According to figures leaked to Matt Drudge, Keith Olbermann is the HIGHEST rated show on the MSNBC cable network. He outdraws Tweety. He outdraws Rita Cosby. He's bigger than all of Scarborough Country. He towers over that twirp with the bow tie...
Keith Olbermann's Countdown is by far the smartest, wittiest, most well-informed take on the news this side of The Daily Show, and we need to keep watching and spread the word. Make it appointment TV, because you know that the right wing wackos have it in for him, and they will pressure MSNBC execs to shut him down if they can. But the marketplace can work for us if we work to keep him Number One on that network. They will have to promote the show fully if it has a good following in the ratings.
