It's an absolute slaughter, as usual...

But just who in the hell are those 1,188,000 demented souls who actually watch Olbermann??
I guess there really are things in this world that you're just not meant to understand...

and don't forget Gallop has Obama job approval at only 49% - Among post-World War II presidents, only Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, and Ronald Reagan dropped below the symbolic majority approval level faster than Obama did. But them Obama wants to be a record setter.
and Rasmussen has Obama's approval index at minus 14 fro 3 days running.
as the old saying goes numbers don't lie, Democrats do

This is no surprise really.
However, I am troubled by the two recent incidents where inaccurate video footage was used. Those are the kinds of distortions that have characterized the Jurassic Media on the left.
If FOX continues to allow these errors, they can expect their ratings to dive as far and as fast as the Jurassic Media's has.
People need to be fired.

I'm shocked that the Jurassic Media hasn't fired the unpopular goons like Tweety Matthews, Madcow Maddow and AssAnchor Cooper for dragging their business down into the whale poop.
Hmmm..., must be a union thing.

ahhh...the video is private. In other words, it won't play.

Gracious, good afternoon! My humble apologies.
The video is now public. :D

B-b-b-b-b-but Sean Hannity ran a video that consisted of footage of two different rallies but implied they were the same rally! And Jon Stewart made fun of him!
This trumps everything that's ever happened on any other network! Including MSNBC and CNN's fake Limbaugh quotes and MSNBC's fake Palin photoshop, and Dan Rather's fake TANG memos! What Sean Hannity did was a billion kazillion times worse than all that *and* the Holocaust put together!

Just as the public abandoned old line MSM newspapers and magazines, they are leaving ABC,CBS, NBC, and CNN in droves.
Some of it is ideology on the viewers part, the other is honesty on the networks part.
The slide will continue, they are "all in" with Obama and he is sinking faster than rock in water.
Ah, Obama, the networks thought when he first came on the scene that he was "slicker than eel shit in a bucket of snoot."
They are left holding the bucket, and it is still full.
