Throw your hands in the air

And wave 'em like you just don't care! Ride that ratings freight train straight down into the bowels of the earth:

As we all know, the media is rampant with sycophantic, corporate shills and can't be trusted to deliver a pizza. But an intersting trend is developing that ought to shake their confidence in the suck-up school of journalism.

The just released February ratings (pdf) for cable news networks tell a tale that is decidedly downbeat for Fox News, the leader in propaganda programming. In a comparison with February 2005, the numbers for every network are up except for Fox.

And a falafel-loving gas bag shall lead them...Heh, it must just eat him alive to know that Olbermann's ratings keep going up and up while his head for the shit can.

Probably one of the reasons you've started seeing more "almost able to be called" critical *cough* "reporting" on Faux News in the last few days.

He knows the ship is sinking. So he's trying to wade out away from it. But he doesn't want jump ship completely. Just in case BushCo is able to pull a hail mary and come out smelling like a rose for the bleeting sheep.

It just makes me happy that at least Keith will be keeping an eye on him and doing a lovely retrospective to show just what a douchebag rat he is when he finally completely jumps ship. It is awfully nice to see that the angry old men are losing their appeal as America's daddy figures in the media. Now if we could just wean the rest of the country off faux Top Gun cowboys we'd be making some serious progress.
