I'M NOT FUNNY OR RELEVANT BUT I'M ON TV DAMNIT!

You may have noticed on more and more left-wing blogs (especially those locally) the praises of the once quite capable and entertaining sportscaster turned snark-myster Keith Olbermann.

Elevated as the new Messiah and official spokesman for all things left of center in the highway of life, this last place low rated cable commentator is rapidly (or rabidly) becoming the voice of the most vehement factions of the leftard media.

Though challenged by an enormous lack of common sense (and decency) Olby has been able to build his fan base of literally hundreds of viewers into a veritable bidet in the bathroom of the new democratic party. Espousing high-brow disdain for all things Bush and/or republican he has made his bones among those democratic "salad tossers" so loyal to MSNBC.

Possibly the only thing funnier than watching Matt Lauer spooge down his leg while fawning all over Al Gore, is watching Olby becoming more defiant in his losing battle for ratings. He's just going to have to get used to being in last place, because it's where he belongs.


EDITORS UPDATE: I stand corrected...as of today he's in third out of 4....http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ overall annually he's been last....and will be again I'm sure.....

You seem fixated on homosexual acts. Why is that Tim?

Blogger Tim Zank said...
Craig, what's telling is your interpretation. I never implied you have to be a homosexual to toss a salad, you just assume that due to your persuasion..NOT that there's anything wrong with that.

Blogger Craig said...
Sorry to disappoint Tim, but I'm straight. Way to go on those "facts". Great work!

Mr.(Blank) will be off the air soon. Oh well, their will be more
comedy on the way.


And what a ***hole he was.

Blogger Craig said...
So is Tim going to correct this post or will he let a mistake become a lie?

Blogger Tim Zank said...
Craig, If your afraid people will think your gay, I'd be glad to correct my post to say, "Hey everybody, Craid sez he isn't gay". And for those of you who can't read, have someone read my post to you, I never said he was gay."

I did word my post in a rather "Clintonian" way though...see Craig how you can imply and infer without ever actually saying it, you know, like you always do on your blog.

Craig I have no idea what you are alluding too. Get over yourself and everyone that thinks like that.

"My post was about this MSN guy that throws crumbled pieces of paper at the camera at the end of his show." He is A hACK jOURNALIST
and will not keep an audience.

Good luck to you, no one cares about that ****.

Uh he's actually been GAINING viewers.

Don't let that fact get in the way of your argument though. I wouldn't expect Keith to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Enjoy...

Jeff,

Of course you would say that.

Any proof to that profound thought?

Links..I can wait.

Blogger Jeff Pruitt said...
Will this do? I'll go ahead and quote it for you:

""Countdown's" audience jumped 67 percent this year over last, and the cable channel's overall numbers are up 6 percent this year compared with last year, according to Nielsen Media Research. They're also up 10 percent from last year among 25- to 54-year-olds, a coveted advertising demographic. This comes at a time when Fox and CNN, overall, have been posting a decline in ratings."

Or how about this:

"Since that first commentary, Olbermann's nightly audience has increased 69 percent, according to Nielsen Media Research. This past Monday 834,000 people tuned in, virtually double his season average and more than CNN competitors Paula Zahn and Nancy Grace."

You know it's quite funny how you request ME to provide links but not Tim. Is Tim exempt from proving facts to back up his assertions?

No trouble. That's why I'm here - to challenge ideas and provoke debate. Just because you don't WANT something to be true doesn't make it so...

Blogger Angry White Boy said...
Craig <--- GAY GAY GAY! Oh.. and a Leftard. That's all I got to say about that.

Blogger Jeff Pruitt said...
Thank you for adding to the discourse - your contribution is grand...

Blogger Tim Zank said...
Jeff, Olby's ratings have improved 67% true...As I pointed out on Skinners blog though, when the baseline viewership is so low to begin with, it doesn't take a whole lot more viewers to make a huge percentage increase...it makes for a great talking point though...he is still for the year 2006 in last place.....He's moved into 3rd and even 2nd some nights, but when you annualize it he still comes in last...Now next year who knows? One thing is for sure, once the 2008 elections are over, he and John Stewart are both gonna be out of material. What then?

You do not like Olbermann because he speaks truth to power, and you would rather not hear the truth, but imagine that your "patriotism" is enough...when all it really is is a crutch and the last bastion for the weak minded. It keeps you from recognizing the truth when you hear it.
