Maybe tonight?
maddow is taking a hit…
Thats not all Ray is taking and he washes it down with kool-aid.
how did larry king live get back up to 1,000,000 i guess rachel maddow is not appealing to Countdowns veiwers ..her shows boring to be honest..after countdown ends .i usually turn the channel
I wathced the O’Reilly Factor for the first time last night, and I have to say I dont really care for it. I enjoy watching Glenn Beck, and listing to Micheal Savage, and rusty humpheries. I dont get how O’Reilly ratings are higher the Becks, I think if bill and becks showtimes where switched beck would get even more viewers then bill is gettin right now.
Fox News sheperd smiths ratings are declining .he didnt get to 2 million wensday evening
I would bet that the time slot has a lot to do with O’Reilly’s ratings being higher than Beck.
There’s been rumblings for a while that FNC may move Beck to 9 to follow O’Reilly, and push Hannity back to 11. Personally I think they should move Beck to 7 and push Baier and Shep up an hour.
I WAS FOLLOWING A CHAT A FEW WEEKS AGO BUT RAN INTO SYSTEM ISSUES AND COULD NOT CHIME IN. IF “DEMOGRAPHICALLY” IS STILL CHECKING IN HERE, LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF AN EVER SHINKING DEMOGRAFIC, IVY LEAGUE EDUCATED CONSERVATIVES. THE PROBLEM WITH YOU AND THOSE OF YOUR ILK IS THAT YOU ALLOW YOUR LIBERAL IDEALISMS TO CLOUD YOUR JUDGMENT TO THE POINT WHERE YOU IGNORE FACTS. HERE ARE A FEW:
GITMO – STILL OPEN
STIMULUS – INEFFECTIVE
CARD CHECK – DEAD IN THE WATER
CAP AND TRADE – WILL NEVER SEE THE SENATE FLOOR
HEALTH CARE – DYING A SLOW DEATH
WAR STRATEGY – SAME AS BUSH
2010 MID TERM – PENDING DEM BLOODBATH
OBAMA APPV RATING – 46%
GAME SET MATCH!
James, sometimes Shep darts below 2 million, not losing viewers as just didn’t get as many. Can’t believe that Olbermann beat Fox & Friends, he has been losing to them a bit lately! I am sure he is proud!
I heard on the Sean Hannity message board that in Glenn Beck’s new book Arguing with Idiots that he wrote he doesn’t tip, that’s awful, but since it was on a message board I can’t guarantee that it is 100% true.
Since I’m reading that book right now I’ll look for that.
luv suv,,,hopefully you have a big gas monster suv putting out those pollutants. the earth is cooling, we need you
markd, yeah I know is NBC going to have….Black Week?
“everybody turn all the lights on in your house”
K.O. passed up Fox and Friends, he is the man. AND, he had 30% of B.O.’s audience. You can NOT keep this dominating man down for long. Look out Red Eye, K.O. has his ratings target locked on you..
I hope Tiger’s wife uses his one iron on Oberdone and Maddog next then pulls out the driver on Mr. Ed. All she will need is a putter to shut up little sissy Chrissy Matthews.
countdown beats fox and friends all the time in viewership
Countdown doesn’t beat Fox & Friends. They’re on at different times. O’Reilly beats Countdown 3-1/2 to 1. It’s not even close. KO should just give up.
Fox & Friends is a top 10 cable news program. Countdown with Keith Olbermann is not.
November cable news ratings are in and Fox has the top 13 shows…that would be all of their shows except for Red Eye.
Fox and Friends did beat Oberdouche for November as he came in 14th.
Beck came in second, right behind Oreilly and one step ahead of Hannity.
Ok, I thought I’d seen it all, but Olbermann beats Fox and Friends takes the cake. Hands down. What the hell is up with that? That gives the word desperation an entirely new meaning. LOL.
