Strangley good night for Campbell Brown. She beat Nancy Grace and Countdown
Larry King Live did pretty good too.
Demonjoe, perhaps due to the Haiti earthquake news.
Notice that Beck and Hannity are neck and neck. May the better O’Reilly wannabe win!
Yes, it was CNN wall to wall Haiti earthquake reporting that was responsible for CNN ratings.
The O’Reilly Factor – 3,954,000 viewers
Anyone who buys ad time on MSNBC will be going out of business soon, This is a total wipeout.
Morning Joe did several segments analyzing Palins interview with BOR this morning. How weak is that when you criticize another channels success as you crumble in failure. Fox makes news and MSNBC spins it. Maybe Sarah can show Mika what its really like to be a reporter instead of a shill for the White House. If Mika didnt have her Blackberry she wouldnt know what to say.
FoxNews has tons of spin. especially Bill O’Reilly’s show.
I used to watch Fox news when it first started out. Back then, it did seem to be more balanced than other cable news shows. Bill O’Reilly is the reason I stopped watching Fox news; he does cut people off, he does yell at people, he does degrade anyone who’d opinion differs from his…especially after the interview is over and they cannot defend themselves. I have personally seen him do these things on air.
how is that not spin?
obviously you don’t know spin to spin a story is to distort it and take it out of its original context what bill oreilly is a person with emotion and an opinion he presents the story as is and take a position he on a regular basis has folks to argue both sides he rarely shows only one side of a story he allows folks to take defend their position on all controversial topics no matter how idiotic if your looking for spin watch msnbc keith olbermann whose idea of debate is who can agree with the president more or cnn who spent an entire segment on proving the science behind such an under researched and controversial issue as global warming if you call a hundred years(for the dems 100k and for the libs 1hundred million years)of data collection sufficient enough to make an accurate conclusion on the earth which has been around for billions of years somebody stop me because the spin on this one is gonna make me barf
Dan, I don’t care for o’Reilly that much but he can be 10x more arrogant or rudeness or just plain hatefulness will never catch up to the arrogance of MSNBC. And MSNBC can spin faster than a Maytax washing machine on steroids. But O’Reilly is fair most of the time and I don’t always agree with him either but given the choice, there’s no constest — Fox is the only one I can stomach.
When you watch FOX in the evening you hear opinions. Whether you agree or not the opinions are both left and right. If you switch over to Olberman or Maddox all you see is them bashing FOX or personally attacking their on-air pundits. How is that useful to any discussion? I guess it does entertain some folks but it turns me off. We have a lot of issue out there, why waste time on personal attacks?
tvfan……I feel your pain!
FOX has it all, it is burying the other cable networks. MSNBC is disgusting!
Big Keith sailed past 900k total viewers. Swish, nothing but net!!
Beck plays with pies on his show, Big Keith and Rachel eat pie after their shows… sometimes the same pie.
yea ko, and cause they’re intelectuals, i’m sure it’s brie pie
@chuck what guest keith rarely has guest and when he does they agree with him if the libs want to make the claim fox news isn’t fair they can attack beck or hannity who but on the same token beck hates everyone the left and right and rarely says anything positive about either party and hannity has the great american panel where he routinely has at least one lib on the panel of 3
Another spanking by Larry (now that is a sick image)
Larry King Live —1,162,000 viewers (328,000) (469,000)
Rachel’s Mad Show —813,000 viewers (203,000) (420,000)
Remember when they bragged about Rachel beating Grandpa in the ratings, my how the worm has turned.
you’ve gotta love cankles and peppermint patty, if it wasn’t for mindless liberals they’d have less audience than they do now
Palin probably brought up Oreilly’s ratings. we’ll see Beck’s ratings with Palin on the show for the 13th.
I imagine The O’reilly Factor’s ratings would have been higher that not if not for the American Idol season premiere.
I agree Dan watching O’Reilly can be frustrating I wish he wouldn’t cut off his guests all the time if their opinion isn’t 100% the same as his, Bret Baier’s program I find to be must watch television, the all star panel is usually considerate and willing to admit when their part has made a mistake.
