Big Keith with over 900,000 total viewers once again. Awesome! He EASILY breaks 800k total viewers whenever he hosts. And his reruns easily break 500k total viewers. What an enlighted individual…
I can’t wait for his expert analysis on Sunday Night Football. But first, he and Rachel will cruise the local biker bars tonight competing for the same skanks. What a team!!
Just amazing to me that F&F gets more viewers, on the worst time, than does Countdown. MSNBC has plummed new depths!
Hello all right winged nut jobs,
The past few days my messages haven’t been posted, I see this right winged propaganda site cannot accept the truth. Which most cons can’t do. Once again The View, Williams, Gibson, Couric beats all of Fox Noise combined. Did everyone hear the good news? Time warner cable will pull Fox News off their programing!!! Yay!! I see finally people are realizing the dangers of this racist hateful channel. The fact some people are doing something about it is amazing. This is a great sign for things to come.
Silence me if you must
but the cons we cannot trust
Cons are full of hateful bigotry
and we will fight them freely
Good night and good luck…
Loving, though a quick scan of your posts reveals you are a wacky extremist (there are plenty of wacky extremists on the right, too, so it’s not a party bias) we’re not blocking your messages deliberately. For reasons that aren’t readily apparent to me, you are winding up in our spam filter, but so far as I can figure out, it’s not intentional.
I didn’t see The View, Williams, Gibson, Couric listed in the cable news section of this website. Why? Oh, maybe it’s not news. It’s to bad TVBTN won’t put these shows where they should be. Or is it that the garbage can is right next to the desk and they do?
Its extremely unlikely that Time Warner would drop Fox programming. Its a loosing deal on both companies. Not only would Warner loose alot (like really alot) of subscribers, but other companies (directv, Cox Cable ect.) would come flooding in to fill the void
Fox has tons of channels (Fox, Fox News, Fox Sports, Fox Soccer Channel, Fox Reality, Fox Movies), Waarner would never risk allienating so many people. I think its just a bluff by both companies to try to get what they want. In the end they’ll come to some agreement.
loving liberal its idiotic and useless to compare broadcast numbers and cable numbers 99.9% of the time broadcast wins so okay the libs take broadcast but conservatives win the day in everything else foxnews #1 cable news network rush limbaugh largest radio audience the wsj most circulated newspaper how do you explain that
Robert,
I am somewhat new to your website and I have to say you do an amazing job! You’re always on top of things and when there are mistakes, you let people know. Keep up the great work!
Looks like the liberals are the party of greed. They really do want control over everything.
Let’s not be too harsh on loving liberal, looks like she forgot to take her medication again today.
OMG Fat Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Olberdork and his Nephew Maddew have zero viewers
Anderson Cooper has 360 viewers, Tingley Leg has over 1000 viewers, Mad Cow attracted all the Cows and Two Bullls from the South Forty, and Keith (Mr Magoo) Overbite had the entire staff of PMSNBC watch his show for the entire show (a new record).
The left must be very disappointed with “Mac Daddy” Obama. All his lies during his deceitful campaign are coming out: No lobbyists, health care bill on c-span, no pork in bills, close gitmo, anti war, transparancy, change Washington, champion of the middle class, Wall Street, special interests, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Now its bank bale outs, global warming hoax, health care scam, Big Pharma deal, insurance deals, back room deals, acorn, Van Jones, Tax cheats in administration, 30,000 new troups in Afghanistan, Chicago thug politics, Democrat buyout disguised as a stimulus package, Spending out the wazoo, Rham Emanuel. What am I missing? Can any honest liberal democrat believe a thing he says anymore. All the complaints the left had about Bush/Chaney is on steroids with this dude. Now even the MSNBC lap dogs are turning on him. I guess they got tired of making excuses for him. The next thing is he will get causght with a white woman. When that happens his 90% approval rating among blacks will go down to about 10%.
Looney Liberal once again your favorite shows(The View, Williams, Gibson, and Couric) were again beaten by The Simpsons on FOX how does it feel to have the loud mouths at the view hammered by Bart Simpson?
I usually dont watch MSNBC but, I have been watching with great amusement in the past few days as they have been eating their own. Wow if you go against their point of view you become public enemy number one. Has anybody noticed how often they mention shows on FOX? Its freaking hilarious.
Time Warner Cable and Fox are having negotiation issues.TWC will not be dropping Fox News or any other channel because of any political reasons, it is all money related and this thing will get settled soon.
Rich,
the TWC/Fox negotiations have nothing to do with Fox News or any of Fox’s other *cable* networks, only the retransmission fees for the Fox owned local broadcast affiliates.I was mistaken, apparently Fox’s cable networks, including Fox News and FX, are on the table for removal from TWC systems.
Yeah, I was just responding to an earlier post from Loving Liberal about TIME WARNER getting rid of Fox News Programming. I should have been more specific in my post.
OlberCrazy is an Elitist….he pronounces “Abu Ghraib” as
“A ba Hoo-Goo-Robby”….Silly Keethy !
to Looney-Liberal…….
And how much does View,Williams,Gibson,Couric beat OlberCrazy and
Rakel ?
Hmmmmm? ( I can’t HEAR you! )

— That would be because The View, Williams, Gibson, Couric are on broadcast channels, not cable.
