Keith to hang himself one night after one of his shows tanks again. I mean, how much longer can he put up with himself? Just watching his BUSHie eyebrows quiver gives me chills.

    Yes, we can hope that “Countdown” is on meltdown. But the free speech that we cherish allows him to spew his venom and the marketplace will determine how long he does so. He is now rehearsing for his venom on John McCain should McCain be elected president – Yes it will be a rerun of his hatred for all else conservative. In his view anything right of Rachel Madow is conservative.
    His free speech allows him to spew and our freedom allows me to boycott our local NBC affiliate even though I realize they have nothing to do with MSNBC programing. It doesn’t sound rational, perhaps, but I have to do something.

    Another week, same posts. It’s getting tired. BOR’s audience is on a slight downward climb, while Olbermann has increased his audience dramatically year-over-year. If I’m not mistaken, a year ago KO was averaging about 600,000 viewers a night, now he hovers near a million. BOR has decreased about 5-10% in that time (a vitural non-move). KO’s audience is also much, much younger than BOR’s – witness the 25-54 numbers. FNC skews very old in general and these number bear that out.

    NBC is thrilled with KO’s performance – he’s far and away the top rated series on MSNBC and one of the few good-news stories in general in the group of NBC networks. Likewise, Fox is very happy with BOR’s continued dominance, even if they’d like the audience to be a little younger.

    I don’t see why you people slam KO so much – he’s essentially BOR on the other side of the spectrum. Everything you accuse KO of doing, BOR does it just as much or more. I’ve watched both, so I know. Remember BOR being surprised that black people were so civilized at that Harlem restaurant? I haven’t seen anything as profoundly foot-in-mouth on KO.

  13. Type “Keith Olbermann” and “Nazi salute” into Google and you’ll find the Youtube video with Keith doing exactly that. WTFO, bro?

    Doug – Can’t let a mis-representation slide. “Remember BOR being surprised that black people were so civilized at that Harlem restaurant? ” If you listened to the entire conversation you would not have gotten that out of it. (I would also correct a mis-representation about Keith Olbermann even though I don’t like his program.) Anyway, back to the numbers. That’s what we’re here for right?

    Notice how Oreily/Hanity/Limbaugh never mention KO? They just totaly IGNOR him. Ouch. That’s some major disrepect, dude.
    But, as my boss says, Never punch down.

    Kieth tried to beat the hell out of BOR over his remarks at that Harlam Restaurant. BUT
    Randy Rhodes’ vulgar rants abour Hillary & Ferraroin San Francisco were ignored by KO on “Countdown”. If someone from FOX or CNN had
    maid the exact same comments at the same club in San Francisico, KO would have made endless rants and references to it. Keith – there is a little stink of hyprocracy, double standards, selective contrived rage and even cowardice here!
