Bill O’Reilly of Fox News is number one because he sticks to the issues and keeps an open mind while others, like MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, just cannot get passed their ratings failures. Rush Limbaugh offered a challenged to MSNBC news yesterday saying he would like to see them do their news for 30 days without any mention of him…and Keith Olbermann just could not handle the pressure.

I only see/hear Rush Limbaugh when they run clips of him on Fox News, otherwise I could not tell you what he said on his show, or what his agenda is really about, or for that matter, anything about his life and problems without news coverage about the man. Limbaugh must be right about MSNBC’s need to run him down and use him to get ratings, because Keith Olbermann went off on his show last night referencing Rush Limbaugh. But it was not just Rush; Keith Olbermann’s tirade included Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Gov. Rick Perry, and a few others before he was through spewing out names and portraying the ridiculousness of one man’s desperation to increase his ratings and audience.

If MSNBC wants to legitimize their news organization (that’s giving them credit in a category that it’s uncertain they belong in) and increase ratings, they might mention to Keith Olbermann that “F U” is not really a critique but a nasty way of being immature. MSNBC might actually report the news, without bias, and let the viewer decide if it’s really news or not. Just a couple of suggestions from a woman who watches the news frequently, and wants to know what happened during the day without having some moron name-calling and spewing hate messages while attempting to call himself a news commentator.

Bill O’Reilly has been investigating ACORN, whose under-the-counter operations on Elysian Fields St. in New Orleans have come under scrutiny. Even though some viewers have written to O’Reilly suggesting that Obama must have known what was happening within the ACORN organization, Mr. O’Reilly has defended Obama and has kept an open mind throughout his segments on the investigation. O’Reilly does not bother to debate name-calling by Keith Olbermann who refers to O’Reilly as “Skeezics, Skeezicks, or Skeezix.” I’m not certain how you spell what is arguably a derogatory remark made about a man who would presumably suffer from some palsy…but my dad’s generation used the expression or I would not know what it meant.

In this house, we have attempted to watch MSNBC on three occasions and have had to tune into another channel due to rudeness (Chris Matthews), derogatory and slanderous remarks (Keith Olbermann), and lack of informative coverage (the newsy portion of the programming). It’s no wonder that MSNBC and CNN are in a claw on claw race for last place in the “also ran” news channels.
