Olbermann, Maddow ratings = abysmal

Apparently, there isn't a very big market of people eager to hear blowhards like Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow ceaselessly trumpet the hackneyed, old canard which says that any disagreement with President Obama's far-left policies must necessarily be rooted in racism. On what, pray tell, do Olbermann and Maddow blame their own pathetic ratings? Certainly they can't blame racism. I humbly suggest that their dismal numbers are a result of the fact that few Americans - of any skin color - can stomach the sight or sound of a hateful, raging, smug, intolerant, glib, close-minded white ideologue, any more than they can stomach a black ideologue of similar description.

Let's admit it. There are some liberals who can express their views in a civil manner and with respect for the different views of others. But Olbermann and Maddow have raised Trash TV to a new dimension. Their specialty is contemptuous, smug disrespect for individuals with whom they disagree, innuendo, and a commentary on the news and people that would shame a tabloid gossip sheet.

"Olbermann and Maddow? "

Who are they?

Used to know of a Keith Olbermann who screwed up sports coverage and I stopped watching NBC years ago.

Don't know any Maddow. I heard of MadCow. It is a bad disease, right?

I’m on my way home after spending a year in Afghanistan, and our only source for TV news was the Armed Forces Network. They try to present a balanced selection, so we get Fox, CNN, MSNBC, all the networks, even PBS. One of the things I look forward to most about getting back to the US is never having to watch these two idiots again.

MSNBC MADDOW 1,369,000
I'm outraged that O'Reilly and Hannity top Beck. Give Beck O'Reilly's time slot and I bet you'd see that he'd break the 5 million mark.

Hey look! If you put Obe and Madcow together you get enough to be 2/3’s of Beck’s audience. Of course one has to notice that 1,395,000 and 1,369,000 are numbers that are suspiciously close together (26,000 difference). One must wonder if it’s the same 1.3 million nit-wits watching both shows.

I also think Beck needs a later time slot when he's not as likely to scare the children.

I concur, Beck has been the ONLY one taking the fight directly to the Libs! You can personally thank him for taking down Van Jones, shining the spot light on the rest of the CZARS and breaking the ACORN sleaze story...

If the rest of FOX News would have thrown "all in" months ago, as Beck did, the damage to the "O's" regime would have been too catastrophic to hold together

The only problem I have is 4 Million Plus watching Oreilly and Hearing him say Obama does not have any ties to ACORN .
What a Putz

Why? Because I made an off-color remark about the sex lives of farm animals?
