Why do you think MSNBC aired Countdown with Keith Olbermann instead of covering the Miner rescue like CNN,FOX?

My theory is the top story in the world didn't have any Liberal talking points and Countdown, which sole purpose is to mage Keith's ego, was aired instead so Keith could reach his quota of daily smears. Plus, MSNBC knew everyone would much rather watch the coverage on FOX, CNN, or any other higher rated "News" channel. If FOX aired O'Reilly instead of the Chile miner rescue you better believe Herr Olbermann would be all over it.
