We may not always agree, but your cool. BTW, this is the sixth time I believe I have tried to post this, but for some reason, the other five didnt work. So I would have posted this a couple days ago.

I was not trying to get in the middle of your actual debate. I was just pointing out that Randy is thoughtful and reasonable, therefore does not fall in to the loon group.

But I have found it amazing that all a sudden, many of the Olby-lovers (is that better?), including Olby himself have touted the demo. Randy is the first KO fan (is that better as well?) to demote the demo. And while Stelter has pushed the demo, so have other outlets like Rolling Stone and The Daily Show. That is why I have pointed out what caught my attention with Randy. Maybe so.

He gives his comments from his point of view, as we all do, however his comments have excellent thought content and contribute to our healthy debate. eddiebear — I think you are wrong to imply that Randy exhibits the Olbyloon mentality.

HE was the one that said that the demo was the most important thing. I have never said that. If you look back, I always say that both are important. Second, I dont think I have ever heard KO say anything at all about Paula Zahn, so I do not know what you are talking about in that regard. To answer a question, I personally do not watch American Idol because it is simply a bad and annoying show. I still watch other Fox shows and have in the past such as 24 and Family Guy. Blue, We KO fans, as well as those on MSNBC Im sure have conceded first place to BOR. We dont know why so many people watch his show, but they do, and we have to live with that. So because of that, it is a fight for 2nd. That is still important because of the type of viewer that advertisers love. It is called the SLUMPY, or Socially Liberal Urban-Minded Professional (learned this in my tv class last semester). Which is where KO comes in, because those are his viewers.

Do you think he gets them to hate FOX so much that they won't watch? And just because he comes in second, it's not always something to brag about! If you come in second by a whole heck of a lot, how proud can you really be? It's like going to the Super Bowl, and getting blown out by the other team. Yeah you can be happy you got to the game, but how much bragging goes on afterwards. As Seinfeld says, "Second place, is just the first place of all the losers."
