  1. NYNancy

    MessNBC is going

    Down
    Down
    Down…………

    Buh bye Tingle and Dork

  2. robert

    Americas Most Trusted News Station FNC.

  3. Peter

    It’s quite telling when FNC’s viewership shoots up when the Republican response is on, and CNN and MSNBC’s fall at that same time. Haha, wow, we really do just listen to what we want to hear.

  4. James

    FNC..thr Right-wing & republican party propaganda channel..What does Fox News, The Republican Party and Communist countries have in common? Propaganda, Lies. I don’t think FNC in interested in a Great America if it’s not led by extremists like Glenn beck and Hannity

  5. robert

    Robert looks up at James Then LMAO

  6. Lurker

    What drugs is this leftist James on? Isn’t it the Obama admin that’s hiring all these extremists? Tons on Mao/Chavez/Castro admirers in his cabinet. Didn’t Libyan leader Qaddafi call Obama his son and wishes he can be President forever?

  7. aceshigh

    Obama has the networks and cnn/msnbc and yet Fox News crushes them all in the ratings “News Flash” Liberals this country will always be a center/right country.

    people are sick of the bias and want fair and balance news and thats what fox give you.

  8. USN retired

    Factcheck,
    I responded to your request on the previous post.

    Post 124 and 125.

    You have the history on Social Security from 1968 to Reagan who tried to fix. You not only need to see who was in the White House but who controlled Congress. Not good for your side. Don’t get me wrong the Reps had issues too but the biggest blunders were all Progressives.

  9. USN retired

    Holy cow they did not want to even watch the O-man to his own channels.

  10. JC

    @ James

    *yawn

  11. betty

    OlberMan uses DICK WOLFE as a mere FOIL because Dick has a BIG HEAD,
    a LISP, and POINTY TEETH.

  12. StephenMartin

    Peter….

    FOX went up and MSNBC/CNN went down because those who were viewing MSNBC/CNN wanted to see honest analysis after the Repub response. Simple as that.

  13. StephenMartin

    At one point FOX had nearly 7 million viewers. THAT is IMPRESSIVE…by anyones standards. Wow.

  14. Dave California

    Peter…

    Isn’t that the point of all broadcasters… to put something on that people want to watch. MSNBC needs to get a clue then maybe they will get a few viewers as well

  15. Demonjoe

    USN retired, that’s quite a mouth full right there in your link.

  16. btone31

    Fox sucks!!! You Republicans need a life.

  17. lkl

    James, losers always cry when there group is losing. FNC is the most honest news on television. Sorry James!!!!!

  18. Steve In Danville, KY

    Everyone notice that the GOP response got higher ratings than the Obama speech? Wonder Why.

    Bout halfway through the State Of The Union Speech, My dog rolled over and played dead, he had me worried, then he passed gas and I thought, yep the speech made me feel that way too

  19. USN retired

    DemonJoe,
    No one can say that web site is not fair and balanced or the Rep / Tea Party mouth piece.

    FactCheck needs to get facts the old fashion way, Research.

  20. mkurbo

    btone31 – I’m independent, but it’s really nice to have a news source that is not so biased that it does not even cover some issues – example would be Climagate and the general unraveling of the AGW movement, which has not even been covered by the other media outlets.

    That’s absurd to keep news under wraps because of an predetermined ideology or network bias…
