Man look at the high rating FNC has. I guess there views don’t have jobs to go to each day. I just know I have a job and a social life that doesn’t give much time to watch tv all day.
What do you call a bunch of Right Wingers chained together at the bottom of the sea???……A good start!! Ha Ha Ha …….I love that joke.
I don’t understand how “Squawk Box” even rated on Monday when it didn’t even air…
That’s funny…. Fox viewers have nothing better to do all day long. We Libs got our lady friends to make long love to.
What do you call a bunch of left wing liberals chained together at the bottom of the sea? Less of a drain on the conservatives that had to support them when they were on land… Hilarious.
@Dean:
Yeah, and if the current administration keeps going in the same direction, the only people with jobs will be those working for Obama and everybody else will be watching FNC in the daytime. (Until their TV’s are repossessed and replaced by the OPD — Obama Propaganda Device)
“Behind Winston’s back the voice from the telescreen was still babbling away about pig-iron and the overfulfilment of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live — did live, from habit that became instinct — in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.”
From 1984 By George Orwell
Dean, monday was labor day and most folks, liberal and conservative, are off that day. You should realize also that Fox’s numbers where way down but still killed everbody else. Enjoy your job while you still have it and your social life until inflation makes it unaffordable. Hopefully you will still be able to look at Fox after all this happens so you will know it was Obama’s fault.
What do you call liberals chained to the bottom of the ocean
0 unemployment and a prosperous america
Oh and by the way conservatives statistically stay with their wives more then libs
Wow we started out so well with these comments, now you see what we have….
Turn’em back off.
Cant believe that Cody made that remark.
Yeah… I’m surprised ANY conservatives stay with liberals…
Guess all the Libs were watching Jerry Springer and Amos and Andy re-runs.
No, the libs are wondering whatever happened to Van Jones…. Nothing better than watching the liberals cry when the get found out and disposed of.
A year ago on Monday, September 7, 2008, Billy O’Reilly had an audience of 4,572,000 viewers (1,143,000) (1,848,000). On Monday, September 8, 2009, Bill O’Reilly has an audience of The O’Reilly Factor Special – 2,237,000 viewers (501,000) (896,000). On the same day in 2008, Hannity & Colmes had 3,059,000 viewers (845,000) (1,242,000). Hannity, this year had –1,671,000 viewers (466,000) (727,000)
With a 50+% drop for O’Reilly and a 40+% drop for Hannity, Fox News Corp can’t be too happy.
What are the drops for Olbermann?
Phil. Jay….Thanks for the facts. I only hope the cult of FNC viewers will take note. They are most likely still looking for the WMD’s in Iraq.
Ok all you ppl who think fox is “fair and balance”. Today the Pres of the United States spoke to the nation. And some moron politician from South Carolina yells out “that’s a lie” That has NEVER happened before. How disrepectful to do that…..Now watch is Fox is even gonna cover and call him out on that. I don’t think so. If that was dem yelling that out to Pres Bush, fox would be all over that statement. UnFair and Unbalance.
Kenny B….You’re 100% right.
