Your normal “average-sinking” ratings for FNC, but probably good enough for moving the channel up a notch in the weekly Primetime and Total Day averages.
Looks like MSNBC’s Co Host Toure has set a new low for that
most pathetic radical left wing cable outlet.
Toure’s comment about the N—IZATION of Obama is more
contemptable than even Chris Matthews & Ed Shultz lumped
together with a topping of Al Sharpton and Racheal Maddow.
Now that’s one putrid confection !
Speaking of putrid…..
Looks like the usual left wing Obama cheerleaders will conduct the
upcoming presidential debates.
The G O P strategy to thwart CNN’s Candy Crowley’s Lefty loaded
ambush questions has been revealed.
Everytime Crowley asked a biased question, Romney plans on
rolling an ear of corn across the stage which should cause an abrupt
and immediate chase by Crowley.
Ok, Your right….the above comment may be harsh but I didn’t
suggest she and C N N caused a woman to die of cancer.
You know, I’ve been reading the weekend numbers all wrong. The “Total Day,” I thought, meant the daytime hours. And, below would be prime-time. So, as far as who wins and who loses the “day,” read the top numbers, not the prime-time numbers.
So, in the 25/54 demo, Fox News wins “Total Day” on both Saturday and Sunday.
Why bother printing the prime-time numbers because unlike Mon-Fri, we have no idea which program on one network beat the other.

I tend to think that more numbers is always better than fewer numbers. With Primetime averages I can see how much of a drag those hours are on FNC’s Saturday and Sunday averages and also on their weekly averages.
