This story is a complete white-wash of Olbermann. They try to blame his miserable 177,000 viewership on the black backdrop of the Current set.
The fact is, the only reason Olbermann reached a million viewers on MSNBC is that it is MSNBC and probably has a hard-core million leftist watching it no matter what schlock dim-wit they put on.
Olbermann is finished. 177,000 is his number and he owns it.
I could not care less about olberman. If he dropped dead in the next 10 minutes, it would not affect my life.
I had seen 46000 a number of places.

But he wasn’t fired for being unpleasant.
