Speaking last night on his show ‘Countdown,’ MSNBC host Keith Olbermann blasted what he perceives as a conservative-led conspiracy to convince Americans that his show’s popularity has faded precipitously since the election of President Obama last year. Among the collaborators in this bizarre right-wing scheme, he alleges, are the Los Angeles Times, Daily Finance, and Page Six.
Writes the Top of The Ticket blog at the Los Angeles Times in the post that infuriated the MSNBC host (not exactly a biased right-wing outlet, despite Olbermann’s comments):
Olbermann’s network president, Phil Griffin, is publicly praising him, always an ominous sign in television. While referring to his host almost in the past tense. “Keith has been our tentpole,” Griffin says, adding later, “I’m pleased with where we are.”Where they are, as Jeff Bercovici points out over at Daily Finance, is way behind the big boys over at Fox News, Bill O’Reilly and gang. In fact, Keith is so far behind Bill, he can’t even make out the state of the license plate, let alone the numbers. Bercovici thinks Americans may be outgrowing Olbermann’s schtick.
In the most desirable TV demographic of 25-54, which Keith will soon outgrow himself, “Countdown” lost 44% of its audience from the beginning of President Obama’s term until this year.

What is his major malfunction?
Would this not be easy to determine by looking at the ratings? I do not have access to such information, but every report that I have seen shows FOX News destroying their rivals.
Man he must be mad as hel at those 44%, all both of them.
>>I dispute your calculations. Since all of his viewers are drugged and only about ten percent of their brains function that means he actually has 100 “viewers” but the functional number is reduced to ten.<<
I bow to your more accurate measurements...
Olbemann thinks the St. Louis Browns will win the World Series this year.
OVERBITE’s ratings are not falling...
His total ratings are ..
2 idiots in San Fransicko, and the
7 people who work in the MSNBC Building (it’s piped in they have no CHOICE)
I’d bet he had to squeal like a pig at least once...
MSNBC has to realize that their ratings would quadruple if they put a conservative in his place.
Sooner or later, I have to think dollar signs will trump their ideology and Olberman and Maddow will be put out to pasture.
Who knows? But it would be interesting, and probably disturbing, to know what combination of nature and nurture lead to such a horribly undesirable outcome.
Frantic is not pretty. Kinda like BHO?
Olberwoman ... many I’d love the opportunity to smack that self absorbed, self hating, nerd right in the mouth.
As hard as it may be to fathom, Ulberdork makes Alan Colmes appear Fantastically Intelligent!!And that is saying something One believe is Infinitely Unattainable!
“Frantic” = Desperate. LOL
Olberman:
The moon landing was faked!
There are Republicans under my bed!
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
Someone please tell these voices in my head to stop!!
You would think that PMSNBC’s President would get the message and at least try a Good Conservative!! Heavens! It shouldn’t be hard to beat a Numbnuts like O’Reilly!!..:-)
Well, where I come from and where a lot of Red state people come from Keith Olberman would be considered nothing more than panty waste...sad it’s truly sad.., Sad that our media outlets are nothing more than a waste of a good pair of panties.
Keith has lost all touch.
Wow. If you think he is bitter and crazy now, just wait until he loses his show over “the evil Right Wing Conspiracy”.
All You have to do to this Queer Fairy, is look Crosseyed at Him and he would break down bawling like a Baby. I LOVED John Gibson’s descriptions of having to go up to Nitwit’s apartment during the Clinton Impeachment Trials, and finding Him curled up naked in his bathtub bawling and crying and freakin out!! A Total Insane Bizaree Leftwing Nutjob!
