When Olbermann started attacking Dems, he lost all lustre.
To watch him on with say Alter, or a Robinson, and do the tricky dance where they both were going to try to act like real journalists and not show any bias, but at the same time do right by the guy they were backing, while sticking daggers in his opponent.
I like it better when he just blasts Bush/ Cheney / Rove with commonsense arguements.
IMO Everyone knows Olbermann is a liberal; fine, as a centrist, I have no problem with that. Here's the problem, he has an agenda that he's trying to sell to his audience through his "special" comments and other means. Also, his continous attacks on O'Reilly now looks a bit obsessive.
I have a feeling his rating have gone down.
Countdown with Keith Olbermann grew 49% year-to-year in the A25-54 demo. The program came in second in the demo at 8pmET during July, averaging 334,000 to CNN's 192,000 (excluding July 4)
However, O'Reilly is still narrowly winning the time slot.
I'd like to see the stats on that. I bet he picked up younger viewers and lost some older ones (like me.)
That's as far as the breakdown went 25-54 Demo.
My sense is he has lost Clinton partisans since the infamous Hillary Special Comment. In the meantime I would also guess his demo does trend younger.
Then again I'm 60 and I watch fairly regularly.
Agreed...Olbermann is a partisan Obama supporter.
Just like... Hillary Clinton. I heard she's openly endorsing him now! Gosh! What has happened to objectivity?
(Yes, let's keep dragging out yesterday's battles instead of fighting tomorrow's)
...and your point is?
Tons of opinion journalists, only one liberal. My point is move on and let Keith be Keith - he's all we got.
Olbermann is a partisan Obama supporter.
Which is why he did a special comment condemning Obama's FISA vote?
