Olbermann shot his load during the elections last week. Now hes back to ratings in the toilet
olberdork outdrawn by BOR 1,808,000. can you say “slip sliding away” KO
As far you saying in last night special comments that no one that you have “noone in your very extend family who is gay” KO, you may want to check out the show that follows yours. Madcow is butch to the core.
Morning Joe passes American Morning! Thank god.
Seriously, Morning Joe > You
Yeah, but Morning Joe lost in the key demo…..and as all of these KO fans say, that is the all important number….
j/k…I actually like Joe!
How could you say his ratings is in the toilet, when its still 2million plus and its third most watched show…idiot
Greta almost hit the 4 million mark.
That was due to Gov. Palin.
I’m to tired to do the numbers but it looks to me
like R. Maddow is slipping slightly yes…but she is holding
her numbers much tighter than Olbermann.
I see erosion for Olberman…I do not really see it for Maddow.
It’s funny how MSNBC had a ratings decrease from Friday to Monday while Fox News had a ratings increase….a ratings increase would make sense since most people do other things besides what TV on a friday night. I guess BO and Hannity having a day off effected the ratings a bit….
You can always tell Olbermann fans because they call people “idiots” “rethugs”
but then again they are fed a nightly diet of the “Worst Show in the World!”
Campbell Brown will catch Olberman soon…her numbers are climbing.
I find it bothersome that KO names the same people over and over as the worst people in the world….I mean come on….wouldn’t you say that there are a lot of REAL bad people in the world he can name then taking stabs at BO, HANNITY and RUSH LIMBAUGH
KO denied being gay on last nites show. Are there rumours that he was?
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I think it’s because he was never married.
Olbermann is playing to the Loons on the left of which is also their leader of sorts.
He is a hero to the people who think every word out of Rush Limbaughs mouth is a lie…Hannity is a liar…Britt Hume is evil…everyone lies but Keith.
Rush completely ignores Olberman as far as I can tell and if I had 20 million people a day listening to me I probably would too.
Olberman wants them to talk about him and stir his numbers up.
But I even have a family member who likes Olbermann but she thinks he is slightly insane.
I used to watch Chris Matthews 25 years ago on the McClaughlin Group.
Anytime he said anything John McClaughlin would stare at him and then scream:
WRONG!!!
Matthews is a NE Liberal hard core…but he knows his Politics.
Olbermann is an radical-ideolog and a dishonest revisionist of the worst sort.
Fox Noise must be stopped before they ruin PRESIDENT OBAMA and his agenda.
Fox Noise = KKK
I must say Pink Bear, you sure are giving FOX News a lot of credit.
It’d certainly be embarassing for a President to be “ruined” by a single news station, would it not?
Pink Bear….that is just insulting!
If O’Reilly had 2 million viewers and was third most watched show, the Olbermann fans would be cheering the end of O’Reilly. For Olbermann to have those numbers, they cheer his success. As far as the “idiot” comment, this defines idiocy.
See, this is how dumb the BOR fans are. They are all concerned about winning the ratings war. Ahem, excuse me but we won the election. You can keep your ratings war.
RfrancisR, you’ve taken a wrong turn. You are on a TV ratings website. You know, those things you don’t care about???
Rich: No, actually Fox News itself has been known to call the demo the all important “money demo”, and billo the clown based his conspiracy theories on it.
Also, it is pretty well known that younger people are not known to watch morning shows, so the main demographic for that time of day is older people in their late 50s and 60s.
In terms of quality Olbermann is 1000 times better than Bill o the clown. One of the reason’s clown’s “LIATHAON” gets ratings is because conservatives who celebrate ignorance watch this crap. Where as dem viewers are distributed across various networks. Also a lot of people watch it on internet like me. I don’t have either MSNBC or FOX news. But i never miss Olbermann on the internet. If you consider internet viewership also Olberman has 10 times more reach than the clown can dream of.
