Keith Olberman Continues to Fall Behind

Despite overwhelming, documented proof to the contrary, Keith Olberman recently, on live television, stated that his hour long, liberal diatribe known as "Countdown with Keith Olberman," was the highest rated news program on cable television.

For the record, the ratings for this past Monday are as follows;





The O'Reilly Factor 3,440,000 viewers

Hannity 2, 937,000 viewers

Glenn Beck 2, 810,000 viewers

On the Record w/Greta Van Susteren 2,450,000 viewers

Special Report w/Brett Baier 2,066,000 viewers

Fox Report w/ Shepard Smith 1,860,000 viewers

Countdown w/ Keith Olberman 1,114,000 viewers

Larry King Live 1,063,000 viewers


In Olbermans own words: "I hate to intrude with the facts but ours is the highest rated cable news program for all viewers not on FIXED NEWS. And since FIXED NEWS has now migrated completely over to serving propaganda to tin foil hatters, conspiracy theorist, paranoids and racist, it is not a news organization, making this show the highest rated cable news program, period."

Apparently, Olberman believes that he can just pick and choose his competition. In this case he arrogantly dismisses any program from Fox news, which just happens to have several programs that daily destroy him in the ratings and arrogantly assumes his rightful position atop the Cable News Throne. Unfortunately, for him, he doesn't make the rules and the facts show that he has a declining audience.

Since Olberman likes to make the rules up as he goes, he must realize that he can't win the game when faced with a "fair and balanced" playing field. Shame on you Keith Olberman, you are losing in the ratings and the only thing that you can come up with is this?

There are a still few questions that need to be answered.

1. Since when did Keith Olberman get to decide what classifies as news?

2. Since when did Countdown become a top rated cable news program?

3. Since MSNBC allows Olberman to simply "speak away" the competition and their FACTUAL RATINGS, is it possible that they also allow him the same courtesy when it comes to the facts concerning the news?
