MSNBC Takes Ratings Plunge

I've been wondering who was actually still watching Olbermann, Matthews and company.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- The mummified body of a woman who didn't want to be buried was found in a chair in front of her television set 2 1/2 years after her death, authorities said. Johannas Pope had told her live-in caregiver that she didn't want to be buried and planned on returning after she died, Hamilton County Coroner O'Dell Owens said Monday. Pope died in August 2003 at age 61. Her body was found last week in the upstairs of her home on a quiet street. Some family members continued to live downstairs, authorities said. No one answered the doorbell at Pope's home Monday afternoon.

Maybe Mr. Snitch is right and it's time for some blogger television shows.

The addition of Rita Cosby and then, dare I even speak the name, Tucker Carlson have had me skipping over it. It has been pretty painless, except Oh how I miss tht Dan Abrams!

Chris Mathews used to be watchable. I can no longer take it. The same topic day after day after day. They did the Plame CIA leak every single day for I swear it must have been 4 months. Now they've moved on to the NSA spying story, and that has been every day for going on 4 weeks now. As far as Olbermann he was a pompous ass on Sportscenter and now he's even a bigger pompous ass. How he, MSNBC, or anyone else could possibly think his show is even the least bit entertaining I'll never know. If I'm flipping through channels and I hear "which one of these stories will you be talking about next" besides the severe head trauma, I have actually torn ligaments in my thumb racing to change the channel.

The right wing-nuts are moving to FOX where they can
see all the pretty pictures and have their thinking done
for them.

By the way, Tweety aka. Chris Matthews is not a liberal. You can have him.

I can't stand Rita Cosby and turn off Obermann when he says "keep your knees loose". Hearing her voice is like listening to Fingernails being dragged across a chalk board. She reminds me of a once pretty, truck stop waitress. Her mentality (and shows) are below that quality. She should take "Tweety" (Matthews) and go back to Faux. I would love to see David Gregory do Hardball, and go with a line up:

1. Hardball with David Gregory.
2. Countdown with Keith Obermann
3. Donohue (yes Bill--aka "Ted Baxter", your petition sort of worked)

No one is going to out Fox, Faux and I don't understand why no one is willing to go in the opposite direction. I won't even go there myself and have deleted FOX from my channel listing. I used to like CNN, but the Bearded one (Leslie Blitzer, aka "Wolf") constantly shills for the Bush Administration and Rethuglicans in CONgress.

There is no Mirror image of Faux and they are all "Faux Lite". There's 48% of America who aren't buying the Right Wing B.S. and for us, we have little to support in the Main Stream Media (MSM). NO, the term "the liberal media" is nothing more than a Wing Nut talking point. Unfortunately, Countdown is the only Cable News Show I can stand anymore. Forget CBS, ABC, NBC as they seem more like Bastard Step Children to Faux.

Oh, by the way in answer to the question: Who is watching MSNBC Anyway, well Keith Obermann's audience is up, while Bill O'Reily (Ted Baxter) has his audience in a major audience slide. Ted Baxter has this petition to fire Keith and bring back Phil Donohue. Part of Ted Baxter's push is Keith's ratings, which are actually up 5K a week over Donohue's, despite the factual error that Bill O'Liely constantly spews.

Expect Keith's numbers to keep going up. At least he delve's into News that others refuse to cover (like the last stolen election). Oh, I hear that Elizabeth Vargas (of ABC) is going to interview the Toxic Texan (Smirky) on the Dubai deal. Oh joy, another softball interview where the hard questions won't be asked. Count me out, I don't need to watch him countinue the "United Sellout of Amerca"!
