   I think the ratings for The Ed Show are wrong.

   CNN loses to their sister station again in the Primetime totals. Ouch.

   CNN continues to broadcast liberal bias commentators (i.e. Piers Morgan) and then wonders why ratings tank. Let me program CNN network..I can do a better job of figuring out what a majority of viewers want.

   @Mitch
   The Ed Show ratings has to be wrong . How Ed even gets the ratings he does, is a question a fifth grader couldn’t even answer .Ed is a JOKE and always will be. ED couldn’t make it as a rightwing talk show host in Fargo ND .Ed then overnight changed to the left and started yelling how he is a defender of the middle class and union workers.Ed is so full of sh*t.Why is E.A Schultz nonunion? Why does Ed own a fishing lodge in Canada, when he yells ‘buy American?’Ed seen the money he could make by going left because he was a failure as a rightwing talk show host.Ed always wanted to be as big as Rush and just never could pull it off Did Ed ever smack his ex-wife around? Did Ed ever say that Bill and Hillary ‘were a cancer in America ?’Did Ed ever shot his dog while hunting when he was drinking? THE ANSWER IS’ YES.’ I got to question his rating also because I can’t see how he gets the ratings he does.Ed Schultz always was and always will be nothing be a big mouth POS.

    I see the staff of the ‘looney bin’ left you out for the weekend.Now where is your son Jeffie,the other looney tune nut? Don’t you people see through Jeff(Mr Palm Springs) and his BS and lies ?

    Jeffie, you posted a short time ago that since your “conversion” you have only called public persons names on this site not individual posters. Then the next day you call a poster a prick–as I said you guys are losing it. I referred not just to you but Stevie, Gabe and a couple other libs. Don’t set yourself on a pedestal and then knock yourself off–I will comment on it.

    Piers Morgan (CNN) asked Bill Clinton who he would like to see play him in the movie. He couldn’t think of anyone. I have a suggestion. How about Randy Quaid? Michael Moore could play Hillary, and Alfred E. Neuman could play Chelsea.

    It’s all on how you look at the numbers.

    Once again, Liberal Media dominating in the 25-54 Demo…the only thing that matters:

    5PM: CNN/MSNBC/HLN = 264 vs Fox = 226
    6PM: CNN/MSNBC/HLN = 272 vs Fox = 254
    7PM: CNN/MSNBC/HLN = 327 vs Fox = 233
    8PM: CNN/MSNBC/HLN = 453 vs Fox = 449
    9PM: CNN/MSNBC/HLN = 561 vs Fox = 348
    10PM:CNN/MSNBC/HLN = 462 vs Fox = 278
    11PM:Fox = 391 vs CNN/MSNBC/HLN = 297
    12AM:CNN/MSNBC/HLN = 332 vs Fox = 223

    Liberal News stations won 7 out of the 8 time slots.

    This goes back to the argument that liberal viewers have more choices and are spread out across the news shows and that’s why their numbers are divided. However, once you add them up, you quickly find out that more people in this most important demographic are tuning in to Liberal news stations(CNN/MSNBC/HLN) on cable than they are tuning in to the conservative news station on cable(Fox).

    The numbers are right above in case you want to double check.

    @Steve Perry

    You can combine the #s any way you like,,but the fact is:

    Gallup poll: Conservatives outnumber liberals

    The Gallup survey found that 40 percent of Americans consider themselves conservative; 35 percent consider themselves moderate; and 21 percent see themselves as liberal. The figures did not change from 2010.

    If you’re trying to convey that there ia a liberal bias in the broadcast media,,your just preachin to the choir…

    @PaulG

    On the contrary, I’m only attempting to convey that More people in the 25-54 demographic who watch cable news don’t watch Fox News…it’s as simple as that.

    As far as those numbers you provided me, you just acknowledged More Americans don’t consider themselves Conservative. Most Americans (56%) are either Moderate or Liberal and NOT Conservative. No wonder President Obama won the election by over 10 Million votes.
