Sure if you love a clown’s act then Billo the clown is for you. If you like a circus act Hannity the monkey is the best! But if you like real informative news you watch Olbermann and Maddow. The clown and the monkey cheerlead the country into an unnecessary war in Iraq … Obama should hold them for treason. They advocated for destruction of the cornerstone of our consititution … the Habeas Corpus and totally destroyed the fabric of this nation. If you find that entertaining you surely need help. 86% of this country disapproved Bush and by that Hannity, Limbaugh and Billo the Clown.

No matter how you put it OReilly has a better show. Olbermann never has anyone who disagrees with him and its a slow boring show. O Reilly Has excitement its quick moving and he has opposing views on his show

Cows typically also have similar intelligence as Rethugs, hence the kinship. Cant read simple statistics!! Check Bill O the Clown, Hannity the Monkey’s ratings vs Keith Olbermann’s and Rachel Maddow’s in the links given and you will understand how Faux is down 50% and MSNBC is continuing its 15-40% growth rate even after elections. If you can’t see that just be a statistic by joining a herd you profess to love!

PapaBearGotFlunked
I went back and looked and I am not going to
take 30 minutes to cut and paste every statistic
cause I do not have the time.
But I looked at the URL’s you put here and they
continue to back up my argument and not yours.
Just because there are numbers on a page does not mean
that you can say they prove viewership by Fox is down 50%
unless it is…unless you just want to make stuff up and
act as if it is a fact.
All the URL’s you posted show is FOX continuing
its dominance over MSNBC.
There is no mythincal 50% drop in FOX viewership.
If it happens I will admitt to it based on numbers…
In all seriousness… Olbermann pulls the same junk you do.
I have gone back and researched things he has said and numbers
he quotes and they do not match most of the time.
Neither do yours.
I have found corresponding numbers from time to time on blogs
in the Daily Kos…whacko’s go unchallanged there…
you should post your numbers analysis on that site and Kieth
will likely quote them on his show.

The oberman and maddow libs will continue to come to this site and post bogus comments only to inflame those with fair and balanced observations. Thats ok, cause they know that is all they have going for them. No one left to bash accept fox now. But, they will see Fox continue to pull away and put clear distance over their bastion of idiocy, and this will make them more desperate. It is funny, just sit back and laugh.

Hey PapaBeargotFlunked….well you had two more postings and no more links “cuz.”
The last one you posted proved the exact opposite of what you stated was a fact.
So I am still waiting for you to back up your posting…
But you can’t do it cause you just made them up.
How about this for a new name for this site:
“Ratings…a place where Liberals… ignore ratings…make up their own numbers and call them statistics”

Fox is still way far out ahead in overall ratings, but MSNBC is doing a VERY good job claiming the 24-54 viewers.

Cant paste more than 1 link here cuz of this website’s spam filters. But check O’Reilly and Hannity’s ratings starting August and see a steady decline continuing till today.

While Olbermann’s ratings have moved up non stop.

By: PapaBeargotPunked

PapaBeargotPunked — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 05:04:58 +0000

Dumb Rethugs cant even find data so easily available on a ratings website! LOL

A few totally random examples

http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/09/19/cable-news-ratings-for-september-18/5224#more-5224

That is falling from a cliff for Mr. Clown and the Monkey.

A little over a month ago:
http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/09/26/cable-news-ratings-for-thursday-september-25/5343#more-5343

Here you go a month ago
http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/10/10/cable-news-ratings-for-thursday-october-9/6044#more-6044

Bill O the Clown’s rating down 25% since then, Hannity the monkey sees a bigger drop and Olbermann’s is up 25% with Maddow getting a 10-15% push too! Just even today’s ratings or yesterdays or check any days after election!!!!

Now just 2 weeks ago:
http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/10/21/cable-news-ratings-for-october-20/6587#more-6587

Just scroll all the way to August and see the steady decline in the Clown and Monkey’s viewers

and the non stop ascent in Olbermann’s and Maddow’s continuing even after elections!!!!!

Papa Bear I went back and looked at the numbers from the link you merely copied from America47000….someone who (unlike you)actually did some research and could legitimately back up something he said.
If you are going to comment on a site specifically dedicated to ratings…which unfortunately involve numbers…then you could perhaps rant and rave and call people dumb and do all of that Olbermann stuff you emulate…but lay off the numbers…

“Total views in case drop by 50% while Olbermann and Maddow continue to hold pre election audience”

This is just an ignorant statement that you can’t back up. It is just a blah..blah…

I guess by “Total views” you mean “Total Day”

Well here are the numbers from this URL that you used to back up your 50% drop in FOX viewership.

Live + Same Day Cable News Daily Ratings for September 8 2008 (Pre-Election)
25-54 Total Day
FNC – 367,000 viewers

Live + Same Day Cable News Daily Ratings for November 7, 2008 (Post-Election)
25-54 Total Day
FNC –373,000 viewers

Yeah…..that’s a 50% drop if I have ever seen one…even a dumb rethug like me can see what you mean papabear

cattleman180 — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:12:54 +0000

Papabear… I got a feeling you are probably working in the Fact-check dept at MSNBC.
They just make up numbers to.

