His secret weapon is that hardly anyone knows what a whack job he is, because nobody ever watches his show.

Olbermann has such a large ego - he has a moving van carry it from home to work each day.

His spotty journey from hack to uber hack has landed him in a choice spot where his frothing loathsome delivery is being abetted by a ‘lost in the zone’ NBC News department - who in the alternative molded Katie Couric the syrup queen - to the far left madness of Keith the Fourth Reichmeister.

Media gone awry... the inmates have secured the asylum - jello for everyone.

Too true.
This assclown really believes he is important.
Love to see a 15 year old girl kick his butt.

A couple of months ago some guy was making a series of posts gloating about Olbermann’s fading ratings. He got quite snotty and upset when I pointed out the numbers in his own posts showed the audience was growing. The Olbermann audience may be schizoid nuts but they saved a fading cable news network and gave them steady and solid numbers to sell to advertisers.

It’s one of the prices we pay for 200 cable channels. The nutcase niche can actually get this sort of attention.

TLB - Olbermann’s choice of potential clients would be pharmaceuticals yes?

Anti-psychotics could be the primary push for his audience.

There is nothing wrong with Olbermann that a severe a$$ kicking wouldn’t improve upon....

Olbermann actually kicked his own ass so badly one day that he spent time in the hospital recuperating from the blunt force head trauma he inflicted on himself.

I'm not joking, either.

He’s playing to a niche market.

Olbermann can kiss my niche.

i don’t watch tv.

my neighbors do. many of them are retired and they have their

tv on all the time they’re awake.

almost all of these tv-morons vote democrap.

and they foam at the mouth at the mention of rush limbaugh, karl rove, george bush, etc.

since they read not, they’ve picked up their politics from tv.

A while back, MSNBC was going to dump him, but his ratings rose, so they kept him. The reason his ratings rose is ironic. He started ranting against Bill O’Reilly and instead of ignoring him O’Reilly punched back and so it went for a couple of weeks. It was like the Rosie O’Donnell, Donald Trumps thing. The fight between Olbermann and O’Reilly cause viewers to tune in the jerk, thus his ratings climbed.

The Dinosaur media is far from dead.

Newspapers are far from dead,

Democrats who vote are MSM devotes.

You are right. Seniors need FR.

And they’re more than welcome to them. This moron has just about doomed this silly network to insignificance and they seem to be alright with it. So I say let Keithy and Crissy have their twenty viewers.

If you observe Olbermann's modus operandi or more precisely the manifestations of his pathology you'll notice a very telling point that speaks volumes to the sort of callow, puerile non-entity he is as a legitimate news anchor.

Observe at what he takes perverse delight in, at what he chooses to discuss as newsworthy, of matters of the highest priority.

Not so much issues that concern Americans as much spending extremely valuable broadcast time to discuss the people that that he finds personally irksome for one reason or another.

How much of GE's and Microsoft's valauble broadcasting hour does he squander impugning the competition such as Bill O'Riley who manages to whup his puslianimous pink-pantied
sorry ass in the ratings, day-in,day-out?

How much time does he flush down the very effluent-clogged toilet bowl he speaks out from, through on his idiotic, juvenile-like segment

WORST PERSON OF THE DAY? or whatever time span he is actually able to discern.

The bottom line is that no legitimate, self-respecting, conscientious news reporter would diminish their self-identity, self-respect, would jeopardize their credentials and reputation to be anything less than be in the guise of an Edward R. Morrow but instead pass yourself off as some irreverent, jack-ass news-clown, more Saturday Night Live than a Chevy Chase, unless of course it is merely only the self-idealization he harbors of himself, he buffoonishness, his utter lack of class, of grace, his eqregiously poor sens of taste ,of tackiness, is actually a reflection of the utter loathsomeness he has for himself, as the

ANCHOR OF RANCOR

If it wren’t for Olberman or Bill Moyers, the leftist freaks at DU wouldn’t have representitives on TV. They love Olberman and despise Mathews (who they nicknamed as “Tweety”) because he is too “right wing” for them.

Since Dan Abrams (who used to have a legal Greta Van Sustern-esque show on MSNBC) became the head of prime time on MSNBC, everything is built around Olberman’s show.

Every time that stupid “Worst Person of The Day” segment airs during football, I find myself yelling at the TV,

“Takes one to know one you loser!”

okay, a little immature, but it feels so good. :-)

“This guy Keith Olbermann has to be watched?”

Oh noooooooooo he doesn’t! LMAO

And the less attention he & Chris “I joined the Peace Corps during the Viet Nam war ‘cause I didn’t have the balls to join the Marine Corps” Matthews is given, the better.

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Actually they were insignificant before. But thanks to Olbermann they are a little less insignificant. That's progress I guess.
