While TVN feverishly works to get ratings from the last FOUR days up, ICN is on the ball with Monday ratings already. Kudos to you!
Looks like the interview JMK interview gave CNN a nice bump last night…

What I noticed was that HLN is competitive with MSNBC in primetime again. Is it a one day thing or will it last for a couple months again? And if it does, why??? And why the weird pattern?

So despite all of the spinning provided by the Olbyloons, he is still 3rd in The Demo, for that is what his followers keep claiming is important.

eddiebear
Why is it you’re filled with such hate? I just did a Google search of this site for your name and found you have not made one post without mentioning Olbermann.

It’s a little scary that you seemed filled with such venom towards a complete stranger. I mean I watched his show a few times and didn’t care for it, hell there’s been other shows that I’ve absolutely hated, but I could never imagine spending post after post writing about that hate. You should probably find another hobby.

Thanks for the link Steve. I didn’t realize eddiebear always trashed Olbermann. I did notice several of the links going to tanne telling Spud to delete eddiebear’s comment; and looking back there is no comment. Were the comments that bad, or does Spud take orders from tanne?
“eddiebear,” as a nickname, sounds like a middleaged man’s pet name for his young playmate. Is that what’s up here? I have noticed that many of eddiebear’s comments make no sense, the one here (#3) being no different. This is certainly NOT a good example of a downward spiral for Countdown. Quite the opposite.

Take orders from Tanne?
Frankly, I’m offended erljr. I resent the insinuation that I take orders from anyone. Eddiebear is a one trick pony which I’ve had to watch very closely because he does go over the line on occasion. Frankly, I’m getting tired of watching and will probably end up banning him…

Sorry to offend. Must have had a bug up my b**t. I know you only take orders from the great Blogsome. Me too. I’ll be typing in the great one’s # shortly.
