There is a fabulous article at American Thinker about Keith Olbermann.
You’ve probably all heard about how Fox News is the most trusted news source now, and how it’s absolutely slaughtering the other cable news shows in the ratings. I mean, that’s no surprise, really. MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann allows blowhards like Janeane Garafalo onto his program and treats her as an authority of some sort. It’s no wonder that viewers are tuning out at warp speed. Apparently, the National Review asked this week, “At what point does MSNBC pull the plug on its all-Left format?”
That’s a great question. My guess is that, like Obama and his administration, MSNBC will simply ignore what’s happening before their very eyes, and continue on a path of destruction, regardless of whether that destruction is self-imposed.
According to the article, Olbermann’s audience is now a paltry 20% of Bill O’Reilly’s. Ouch. The article’s author speculates that Keith’s decline is due in part to his disdain for women. He’s positively horrid to women with whom he disagrees. He called Michelle Malkin a “big mashed up bag of meat with liptstick.” He referred to Sarah Palin as a “moronic Bush in a skirt.” And apparently, Keith is totally sucktastic with women on a personal level too. This was news to me. Not that I expected otherwise, mind you, but I’ve never cared enough about Keith Olbermann to find out what his personal life was all about. It turns out, in addition to having well-publicized trouble with his own mother, Keith can’t manage to score a second date with anyone, except his most recent conquest, a 25 year old girl whose on-air job at NBC he arranged. I’m sure she’s with him for his great personality, though (snort).
Keith is 51 and has never been married. And whether or not that’s the reason, Keith is always furious. Have you noticed that? He’s in a constant state of rage. New Yorker magazines even titled a write-up about him “One Angry Man.”
I find his rage amusing. Especially because instead of taking stock and trying to LEARN from his plummeting ratings, he and the rest of the rabid rage-filled “journalists” at MSNBC will more than likely continue to do exactly what they’re doing.
I guess it’s true that everyone likes to watch a good train wreck.
