Olbermann and Maddow continue to spew hatred, carry the water of BaCrock Obummer and no wonder why they have ratings in the toilet
Keith O. & Rachel Maddow are the reason Fox is running scared.
I have five TV’s and keep them on MSNBC so I know the ratings are skewed.
Fox must be banned as soon as the Democrats take office or they can’t pass their caring agenda.
Pink Bear you are so funny in a sic sort of way…..
No. 1 do you think your five TV’s count as five viewings?….
No. 2…China bans TV shows…Maybe you feel more comfortable there…
Just looking out for you…
Fox couldn’t be running scared, because Olbermann & Madcow continue to get blitzed by FNC. I could’t imagine anyone having a TV station on MSNBC, let alone five TV’s. And even if the Democrats win the election, I highly doubt that Olbermann & Maddow would gain that much in ratings. In fact, they would be lower, because after the election, they wouldn’t be much to talk about.
Fox gets more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined. Were I come from we call that a whipping, a thumping.
Hey eggy….you’re about to cracked! Republicans, and especially your orphan idiot W. are about to get their asses kicked! They suck, and so do you! Get ready to watch history on Nov. 4th. on SUX News channel! Ha ha….sucker!
I used to watch Fox, but after getting smart, I stopped. All you still watching Fox, wake up! Realize you’ve been brain washed. Snap out of it. And get back to real life. You’ll suddenly smile more.
Fox News is schooling the other networks because its the only alternative to the omnipresent lefty media. They tried to work MSNBC into a liberal niche, but that was already being served by the NYT/WP/NBC/CBS/ABC establishment. So in order to distinguish themselves they lined up a bunch of loons who are left of Che Guevara to spew their hatred on the air. Nobody except fringe leftists go for it.
