MSNBC Is Close to Falling to Third Place in Cable News Ratings (Do they need Keith Olbermann back?)

Both CNN and MSNBC had one especially strong night because of the Republican presidential debates...

hee..hee...hee...that just tickles me.

The funniest part is...they’re “blaming” it on Olbermann.

[ “And Cartoon Network outdoes them both. COMBINED.”

Most of those viewers are adults, who will likely vote Obama. ]

I used to watch CN, but a lot of their nighttime shows are either too vulgar for the sake of being vulgar or to stuipid for the sake of appealing to stoners. I only really like the Venture Bros. because it is a smart parody of Johnny Quest. The only other show that is good in primetime seems to be Adventure Time.

Now a days I tend to watch the HUB as they have Ponies!

I see the hostile wing of the Tabloid Main Stream Media ( TMSM ) as the main mouth piece of the Liberal Intelligentsia Elite, better known as L.I.E.

I check their main agenda talking points from time to time to see if the L.I.E. has grasped the reality of a topic. I am thus looking for how effective those who are trying to conserve America are with the liberal counterculture.

BTW, I did enjoy seeing that the L.I.E. put one of their talking heads in front of Hoover Dam. Lots of jokes in that image: Damn Liberals ! Hoover had the right idea. Etc.

I think they need to do 12 hours of Ed Schultz and 12 hours of Madow 7 days a week.

Yep, that’s what I think

Olbermann at least had some occasional entertainment value, with his pants-wetting hysterical “Special Comments”, or the sight of him reading James Thurber short stories to his audience like some demented kid’s show. Now there’s nothing to laugh at except Sharpton’s “Amos ‘n’ Andy” act, and Sgt. Schlitz and his brownshirts. Rachel Madcow’s snark and Crissie Matthew’s delerium tremens ain’t makin’it.
