Ratings: Olbermann Calls FOX The "Worst Winners TV's Ever Seen" Only on CableNewser: MSNBC's Keith Olbermann writes in with a question about FOX: "Here's a question...about the latest ratings. Why, when there is no debating their numerical predominance, is FNC so consistently and relentlessly vicious, arrogant, and, above everything else, personal about their public comments?" "When the 11 PM SportsCenter had something like 75% of the cable sports news audience, we never crowed about it. I mean, I don't even have the exact number written down anywhere, and I have an ego the size of the L.A. Coliseum. We just enjoyed it and our masters charged more money for commercials and that was an end to it. We certainly didn't -- as John LeCarre once wonderfully wrote -- erase the rationale for taking your opponent on by making him look foolish or unworthy." "It underscores the fact that the left/right with FNC thing has long since passed into comparative irrelevance in this mini-industry. Fox News is hated because they're elitists -- and the worst winners television's ever seen." 8:19:55 PM

To put it in the words of Mr. Olbermann's idol... "Because they can."

there is no debating their numerical predominance

I didn't read any of the rest. My reaction is "Neeener, neeeener, neeeener".

How many jobs is this now,Keith,since those SportsCenter days?

[MarkeyD]

It's good to be the King?

[Keith in Iowa]

Oldbeerman is to tv as a gnat is to an elephant's butt.

[Socratic]

Mr. Olbermann: A whining loser isn't he?

[gorush]

Pot, kettle...

....the worst winners TV's ever seen.

So, Keith, what's like being the worst LOSER TV's ever seen?

True leaders don't worry about what others say, they just respond to what they know is right.

You just DID crow about it, Weasel.

[sneakers]

Jealous are we, Mr. Olbermann? ~snicker~

[zerosix]

It ain't braggin' if you can do it!!

Get over it cry baby!

[Dog Gone]

That's right up there with the worst whines in history. "We Romans didn't crow when we ruled the world. No "We're # 1 chants in the Colisseum."

Hint: People only do that when there's some doubt about who's # 1.

[TomGuy]

Sour grapes

Whine and cheese

Note to Mr. Olbermann: Put Some Ice On It.

[Henchster]

Since I'm an average Joe, that "paragraph" by Mr. Olbermann proves what an elitist HE is because:

I still can't figure out wht the H@ll point he's trying to make.

[Publius6961]

What the hell is an Olbermann?
And why should I care?

You sound like one of those losers promoting an unknown under the guise of criticizing "it".

When the Romans did it, they did it in Latin. And they had no doubt that they were number 1.
