		<description>Olbermann is your typical progressive liberal ... Self Absorbed &amp; Vile.
Funny, he insults and conducts personal attacks on those he disagrees with, yet he can hold down a relationship or attract an audience.

Olbermann cannot even draw more viewers than Bill O&#039;Really&#039;s 2nd airing of the O&#039;Reilly Factor, at 11:00 PM ET.   LoL !!!

Olbermann suffers from a mild case of celiac disease, which explains why he so full of crap. :)
Olbermann also suffered a head injury while “leaping” onto the NYC subway. This head injury permanently upset his equilibrium, resulting in his avoidance of driving.
This would explain why his is a complete moron.

LoL !!!  Having the &quot;top show on MSNBC&quot; is not major accomplishment.  LoL !!!   But then again, Liberals have always amplified their success within their own safe havens.  They don&#039;t even hold a candle to FOX NEWS .... MSNBC is a joke.</description>

		<description>I used to watch Olbermann because I like to subject myself to opposing viewpoints to make sure I can support my own. Olbermann is so full of hate, bias and unwillingness to give credit to anyone that is a little to the right of his leftist ideology I gave up on him. Plus all he does is bring guests on the show that drink the same koolaid. At least O&#039;Reilly and Hannity are willing to subject themselves to people with very different points of view and let the audience decide.  Olbermann needs to go back to sports where he is actually pretty good.</description>

		<description>FoxForever - how right you are!!! Any pragmatic, professional understands that our DEMOCRATIC Government Leadership is a joke.  At one point in my career, I worked for Andersen Consulting and was involved w/ a huge project at the State Dept of Transportation in NJ -- as an implemetation manager on a large I/T effort.  The gov&#039;t supplied several &quot;developers&quot;.. OMG - what a joke... BUSINESS is what makes this world go round&#039; NOT Government.  The Banks (BUSINESS) caused a major recession, unfortunately when George Bush was at the helm.  That problem has been resloved by the Banks (BUSINESS) tightening up the qualifications on loans.  NOW, Government is exploiting that past issue and trying to SOCIALIZE our country.. Obama is spending like a IDIOT.  He has NO clue what he is doing.. None whatsoever.  Allow Business to pull this country back into shape NOT the IDIOCRACY in a Socialized government where hard working tax payers need to pay for the lazy bum democrats out there..</description>

		<description>Hey Burch:
You need to listen to Odorman a whole lot more if he makes you think. You&#039;re not doing a very good job of thinking if you say that Odorman and Rachael use facts. Surely you jest. Oh. I get it. It is satire. Hahaha!!! Go get your Kool aid and a good night&#039;s sleep.</description>

		<description>Keith makes you think.  He and Rachael Maddow at least have facts to back up what they say.  Fox (Fix) news will admit to being a program to entertain.  I will trust MSNBC over any network that adores Rush Limbaugh.</description>

		<description>I normally like to know both sides of any opinion and thats why I try and watch MSNBC but I cant take more than a few minutes of it. With his show in particular I would like to know exactly how many time he has had Bill Oreilly as one of his &quot;worst persons&quot; considering I have never heard Bill mention his name once.</description>

		<description>I watch Olberman every night.  He is one of the few honest personalities on t.v.  Certainly NOT a sheeple tea bagger.  That is refreshing.</description>

		<description>We need more newscasters like Keith Olbermann who thinks out the issues and presents them intelligently.  We are in a day and age where the right wing has taken over most of the media.  The news is now about popularity and not about facts.  At least Mr. Olbermann presents another side and is not fabricating what people have said.  He is at least offering a sane analysis of what is happening in the world.</description>

		<description>tiredofnews, typical comment from a race baiting liberal. You don&#039;t like Obama; YOU&#039;RE A RACIST! You watch FOX news; YOU&#039;RE A RACIST! You don&#039;t like his policies; YOU&#039;RE A RACIST! Racism! Racism! And guess what? more racism!
I don&#039;t like Obama, I watch FOX news, and I don&#039;t like his policies, so I guess I&#039;m a racist. Now if you&#039;ll excuse me I have to go to my Klan meeting now.
So while I&#039;m there, please try to make an intelligent post instead of just playing the ol&#039; race card.</description>

