Wow, big cable news night yesterday…heck, even CNN joined in (1 million for AC 360…hasn’t happened in a long while)
Hannity left Maddow in the dust!
The Ed Show numbers are impressive since Ezra Klein filled in for him last night.
What a night all around…but special congrats to CNN.
I wonder if some big news breaks at 10pm et tonight, will “Rock Center” cover it or stick with the Justin Bieber interview??? LOL!
Mike: Isn’t that the same Ed who said on his Jan. 5, 2011 show:
Ed Schultz: Republicans are ‘Bastards Who Want to Destroy the American Dream

You may want to verify that, ifso here is the url:
I really didn’t think people with IQ’s above freezing watched that show…
Holy Crap over 4 million for Oreily over 3 million for Hannity and almost 3 million for Greta!!! Ed and Rachel and tingles gain and have a “good night” Guess we know now where people go for news. They are tuning in to opinion shows for the news now!
Wow, all 3 had big numbers. Poor CNN, in third place but still kicking. Hard to argue though that they are THE place for breaking news.

We haven’t seen those “The Factor beats Rock Center” headlines in a while…
@ Former CNN Fan
CNN would do better if they were more balanced! In the wee hours of the morning Ari Fletcher was on with A C, he very nicely “told him off” when A C began doing nothing but talking down the Romney response.
Some fadeing Networks never learn and A C is their best in mho!
I thought CNN would have big numbers considering the big int. news.
It’s time to temporarily close the embassies in both Libya and Egypt and evacuate all employees outta there.
Vote Romney …. 1964 !
This guy is still stuck in the cold war era .
I live near Boston, and a Boston-themed website called Universalhub.com had an entry discussing that the Red Sox baseball team might be up for sale. Why am I mentioning that? Because the source of the story was the Fox Business Channel. A perusal of the daily ratings for FBC indicates that possibly aside from Imus in the Morning, viewers are few and far-between. Some readers of this story may ask “is there really a Fox Business Channel?”.
The Factor and Hannity repeats at 11 and midnight beat each Primetime MSNBC Show! FNC is the Network to go for news and commentary!
ABC, CBS, NBC Devote twenty Times more (20 to 1) to Romney Flap Than Obama on Libyan crisis.
Suprised? I’m not
” Journalists for Obama”

Good n umbers for all of them. Hannity had Bob Woodward on last evening, he honestly did a great interview.
As long as the embassy story keeps going all will do well, and Egypt’s President has called for a massive Million people protest Friday stay tuned.
Numbers from tonight may get huge numbers for Fox and CNN may make up some ground.
We have a trump card to make these mobs in the Middle East back off: our president’s Nobel Peace Prize. It will be like showing the crucifix to a bunch of vampires.
Lawrence,
I thought the reason that Fox Business Channel has lower ratings was because they are carried by less cable providers and therefore reach less households?
68 million vs. 100 million for CNN and 97 million for their direct competition CNBC.
It seems people are backing off that crap story about our Marines in Cario being ordered to be unarmed.
@AppleStinx
ROTFLMBO
FBN might be carried by less households, but as the ratings proved during the RNC convention, obviously the channel has the ability to get high ratings (when it copies Fox News w/politics)….but when it comes to business news, people know it exists, but ignore the channel.
