FOX news viewers are the most misinformed according to a PEW research center poll. Also, 79% of FOX viewers were misinformed regarding the health care myths in HR 3200.

Should we go over the litany of stories that FAUX ignores? Did FOX news cover the AZ pastor that called for the death of President Obama? “I’m gonna pray he dies and goes to hell.”

Where was FAUX news covering this story? They are partisan, lying hypocrites and those who watch them in exclusion to other cable networks are generally misinformed.

I think you may have your wires crossed. You think you are a prophet? a prophet tells of things to come. Not things that are happening.

Thank you for making the point about the Pre Election Surge in viewers. I would guess that if you were to look at the ratings for all of the cable news. They have all dropped from the same time last year. FNC has just dropped less.

Rupert Murdoch didn’t inherit a media empire from his dad. He got a little newspaper in Adelaide.

and stop distorting FNC number’s with number’s from last year when the 08 election was heating up. Idiot spinmeister.

That is was point on the stadium…There was a significant number of 912ers and that does not even count the ones that could not go becuase of family, work, and other plans…

Theere us a really grass root up rising and in my opinion we need to organize and apply for the same grants that ACORN will be losing..

I am not crazy about taking the money but they will had it out to someone and since the refuse faith base organization lets start our won group that really focusing on helping people as apposed to enslaving them..

Common sense would probably tell ya that it has something to do with the presidential election. I’m going to guess that all cable news shows are down in the ratings from this time last year.

The O’Reilly show went from 4,092,000 to 3,913,000, a loss of about 180 thousand, only down about 2%.
Hannity went from 4,589,000 viewers to 3,166,000 viewers, a loss of about 1.4 million viewers, down about 30%. Having your top shows losing 2% and 30% can’t be good news for billionaire Fox News owner Sir Rupert Murdoch.

Having inherited a media empire from his father, Sir Keith Murdoch, and never having had to actually work a day in his life, I’m not sure how many billions he has squirreled away for a rainy day.

why?

some say that’s an open question.

that’s nonsense

clearly ppl are chosing.

Then a marvelous thing occurred! I traded in my Clunker for a new car last month. My new Hyandai is very nice car, but I must admit I miss my faithful old Ford Explorer. It was big, comfortable & powerful. My little Hyandai is tiny, the seat sits closer to the pavement & I feel powerless in the face of an eighteen-wheeler! Feeling like a shrimp on the highway is bad enough, but also my bad hip is going out from having to slink in and out of the car every day. Not to mention, I have the negative side effect of this awful thing called a car payment! There is, however, one saving grace with my Hyandai and that is this: the XM radio! I get Fox News ON the radio! Now I no longer have a crippling commute! I can take my sweet time coming home & enjoy the ride. I even smile & wave at other motorists. It’s amazing. And so are the therapeutic benefits of tuning in to Fox News every day, especially while commuting. Thanks XM Radio! I coast along with Glenn Beck to arrive at my abode at the end of a long day & look forward to tuning in to my other four men: Bret Baier, Shep Smith, Bill O’Reilly and Sean the Hannity! As a lonely widow living with two mutts and a cat, it’s awesome hanging out with five men every evening: Glenn, Bret, Shep, Bill and Sean!

Van Jones and ACORN?

One post stated that you will not change the far left and far right..and that is very true. Lets try to reach the middle they are the ones that will matter in the days, months, and years to come.

To the person that was mad at Bill for re-stating the number the Fire Department stated. Please do not tune him out for reportng a fact he received remember that Bill does not speculate that is why FNC is fair and balance. There is plenty of info that disputes that number and the fact is everyone who has seen the pics know the numbers were far greater the 75K. But Bill believes in reporting what he can support via the fire department. Also lets not forget that DC is the only (can not call them a state) listed population that was more Lib the conservative. See the gallup poll all 50 states polled were more conservative then liberal except DC.

BTW did you see the 175 folks who came out for organizing for america they called it the 9/13 march or something like that. Now I believe you can get an accurate account of their number.

