Looking at the ratings he is of course at the bottom of the barrel.

Since he was fired from ESPN and ended up doing this show and it was going under, they needed to make it something different.

He cannot compete with anyone at Fox for any hour so they need to have him do sit down comedy and see if that works.

Maybe we wont wet himself on the set anymore or they have put a depends on him.

No cable "news" is real news. It's entertainment and commentary masquerading as news. MSNBC or Fox, it doesn't matter.

And for those who watched Olberman tonight, what was that rant supporting a "victim" of the Nazi genocide in Armenia. The Nazis never invaded Armenia, The TURKS committed genocide on the Armenians in WORLD WAR I over 90 years ago, so a survivors would have to be pushing 100. I think his outrage was misplaced

My statement stands whether I did or not, but yeah.

I'm not in favor of government intervention in the news media, not even in the carnival sideshow that is FAUX News.

Tonight, while I'm shouting at Bill O'Reilley, I click to the Big Guy and bonus!! He's showing a "Fox and Friends In the Morning" clip and giving them H-E-L-L.

Go Keith!!!!!! The sky's the limit, ratingswise!!!! Whooot!!!!

I'll give you this much...Duhbyaisms are cool.

Olberslap pales in comparison to back in his first go-round with ESPN.

He is quite unlistenable in comparison.

Tonight he exposed yet another moronic and mind-bogglingly uninformed mouthful of crap from.. (I could, but I won't)
Seriously? that is the funniest thing I've read in a while and it is also helping me understand your other posts..

Maybe, maybe not. It's alleged that Armenians joined the Nazis in their attempt to exterminate Jews during WWII.

Here, read about the incident from a non-KO source ...

You want to call Mr. Gasparian A LIAR???? Shame on you if you do.

Thanks for revealing the true 'horrors' of todays racism.

Racism in any meaningful way is over.
Times have changed.
Get over it.

And I'd go so far as to say as to say out of the 305 million people that pay attention to the news don't have God complexes with one newscaster like they do with Limbaugh, Beck, etc. as well. The reason why FOX appears to have more viewers is because those viewers have this impression that its FOX and only Fox and they don't watch, listen or read anything else. Moderate and more liberal viewers tend to watch, listen, and read from multiple resources. So FOX gets liberals, moderates, and conservatives watching while conservatives refuse to read, watch or listen to anything other that what they are spoonfed from Fox and Limbaugh and other conservative talk show hosts. I tend to be a little to the left and I am constantly listening to Fox News and American Right as well as our local talk show hosts that are on before and after Rush and happen to be conservative on XM as well as to America Left, NPR, CNN, BBC, etc. Note to everyone, you can learn a TON from people you don't agree with!
