Keith Olbermann bloviates to shrinking audience
Has the countdown begun for the end of “Countdown with Keith Olbermann?” With his ratings in free-fall, and his hateful histrionics reaching new highs, even Olbermann’s former supporters on the left are tuning out. Bloggers at the Los Angeles Times and National Public Radio noted the uberdork’s 44 percent drop in listeners ages 25-54 from January 2009 to last month. “Olbermann’s showboat is sinking,” one LA Times blogger noted. “Listing in you-know-which direction.” Jon Stewart ridiculed him on “The Daily Show” for calling Massachusetts Senator-elect Scott Brown a “racist.” “There are creeping indications that the world may not have quite as much need of — or patience for — Olbermann and his shtick as it once did,” Jeff Bercovici wrote on DailyFinance.com. Olbermann struck back at Bercovici, naming him as one of the “Worst People in the World” and mischaracterizing the Web site as “right-wing.”
For a deeper understanding of why Olbermann is finally wearing thin with his audience, check out the movie advertised on this site, “Media Malpractice.” Just lick the picture in the upper right of this page.
Olbermann’s audience seems to be declining in a linear relationship with Obama’s public ratings.
Fool me once….
UPDATE: OK, OK, enough already. I’ve had about 20 emails/facebook messages and counting…. I meant CLICK the picture in the upper right. CLICK the picture. OK?
I suppose that’s what I get for typing at the spede of light.

I keep licking the picture but nothing happens. Am I supposed to lick it only when Sarah Palin’s picture comes on? My daughter thinks I’m really strange 😉

Any day Olberman’ ratings go down is a good day in America
