If Keith Olbermann tells the truth in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does hell still freeze over.

Viva Keith " Che " Guevara!

I don't get this whole thing...from the Kos-sacks posting "We need to make sure KO gets this story." to Move.on begging for viewers. Why is it so important to Libs that KO be a success?

Do they really see KO as their only voice? I don't see them asking for pledges for Anderson Cooper, Jon Stewart or Colbert. For that matter, they don't seem as concerned about Air America's success.

I don't get it. Why is KO the left's pet project?

Interesting view. Seems like mostly speculation. Wasn't that madman the one that got people to go to the window and yell, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore". Great movie, I think you completely missed the point of the movie. Sigh.

Yeah, we're hardup. There's guys like Matthews hearting Bush and Delay. Nora O'Donnell going orgasmic whenever a Repub operative is on camera, Blitzer selectively turning a blind eye on a regular basis and then there's the Missing Dead White Girl Rape channel.

Oh, and by the way, I'M MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.

Smart move for a "news" show -- limit yourself to the left wing wacko population. Kaplan iks a genius and Olby his humble servant.

Why try to appeal to 300,000,000 million when you can eliminate 297,000,000 and appeal to 3,000,000 instead? Is there any wonder the MSM is treading water and Olbermann is a hack?

OMG, I am laughing so hard i can't breathe!

Hey Hit_the tranquilizers, how left leaning do you haveto be to think that Norah O'Donnell, Chris Matthews, Wolf Blitzer are all are all taking it easy on Bush? There are reams and reams of evidence to the contrary. Avail yourself of this reaming. You would have been better off attacking people on Fox News, the number one cable news network, just as all other playa haters on this site do. But kudos to your veiled reference to Fox as the " missing dead white girl rape channel." Quite a sophisticated critique, I must say. I mean, there's a nonmisssing, alive, black girl rape case that's getting absolutely NO publicity, right.

I just took a closer look at the link. Anyone have the ratings numbers for March 30/March 31. Just curious to see if it actually worked.

I know KO hasn't hit a million, so I guess Moveon's membership wasn't overly committed to helping Keith out.

As a conservative, I WANT as many people as possible to watch Olbermann.

After they get done lauging their ass off, they're sure to rush to the polls to vote for whoever....

...he's AGAINST!

lol!!

Big Daddy

Ps Liberals...they're OUR secret weapon. LOL!

I found the ratings (on TV newswer). KO's ratings actually went DOWN on Thursday, and down from that on Friday. Is MoveOn losing their influence?

can you post those here, with a link?

Robert,

Here's the link. It starts with the current, but scroll down to the bottom, it goes all the way to the beginning of March.

If Olberman is so inconsequential, why do you feel compelled to dedicate so much of your life to him? To parphrase Bill from Stratford, methinks the blogger doth protest too much.

There are currently about 450,000 viewers of countdown.If even one of them can be helped, it is worth the effort.

Olbermann Watch

Rehabilitation for the wilingly misinformed.

GENEVA (Reuters) - Torture and inhumane treatment are `widespread` in U.S.-run detention centers in
Afghanistan, Iraq, Cuba and elsewhere despite Washington`s denials, Amnesty International said on Wednesday.

............

of course, that`s from Amnesty International -- a known leftist, moonbat organization.
or as Stephen Colbert so aptly put it to Dear Leader`s face: `Reality has a well known Liberal Bias.`

While I find a month-old media alert absolutely compelling, I'd really like to know where you got your information that the network and/or Mr. Kaplan is in bed with MoveOn or any other liberal group. It's absolutely no secret that those that frequent lefty blogs are always urging their fellows to watch Countdown because it doesn't buy into the administration spin machine. Why in the world would it surprise anyone that the folks at MoveOn would do the same?

Bravo on cherry picking your ratings numbers. Yes, Countdown is last in total audience per usual, but when you remove the nursing home set, it stands at #2, making gains in both total and demo while Fox and CNN have posted losses yet again. And while you lambaste TVN's numbers, that same set of numbers you cite happens to also be on the TVN site.

Methinks sir, that your tin hat is clamped down a bit too tight once again. Though I have to give you props for so perfectly pandering to your audience, once again whipping them into a froth over your pearls of so-called wisdom.

`Absolutely.`

`This is about imminent threat.`
- White House spokesman Scott McClellan, 2/10/03

`Well, of course he is.`
- White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett responding to the question `is Saddam an imminent threat to U.S. interests, either in that part of the world or to Americans right here at home?`, 1/26/03

`There`s a grave threat in Iraq. There just is.`
- President Bush, 10/2/02

`Some have argued that the nuclear threat from Iraq is not imminent - that Saddam is at least 5-7 years away from having nuclear weapons. I would not be so certain. And we should be just as concerned about the immediate threat from biological weapons. Iraq has these weapons.`
- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, 9/18/02

`There`s a grave threat in Iraq. There just is.`
- President Bush, 10/2/02

Just because i said so. i like it how Bush gets all exasperated and shit, like some rich spoiled frat brat, when people fail to grasp that warrantless spying is OK, and rendition`s OK, and torture`s OK, and tapping directly into AT&T`s call servers is OK -- JUST BECAUSE I SAID SO ... AND I`M THE DECIDER!

What a moron.

Almost as stupid as the people here stuck in abject denial who continue to support him unconditionally, on accounta his party used to stand for small government and fiscal responsibility and all that jazz. You people are becoming a long running joke.

"Nice Cherry Picking", you couldn't have chosen a better handle.

For the no-spin facts about the whole imminent threat kerfuffle, check out the most balanced assessment I've found on this subject, which is completely off-topic in this thread anyhow. (Anything to divert attention from Olbermann and his spin!)

spinsanity.org: `Furthermore, these Bush administration defenders accurately point out that neither President Bush nor any of his aides ever outright described Iraq as an `imminent threat.``

wrong again.

Interesting to note that 75% of O'Reilly's audience is outside of the key 25 - 54 year old demographic. His audience is pretty darn old, on average. This explains the 4% drop in audience from '05 to '06. They're dying off...

Aren't the lefties nice? The "nursing home set" and "This explains the 4% drop in audience from '05 to '06. They're dying off..."

Wouldn't you love to be these two (Becky and Chris) moonbats parents?

They would KILL them off if it meant they would be in power again.

Scary.

`Wouldn`t you love to be these two (Becky and Chris) moonbats parents?`

Attack the messenger, shit-for-brains ... never mind the issues.

Last KO mentioned it, OR`s median viewer age demographic was 68. Care to talk about that, rather than slinging the ubiquitous `moonbat`, you tyrant succoring simpleton? : ) Ha!

Oh that's a reliable source, what KO says about OR's viewership. He still hasn't apologized for the lies he's told about Bill O in the past. Anyone who would believe anything Keith says about Mr Bill without proof is probably in the market for oceanfront property in Utah.

That's great except the "nursing home set" as you put it is by far and away the largest portion of the audience both for cable news and talk radio.

It's like saying that the NFL Pre-Game Show on CBS gets the largest share of gay hairdressers from the Lower East Side of Manhattan. That may be true but...