		<description>the news and this site is designed to hate towards the obama not because it its policy but because his race. We have tolerated racist news casters for decades and nothing seems to get done. The people in the united states are not all caucasian. I am an african american who enjoys keith, why because he not only shows us the other side of the Republicans. He has opened the eyes of many people to vote. Your website consistently allows people to show their racist views, no matter what station. Fox needs to be removed permantly due to the fact, the racist are there in full force.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not one who enjoys commercials ~ so, during our nightly viewing of the O&#039;Reilly Factor - during commercials - I humor my 2 boys (11 &amp; 12 years old respectively) by flipping over to &#039;CREEP OGERMANs&#039; pathetic toilet level trash talk.  My sons are mystified at how an individual can be so ANGRY and VILE all the time.  I simply tell them, he&#039;s a Democrat. I tell my 2 boys -- if you work hard in life, you will be rewarded financially.  If you are LAZY and a bum, you will be hurting financially. Republicans reward hard work - Democrats penalize hard work.  Republicans offer tax breaks for hard working Americans. Democrats raise taxes on hard working Americans to support their lazy democratic work ethic in this country.  My sons are young and impressionable -- and this is absolutely the best medecine they&#039;ll ever get!  Listen Up Democrats -- START WORKING FOR A LIVING; GET OFF YOUR REAR ENDS AND DO SOMETHING FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE AND STOP ASKING FOR REPUBLICANS TO BAIL YOU OUT ALL THE TIME.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s an interesting excerpt from a biography about Kieth.

&quot;But despite his success and popularity with viewers, Olbermann left ESPN in 1997 under difficult circumstances. As his ratings grew, so too did his ego. He clashed with co-workers and network management. In 2004, Olbermann published an article in the online magazine Salon.com admitting that his problems at ESPN (and other places he worked) stemmed from his own insecurities and impulse control. ESPN hired him back on a part-time basis to join Patrick on his popular radio show, but banned him from the network’s offices. Management also excluded Olbermann from the guest lineup of its 25th Anniversary “SportsCenter” Reunion Week. It was not the first time Olbermann’s brash personality had angered the powers that be, and it would not be the last.

After ESPN, Olbermann bounced between MSNBC and Fox Sports Net in various show formats, but again he battled management over issues of content and control. At “The Big Show” (MSNBC, 1997) Olbermann grew frustrated that he spent most of his time covering the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He bolted after just one season to anchor and executive produce “The Keith Olbermann Evening News” (FSN, 1998), which, despite its grand-sounding name, was just a “SportsCenter” clone. Without Patrick sitting across the desk from Olbermann, the show lacked chemistry and struggled to find an audience. Olbermann also chafed at working at News Corp-owned Fox, whose conservative chairman Rupert Murdoch stood at the opposite end of the political spectrum from Olbermann.&quot;

I didn&#039;t realize his last stop before MSNBC was FOX.</description>

		<description>Keith Olbermann does not report the news he makes it up!  If MSNBC wants to be last in  Ratings then they have achieved its goals.
Sponsors pay to be on top rated shows not shows with very few viewers.</description>

Everyone commenting on Keith Olbermanns&#039; demise are admitting he&#039;s worth watching because...?   Or don&#039;t watch but heard about his show on.... Fox &quot;news&quot;...?   Or hate him without watching his show because... Fox Told you to ..?  Or need to listen to others reiterate their own opinions they were taught to believe...from ..let me guess... Fox&quot;news&quot;?   That on a page with hundreds of comments, NONE of which has any actual ideas with even a hint of relevance...not unlike... Fox&quot;news&quot;...?   Wow...ignorance, stupidity..with a barely concealed hint of racism...all here..for nothing...absolutely nothing</description>

		<description>Look if MSNBC wants to save Countdown before its totally counted out.  You need a new FORMAT, Keith must do the show from a bathtub.
YES, bathtub boy needs warm water to keep him calm.
Also a ban on mentioning any other show.  KO needs to widen his viewership. Not tell everyone to change the channel. 

Oh KO needs to wash his potty mouth out with soap.  His Scott Brown rant was a BS whopper.</description>

		<description>I know this is a late response, but I had to comment on &quot;Morning&#039;s&quot; objection to Fox News covering a bombing in Baghdad as opposed to a political meeting where the President is speaking with members of his own party.  Don&#039;t we still have an interest in Iraq succeeding?  I think a bombing is far more interesting than hearting the same political talking points over and over and over and over and over...

Plus, haven&#039;t you ever heard - If it bleeds, it leads.</description>

		<description>Sorry about that, hit send instead of tab.

In reading the article that was suggested by Morning, it appears all networks are trending towards older viewership.  However, I wondered if the study might be biased.  It simply is not based upon real numbers that are posted on this site, every day.</description>

		<description>Wow! Now &quot;King&quot; Edward has ruled that I&#039;m stupid. &quot;King&quot; Edward said I can&#039;t communicate in english.
&quot;King&quot; Edward has nothing to fall back on in his tilted small world. All he has is personal attacks...as usual. 
&quot;King&quot; Edward, I don&#039;t need to read your spew again. Every time I try, my IQ drops. And if it drops any more I&#039;ll be watching Olbermann along with the small minded individuals. And the kingdon of Edward is already overpopulated with just one person. A fool. And that&#039;s just enough.
Thank you for the laughs though. Keep em coming! You do make a great fool. Best yet!</description>

		<description>Morning, I agree with you on the history channel. My dad has it on all the time and I only see a few seconds of it, and almost everytime it is end of the world related, usually involving 2012. I swear they try to associate EVERYTHING with 2012.</description>

		<description>The fact is people think KO is insane and angry and people don&#039;t want to watch him.  The argument that &quot;KO&#039;s ratings are so bad because Obama won the election&quot; doesn&#039;t hold up.  

