Keith Olbermann loses to Nancy Grace in Ratings War? Ha!
Chickaboomer ^ | 9/16/08 | Marty

Posted on 09/17/2008 9:42:42 AM PDT by GPSkins

Looks like Olbermann isn’t starting the week off on a good foot. The Edward R. Murrow Apparition was unable to claim his usual #2 spot at 8PM in 25-54 last night. (That's Olbermann's primal scream Rorschach inkblot). Placing fourth on Friday during a big night of news – Hurricane Ike, Olbermann was not able to climb back to his perch. Instead, he was #3 last night in his time slot, behind Nancy Grace.

Monday 8PM 25-54 Ratings: FNC’s O’Reilly Factor: 773,000 in 25-54 demo (had 3.5 million viewers last night) Headline’s Nancy Grace: 586,000 in 25-54 MSNBC’s Countdown: 571,000 in 25-54 CNN Election Center: 456,000 in 25-54

So, Keith can't even beat Nancy Grace in the ratings? I thought MSNBC was a huge joke before this, but this is just really sad.

MSNBC needs its plug pulled. It has turned into the Air-America of cable news. Pitiful.

MSNBC is in that slow death spiral. Kinda like excrement going down the toilet.

With the amount of excrement at MSNBC, it is gonna take a plunger. And a big plunger at that.

MSNBC is an echo chamber. Only 1 side. the far left.

Whose idea was this anyway???? “Let’s see, how about we launch a show which appeals to the nuttiest of the nuttiest?”

How did he ever get his job? His football commentary is just as atrocious.

What about the new moon-bat, Rachel Maddow. I didn’t hink anyone could be more smug, arrogant, condesceding, and childish than Olbermann . . . but then she came along.

I think what’s even more interesting is that CNN’s Election Center trails them all...

I knew the NBC networks were in trouble when they brought in Alan Keyes and he smoked Donahue in the same time spot but they canceled Keyes anyway.

Why is it that all liberal “political pundits” are so unfunny? O’Reilly is not my cup of tea, too much of an egoist. But he does manage to get in a few lines and even poke fun at himself. Rush is hysterical no matter what you think of his political views. Olbermman? A lot of hate, vitriole and vindictive sniping. He is preaching to the choir and I bet, in his few years at a MessNBC he has persuade no-one.

Re: Liberal wackos not being funny. You forgot Bill Maher. For a comedian, he is really unfunny. And lest you think I am prejudice because of his politics, I will tell you of a very liberal comedian who is funny. His name is Doug Stanhope. I disagree with 99% of his politics, but at least he is clever and funny. Bill Maher is just an insipid idiot without an ounce of wit.
