Wow, pretty good numbers for O’Reilly considering he was going against the World Series last night.
All,
I found this at NPR (a gov’t run media)
I think this is interesting considering we pay for this it is a survey of whether FNC is fair and balanced. I think this is in line with beck show today.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/10/in_white_house_vs_fox_news_war.html
I’m supporting:
The White House on this one; Fox News isn’t “fair and balanced.” 47% (154,404 votes)
Fox News on this one; it asks questions others don’t and the White House should be able to handle them. 51% (168,203 votes)
Neither side. They’re both trying to play this “feud” to their advantage. 2% (6,196 votes)
Total Votes: 328,803
Yeah Gary, everyone lost last night. But you are right, FOX still carried the day. I would imagine once the Series is over we will see FOX’s numbers go through the roof!
Keith Olbermann is dangerously close to being a permanent 3rd place at 8PM.
Surprised to see that the Series didn’t take much out of O’Reilly’s ratings…..
Wow, HLN is now beating CNN and MSNBC at prime time.
Fox news rocks !!!!!
I agree, FOX NEWS rocks!!!
Wow rachel is doing pretty good, good for her
Who is Rachel? Do you mean Androgynous Ray?
Fox News is just kicking the dog crap out of all the other cable news stations combined. Glenn Beck is the new star and at one he was on HLN and they just let him go, error, terrible error.
Anybody watching Hannity tonight? He has a good show with the panel of voters in New Jersey.
Glenn Beck should be required watching for all Americans. Wake up folks, this administration is the most corrupt and radical in our history and they will ruin this country unless we step up in 2010.
I even learned something from Hannity tonite–alot of NJ folks should not be allowed to vote, especially the guy who didn’t know social security was bankrupt. Another one when told what she had just said was the philosophy of Karl Marx just shrugged like it didn’t matter to her. Probably didn’t know who Karl Marx is. The folks who don’t watch Fox are so ill informed it is scary.
BOR’s second showing at 11 in the key demo beats Rachels and Olbermans first showing combined. MSNBC is going in the tank. anyone with a brain would not watch their drivel. HOBO
Updated NPR poll, notice the percent swing.
The White House on this one; Fox News isn’t “fair and balanced.” 38% (161,594 votes)
Fox News on this one; it asks questions others don’t and the White House should be able to handle them. 60% (258,362 votes)
Neither side. They’re both trying to play this “feud” to their advantage. 2% (7,587 votes)
Total Votes: 427,543
Interesting that “Countdown” was still able to retain most of its near-million viewership at 8 PM, despite the fact that Olbermann was not hosting. My guess is – and this is just a hunch, knowing he is the big baseball fan that he is – that he was at World Series Games 1 & 2 at Yankee Stadium. I recall last year, he pre-recorded an edition of “Countdown” from Philadelphia on October 27th. But back to the original point I was trying to make: Larry O’Donnell is doing a hell of a job subbing for Olbermann.
I agree with you db, it is scary how some people are allowed to vote and they don’t even know the facts or who they are really voting for.
I think everyone should watch BECK, he is so on the White House, it really scares me what that have in mind for this great country.
MSNBC is going down.
They have only a few more months of “life” in them and then it is going to die.
MSNBC + GE = Obama administration lapdogs
Obama will make sure GE/NBC stay afloat. Otherwise his main propaganda voice would vanish. NBC/MSNBC heads the state-run media.
What’s O’reily afraid of? Beck is no threat to him, nor does he want to be.
Bill seems to be, increasingly, more shrill with Beck.
He’s constantly knocking his and Mitt’s Mormonism, as if trans-substantiation, indulgences, infant baptism, and veneration of Saints isn’t strange, in his Faith of Choice?
And now this morning, on the View, he’s trying to distance himself from Beck and Hannity and paint himself as an “Honorable Newsman” .
Bill is becoming more and more a mollie-coddler and quite frankly, rather ill-informed on the issues, that Hannity and Beck bring forth on a daily basis.
Remember, Bill is still a New York elitist who does not think there is life betwen NY and LA. And he along with Scarborough love his Manhatten parties.
