    Olbermann sucks

  2. BeeFL

    Can you put up the ratings for Sarah on Saturday night? She was on cable- Fox, C-span, MSNBC, CNN. Wasn’t it airing on the Internet too?

    Thanks!

  3. Gary

    It was also reported today that Red Eye at 3:00 AM beat all of CNN’s Primetime lineup last week, that is amazing, Red Eye is a very funny show by the way.

  4. robert

    “Breaking News”… Msnbc announces new prime time lineup starting march 1st
    Msnbc the place for politics :
    7pm-8pm – Bert and Ernie with special Political contributors Big Bird,Elmo
    8pm-9pm – Countdown with SpongeBob Squarepants..With special Political contributor Pee Wee Herman.
    9pm-10pm – Barney n Friends
    10pm-11pm – The Great Debate With Kermit the Frog and Oscar the Grouch

    Wow what a great lineup!!

  5. Tony

    Maddow reported that tea party members in Nas hville were wearing white hoods on her Friday night show. I was upset till I saw her ratings and realized no one actually heard her say it.

  6. madd

    obamacenteral (nbc) is like a pile of dung we all smell it, we just dont wanna be near it. thanks ill be here all week goodnight

  7. betty

    Ed Schlitz (sic) Covered SARAH’s Speech…..
    Olber-Man was nowhere to be Found………..
    Oh, my !

  8. Steve In Danville, KY

    It seems as president Obamas approval ratings fall (44%) now, MSNBC goes like his ratings do. Seems the State Run Network for Liberals are seeing the truth, oh well they can’t handle the truth, like no one cares anyway

    It really is beyond me how anyone would have stock in a company like NBC anymore, Microsoft had better did associate themselves before the sinking ship goes under water.

  9. Steve In Danville, KY

    disassociate, I mean, sorry I went to a public school and had a liberal teacher dats Y eye nevr kould speel good

  10. DGL

    Robert…props for the news scoop :-)

  11. btone31

    It’s just amazing how all the people that hate MSNBC keep talking about them. I wonder what MSNBC did to them. Get a life.

  12. RALPH

    The fact is we are amazed at what NBC has done to itself.

    I mean — Tingles . Bathtub Boy, Mr. Madcow. What a lineup.

  13. mkurbo

    btone31:

    Maddow comparing tea party folks to KKK ? Talk about getting a life…

  14. robert

    Msnbc should be known as the hate channel.There spin is if you don’t support Obama or us (State Run Media)Msnbc/Cnn there your just a racist.

    The sad part is Olbermann seriously believe all the spin he tells.but look at where he gets his facts from “Media Matters”.

    Olbermann reminds me of that bully i use to kick the crap out of when i was a teen!!

  15. Kenny

    I know o Reilly has people from the other side on his show why doesn’t beck ever have liberals or democrats on he only has people on he agrees with

  16. Another night of over 900k viewers for the dominant Big Keith! Looks like all of us here in Cleveland aren’t the only ones who think he wonderful!

  17. robert

    K.O. lover : February 6, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    All of us here in Baltimore know how wonderful Big Keith is. Another show over 900k viewers….AWESOME!!!

    Wow how many different places do you live???

  18. teresa

    Well in my humble opinion i believe msnbc lost it creditability when you could not tell the difference between fox and msnbc primetime lineup. For the life of me I do not understand why people say ms favors the potus, they are critical of everything he does.. I just do not see favortism . he is being hit from left and right endlessly ,,,,,so when msnbc turned into fox they lost viewers ……that is my humble view,

  19. JC

    10pm-11pm – The Great Debate With Kermit the Frog and Oscar the Grouch”

    So in other words nothing changed :(

  20. mamaearth

    Kenny…….Beck’s show is based more on history, past and present….Intertwined is his message of how the government operates today as well as in the past.

    I’ve learned so much about the history of our nation, its presidents, etc…

    I’ll keep Beck’s show exactly as it is now……Entertaining and enlightening!
