Glenn Beck Needs to replace Hannity. My only chance to watch Glenn is @ 3:00 pm MT time or 1:00 am MT time. With those times I am at work or sleeping.
Keith Obamaman can’t even beat Campbell Brown or Nancy Grace anymore–let alone Bill O Reilly…how is being a tool for the Obama camp workin out for ya KO?
beckfan,
The only way I can watch Beck is to DVR it and watch it around 10:00PM. He really needs to be moved to a better time slot, but I don’t think that will happen for a while.
I wish they would publish the ratings for the big three evening newscasts as well so I can see how far Fox has to go to bury them, just like they bury the cable news competition.
Keith Olbermann looses to Campbell Brown when Keith isn’t their and David Shuster or another nobody is filling in for him.
That kind of sucks that Joy’s numbers were that low. I have a feeling they will rise though and most likely beat Maddow soon.
Olberman has not been on his show a lot lately. Don’t know if it is football commitments or because he father has been ill or both. The show isn’t the same without him. In addition I watch more of Keith when there are repeats on the networks.
Additionally I don’t know about a lot of people but I am sick of hearing about politics at the moment. Doesn’t matter which side. No one has anything new or different to say. It is the equivalent of two kids sticking their tongues out at each other. One kid tells a whopper and the other kid calls him out in a never ending circle and neither are ever going to agree so why bother watching unless you find it entertaining. It’s like wrestling. You know its fake but you watch it anyway.
I enjoy watching “Ray” Maddow try to compete with Glenn Beck on the ACORN “Facts”.
And I’ll never understand why NBC lets Kiev Oberbyte talk about football. He’s a bafoon, at least on “Countdown” only his fans have to watch. I don’t even change the channel until the game has already started in an attempt to avoid his idiotic conclusions and predictions… (i.e. pointing out Kyle Orton is better than Jay Cutler? what a moron)
Joy Behar??? Just what TV needs….more insane, rambling, uninformed, misguided, liberal, socialist, half-baked, sad, unamerican whining from this woman. Its bad enough everyone has to ignore her on that horrible morning show of heckling crows, but now we must avoid and ignore her in the pm too!!! WOW, what a “shocker” from this cnn off shoot. Disgusting.
Agreed. I refuse to watch NBC’s Sunday Night pregame for that obvious reason and ESPN has a much better NFL re-cap show at that time anway.
But Maddow is now basically just a rehash of Olbermann with more “humor.”
Speaking of which: Is there anything more painful than watching someone who is not funny who thinks they’re funny trying to be funny?
The ratings give the answer.
Here is a clear example of why TRWS is doing so poorly.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show#33064799
Here is tries to do a serious hard news story on ACORN.
She spends 11 mins on old news about:
-Carl Rove
-Bush
-witch hunt on Dem District Attorneys.
- old news from years ago.
Not once does she mention any CURRENT news about all the “voter fraud registration” cases against ACORN in several states around the U.S. or the current scandal regarding the “pimp&hooker” video.
She fails because she cannot get BUSH-ROVE out of here head. She will never grow an audience outside of her niche group of followers until she begins to address CURRENT events with CURRENT issues.
TexMex
ooops. TRMS not TRWS , my bad.
catherine …then leave !! duh
One thing wrong about MSNBC is you need a cable box to watch it…We have cable coming it direct to the tv..We get FOX but not MSNBC…
FOX News, Glenn, Bill, Sean, Greta….. They are all great!!! I am a Democrat and I have to watch Fox news to find out what is really going on…. CNN, Anderson, Campbell, and the idiot Joy Behar…… How do these jokes miss so much current news? Maybe they should watch FOX more!!!!!!
I’m sure Joy’s ratings will go up you just have to give it time, it’s a new show on a cable news channel it takes time to find an audience.
joy behar is a classic example of journalistic excellence. i’m sure that her “news” show will pull numerous viewers from jon stewart and the colbert report giving her a major boost in the ratings. actually, i am beginning to think that CNN is becoming the “comedy news network” as larry king is a joke as much as joy behar.
Speaking of Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd’s new show on Lifetime debuts in a few days. Are both of them leaving the View? I wonder what liberals think of anybody who already has a secure, high-paying, job take a second high-paying job when unemployment is so high.
Beck’s on at 2 p.m. out here in Pacific Time Zone. If he was on at 5 or thereafter, I could actually watch him. He’d have 4-5 million viewers a night in Hannity or O’Reilly’s current time slot.
Rachew Maddows grosses me out. She is so ugly; I don’t want to even look at her. Keith O is ugarama too. CNN is doing poorly because all they ever do is shows on blacks and black issues and I am not black. Fox is the only show that truly dives in deep and gets the truth out. They will continue to bust buttock
They need to move Beck to Shepherd Smith’s time slot at 7 PM…..I can’t stand Smith. But it would freak O’Reilly out because Beck would beat him.
Hannity is too enjoyable ….. Smith needs to go!
