Apparently there isn’t a very big market of people eager to hear blowhards like Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow ceaselessly trumpet the hackneyed, old canard which says that any disagreement with President Obama’s far-left policies must necessarily be rooted in racism.
On what, pray tell, do Olbermann and Maddow blame their own pathetic ratings? Certainly they can’t blame racism. I humbly suggest that their dismal numbers are a result of the fact that comparatively few Americans — of any skin color — can stomach the sight or sound of a hateful, raging, smug, intolerant, glib, closed-minded white ideologue, any more than they can stomach a black ideologue of similar description. That said, presumably this pair of non-entities can find solace in the fact that Americans’ utter lack of interest in them has absolutely nothing to do with race.
