The New York Times shills for Bush Derangement Syndrome on MSNBC:

Riding a ratings wave from “Countdown With Keith Olbermann,” a program that takes strong issue with the Bush administration, MSNBC is increasingly seeking to showcase its nighttime lineup as a welcome haven for viewers of a similar mind.

Here are the numbers: Bill O'Reilly is number 1 with over 2 million viewers. Olberman is number 20 with 677,000 viewers.

The other MSNMC host who foams at the mouth daily is Chris Matthews, listed at number 34 with about 400,000 viewers.

With the exception of two CNN shows, CNN Presents and Larry King Live, all the top 15 rated cable shows are on FOX. You have to go to number 16, Lou Dobbs Tonight, before the other networks begin to be noticed.

“Most of the time, though, Mr. O’Reilly outdraws Mr. Olbermann by about 1.5 million viewers over all at the same hour, according to Nielsen Media Research.”

which is twice the numbers of their maximum viewers. I’m sure Airhead America will make a comeback, too.
