Doesn't change the fact that his show got dreadful ratings.

So is he on a real network or something that just feeds via the internet? Or maybe a local NYC station that you need to put tinfoil on an antenna to pick up? If you like Olbermann you can just peel a few layers off your helmet, I suppose.
If Olbermann does go back on the air, expect a few thousand of MSNBC's viewers, nearly half of those that are left, to switch over. Their ratings can't take a loss like that.

You know, I am surprised that certain posters here are not trying to have that date declared a national holiday.

National Bigotry Day would be my suggestion.

The highest ratings at the bottom of the rung doesn't really mean much, does it?

That is not saying much seeing that they did not have a TOP rated show in the top group of all shows on TV.

It does not say much if you are the top rated show on a channel that is bringing up the REAR END of the ratings.

Who and what channel has almost ALL of the the top rated shows? You guessed it!!


Oberman is a clueless loser who gets fired everywhere he goes. The man is an anti American hateful person with no talent other then to get the loons fired up.

MSNBC has replaced the nutcase with two psychos called Ed and Larry so the channel will never get off the bottom of the pile.

Poor Keith. He needs to call Barry and ask for a job near Chicago when Barry heads back home to finish fixing up the city parks. Keith could sell hot dogs or something.

That it's likely run on a small budget should strike no one as a surprise.
The only people watching HDNet are teenage boys masturbating to reruns of "Bikini Destination".

While there are still plenty of truth tellers on MSNBC, they all came after Olberman. And Olberman came after Phil Donahue, who was fired by NBC for voicing skepticism about invading Iraq.

Keith Olberman's Current TV: New nightly show to debut on June 20
Hmmm.... Sounds like the SyFy channel would be more appropriate.
