It is a moral imperative that I promote and bump this diary. Also: Keith?
Moo. – Moe Lane
The Los Angeles Times goofed on Keith Olbermann. They “accidently” listed the television show ‘Jackass’ in Keith Olbermann’s ‘Countdown’ time slot. In a correction piece, the Los Angeles Times ribbed:
“A few thousand people might have tuned into MSNBC, the Obama administration’s favorite cable channel, expecting to see a “Jackass” show, and instead they’d have found Olbermann. Worse, what if nobody noticed the difference?”
Olbermann, acting thin-skinned and petulant as usual, took the bait and used his ‘worst person of the world’ segment to retaliate:
The result of this little exchange is that more people are starting to realize that Olbermann really is a jackass. Media and entertainment blogs are commenting on his overreaction and his inability to take a joke. Plus, he’s got a new enemy in the form of the Los Angeles Times.

skinnydipinacid Thursday, August 27th at 11:30PM EST (link)… it’s really too bad he didn’t finish that quote with the “worse, what if nobody noticed” line. That alone would have been great to see over and over again.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the distance, Keith Olberwomann is still crying in the mirror over this.
Narcissistic rage
EDGIBBON Friday, August 28th at 5:39PM EST (link)Narcissistic rage is a reaction to narcissistic injury (when the narcissist feels degraded by another person). When the narcissist’s grandiose sense of self-worth is perceivably being attacked by another person, the narcissist’s natural reaction is to rage and pull down the self-worth of others (to make the narcissist feel superior to them). It is an attempt by the narcissist to soothe their internal pain and hostility, while at the same time rebuilding their own self-worth.
Pretty much sums it up
As a one-time recipient of the "Third Worst Person

In the process, Keefums didn’t get my name right, nor did he get the point of the comment he was critical of. He obfuscated that, just as he obfuscated the meaning and context of Andrew Malcolm’s comment.
In a battle of wits, Keefum’s arrives unarmed. In questions of ethics, his ethics are consistently questionable.

Excellent work, Keith, in uncovering that scandalous connection. Keep digging; I’ll bet you can come up with a Karl Rove 6-degrees-of-separation sort of connection if you really work at it.

illinois (Diary) Friday, August 28th at 12:02AM EST (link)Rarely by accident click CNNbs, MSNbs, etc. But, the few times I surfed thru his propaganda show—-muted—–he look’s like a rabid Donkey! If you can stomach the experience—–try surfing those propaganda channels muted and get a glimse of them. They look like they’re going to jump out of the screen! I suppose those are the acts of desperation as they go thru their death throes given their abysmal ratings! Pure hate speech—-seething & rabid! Gee, wonder if I could get a discount on my cable if I eliminate those propaganda state run channels! On another note——I mute Baghdad Bob Gibbs and babbling Burton. And of course that weasel axelrod. Yuk!
#1 rated program NOT on FOX !!!
Duane White (Diary) Friday, August 28th at 12:23AM EST (link)Nice to see Olbermann aknowledge that MSNBC is getting its butt kicked by FOX News. I’ve not checked the ratings myself but would not be suprised if the lowest ranked show on FOX received higher ratings than Olbermann.
Someone should tell Keith that being first among underdogs is no great achievement.

I'm not sure about Fox's lowest watched show
bannedtroll Friday, August 28th at 12:56AM EST (link)but I remember O’Reilly saying the other night that Megyn Kelly’s 9AM show routinely outdraws MSNBC’s 8PM show (he won’t mention bathtub boy by name).
I’m a banned Democrat who came here to promote the idea that Republicans are racists for disliking Barack Obama.
Let's see... #1 rated show NOT ON FOX
Flagstaff (Diary) Saturday, August 29th at 1:32AM EST (link)would make his no better than second, right?
And, as Arnold says about Nevada, Silver isn’t even close to Gold.
Actually, I don’t think he even gets into second place.

Keefums lies about everything,
Flagstaff (Diary) Sunday, August 30th at 11:42PM EST (link)and his slobbering followers believe him without proof.
In the video, he claims to have the highest viewership among those under 35. I just checked the numbers at “TV by the Numbers” (courtesy of Beaglescout above, “Wowzers!”), and I found that O’Reilly, on his 8 p.m. broadcast alone, beats both of Keefums’s first two broadcasts combined, two-to-one, in that demographic. I really doubt that his 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. repeats (for which numbers were not published) made up the difference.
Incidentally, that video would be OK on Comedy Central, but a “news” channel should be a bit more careful about “statements of fact” from its talking heads. Does no one care there? No.
What goes up his nose before he makes those statements?
And now, where is this blog?

"msnbc is going to profit nearly 1/4 of a billion of dollars this year"
nohone2 Friday, August 28th at 2:28AM EST (link)1) No, actually we made profits of nearly 1/4 billion. GE (the parent company of MSNBC) took $160 Billion in government handouts. Will MSNBC be sending that money directly back into our, the tax payer, pockets? Where is that “redistributing the wealth” attitude?
2) GE announced 2nd Quarter financials In July, with their FY2009 ending in January. So that 1/4 billion is just a (very vague) estimate and much can change between now and January.
3) From their earnings report, GE does not break down individual property earnings, they just lump them all into a cable properties group. Bean counters get a little upset announcing individual property financials like Olby did (since they can use figures to hide groups that are not doing so well financially). I am sure they are not too happy right now.
4) I am not a lawyer, but my experience working for a large, multi-national corporation (and sitting in on a few divisional financial meetings), divulging this kind of financial information without a proper filing is something the SEC does not look upon kindly – I know there was restrictions on what I could and could not say (as well as my own personal stock trading). If he was giving out publically announced estimates, then that is one thing, but since they do not break down the figures for MSNBC in their reports, this may not be kosher.
Don't worry about being kosher...

It’s not about a purge. It’s about an insurrection.
Keith sure can talk fast...
Right_Again (Diary) Friday, August 28th at 7:57AM EST (link)now if he would just learn to say something.
This guy can babble on about the most inane and inconsequential of topics as though everything he says is informing you of the most important news of the year.
“The LA Times dissed me! The mean man who did so worked for Laura Bush! I had 2.2 million viewers once! A lot of young people watch my show! You are all the worst person in the world for making fun of me!”
While I’m at it, Keith, where are your guests who aren’t synchophants? Can’t you stand up to anyone in person who disagrees with you? Other shows on MSNBC at least offer glimpses of the opposition while shouting them down, but you’ve never had a guest who wasn’t a ‘nodder’ agreeing with your every word.
