Countdown was fluffy tonight

Wonder if that's a result of the guard changing? The Howard Stern segment made me wonder if GE or MSNBC has stock in Sirius.

1. Did you miss the part where he went after Faux?

Pretty unrelenting stuff. KO clearly isn't to fond of them, and he never misses an opportunity to get in a few digs. What did he say, "For all intents and purposes, another cable network"?

4. Not to mention Murtha's comments, which were earthshattering. eom

2. I liked the Stern bit, and the Mo Rocca Interview Was Fucking Hilarious!

[liveoaktx]

3. Not saying whether the bit was good or not but the percentage of

fluffiness.

[Berry Cool]

5. Did you miss the whole first 20 minutes or so of the show?

Heavy on seriousness. Light on fluff.

8. Well Those Were The Fluff Bits

The rest was pretty damn good. Guess ya can't satisfy everybody.

9. Missing my point. if Countdown was really E, it would be worlds

above the crap those entertainment shows do, because KO is smart and witty.

Someone made the decision for this particular show to have a higher percentage of fluff tonight than usual. Was it GOOD fluff? Not the issue, that's a matter of taste. I prefer not so MUCH fluff.

6. That segment on Fallujah

What was that about because I missed it. Looked pretty important to me.

7. I'm with you liveoak. The puff percentage of the show is on an

upward tick.

Way too much Couric/Stern face time that is showing up all over the place.

I do not watch KO to see warmed over network bs.

NBC is trying to get their $20mil worth from that insufferable woman.

10. You are right. Changes are happening.

It is not wise to say so though. I just learned the hard way.

11. "Bill O'Reilly's car" on Oddball was a chuckle

As divisive as O'Reilly is, and as many people can't stand him, I don't know why Olberman's ratings aren't through the roof...yet.

No wonder O'Reilly portrays MSNBC public enemy #3.

Hahahahaha
