   Wow, CNN really got left in the dust yesterday despite the hurricane/RNC coverage.

   Holy crap!! The Five hit it BIG!!! Matthews did not get much of a bump though. Hannity was HUGE! Rachel did well also but Eddie and Sharpie not so much!

   Actually, CNN didn’t really have that much hurricane coverage. Unfortunately, they aired reruns of Romney’s documentary (CNN Presents) and the America’s choice coverage was a rerun of the live chat at 7pm. They got left in the dust because they had very little live stuff. A big chunk of the “live” coverage was Piers chatting with the Romney sons. if you watched 5 minutes of CNN, you pretty well caught everything.

   CNN’s primetime programs had higher ratings in the demo than ‘Politics Nation’.

   With Ann Romneys and Christies speech tonight is 5 Million out of the question for Fox? And Thursday night, will Fox surpass the MSM coverage again?

   Yes.

   You can see how biased MSNBC is…they already knocked the speeches of Ann Romney and Chris Christie, and they havent even given them yet…

   It’s your teacher giving you an F on your term paper before you’ve even turned it in.

    @d.d.: “A lot of people lament the decline in manufacturing employment, which has fallen by about 1/3 since 2000. Again , I list US companies exporting jobs.
    …
    What will help the US , anybody?”
    _______________________________________

    At the risk of sounding pessimistic, uhh… I’d say nothing at all will help, unless you consider a huge backward leap in working and living conditions to be helpful. We can’t compete with countries that don’t value the well-being of their own citizens, and have no problem with them working as borderline slaves.

    More significantly, and a factor that isn’t discussed as frequently as it should be, is the fact that the economy is simply becoming too efficient. Technology isn’t just advancing, it’s advancing exponentially. This isn’t a trend that’s going to go backwards, the human worker is going to become more and more obsolete by the year, and highly advanced and industrialized nations will be hit first (and hardest) by this effect. There are already several industries that are capable of meeting the same level of demand with a much lower level of human labor.

    A lot of people probably don’t appreciate the fact that we’re only 15 – 30 years away from processors with greater-than-human intelligence. In other words, machines that can design and build other machines with greater proficiency than any human engineer, self-evolving technology. You have to wonder, what will the economy look like when there’s no longer a single job left that a human can do better than a machine?

    @Stan….Just doing what Fox does. Just as biased as Fox always is.

    Despite your near relentless propensity for making sh*t up and general lying, I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt and research this claim, and sure enough, you’re just making sh*t up. NASA’s budget continued to grow in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, and unless I’m mistaken, that’s kind of the opposite of being “cut.” It declined by a very small margin in FY 2011 (from 18.7b to 18.4b), with a larger decline projected for 2012. YOU LIE. Though I will give credit where credit is due – Based on your post history here, your choice to become a fantasy author seems a natural fit.

    the Mainstream Media Complex is populated with Pod People with glassy eyes
    and fixed smiles who parrot identical talking points tirelessly….their
    is no Cure for their “condition”,only a Solution…they must be be Vaporized
    so that not even one atom or molecule is left…for now, they are poisoning and contaminating everything they touch…they are an abomination.

    I hate when people write big ass paragraph. Like for real just cut down to two or three sentences the most. -____- . For the people that say MSNBC OR FOX NEWS is bias give me a break the media in general is bias this not breaking news everybody.

    Can’t we all just get along?

    It is almost time for Mrs. You People to tell the world what a wonderful man that Mitt is. I understood long ago that the white male population is getting smaller and smaller. Be that as it may, the republicans should be reaching for everyone instead of turning would be votes away with wild talk of welfare and other antisocial signals.

    CNN has been covering the convension since early today. I can’t take that much politics and CNN can’t find enough new material that is worht listening to.

    I would like to hear Ann Romney, Christie, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s speeches and read the party platform.

    For the dems, I will listen to Obama’s and Biden’s speech and read the party platform.

    I might need the mute button depending on the BS. I will keep track how much I use the mute button. I want to hear where they want the country to go, not listen to a dog and pony show.

    If you look at the “Total Day” numbers, CNN finished third, but was not far from MSNBC’s total 25-54 demo.

    @I am not a fan of some of Synder’s policies(mainly the emergency manager one) but I least give him credit for some things like not okaying voter ID laws that main purpose is to try disenfranchise certain kinds of voters
    ——————–
    Hey I understand your concern, however do not believe all the left info on that program. I am from Michigan as is majority of my family. My brother is a liberal as am I, we both agree that certain cities are so corrupt and so out of control that this program has proven qualities of working, as long as they stay out of the public voting process. So I find myself agreeing with the Gov and his efforts to get these gridlock cities going from bad to much worse!

    As I have said before regarding Synder, he’s from liberal AnnArbor, how right wing looney can he be?

    Question?
    Why was Speaker Boehner booed at the RNC convention??
