The Other McCain: “Just in case you ever doubted that Keith Olbermann is nuts”
I’ve never had any such misgivings — how he has a job doing anything other than licking piss stains off of public bathroom floors is beyond me:
“He’s now asking the Daily Kos kooks to help him destroy Glenn Beck and Fox News
Find everything you can about Glenn Beck, Stu Burguiere, and Roger Ailes. . . . Tuesday we will expand this to the television audience and have a dedicated email address to accept leads, tips, contacts, on Beck, his radio producer Burguiere, and the chief of his tv enablers, Ailes . . .
(Hat tips to Ace of Spades and Howard Portnoy in the Green Room.) Several ironies here:
- Van Jones was a relative minor administration official. It’s not like he was Secretary of the Treasury. And yet his resignation — he wasn’t fired, he resigned — is the casus belli for total war on Beck.
- It’s not like Jones was sent to federal prison. (As opposed to Scooter Libby, who took the fall in the Left’s PlameGate witch-hunt.) Jones will surely go on to some prestigious big-money job, plus the usual book deal, speaking engagements, etc. His “victimhood” is non-existent.
- Having Olbermann as an enemy is just another feather in Beck’s cap.
So, either Olbermann is completely nuts or he’s just cynical exploiting the insane rage of the Nutroots. Either way, nothing Olby does can harm Beck, and all this stunt will do is to demonstrate Olby’s impotence.”
A war of words between Olbermann and Beck is a win-win situation is the truest sense: no matter what happens, neither of them lose and both of them win.
As the old saying goes, “In show biz, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” And make no mistake about it: TV new IS show biz.
The only effect this could possibly have is to increase ratings for both of them.
Amen to that.
These two fucks are worthless.
I would not listen to anyone who listens to either of these two.
Ølbermann has a lot of catching up to do, if he thinks he will ever be as popular as Glenn Beck.
What has Ølbermann ever done, except for feeding the same crap that lefturds want to hear? He’s never taken on a radical group, their attempted boycotts and won, unlike Beck.
The latest Nielsen Ratings are here.
Fox is not only the most viewed cable news source, but is the second most viewed cable channel, trailing USA network by about a half a million viewers.
Ølbermann is truly pathetic, with his Quixotic flailings.
That Fox gets high ratings is quit misleading. There are far more left wing news sources than left wing at any time of day. THIS ONLY MATTERS TO ADVERTISERS since fox needs to reflect demographics back to their customers on the basis of the rates they charge for advertising based on the estimated number of viewers.
To assume that Fox higher viewer ratings means that most Americans agree with Fox IS TOTALLY WRONG. If there were only two sources of news (lets say O’Reilly and Olbermann) available to the entire public (and neither show is a new program) Olbermann ratings would be 10x O’Reilly. At least….
This is not wild raving of a left wing wacko. In fact I’m very conservative. But I also have worked in media and understand how ratings work. Fox only commands about 10% at most of the news audience at any given time.
The above comparisons leave out local news, network news, the internet and all things cable. There are a depressing number of people that think John Stewart’s Daily show is news.
Trailing USA Network… that sounds
about right. People would rather
watch Monk than any of the so called news programs.
Considering that Fox is only rated 2nd and there are how many cable channels available. Would mean that only a few percent of the viewing population even watch Fox.
Very misleading…
You are basing that assumption on what, exactly?
Not at all, it is actually quite simple and straightforward.
Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. It’s pathetic but if it works for you. Fox beats MSNBC and CNN combined. As for ABC,NBC,CBS and other news programing. You are comparing apples to oranges. Not everybody has cable, so you can’t compare the channels that everybody gets verses the extra channels that people have to pay for.
Down Steeply Since Late Jan., Big 3 Evening Newscasts Stuck at Low Summer Levels.
How about them apples?!!?
25 – 34 year olds watch the nightly news? Doubtful.
Just add all the other cable news programs together and you don’t match Fox News’s ratings. And I have found that cable and sat. providers seem to be making it harder to find and view Fox News and especially Fox Business!
If in fact you understand how ratings work, and if in fact the numbers listed above are correct and not misrepresented, then can you help me understand how Oreilly has almost three times the viewers than Olbermann? Yes I get the other programming argument a little, but I don’t see an almost 3 to 1 margin, based on the above numbers, being overtaken with a mono e. mono show to show duel… Help me figure that out please?
that was the most absurd explanation i have ever heard..go back to school and get an education before you make a bigger idiot out of yourself
that was intended for Jerrold Gray about the absurd comment btw
your statement is a good example of how fixed news can fry your brain!
