Poor Keith Olbermann

[question everything]

very few, if any, will watch his program live tonight.

[NYCGirl]

1. And why is that? NT

[Donnachaidh]

2. Debates are on yes?

CNN

[NYCGirl]

4. Yes, but I'm going to TiVo Olbermann anyway. I don't own a Nielsen box

so it makes no difference anyway. I'll catch the debate later on, or catch the highlights on the news. There'll be LOTS more.

13. There's a Nielsen Box?

And I have to keep three MANUAL diaries. But, I'll be watching Keith anyway.

[NYCGirl]

14. There was. I have no idea whether they're still in use. But Nielsen still is. NT

[question everything]

5. That's right. Starting at 7:00 PM Eastern

for two hours, and Olberman comes at 8:00 PM.

Of course, the show reruns a few hours later. And in contrast to, say, Chris Matthews or any other show on cable and on network - Olberman's audience will be watching the debate.

8. well, some of us will be switching to Keith

Especially when we're recording the debates in one room for later picking-apart. :evilgrin:

19. We were a Nielsen Family til 6 wks. ago

and I metered every single KO show.

I like to think I singlehandedly jetisoned his ratings ;)

3. Do you want to borrow this:

:sarcasm:

[Patsy Stone]

6. How about if you lend them

the "How to Spell 'Keith Olbermann'" book instead? :)

[NYCGirl]

7. LOL! It's a short book...

but very effective, I hear.

[Patsy Stone]

17. I couldn't put it down!

Better than Potter! :)

[question everything]

11. OK, OK, I corrected

I hope that Olbermann himself would say something like: never mind the spelling, as long as you are watching the show..

[Patsy Stone]

16. Maybe he would.

:)

[Clark2008]

9. I will.

Most of the candidates for president - on both sides - make me ill.

[Totally Committed]

10. Me, too.

Most, not all. But, way too many.

[monmouth]

12. I'm watching Keith and let DU tell me what happened. I have debate

fatigue already, too many, too soon...

[Janice325]

15. There are debates on tonight????

I didn't know that (really).
Besides, I'll be watching Keith, or his sub, should he take tonight off.
(If there's a sub, I hope it's Alison Stewart).

[MrMickeysMom]

18. Fuck it, I'm watching Keith...

... besides, when you've got a digital non-interactive YouTube question, what's to debate? It seems like it will be a grandstanding event, well rehersed and not very interactive...

:-)
