Fox is slaughtering the competition–not literally Arianna, figuratively.
Bill O and FOX are devestating the rest, but the shame is as long as Doberman gets around 1 mill a night they honestly can’t and more than likely not fire him, Matthews and Maddow will soon join Air America and add to the 9.7 unemployment rate.
It’s beyond me how NBC is making any money, CBS is laying off and NBC has cut back as well, Soros cannot have that much money can he?
Olbermann got beat by Nancy Grace lol.
how does joy bebore hold an audience?
Bill Gorman,
Can DaveM work his magic – seems to me that FNC has jump in viewership accross the board for example a day last Sept. and today. It just seems to be trending since the brown election to FNC and I want to see of the numbers bear this out.
Today
FOX 19,909,000 58.5%
CNN 4,250,000 12.5%
MSNBC 4,385,000 12.9%

What’s bad is that Fox and Friends even gets more viewers at 7:00 in the morning then Overhype gets at 8:00 in the evening.
Olbermann how low can you go..Your hate is gettting you no where You lost to Nancy Grace how sad is that. I can see it now he will trash Nancy tonight.
You think the guy would learn that no one wants to here his rants or his hate It truly must be sad to be Keith Olbermann. The guy has no talent but then again no one does at msnbc.
I do watch nancy every now and then but her problem is she runs a story into the ground. But still way to go nancy keep up the great work and continue to kick Olbermann ass haha
Olbermann below Nancy Grace at 8PM? Good GRIEF! Hey KO, what is the message here? Spin your way out of this, hate monger.
We should not be too mean to the BATHTUB BOY. KO is having a mid-winter slump. He and Phil Griffin think that his humor level is high.
Besides NBC can not afford to get rid of him. He has too much on them.
hey keith, how’s that 5% jump doing now,,,down 4-1 to oreilly——-time to get out of town,,,and take lil sis with you
OlberMan’s once-smirking “guests” are now looking Sooo Sad and
kinda depressed. NOT Happy-Campers.
OlberMan’s HouseMaid reports that “Sir Egbert” cries himself to
sleep at night,clutching his tattered old Teddy Bear.
Rakel tries to call him to console him but his phone is turned off.
Rakel continues to get beaten by Joy,so she could use some consoling
herself.
I only started coming to this site a couple of months ago, could anyone tell me if this trend has been a long standing one or has FOX been this astronomical for months?
Steve, good question, I don’t know the answer, but the graph seems to indicate that O’Reilly has had a big lead for at least the last two years, probably a lot longer, and his lead seems to have expanded a lot over the last 6 months:

@ Steve
Fox has been dominating for since 2001:

John Stewart is over-rated.
He is on in prime time, and draws 1.5 million a night.
Beck doubles him in non-prime time.
O’reily beats him 3 to 1.
Leftist progresive agenda’s don’t sell, becuase their audience’s are not informed. The small number of fans who do watch are not in “teacable mode”. Beck teaches and entertains, O’reilly feeds off from his own and others popularity. He’s a master at incorporating others into his world. Sean is following Bill’s MO, and it works for him.
Seriously, who are Lying Olberman’s, that guy Rachael, Tingle leg Chris and especially butt kissing Scarborough’s, Sugar Daddy’s? Their shows are being propped up with someones money.
steve ky,,, i started looking here about 2/09 fox took off when the townhall meetings/teaparty movement started happening. before that oreilly was usually 2.2 to 2.7 times olberman and hannitty a little less than that vs maddow. oreilly at over 3 times olby is the new normal and 3.7-over 4 is done fairly regularly with 5 times and better happening. hannity’s ratio has improved by quite a bit also, 4 times maddow (thursday 2/4) but not usually that high.
Question: If a man is attracted to Rachel Maddow, does that make him gay?
Thanks JC
And Thanks Bob
This just in: Olbermann beaten 5 to 1 by SPONGEBOB!