Rush Limbaugh (who I also don&#039;t like) was huge during the Clinton years, but didn&#039;t hemorrhage listeners when GWB was elected (twice) the way KO has.  People kept listening to Rush, even though his people were in charge.  (Now go ahead and make the argument about how Right Wingers are a bunch of uneducated lemmings --- I don&#039;t buy it one bit).  

It has less to do with who&#039;s in the WH than KO himself.</description>

		<description>@luckyjoe I said read the sentence again, not the post. And you&#039;re right.. just because you&#039;re too stupid to communicate effectively in English on a blog does not mean that all FNC viewers are the same... but probably a good deal are.

And what&#039;s this real world you speak of? Is it filled with REAL Americans? rofl. Be quiet before you hurt your brain.</description>

		<description>Might as well throw in one final point.

CNN dominates the web news business (although MSNBC and FOX are slowly pulling share.) I expect to see a huge spike at CNN for January with the Haiti disaster, being there is no question they had the most comprehensive coverage (by leaps and bounds.)

We need to remember that while older generations are the primary cable news watchers, more and more Americans watch CNN online, or on their phone. The dynamics are changing and it is hard to calculate a given networks true reach by just looking at nightly ratings and overall website traffic.

		<description>&quot;The numbers just don’t lie.&quot;

Actually, they do. Fox News is a niche channel, not mainstream (the same goes for the other cable news channels.)

Only about 1% of the population is watching at any given time. While the break down shows what seems like even splits among party affiliation you have to understand that party affiliation is NOT equal. So what it boils down to is that the lion&#039;s share of Fox News ratings come from the South, Republicans and older Americans.

On the other side of the coin, 25 Million Americans get their news daily from ABC, NBC and CBS evening broadcasts.

Cable news has become something people watch to see their team win. You watch Fox if you want to hear Republican talking points. You watch MSNBC if you want to hear Democratic talking points. And you flip to CNN if there is breaking news.

Just because a channel has high ratings says nothing of its integrity. The History Channel used to only have shows about history. Great documentaries and I was always tuning in. Now, it is mostly programs about asteroids hitting earth and Nostradamus, not to mention worthless reality shows about people driving trucks in Canada and loggers - which have nothing to do with history. Guess what? Their ratings are going through the roof! Why? Most Americans don&#039;t care about the history of the Roman Empire, but they love drama! 

Fox News takes advantage of this best with their talking heads and that is why they rate so well. It is not about the news, it is about drama, conflict and cheering on the home team...</description>

		<description>I have Comcast basic cable so I used to watch MSNBC on clear QAM until Comcast started scrambling it. My guess is that lots of people can&#039;t watch Countdown any more unless they pay for digital programming. FoxNews is still available though on basic cable.</description>

		<description>Edward. I understood your post perfectly. I don&#039;t need to read your idiotic post again. See, the reason you won&#039;t respond is simple. I&#039;m right. You can not dispute me. Again, &quot;King&quot; Edward has ruled a non believer stupid. &quot;King&quot; Edward thinks a FNC viewer can&#039;t understand his simple little post. I understand you perfectly. And I still laugh at your idiotic posts. In your narrow mind you may be king of a kingdom of one. But here in the real world we see you for what you really are. The court fool. And boy does this fool make us all laugh like a good fool should do. Again, thanks for the laughs.</description>

		<description>lol @ &quot;English as in UK&quot; ... colour is English. if you want to drop letters that&#039;s your business.

@luckyjoe There&#039;s no point to responding to any of the points you made since you don&#039;t even understand the simple sentence you quoted. Read it again.

@demonjoe Fortunately, I&#039;m not an American so I don&#039;t really know what koolaid you&#039;re talking about.

So tomorrow morning or the next day... when you switch on your tv and put it to fox news... and you giggle while the morning hosts make little faces when they&#039;re talking about Obama, or they bring on someone to tell you why you&#039;re not a good Christian if you don&#039;t support Israel 100%, or when they bring on some other wackadoo to talk about the evil that is Iran... just know... you are responsible for the consequences :) Every time you ignore that feeling (those of you who can feel it anyway) that says &quot;this is wrong&quot;... you are responsible. &quot;My fellow Americans...&quot;</description>
