WOWZERS — looks like Michael Moore was a HUGE draw on LKL Friday, and even Campbell Brown did much better than usual. Will be interesting to see if she can hold on to her gains this week and as the election continues.
Its sad the Michael Moore is a HUGE draw for anyone….
Robert – Site is looking great. Using it often. Charlie Anzman
I just watched Keith Olbermann – whose ratings suck beyond belief – declare to the universe that with ALL the events that has happened during and after both the Republican and Democratic conventions – the absolute “worst person in the world” is …..Bill O’Rielly !!!! If this is the profound wisdom that Keith Olbermann can bestow upon us, I can understand how MSNBC’s rating in the convention coverage were well in the toilet below FOX and CNN.
Charlie A., thanks
^^
Hey Robert you also did a great job while Bill was on vacation. Kudo’s man.
Thanks Stephen, I appreciate it!
Olbermann, besides his eyes being too far apart, is freakishly obsessed with and jealous of Bill OReilly. He probably goes home each night and jumps up and down like a 2 year old screaming “Why are so many people watching Bill O’Reilly and not ME !!! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit !!”
I didn’t look at Obermann last night..wondering what the Obama Interview vs. Obama Interview. But having O’Rielly as his worse person? You’d think he’d figure out its not working…but then he’d have to think…and that isn’t one of his strongsuits..appearently..
Joe – Didn’t Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann engage in a very unprofessional
heated debate with each other during the Democratic Convention ? Did Olbermann’s
behavior not cause MSNBC execs some concerns – especially with their convention coverage ratings being so tanked by CNN & FOX ?
Does anyone really care who Olbermann thinks is the worst person is? This is sophomoric and childish name calling from someone who really shouldn’t even be on television. What is really sad is how many people do watch this guy rant and rave with no substance at all. His commentary is so off point it’s comical.
I don’t really care about Olbermanns worst person..I look at it on the website for a laugh.
I heard about the unproessional heated debate between Obermann and Mathews but didn’t see it. Saw his comment about Scarborough. That probably had a lot to do with the removal of those two from the Debate/Election coverage.
Larry I get the idea you think I’m supporting Obermann? I don’t watch the NBC Pregame football coverage because I know he’s on it..or the halftime show..
Joe I thought I was the only one that couldn’t do the NBC Pregame and halftime show b/c of KO. Glad I am not the only one that thinks he can even ruin a pregame show.
NBC’s way of forcing him on the world so we will think “I have to watch his show”
Working good isn’t it…
Joe – Sorry, I didn’t word my Olbermann comments correctly.
I was not implyiong that you were an Olbermann fan. My questions
were really comments on points that no one else had raised yet.
I really thought that Olbermanns credibility as an objective commmentator
during the MSNBC convention coverage was in the toilet….MSNBC paid a price for him anchoring based on the low convention coverage ratings.
agree Larry. Olbermann lost me a long time ago….O’ Rielly has his moments, but at least he has debates…and I have enjoyed his interviews with Obama…has me leaning toward Obama…but still count me in as Undecided. I from California so it is doubtful Obama is going to lose California…If he did, it will be a landslide in near record numbers to McCain
PMS-NBC folks are DESPERATE to push their political agenda.
Desperate PMS-NBC Proof #1 – Daily ratings butt kick by O’Reily for years
Desperate PMS-NBC Proof #2 – Sunday Night Football – I can’t watch anymore
Desperate PMS-NBC Proof #3 – Convention monerator – Brain Dead Move
Desperate PMS-NBC Proof #4 – As ‘Guess Who’ said ‘Freakish Obsession w/ O’Reily
Desperate PMS-NBC Proof #5 – All of this for pathetic ratings
NBC’s stockholders must be willing to lose money to spread the radical liberal views as well.
