Anti-Olbermann website quits after MSNBC host's contract is extended

A website set up to counter the nightly broadcast of MSNBC host Keith
Olbermann has thrown in the towel after NBC Universal extended the
contract of the former sports newscaster whose nightly Countdown
program has seen its ratings grow in the past year.
All links to the website Olbermann Watch now point to an "RIP" page
with a short note from founder and managing editor Robert Cox.
"There is no disguising the fact that we have been extremely unhappy
with the recent decision of NBC Universal to not only retain Keith
Olbermann for four more years but to elevate him in an unprecedented
fashion," Cox writes to readers. "After careful consideration and
consultation with the entire staff, we have decided the time has come
to retire OlbermannWatch.com."
Ironically, Cox took some responsibility for Olbermann's growing
ratings.
"We have come to the conclusion that we have done more harm than good
over the past 2+ years in keeping Olbermann in the public eye at a
time when few were watching his show and even less cared about his
assault on the journalistic standards we hold dear," Cox claimed.
A website set up to counter Cox's called Watching Olbermann Watch was
dismissive of the farewell message.
"He's a bully - an ad-man who seized upon a marketing opportunity,"
the blog noted. "Not an opportunity to promote a particular brand of
truth or policy stance, but an opportunity to traffic in vitriol
because it is that sort of poison which he discovered would be the
most effective route to his own personal success," the site's editor
noted.
Last month, the blog TVNewser reported that Olbermann had signed a new
contract with NBC Universal that would keep his show on the air for
another 4 years, and offer Olbermann, who was formerly a Sportscenter
anchor on ESPN, an opportunity to contribute reports to the NBC
Nightly News.
Today, Radar Magazine reported that Olbermann will interview Valerie
Plame, the CIA agent whose outing related to the Iraq War is the
subject of the federal trial against former White House aide I. Lewis
"Scooter Libby." The interview will occur on a stage at a People for
the American Way benefit on March 17.

The people at Olbermannwatch never had any journalistic standards. Not a
drop.
Just a bunch of hate spewing losers that couldn't take it anymore. Whahhh!
Whaahhh!
Good riddance to them.

What's the purpose of having a Dopeymann Watch when no one watches his
show. He has 1/3 the audience of Bill O'Reilly and MSNBC is behind
FNC and CNN during prime time in the 25-54 demo. Who cares.

It will take a lot more than a web site to take MSNBC out of the
gutter.

When it comes to MSNBC, Zepperhead, I am constantly looking down.

Yes, always a sign of a weak man compensating for something.

What the hell are you talking about, Zepperhead? There's no
compensating. In the world of cable news, Foxnews has made it to the
penthouse while MSNBC is still climbing the stairs. Dopeymann is
leading the charge, but the other shows are dead weight. What if
Dopeymann has peaked? Dopeymann's SNL and Don Rickles delivery will
wear on people starved for real discussions on the issues. He would
probably be as successful as Jon Stewart if he were on the Comedy
Channel. MSNBC is not the vehicle for his constant diatribes.
