He’s playing to a niche market. Whether he believes his own drivel or not is irrelevant. There’s a hard-core leftist-loon audience out there and MSNBC has decided to be their network.
It's not that 'niche' anymore.
Maybe he doesn't get big numbers, but his opinions are the same as the Marxist totalitarians who post on the Daily Kos... and in turn are courted by the potentates of the DNC and given plenty of exposure by the DBM. This 'niche' is being given perceived credibility by the DNC/DBM cabal... a luxury that sober conservatism is denied.
Olbermann can kiss my niche.
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.
