You people from the South, I hate to tell you, are dumb... this is why you don't understand him. You tune it out, a typical redneck reaction. WAKE UP read and redeem yourselves intellectually.

He's a great liberal thinker and very intellectuaMF It's not that they have trouble understanding him; it's the fact they don't agree with him. Most people don't like to read or listen to commentary and editorials with which they don't agree.

If I was a betting man I would bet good money your question reveils a substantial bias toward those of us in the South for you could just as legitimately asked the same question of people in the North, The West and the Mid West. Mr. Olbermann does not have much of a following anywhere. So why did you direct your question to Southerners instead of Northerners or Westerners?
Since the advent of cable and 24/7 news broadcasts the number of broadcasters has just mushroomed. There are at least a dozen or more to choose from. We no longer have just the Big Three.....ABC, CBS & NBC. No one dominates any longer because we now have what we once did not have and that is choice. People all across the USA choose someone other than Mr. Olbermann for what ever reason. And my dear sir that is The American Way........Choice is a Very Good Thing. I expect this is over your teeny little head. I am sure you did not expect such from a dumb stupid Southerner. Oh well move on Buddy Boy.......move on.

Its not that people in the south don’t get Keith Olbermann, its that Keith Olbermann is on MSNBC and they only have three viewers who watch MSNBC and two of them are from the North. It also hurts that he’s going up against FOX News most notably O’Reilly which has the number one cable/satellite news show on the planet, north or south.

South of where... the south of England where you are from?
Here in the US we can identify a hack like Olbermann a mile away.

Don't say that are you trying to divide people based on location...don't do that!...I am from the deep south and Olbermann is well respected here...when you divide people this way you divide your self.

Does anyone really watch Keith Olbermann? I haven't bothered since he left ESPN.

Keith Olbermann is easily understood. He's a partisan hack that nearly makes O'Reilly look impartial.
