    Craig,

    What keeps Fox News on the air? At least Keith uses actual facts in his rants whereas the Fox talking heads use ones they made up.

    Keith's ratings are down because liberals are disappointed in the Democratic leadership for running around like chickens with their heads cut off, infighting and too afraid to use their mandate to their advantage. It is hard to focus on politics when your team acts like the losers even when they win. That's why I don't watch much anymore. Nothing to do with Keith and everything to do with feeling like even when we win we are moving backwards instead of forwards (albeit at a much slower pace than when Republicans are in control). If Democrats would grow a spine and move their agenda forward their popularity would increase, we'd have something to celebrate, and Keith's ratings would be on the rise.

    Puppet strings. On and in the air.

    What lies are you referring to that FOX News's “talking heads” make up?

    FOX News is just plain garbage. Can't rely on them, can't trust them, they're not fair, they don't relate to ALL Americans-they stink.

  7. Unicon

    His rantings go up…while his ratings go down

  8. Jimbo

    Here we go again; the lame stream media and the anointed one have also ignored the flood in TN, Joe Sestak job offer scandal; frak up the oil spill, doing nothing on the border, soft on terrorism, bowing to our enemies, I could list more, take the hole page. Is he the worst president we ever had judge is still out on that, the worst has yet to come. What keeps them on the air, the Obama Zombie watch the Obama Zombie channel.

    Standard Excuse from Cackling Ghouls as FOX Wins all Demographics………
    ” You Cheated ! and, I'm gonna take my marbles and go home.” Waaaaaaaaaaaa ! ……….
    OlberMental DOWN 23 %………Feels So Good !

  10. 3637

    Oh, this is a New One……”OlberJerk's Ratings are Down because I don't Watch him much any more.”………….Hullo ?
    No, his Ratings are Down because he's Completely Unlikeable, thus Unwatchable.

  11. “I could list more, take the hole page.”

    The best part about this isn't that you're reusing a six-day-old post nearly verbatim, it's that you kept the spelling error.

    Craig, People like me happen to like the AH. So, I get to watch my AH and you get to watch yours. Deal?

  13. 1nancy2

    3637, Funny, you are unlikeable and unreadable, but here you are. That's the American way.

  14. Jimbo

    I don't know what spelling error you see I use frak instead of the F word which doesn't get posted. Don't have to be a god damm spelling ace on these comments.

  15. Classic.

  16. i liked this site better when comments were cut off how come every time cable news ratings are posted its always turns into politics than name calling grow up

    Are they tracking his ratings at 8:00 pm/7:00 CST? If that's the case, then it's probably because a lot of liberal viewers were either enjoying the lengthening daylight, watching the season finales of network TV shows, or catching his repeat broadcast at 10:00 PM/9:00 CST. At least I was catching his repeat broadcasts so I could watch the finales of 24, 30 Rock, House, and other programs.

  18. My dishonest massive media corporation gets more revenue than your dishonest massive media corporation!

  19. Quick word on Fox “News” ratings: An afterschool poetry reading will attract a couple of prisses. An afterschool knifefight between two special-ed candidates will attract a couple hundred mouthbreathing paste-eaters. Olbermann is fighting the good fight, no matter the “ratings”. Nielsen ratings are so archaic anyway – Fox's ratings are about as meaningful as a North Korean election…

  20. Unicon

    Okay.. assuming Nielsen ratings are so archaic and all…
    Should we just give the “win” to the asshat who tweets the most?
    Hey….that way your ranting clown-boy would finally beat O'Reilly !!!1!!!
