Really? Cause that's not what I read. Olbermann's ratings peaked in Novemeber, which is about six months ago: <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/march_s_olbermann_zahn_trend_down_56276.asp" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/march_s_olbermann_zahn_trend_down_56276.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/march_s_olbermann_zahn_trend_down_56276.asp</a></a> Hmmm. Why would a news organization peak in November of 2006. What could have happened then that caused a spike in viewers? While the lastest numbers have Olbermann down barely more than 2 - 1 in the key demo: <a href="http://mediabistro.com/tvnewser/" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://mediabistro.com/tvnewser/" rel="nofollow">http://mediabistro.com/tvnewser/</a></a> And O'Reilly was even beaten recently: <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_wednesday_april_18_57429.asp" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_wednesday_april_18_57429.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_wednesday_april_18_57429.asp</a></a> The evidence is clear. O'Reilly's domination is over while his lead is in serious trouble. “Olbermann’s ratings stopped growing almost a year ago.”

He's held steady ever since. Yeah, he had the exponential jump, but there's been no follow-up since. Remember when "the trends" said Air America was going to overtake Rush? Good times...
