Sort of graphs that would give Eric Boehlert of Media Matters serious heartburn.
Big Keith is at or above a million viewers WAY more often than he is below a million. That is awesome, what a feat!!! And, he knows sports. I bet he hangs out with Tiger….
If I were routinely trounced by my rival on the opposite side of the political spectrum I don’t think “awesome” is how I’d summarize the situation.
it is pathetic that a personal cheap-shot artist who hasn’t the guts to interview those he rants against can be taken seriously by anyone. hey keith, how does it feel to be a total left-wing suckup? johnny g.
Sad numbers. Sad right-wing suckups.
The only chart I have ever seen plunge quicker than the “Jock Sniffer” turned “News Guy’s” was the NASDAQ after the dot com bubble.
Controversy = Attention = Ratings = Dollars. Fox News is for TV ratings what Adam Lambert is for Billboard Charts. A lot of noise, little substance.
Johnny G. – you said it perfectly. Just like most Alinsky-based Liberals and Democrats, Obermann falls back on innuendo and vilification when he can’t compete logically – which apparently is ALL THE TIME….
Obermann should’ve stayed on ESPN
Eduardo – I’m gonna take a guess here and say you are a liberal. Just going by your name. Also, its not the Conservatives who are the suck ups. Its the liberals who are sucking Obama’s teets and other regions.
Us conservatives know that Obama is the worst president EVER. No other president has done this much harm to our country.
I haven’t watched the Milkman’s show since August of 08. Does he still have the funny little gay guy from New York appear? As I recall, he seemed to have a real problem with women.
Read this is a NY post article…..”Comcast also said it would not interfere with NBC News programming, that it would strengthen local content production and increase programming for minority groups and children.”
Well, so much for any increased ratings and any sort of true reporting or balance from NBC or MSNBC….I was hoping with the takeover a more relevant, believable, and non government run news station would form…..i guess not. Oh well, nobodys watching anyways. As for minority and childrens programming….isn’t that the entire line up at MSNBC???
Maybe if MSNBC would stop bashing Fox their ratings wouldn’t continue to decline. Seriously, the whole reason I started watching Fox is because of MSNBC. A couple of years ago I began to watch the news and become more aware of whats happening in our country and world. I started at MSNBC for really no particular reason. And I swear, they mentioned how HORRIBLE Fox is ALL the time – suggesting their bias, intolerant, biggots, racist. You name it they said it. One night some guy said Bill O’Reilly blamed the women married to a steroid induced wrestler for her death after he strangled her. So the next day I clicked onto O’Reilly to see what the fuss was all about – never switched back since then. I soon became a fan on practically every show on Fox, especially The O’Reilly Factor, Hannity and Colmes, and Your World with Neil Cavuto.
CNN and MSNBC don’t report the real news, just the liberal BS. Hard to judge Keith, nobody watches him….
Do you remember a year ago, when MSNBC touted Olbermann’s strong performance in the 25-54 demographic? Well, that is now his weak spot. He has lost almost 80% of his viewers in this influential group in just a few months. That is an amazing achievement.
But give Olbermann some credit. He is still doing okay with 2-years-olds and senile senior who don’t know how to work the remote control.
Here is an excellent example of why MSNBC and their far left shows are keeping down their ratings: Rachel Maddow has suddenly decided that the conservatives are responsible for the term “tea-baggers”. When you have to blatently lie and change recent history, you know that A. you cannot prove your point with truth, and B. you know you are really afraid that the far left is losing:

Its ok tho Rachel, keep it up, it only hurts your cause.
olberdouche and maddcow have teabag envy and both have surpressed sexual fantasies for palin…this explains all the vile and hate spewing from their rabid mouths– unrequited feelings. Olberdouche for being fired from fox and maddcow who knows she could never stand a chance with a real woman like palin
To GBD: Yeah, no doubt those grapes would be sour anyway.
O’Reilly’s interviews are becoming torcherous. Most of his moderate to right leaning guests are treated with disdain if they criticize Obama. He’s still trying to get that one on one interview with the president. He appears to be holding back on what he really believes. That is the difference between Beck, Hannity and even Greta…they don’t hold back. It’s kinda like watching “O’Reilly Lite.”
O’Reilly is easily the most balanced commentator on Fox. People criticize him all of the time but the fact is he is FAIR to the President. If you watched regularly, you would see that. Bill is the way the media USED to be..criticize and question the government as opposed to what Olbermann and Hannity do..criticze ONLY the sides that oppose their political bent. O’Reilly DOES have a point of view and he doesn’t hide it. He’s for the folks, protecting children, and against political correctness. That’s why his ratings keep rising.

Awwwww come on now. Don’t you think this talking point is a little old now? If it was the reverse, and Olbermann was on top of the ratings I’m sure all you liberals would be doing a happy dance and announcing it to the world.
Btw O’Reilly has been number one for a while now, even before Obama became President. So the talking point doesn’t fit the puzzle really.
