The Final Countdown? Meltdown with Keith Olbermann Part 31
David Horowitz's NewsRealblog ^ | David Forsmark

Posted on 02/03/2010 8:39:55 AM PST by Michael van der Galien

Remembering this self-deluding rant last year when Bill O’Reilly dared to mock Keith Olbermann’s ratings?

OLBERMANN: I hate to intrude with the facts, but ours is the highest rated cable news program [among] viewers 35 and younger, and the highest rated cable news program for all viewers not on Fixed [i.e., Fox] News. And since Fixed News has now migrated completely over to serving propaganda to tinfoil hatters, conspiracy theorists, paranoids and racist, it’s not a news organization, making THIS [Olbermann's] show the highest-rated cable news program, period.

Here’s tonight’s big number, as Chris Matthews would say– 44! That’s right, according to DaliyFinance.com Olbermann’s ratings are down 44%

And as much as I’d like to claim credit, I think this accomplishment rightly belongs to Keith. It’s enough to make Glenn Beck optimistic about America’s future!

We’ve spent 30 chapters (and then some) detailing the litany of smears, lies, rants, delusions, hatred and deliberate propaganda without regard to facts that spew from Keith Olbermann’s frothed lips on a nightly basis. Usually, some uninitiated soul posts a comment like, “How do people watch this?”

Well, fewer and fewer of them do.

It’s common knowledge that Keith gets his butt kicked by Bill O’Reilly on a nightly basis—just as the rest of the MSNBC schedule gets tromped by the rest of Fox’s schedule. DailyFinance.com reveals that while Keith Olbermann fanices himself a rival—if not a nemesis—for O’Reilly, the truth is, he’s no factor.

Higher ratings than the Daily Show?

I actually watched some of his “show” yesterday, and I believe it is best described as surreal. Listening to the endless rants against anything “Republican”, extracting 2-3 words out of a conservative’s speech or quote and purposely contorting its context or meaning, and supplanting reality with what Uberlib calls “facts”.

In my opinion, I would equate it to watching someone filled with nothing more than vitriolic hatred and sliding ever closer to total insanity...

Keith tried to improve his ratings by pretending the was a feud between himself and O'Reilly, but it didn't work. If anything, it help Bill.

Maybe you should try to pick a fight with Oprah, Keith. She might acknowledge you.

Olbie is being overtaken by Nancy (Ugh) Grace in the ratings. I’m hoping he goes coo-coo on the air and is dragged off the set.
