Good lord, why don't they just change the name of this pathetic network to Move-on-dot-org-NBC?
Keith Olberman and now Rachel Maddow who has been interviewing the "super intelligent" Bill Mahr ad nasuem. This network hires such hyperbiased rejects who have the gall to present themselves as news reporters. And they wonder why their ratings are so poor. Olberman sucked as a local sports reporter, sucked as an ESPN sports reporter and finally has found a way to have even lower ratings than he had as a local guy - become the angry, bitter mouthpiece for the MoveOn.Org radicals. MAddow needed a microscope to see the ratings she received on Airhead America Add these two to Chris "I'm getting shivers running up my leg thinking about Obama" Matthews and you have a trifecta of stupidity

I had to do a major spit take as Rachel Maddow and Bill Mahr carried on the following (slightly paraphrased) conversation:
RM: Why do you think McCain is doing so well in the polls? BM: The people of the US are too stupid to be governed. They are like dogs, capable of understanding about 20 concepts RM: The American people understand the concepts of "dumb" and "weak" and the Republicans say "We admit our leadership is dumb and we can handle that, we just can't handle weak and the Dems are weak." It seems as if the Republicans have made intelligence a weakness in the political realm. BM: Yes, at both conventions we heard threats against Russia for their invasion of Georgia, a place I'm sure most Americans had never heard of or knew existed before this incident. Alex, I'll take elitist snobbery for $1 Billion

This is the Shepard Smith that can have more viewers than a lot more recognizable people such as Larry King, Obermann, Nancy Grace, Lou Dobbs and Chris Matthews. CABLE RACE, TUES, SEPT 16 HANNITY/COLMES 3,136,000 O'REILLY 3,060,000 GRETA 2,908,000 HUME 1,977,000 COOPER 1,828,000 RACHEL MADDOW 1,801,000 SHEP SMITH 1,724,000 KING 1,710,000 OLBERMANN 1,635,000 GRACE 1,166,000 DOBBS 1,156,000 HARDBALL 821,000 So if my mathematical skills are working right. Fox News has five out of the top seven cable news shows in terms of people actually watching them. No wonder Obama felt the need to hang out and talk to O' Reilly didn't Obama swear off Fox News, I don't even remember when that was, well I guess not when it became convenient for Obama to have a bunch of people watch what he is saying.
