(Sigh), J$, why do you keep posting these links bashing Jim Cramer that are now repetitive in their complaints? Is re-hashing old news news?

I think I've said this before, but I'm sick of the GretaWire comment threads being hijacked by off-topic partisan spammers!

Congrats to Campbell on having another child on the way.
I hope the BOR ratings rebuke goes away, but I know it won't. People that hate him revel in any mistake he makes, no matter the size. And one of them has a weeknightly show for revelling and launching ad hominem attacks, including "um...it's 'cause...you suck."

"That's completely uncalled for, Burgundy. You know those rating systems are flawed. They don't take in account houses that have... uh... more than two television sets... and...other things of that nature."

Is there a possibility that the primetime Nielsen ratings are Nielsen's form of payback to BOR and FNC?

Keith attacked BOR in WPitW. Think Progress tipped him off to the Washington Post correcting their description of Mr. Bill. (He's indepedent, not right-wing). Here's what I wrote in my OlbyWatch recap of the attack:
Billo the Clown! [Ding!] Frank Burns of News! [Ding!] OlbyLie: O'Reilly "raised a stink" to force the correction. "Well, you know, they could've also gone with official loofah [Ding!] inspector, or...he's a Nielsen ratings conspiracy theorist, or Bold Fresh piece of expletive, or...second place to 'Countdown' on Friday for the third time in two weeks! (raised thumb and grin): Thanks, viewer!"