Your statement is another of the moaning voices of the left that can’t stand a news service that doesn’t cater to the socialist agenda.
Lefturd networks losing viewers, while FOX grows exponentially is proof.
wow “Overman” No interviews of substance No journalism. I wonder how it feels to be looking at that little “on” camera light knowing no one is looking back?
The only time I will watch Olbermann:
His funeral
Fuckwad should roast in Hell.
If the limp-dicked Olbermann’s hair was on fire? I’d piss on his leg.
Not me, Sam.
He’s just not that interesting or important.
AMEN!!!
I first saw Olberman on some SF Bay Area television channel in the mid 1980s. Had to be 1985 or 1986. At the time, he was reading the weather news. I won’t call him a weatherman because he had no background in meteorology.
Love all the republicans here that don’t even watch Keith, yet have all the “advice” and “judgment” to pass on his performances….LOL.
Keith is smart, funny, intelligent and 9 times out of 10 correct. He has a crack staff of researchers and consistently rips the right a new one, while using their own words to do so.
-John Boehner complaining about President Obama going to Denmark for 18 hours to campaign for the Olympics. Wait, didn’t President Bush go to Beijing for 4 DAYS last summer on the eve of the collapse of our economy? Republicans had nothing to say about that trip thought, did they? LOL.
-Fox playing a tape over and over with school children singing about President Obama….when you can easily go on you tube and find SEVERAL songs sung by kids to President and Laura Bush. So wait, one is “indoctrination” and one is “patriotism”….what a bunch of jokers.
It is easy for Keith Olbermann to stay on the backs of the Right, because your leaders are so stupid. You have no health care policy, all voted against the stimulus (which is clearly WORKING), you have no viable candidate for president in 2012 (Sarah Palin…lol)
Talk about shooing fish in a barrel.
Keep it up Keith!!!!!
Seriously, how can anyone in there right mind, think that jackass Keith Oberman makes any sense at all. Liberals are useless and Oberman is the monkey savior. He is dumb, ignorant, fat, useless, worthless, ugly, mindless and just plain….studpid…as is every liberal in our country!
How can you take a man seriously when he uses “LOL” three times in a comment and avers that the stimulus is “WORKING” (his caps, not mine). Even the President’s Chief Economic Adviser has said that we’ve seen all the bang we’re going to get for the stimulus buck and our bang is 9.8% unemployment, falling federal and state revenues, and a quadrupling of the deficit. Note his parsing of words–schoolchildren singing “to” President and Mrs. Bush. Sure, happens all the time. But schoolchildren singing laudatory praises “about” Obama? Hmm, hmm, hmm. There’s a marked difference there, but Mrkleen is too dimwitted to understand the nuance. Mrkleen is typical of leftist apologists–short on facts and long on hyperbole. Reminds me of Olbermann.
nutball
Overman. bash bush,bash palin,trash republicans, interview a couple of teenage bloggers that agree with you. no jouralism, no substance no viewers the formula ain’t working the market place has spoke. how does it feel to look into the camera and know no one’s looking back?
Wow. Genius.
it’s working??? 10.1% unemployment and IT’S WORKING!!! We were at 8.2% when it was signed! Now the Dept. of Labor claim that number could reach 11 or 12% by Aug 2010. Not to mention…we now have a Deficit of nearly 20 TRILLION. To put in into terms your small brain can handle, as of Jan 2010, every American (not just taxpayers) but EVERY man, woman and child each, is in debt for $364,000. to our Government!In the last year of Bush’s Admin…that number was $128,700. Bush did bad things for this country, but NO WHERE NEAR what Obama is about to do!
Actually, Mr. Kleen I watch Olbermann often and I’m very conservative. However, I try very hard to receive different points of view, get information, and read news from several sources. This I’ve found has helped me strive to achieve a better balanced opinion on the issues we face today in our country and globally. Now, back to Olbermann, he just like many other talk show hosts, use sound bites and propaganda to drive home their points of view. Personally I feel the Olbermann is a good sports broadcaster and I think he should go back to what he’s good at and stay away from politics. The main problem I have with Olbermann is that he seems so robotic as if he couldn’t carry on an argument, thought, or show without a teleprompter. Just me own observation…
Oberman is just another nut job who i being paid way to much money. The poor and the needy may think he is a friend – honestly – he should be ashamed.
Keith – I wish I could meet you – just onece – let say the bus or something like that.
If you ever learn that someone listens to Beck or Olbermann – RUN!
You might lose brain cells if you stand too close.
