FOX number one again!
Wasn’t BOR supposed to have Sarah Palin on last night?
(or is that tonight?)
Hannity’s Palin interview beat O’Reilly’s. Didn’t expect that.
He has her on both Thursday, last nite, and tonite.
ooo 4 mill for bill
Did anybody notice that Oberbite has the same numbers as Fox and Friends that comes in the early morning, and Madcows numbers didn’t even come close.
If bill had run the interview the entire hour and not split it up he would have gotten 5 million easy
Although this strategy should guarantee over4 million for the 3 nights he does run it
“FOX number one again!”
And it will be, probably for at least the next decade (i.e as old people die, ratings will falter.)
Can we get past this self congratulatory attitude?
It is the same stuff every day here. Like it really matters that 1% of Americans watch Faux news. I’ll give million to 1 odds that Fox news will win the next cable news ratings battle (Friday.) Anyone want to send me a dollar?
Sadly, I guess it is all most of you have at this point. It makes you feel better. Hey, that is all good. Sad, but you have to cling to what you have, right?
FOX getting huge numbers because of the Palin interviews. Good to see the numbers way up. See if maybe we can hold onto some of that!
BTW: I called Olympia Snowe today. She has not decided if she will vote for health care reform or not, but I think she will. The Republican party would implode if she did.
Sure, the most important reform in American history will pass – but will any Republicans be a part of it. I think the answer is yes.
Call her a RHINO etc…if she was voted out, a Democrat would replace her in Maine. Probably not the best strategy…
What I mean to say is…it is probably not the best strategy to get rid of all the moderate Republicans, as having 25-30 votes in the Senate would really suck.

8 PM nicely done almost beat Keith ” Not aging well” Olbermann

LMFAO I am sure you did! Dont you have anything better to do then blog here every two minutes? It must really bother you that Fox is kicking every Cable news stations ass and of course its just a small percentage of the US households thats because ITS ON CABLE! If you really wanted to be intellectially honest instead of whining like Oberman or Ray just admit Fox is killing in the ratings.
Please answer back in 3 mins YZNN before your mom gets home and finds out your using her computer! And changing your name everyday just shows how juvenile you really are this make work at liberal blogs but not with us. BTW say hello to Olympia for me next time you talk to her
YZNN I wont send you a dollar but I will donate one in your name to the NRA you seem like a guy that appreciates guns.
YZNN dismisses FNCs ratings as irrelevant and meaningless.yet, this buffoon bothers to check the numbers. one must wonder why he checks if it means nothing. The truth is , this leftist clown is praying for the day FNC isnt number one.
Well I expected more from Bill in the ratings for Palin. Though I think Bill needs to talk about more things, he seems like a broken record. Hell even Glenn has more variety. As for Olbermann and Maddow, well they both can fall of the Earth tomorrow and the only people that would miss them are the 800k to 1.2mil or so people who watch them.
I guess I could say the same about Glenn, Sean and Bill too.
I’m not too impressed with Bill’s interview; I give it a C for average. I’m getting tired of Bill anyway seeing he keeps riding the fence, at least Glenn and Hannity are full on Right of the fence. Even Olbermann and Maddow have the balls to stay left of the fence, and yes I said they BOTH have balls.
Sarah Palin has had a ton of interviews in the last few days. Here are a few items that I have learned from her.
She want U.S. troops out and Afganistan to be self Governing and controlling a peaceful group of tribal leaders(uncotrollable War Lords). The same goes for Iraq(Shi’is and Sunnis will hold hands and go to Church together). She said Church, I didn’t.
She wants all U.S. Citizens to have health care.
She want the U.S. and it’s allies to sanction Iran and North Korea(wake me up when Russia and China comes around).
She has said nothing new that would make anyone stop, turn their head and listen.
Wasn’t there a guy names Obama that made these same promises?
These are the same wishes as a Miss America contestant.
Oh yeah, after a year, she learned the name of a couple Newspapers(George W. probably told her).
I wonder if she still thinks Africa is a Country?
Ill take Mitt any day.
Sarah Palin has no chance of beating Obama. We need a republican who can beat Obama in a debate. I like her but she is not qualified to be president.
Palin is being given a free pass on FOX just like Obama was by the MSM- and I am very conservative.
Why are Hannity, Greta and others not being honest when it comes to her acumen (keenness and depth of perception, discernment, or discrimination especially in practical matters). One possibility is that they don’t have it enough to be able to recognize the lack of it in her. We don’t need beauty queens that can talk a lot (and hear the wind blow in the depth of their comments). We a person who has had to develop over long years the ability to solve extremely difficult problems and to cut through the clamor, someone who has cultivated the analytical skills to take on the very tough problems a President would have to undertake. That is why I think Mitt is unequaled in this regard. He is a straight shooter too. The only problem is that the left know it too- that is why they were out to lynch him in the last primary. They knew he was their real threat to their ideology. Sure Palin can talk but she couldn’t match the depth of analysis Mitt has. We need for a real leader (not a follower or a populist).
My two bits worth.
Romneycare would sink him.
Not to mention he has the personality of a Ken doll. He has no connection to middle America. He looks and sounds like the quintessential political canidate-which most Americans do not want and do not trust.
