On the November 10 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann noted that while his own ratings have significantly increased since the November 7 midterm elections, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's ratings have gone down. As Olbermann stated, "Not counting Tuesday's election coverage, [O'Reilly's ratings] are down another five percent just from last week. Countdown's, coincidentally, are up another 32 percent. A look at that clichéd but coveted 25-54-year-old audience from last night: The O'Really Factor, 405,000; Countdown, 321,000; CNN, 210,000; Nancy 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Grace, 200,000. That's right -- we were doing 79 percent of Bill O's business." Olbermann also pointed out that other Fox News shows have slipped since Election Day, stating that Fox News' Fox Report with Shepard Smith finished third in its time slot. Olbermann added, "He [Smith] will be severely punished!"
