Your article is so biased and filled with vituperation that it's hard to believe it was written as a professional piece.

I agree that the abatement of the financial crisis has made people less interested in hearing economic news 24 hours a day. Your use of that as a jump off point for an attack on conservative commentators is really silly. As someone else pointed out Fox rather than MSNBC has been the winner in this environment disproving your thesis patently.

The destructively uncivil ramblings of Keith Olberman and the sexual orientation based politics of Rachel Maddow are not as attractive as you seem to find them for the majority of our countrymen.

perhaps you find o'really and friends more to your liking?

O'Really and Pannity are the modern version of Abbot and Costello. You have to be as dumb as they are to understand them.

hahaha the "sexual orientation..." politics of Maddow? I have been watching a much different show than you apparently. I love when conservative bigots unwittingly reveal their hatred for people like the openly gay maddow.

As far as Olbermann's "destructively uncivil ramblings", that means you have never listened to or watched any right wing show, have you?

For every time Olbermann rips on some right wing commentator, there are 100 times the instances of O reilly, Hannity, Cavudo, that fox morning show racist, limbaugh, Beck, the list goes on of basically every single conservative host whose shows ARE ALL BASED around uncivil behavior, disrespect for opponents, and screaming as loud as they can. If you aren't aware of this, I am more than capable of sending you link upon link to evidence of them acting hundreds of times more "uncivil" than Olbermann ever does.

But of course you wouldn't sit there and criticize Olbermann while watching the right wing version of him, correct? Just like you are clearly smart enough to realize Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a blathering fucking racist idiot, and not someone the republicans should be gathering around.
