Simul-spew/dump on MSNBC Attracts Few Viewers

Yesterday I was chasing links when one led me to a PuffHost arm-waving howler about how FOX has diminished in viewership 25% over a year and CNN & MSNBC have increased viewers during the same period. The chest-pounding triumphalism in the Puff-piece was vintage Twisted Sister Kossack waving of red banners and one could metaphorically hear the faint "we shall overcome" motif.

Then I linked to the TVNewser site and found that, whereas FOX had TWICE the news viewers COMBINED of CNN/MSNBD last year, now it only has ONE AND A HALF TIMES the total viewership of the southpaw channels [Oh, and by the way, MSNBC "increased" a whopping 6% from near-zero]. What a glorious triumph for the left as they imitate the UN echo chamber, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

All this serves as an introduction to a rant last night by the unwatched [one-sixth of O'Reilly's viewers mano-a-mano] Keith Olberboy who, as even the Moderate Joe Gandelman notes, surpassed himself in simultaneously soiling and wetting himself on air spewing from all orifices as he boiled over concerning Rumsfeld. I'm not going to link any of the self-parodying autistic whack-jobs exulting what a triumph Olberboy scored.

Just to note that, unless in the unlikely case that NBC decided to parade the Olberboy spew/dump on its other outlets in cable and broadcast, nobody except perhaps 500,000 Dead-Heads will have seen Keith [whom Dan Riehl calls "too stupid to broadcast sports, which says it all"] do his all-orifice simul-dump on-air.

While over 3 million watched O'Reilly on his 8 & 11 PM shows.

So let the revelry on the portside continue. Their party is on the Ship of Fools.
