Glenn Beck nearly got 4 million with that documentary. Are these ratings going to be a permanent thing for FOX news? Because the election ended a while ago and they’re still high.
This has got to be one of the best week in ratings for Fox News ever. Oh, and I hope Beck does more of those documentary’s – that was great.
Obama must have smoke coming out his ears after watching Beck and seeing the ratings he is getting. If this was the 1960′s beck would have a grasse nole in his future!
Wow “Live Free… or Die” did really well!
i just looked at msnbc’s site. it had ed show at 8 and matthews at 9 and pictures of olby and maddow off to the right with no time(i’m without tv for a few days so i can’t check it) could it be?,,,they’re gone?? can somebody check for a tv less person—–thamks, markd
Glenn’s documentary was well made and a wealth of information. Anyone could gain insight on the world at large, regardless of political ideology.
I watched Beck’s show on friday and cheered that this information is finally making it’s way into the public’s conscious.
Beck is right, Goldberg is right too bad it took Obama to make ppl begin to pay attention.
fantasic ratings for a much needed history lesson.
Go Glenn!
@ markd
MSNBC and CNN carried the Haiti telephone donation thing over their hours.
@markd i guy can dream but Keith and Rachel are still unfortunately employed and go fox smoking the competition in the ratings wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that doc was great lol at jayz just comes to show the new youth is one dumb age group. Just think a few more years go by they will be out on the streets… i hope we can get some education to these kids before its to late. We need more good teachers and less pop culture
I’m hoping not only smoke should come out of Obama’s ears, but the blood shoots out of his eyes should he even care to view these comparisons of network ratings.
tv fan,,,gave it a closer look,,,it’s just aligned wrong–all the pictures are pushed over–sucks, but i did get 45 minutes of bliss, actually, matthews would do better than maddow at 9
Beck’s number would be even higher — many people were at the March for Life (myself included) and not home by 5 PM. I hope they re-broadcast “Live Free… or Die.”
Go, Glenn!!!
FOX RULES ! This is a WALL to WALL FOX NATION.
DEAL with it or PERISH……………
this has the been the closet cnn has ever been to beating fox(fox broadcast that is 1.75 to 1.255)
Wow, my avatar looks remarkedly like me. Sorry, guys, I’m spoken for.
meant “closest”
bill o is completely wrong on the state of the republican party its more unified then it ever has been and most likely ever will be again
The answer is yes that FOX will continue to have these monster ratings, people aren’t stupid they really see what news has become and who it is that at least still tries to do news
What the &%*$?
As much of a Fox News fan as I am, I find these numbers difficult to believe. 4 million for Beck at 5PM on a FRIDAY? Way over 4 million for O’Reilly?
Are we sure these numbers are right? These are the sort of numbers you get on election night maybe.
