Meltdown for Keith Olbermann

by

In a sign that the Democrats’ strategy for 2010 is not gaining traction among the American people, the man on the moon in the media who best embodies their tack is tanking.  The Keith Olbermann show is sinking faster than the Titanic.  Guess Bush-hatred just doesn’t sell like it used to:

Remember Keith Olbermann?

He was the one-time must-see anti-Bush ranter who helped rescue MSNBC (yes, it’s still on at night) from even worse oblivion years ago.

Well, quietly last month while no one was looking, hardly anyone was watching Keith Olbermann anymore. . . .

In the most desirable TV demographic of 25-54, which Keith will soon outgrow himself, “Countdown” lost 44% of its audience from the beginning of President Obama‘s term until this year. It could have been worse — say, 45%.

Olbermann averaged 268,000 viewers last month in that sector. That’s just several thousand sets of those eyes more than Campbell Brown over on CNN. According to one count, Keith even finished in that time slot behind Nancy Grace. Nancy Grace!

Well, there is some good news.  More people watch his show than any other show in MSNBC’s prime-time line-up.

  1. Before they can his ass…I wanna send Olbermann a singing telegram, chalked full of nothing but FUs…. all the while, the faint sound of Bohemian Rhapsody is heard playing in the background.

  6. I’m curious what will happen to MSNBC evening programming after Comcast takes control of NBCU from GE. CNN, MSNBC, and Headline News are letting Fox get fat dumb, happy and rich at their expense. I’ve been saying for about 2 years that eventually one of those other cable news networks who are having their lunch eaten by Fox is going to take a right turn.

    How ironic it will be if Comcast fires Ogremann and moves MSNBC to the right.

  8. I Turn to MSDNC for a few minutes once in a while to see who is slobbering or drooling or ready to jump off a cliff. They can be very comical at times. It is a one stop shop to see what the nutty liberal leftist Democrats are thinking at any one time. But watching for more than 3 or 4 minutes at at time is near impossible.
    Don’t they show prison prgramming sometimes when news is slow? Or is it shopping, not sure.

  9. After Brown was elected, I flipped over to MSDNC-BS interested in seeing the “F-ing retards” explode. Madcow was just seething through her teeth that the election had been called for him and Coakley had called to congratulate him. What the hell she was doing reporting from a straight bar, I’ll never know.
