A Ratings Coup for Keith Olbermann
By Brian Stelter
Keith Olbermann may not be going on vacation anytime soon.
Mr. Olbermann, the host of “Countdown” on MSNBC, cancelled his vacation plans for this week when it appeared likely that his program, which debuted five years ago as a distant also-ran to its counterparts on Fox News Channel and CNN, may beat Fox in the 25- to 54-year-old demographic for a full week for the first time.
And sure enough, “Countdown” did displace “The O’Reilly Factor,” hosted by Mr. Olbermann’s arch-nemesis Bill O’Reilly, last week in that demographic.

MSNBC must be kidding.
O’Reilly was not on “Super Tuesday” and he had a guest host on Friday.
TVNewser show O’Reilly beating Olbermann 2 out of the 3 days he was actually in.
MSNBC is grasping once again.

So “Facts” = “Excuses,” Shaun? HA!
As I said over at ICN, and have said a number of times at TVN… Let us not forget, “Live” versus “Live+Same Day.”
