Tuesday was Fox’s night

Fox won the key adult demographics and total viewers Tuesday night. For the night, June 2, the Nielsen Media Research fast-affiliate total-viewer averages: Fox 8 million, CBS 7.3 million, NBC 7 million and ABC 6.7 million.- BroadcastingCable.com

hmmmm...where's MSNBC?

[.cnI redruM]

Kieth Olbermann has never had anything positive to say about anyone.

[sheik yerbouty]

Wasn't this the guy who fired Norm MacDonald for making jokes about his friend OJ on SNL?

[ken5050]

Keith gets the viewers who watch Hardball..(g)

[I still care]

"Did you get some kind of comfort from this laughable lawsuit that maybe the latest set of demagogues are starting to fray at the edges and maybe headed towards self-destruction?"

He's just doing visualization therapy. Maybe if he wishes really, REALLY hard, and screws his eyes up really tight while he wishes, maybe MSNBC MIGHT catch Fox in the ratings?
......

LOL

I honestly started to get sick of O'Reilly, was never a H&C fan, and had no interest in some of the topics being covered by Van Susteren so I decided to watch MSNBC. Their prime time programs are not that bad but I'm constantly hearing stories about O'Reilly and Fox. If I wanted more Fox and O'Reilly, I know where the channels are. Stick to the news, guys.

[I still care]

And for those that might have missed it, I heard the cartoon network beat out CNN last week.

Ha!

[Notforprophet]

I believe those numbers are for the FOX broadcast network, not the FOX News Channel cable station.

NFP

Olbermann was hired so Wussy Matthews doesnt have the lowest rated show there. And - who is he to talk about resembling Himmler?

[Cousin Eddie]

Don't waste your time worrying about him.

Olbermann has been a nasty, pontificating, arogant know-it-all since his days doing local sports in L.A. Always had to take digs at sports people (players, coaches, etc.), especially when they were down. Complete and utter bore.

[Hoverbug]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... I don't think Keith has read Treason by Ann Coulter.

Hb

[zygoat]

I do watch Scarborough a lot though. I wish FOX could find a spot for him.

Olbermann is a left-wing demagogue but he was exactly right...O'Reilly is a ticking bomb inside Fox, a raving egomaniac who will eventually self-destruct.

Kieth Olbermann has never had anything positive to say about anyone.

He has syphyllis on the brain, and verbal diaharrea.

[Cobra64]

O'Reilly is a ticking bomb inside Fox, a raving egomaniac who will eventually self-destruct.

When O'Reilly comes on, I set the poverbial egg-timer for an hour and move on.

Is this the same guy who used to work for ESPN??? I am baffled at his credentials to speak so about anyone....reminds me of the brain-trust, Al Franken. I mean, after all, who would know more about how to run a country than someone whose has a job making us laugh! There hasn't been such a great comedian in office since Bill Clinton!

[Richard Axtell]

Who is this Keith Oldbearbum.. is he on television or something? Never heard of him.

[N. Theknow]

Keith gets the viewers who watch Hardball.

Oops.

Let me fix that for you big guy.

Keith gets the viewer who watches Hardball.

Allllllrightythen?

[Ann Archy]

he can be a little funny....much more than that buck-toothed Franken...was he EVER funny???

Mostly Keith is just a mean nasty cynic. Scarborough ROCKS though!
