​

Countdown with Keith Olbermann and Lou Dobbs Tonight pushed aside the Anna Nicole story for the "more important news," as Olbermann dubbed the Scooter Libby trial.

Olbermann nearly lost 1/3rd of his normal ratings, but Rita Cosby's special report on MSNBC had impressive numbers. Another note that the news of Anna Nicole's death broke first on MSNBC.

It would also be interesting to see the afternoon hour-by-hour.

hmmmm is it not easy to see that now there will be only one heiress to the marshall fortune...? i dont think the son or Anna Nicole were murdered... but i do think someone facilitated their addictions.... perhaps to get them outta the way? It will be very interesting to see who this baby's daddy is...

Snap out of it!

MSNBC *still* has half the viewership of Fox. Shep beats Matthews. O'Reilly beats Olbermann. Brit beats Rita.

And you KNOW MSNBC is a loser if a twit like Shep Smith can get double the ratings of a vet like Chris Matthews.

Hardball airs twice a day. I actually watch Hardball at 5 and Shep at 7. :shrug:
