FOX NUMBER ONE AGAIN !
Key Demo.
Nancy Grace beats KO (270 vs 209)and Joy Behar ties TRMS (153).
Will be interesting to watch this over the next few weeks.
Will any of the other stations ever be able to even compete with FOX. FOX isn’t even really part of the competition anymore, it’s now a competition between CNN,MSNBC, and HLN for 2nd place.
Tonights “Worlds Worst Person”
1. Keith Olbermann
2. Everyone else at MSNBC especially Ray Maddowman
3. Libtards that believe MSNBC is a real news organization
CNBC was in a cat fight.
We are down a bit because of the holidays, but I cannot help but think what the other cable news networks would do to have our bad ratings!!??
Olby is a duesh!
What happened to Joy on Friday?
2.5 million for O’Reilly? I know it was a Friday, but wow.
Laura Ingraham substitute for O’Reilly on Friday.
FOX cleans house so much because they actually report out on facts, unlike Olbermann, who spends most of his show trying to bash every other reporter. yeah, Fox may take a few minutes to point something out, but not 95% of their show! Facts and good journalism pays off….obviously.
@ page who asked:
what happened to joy on friday???
people remembered what she did monday thru thursday…
I cant believe what I just saw on the KO show after whining through an entire segment about Joe Lieberman being a traitor he wrapped it up by suggesting Lieberman commit suicide for having a different position the himself. This is one sick deranged person and why there isnt an outcry about this rhetoric is beyond me. Can you imagine if someone at FOX wished death on Nancy Pelosi the outrage there would be? Liberals love this rhetoric when its not directed at them but they scream bloody murder and play the martyr if someone has a view contrary to them. Its time for the men with the butterfly nets to come get KO and put him in the padded cell he deserves.
I think Fox’s new challenge is to overtake the boradcast network news and for the Fox Buisness network to overtake Cable.
once in a while i watch the Olbermoan to keep myself informnt if he
is still there, after all, his sniper attack of everything and every
body that is not of his perverted opinion, demand attention.
Olbermann needs some serious psychiatric help. The man is insane.
Cody, He didn’t say that. He said if we were him we should jump off a bridge, you don’t know how big of a bridge he was talking about. And in August Glenn Beck staged a scene in which he gave a glass of wine to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then said, “I put poison in your — no, I — I look forward to all the policy…”

Before I fall to friendly fire again, that was a joke, Ok for real, Glenn looks so young in that video I don’t think Olbermann is a sick or deranged person I think he likes money, I don’t think a padded cell would do it, maybe Jesse Waters
what does my critter look like
The term ‘clubbed like a baby seal’ comes to mind.
Has there ever been one a lopsided ratings book in any segment of TV before? Did Kronkite in his heyday manage to at least double the next best show every single night and triple them on a good day?
Just like in politics, have a virtually assured victory tends to be bad for the people. What the hell is wrong with these other networks that they don’t appear to even be trying to compete? They just keep the same losers on night after night and ‘hope’ things will ‘change’? (sorry, couldn’t resist). Seriously, this is bad for all cable news if only one network dominates. Albeit a historical correction from the bias perspective, it’s still going to end up with the same bad result – lousy news.
