If, of course, one finds a way of somehow dispensing with the six with higher ratings than Jackass with Keith Olbermann gets.

And that’s exactly what he does – by dismissing anyone who watches those shows.

I hate to intrude with the facts but ours. . . the highest rated cable news program for all viewers not on Fixed News. And since Fixed News has since now migrated completely over to serving propaganda to tin foil hatters, conspiracy theorists, paranoids and racists it is not a news organization making this show the highest rated cable news program, period.

Got that? Just dismiss the competition that is whipping your ass and you magically transform yourself into the ratings winner.

What do the actual numbers say about Olbermann and his opponents?

1. The O'Reilly Factor - 3,440,000 viewers
2. Hannity - 2,937,000 viewers
3. Glenn Beck - 2,810,000 viewers
4. On The Record w/ Greta Van Susteren - 2,450,000 viewers
5. Special Report with Bret Baier - 2,066,000 viewers
6. Fox Report w/Shep Smith - 1,860,000 viewers
7. Countdown w/ K. Olbermann - 1,114,000 viewers
8. Larry King Live - 1,063,000 viewers

So despite the fact that O’Reilly gets triple the viewers of Keith Olbermann in the same time slot, he doesn’t count – and neither do any of the other undeniably popular Fox shows.

Now who is a tin foil hat-wearing paranoid conspiracy theorist who is out of touch with reality, Keith? Might I suggest that it isn’t the folks at Fox News or their viewers (and for the record, I’m not one)?
