Wow, high ratings for everyone yesterday. Looks like the Discovery gunman helped CNN during the day.
NBC trying to get higher ratings for its cable news, week day, evening,
comedy shows, is adding the new Flat face, Sir Laurence of Arabia show.
to its fall line-up. Larry will follow. Mr. Ed, The talking horse.
The spitter, Christy baby, Matthews that gets tingles up his legs.
Multi talented, the ever popular thousand dollar suit, Herr Olbermann.
The gorgeous, ever glamorous, giggly Rachel Maddow.
Lon’s, show should add more Democratic, Ultra Liberal, Progressive, fun, jokes and laughs to the evenings.
Hmm.. Greta keeps falling.
8pm 9/1 O’Reilly Factor 3,335,000 viewers vs. Countdown w/ Olbermann 1,137,000. That is a complete annihilation. Can Olbermann even be considered in competition with O’Reilly with numbers that bad? Olbermann has such a big ego and is so arrogant. Can you imagine what his ego would be like if he actually had ratings?
Rudy, Having difficulty forming sentences without crass remarks about the people at MSNBC: Flat face, talking horse, spitter, giggly. Can’t you do better than this? I mean, really.
Olbermann’s 10pm time slot is moving to 11 pm this fall…..He”ll be up against O’Reilly in BOTH slots….Does Keith really think his ratings will improve???
Disasters of all types usually help CNN, the Catasrophe News Network. Or is it the Cataclysmic News Network? Either way, CNN must be praying for bad things to happen since it’s the only thing that seems to boost their ratings.
In Keith’s little world I’m sure this loudmouth, cowardly little man thinks he’ll get two time periods worth of ratings/viewers while Bill will only get one (the rerun numbers). Keith Oversizebutt is too afraid to have even one guest with an opposing viewpoint.. I don’t know who is running the ship over at little MSNBC but, with their lineup of goofy talking heads they will never come close to FOX. And without FOX, the dummies on MSNBC would be totally lost.
I don’t know which MSNBC clown is the goofiest. One can make an excellent case for Chris ‘Thrill Up His Leg’ Matthews, Ed ‘Big Mouth Fatso’ Schultz, Keith ‘Coward’ Olberman, or Rachael “I swear that is a man inside that body” Maddow. And now they are about to put the angry one on after Rachael. WOW. MSNBC acts like they want to go off the air for good.
Yeah, MSNBC’s strategy is failing SO badly that they’re adding another hour of original programming instead of just airing repeats. Just two years after expanding another hour. Face it – NBC already has the studios and news infrastructure, so all they’re paying for is the talent. They’re making lots of money here.
LOL Doug_B, LOLOL…
Thanks bud, I needed a good laugh.
MSNBC is moving Olbermann to 10:00pm ! COMCAST will be moving Olbermann out the door.
Maddow is moving to Hollywood to star in new movie “BROKE BUSH MOUNTAIN ”
Matthews is a bowel movment !
That’s pretty good for Bill 3.3 and Glenn 2.5; so the lefties are having their own rally; well monkey see monkey do. I all ready hear the crickets chirping. They’ve gone insane with desperation. What where the ratings for Glenn’s Restoring Honer on C-Span?
olberman & maddow are LOSERS!! ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS FOX, WHICH IS KILLING THEM!!!
Rablor2, if they don’t talk about fox, what rating would they have at all. Ed is also joining that badwagon. Roger and Fox are going to blow all of them out of the water over the next few weeks.
By the way, has anyone heard anything more about the former white house car czar who wrote a tell all book at Obama? Fox Megan Kelly briefly talked about it but no one else has. I guess it will be up to Rush and Sean this week.
