Just Goes To Show

More proof.  The American people have good taste:

Keith Olbermann: As the Spittle Flies
By Stuart Schwartz, American Thinker

"As the Spittle Flies" is nearing the end of its run.

This cable news soap opera -- a.k.a. "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" -- is alienating viewers as quickly as the angry and demanding diva has pushed away friends, family and colleagues over the course of his tumultuous career.

When will the show end? Hard to tell.

According to TV by the Numbers, the foam-at-the-mouth commentator seems determined to do to his audience what a bio-toxin does to a small town in Iowa in the recent hit zombie movie, "The Crazies" -- empty the homes. February saw ratings plunge beneath last year by 43% among 25-54 viewers and 29% in total viewership.

At the same time, FOX News continues its "mammoth growth." Olbermann's envy of all things FOX is palpable, screaming "I loathe fox," Fox News President Roger Ailes deliberately attempts to "(inspire) fear" in people, he claims, and is out to get me! [link]
I got tired of watching "foam-at-the-mouth" on TV back when Slick Willy Clinton was in the White House. I have no patience for it today.  So Olbermann gets no air time in my house. It's interesting that all of America seems to have made the same decision.