For all that think the number was 75K I ask to look at the crowd in side a FedX Feild and ask if those who showed up all over DC in would have a seat in the stadium and there would still be some 20K empty since the staduim is designed for 90K.

Just a thought…

To another point, no matter what anyone says, you’ll almost never convince someone placed on the left or the right that has an agenda with the polar opposite. It’s just a waste of time. They’re the ones who are closed minded.

BTW GO REDSKINS he he he

About the DC Fire Department, they do not estimate Crowd Sizes at the National Mall or the Capital Grounds. They Estimate Crowds that Gather between Buildings where it becomes a Fire Hazard, the number they gave was just a small segment of the the over flow that ended up between Buildings.

If you do not believe me, fine, I would not believe me either if I was not there to see it myself. But please take a look at this video.

and do your own count (is it possible to count that many people) A Friend of mine in a chat room did a Spacial Data for that and came up with 1.1 Million, and this March does not include the people who just went to the National Mall and Capitol Building instead of meeting up at Freedom Plaza.

I am not going to argue this point in here anymore, this is not the place for that. I do that in Yahoo Political Lobby 4 (chat room) I am just here because of my new found hobby of tracking Cable News Ratings.

Anyways, these Fox minion’s are hilarous for the mosr part. Who in their right mind cheers a tv station like a cheeleading squad. I’m also fascinated with the little terms and words Glenn Beck and company feeds them and they repeat like little kids. When will you guys understand that ratings don’t legitimize a corrupt organization. It’s now just alot of angry white folks listening to what makes them happy and liberals watching to get a good laugh or get pissed off at the television.
This talk of the “death of the media” and “fringe media” makes you guys look that more ridiculous. There is a whole other world outside of what Beck, Bill, and Sean tell ya. Apparently only 2-4 million people watching Fox News are the true patriots, the true Americans. The rest are those crazy liberals. or so Fox would let you believe.

BTW, Millions showed up to DC, or atleast a Million did

Somewhere along the line (certainly by the 2008 election) NBC/MSNBC just went off the deep end!! In my opinion, Olbermann and Maddow are the most condescending, arrogant, self-important, anchors I have ever watched. They spend their entire shows talking down to me, calling me a racists, ripping on FOX and reliving the Bush presidency; no time to actually cover any real news. I don’t know how anyone can put themselves through that and feel good about the human condition afterwards? Perhaps this is why their numbers/trends are going the direction they are?

Yeah … Fox is right of center, but at least they are up front about it. They cover ALL the news, they lay out the facts, add their opinion, occasionally let someone fight for the opposing position, and then let me process it all and decide. They truly believe I possess some minimal threshold of intelligence and have the ability to make up my own mind. Olbermann and Maddow just tell me what to believe (when they actually cover a story) and make sure I know that I’m either stupid or a racist if I disagree … cause their real smart ya’ know … Rachel was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford and Kieth enrolled at Cornell when he was 16 (its true, look it up). BTW, I’m a member of the faculty at a very large state university … so against all odds, Fox has at least one semi-educated viewer.

I thought Olbermann was kind of funny and entertaining in the early days … but now he just down right abrasive all the time. I’m not surprised a bit by the ratings numbers above.

Sorry for the ling diatribe … GO FOX!

O’Reilly
Hannity
Beck
Greta
Red Eye
repeat rotation.

I’m in central time and it’s hard to catch Beck at 4PM and 1AM is pushing my bedtime… not to mention I’m to cheap to shell out for TIVO.

So… it is not fact that more people watch other cable news outlets than FNC. Also, by not qualifying as a valid logical argument, it is also not factual to state that the networks garner more viewers than FNC. It is not valid simply because trying to determine an accurate figure for cumulative viewership is an insurmountable task.

2+2 = 5 would have been easier to follow and just as factual.

Has anyone else noticed?

Isn’t that kind of cowardly?