By: cattleman180

cattleman180 — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:58:13 +0000

Which rating PapaBear?
What numbers, what demo, what time slot?
Post the rating you are talking about.
Show me the before and after # you are basing your 50% viewership drop in FOX on.
Okay I’m dumb man…show me the numbers.
Show me how smart you are.
You put the 50% number on the board.
You obviously did the math…
Show me the numbers…
Just cut and paste…

That said you will notice that post election Olbermann’s total viewers have actually grown even when compared to date of Obama’s interview! Sign that MSNBC continues its amazing growth while Faux loses 50% of its viewers even though it might be geezers … are they dying so fast or just turning off O’Reilly! LOL

Thanks America 47000…that was nice of you. I looked and could not find it. O’Reilly annihilated Olbermann. I missed the “yearbook” remark. I would have put money that Olbermann would have given O’Reilly a good run for his money that night.

If you are wondering why I am asking…it is because I think an element of this is going to bleed over into the ratings as they play out during the Obama presidency. I wonder if O’Reilly’s astronomical numbers were from one time viewers or liberal leaning viewers who bailed on Olbermann. I read in a blog a while back that Olbermann won hands down that night…they were not accurate.

“In a bit of mano a mano, Part 2 of O’Reilly’s interview with Obama dominated Part 1 of Olbermann’s interview with Obama last night. Outside of our usual O’Reilly vs. Olbermann charts I don’t typically call this rivalry out, but it was an impressive head to head win by O’Reilly each interviewing Senator Obama.”

8:00pm ET

O’Reilly/Obama (Part 2 of series)
P2+ – 4,572,000
Demo – 1,143,000

Olbermann/Obama (Part 1 of series)
P2+ – 1,928,000
Demo – 607,000

America47000 — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:31:09 +0000

Here’s the info about the Obama head-to-head interviews:

http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/09/09/cable-news-ratings-for-monday-september-8/5004

O’Reilly went to Pennsylvania and recorded a sit-down interview, which he aired part of on Thursday, Sept. 4, and then spread the rest out over a few nights starting Sept. 8.

Olbermann had his infamous “Will you sing my yearbook” worship-fest live-via-satellite also on Sept. 8.

cattleman — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:29:18 +0000

Papabear…do you have any actual numbers to base this statement on:

“Total views in case drop by 50%”

I am presuming you are saying that FOX’s audience has dropped by 50%….?

Prove it!

By: America47000

America47000 — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:22:03 +0000

It’s a case study in ignoring the facts. I stated straight up that O’Reilly and Hannity WERE NOT ON THE AIR on Friday. Laura Ingraham filled in for O’Reailly and some stiff sat in with Colmes. I think Roger Moore appeared as a guest as well. So it is by no means a usual night. Olbermann and Maddow did their usual pimpin for Obama, and barely get a demo win, but only in the live hour.

Only in some fantasy world is that cause for some of the O’Reilly haters and Olbermanniacs to crawl out from under their rock after a week and declare some shallow victory.

So Olbermann barely beat Laura Ingraham on a Friday night. Yeah, that proves a lot.

By: cattleman

cattleman — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:21:59 +0000

It appears that the only time Maddow or Olbermann can squeak out a demographic win is on the occasions when their competition is on vacation.

It is worth noting also though…that this number

8PM – P2+ (25-54) (35-64)
The O’Reilly Factor—3,063,000 viewers (724,000) (1,329,000)
Countdown w/Keith Olbermann– 2,239,000 viewers (769,000) (1,178,000)

…that is the 724,000 for Laura Ingram against the 769,000 for Olbermann is impressive.

Just knowing that Laura Ingram used to date Keith Olbermann causes me to have some concentration issues when I watch her though…circuitry board starts to fry….

Many have said for months now that once Obama wins that there will be a plummet in the viewers for FOX. I have not seen this ring true yet. And overall FOX beats in the key demographic during the day and the night consistently.

25-54 Total Day
FNC –373,000 viewers
MSNBC –294,000 viewers

25-54 Prime Time
FNC –587,000 viewers
MSNBC –583,000 viewers

Lastly….for all of you fellow fans of Governor Palin…she will be on Greta tonight and I am predicting that Greta’s numbers will be astronomical.

A friend told me that a while back Obama was on O’Reilly and that he was also on Olbermann at the same time. I heard that O’Reilly won the ratings that night even though Obama was also on Olbermann. I have also heard that it was Olbermann that won the ratings that night.

I was not able to see any of that…

Does anyone remember if there was such a head to head match up and who actually won?

thanks

Even the geezers seem to be turning out Bill O the Clown and Hannity the monkey!!! Total views in case drop by 50% while Olbermann and Maddow continue to hold pre election audience.

Low viewing night being a Friday. Olbermann and Maddow eek out a slim edge in the 25-54 demo for the live show on a night O’Reilly and Hannity were off.
