Thread: Keith Olbermann

started this thread cause this guy really gets under my skin, does anyone really believe the garbage that comes out of his mouth?

Kind of obsessed about entertainers, don't you think? Are you about to rant about Will Ferrell too?

I happen to think he's delightful. And according Olbermann, he's a newsman (although Will Ferrell did play one in the movies..hmm).

Olberman belongs on MSNBC where no one will see him.

If facts mean anything to you will see that Olbermann's ratings rank a close second to Bill-O's. Olbermann beat Bill-O in the ratings war during the month of December. CNN and the rest of Fox News ratings dont even compare to Olbermann's.

You didnt include his ratings after October 2006. That was when his ratings started to double.

That's the newest I could find....berhaps you can back up your assertions. Anyway...even if they doubled they wouldn't be a "close" second.
