FNC still #1 in the demo. Total Day & Prime Time.
Rachel Maddow beat Greta again in the demo. Go MSNBC! Hannity is next.
One more time…………… Racheal is not up against Greta. Also note how much that demo FELL when Larry O came on, 65k!!!! Apples, Oranges.
WOW Jennifer! You might get a little slappin around for this one!
Current TV’s Jennifer Granholm Predicts President Obama Will Lose First Debate
Next Wednesday’s first presidential debate marks Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney‘s best, if not last, chance to get back into a presidential race that’s slipping away from him like a 2-hour-and-change Paul Ryan marathon. While both sides are doing their best at managing expectations, former Michigan Governor and current Current TV host Jennifer Granholm predicts that President Obama will straight-up lose that first debate. While this is no time to go all Joe Namath on Romney, however, the President has advantages that no amount of debate prep can buy.
Gov. Granholm threw a big wet blanket on the recent good polling news for the President, explaining, “Here is why we cannot celebrate. The President is going to lose the first debate next week. He will lose it. Mark my words.”
Ralph repeats the same thing for the millionth straight time in his life. Luckily the country doesn’t agree with Fox News lies. The polls show that. The network is just for the die hard conservatives.
Good numbers for MSNBC, but not good enough. And for those who say….but they’re close….close only counts in horse shoes, handgranades, nukes and freshman chemistry. Just like normal is just a setting on a dryer.
Bret Baier should seriously ” watch his back”….I hope he has Body Guards.
Bret Baier came out with some Very incriminating info that would make OBlamer a One-Term-er. Bret Baier looked Very Scared today….It ain’t easy
(or safe ) being a Journalist. (amen)
@Kevin in NC
“Rachel beat Greta”? Amazing, didn’t even know they were competing. McDonalds beats toadstools every time. Three cheers for McDonalds.
What I don’t yet understand is how the GOP/Fox News can continue to blame the liberal media for Romney’s woes and yet expect him to pull out a squeaker in a few weeks. Is the liberal media going on a vacation for the remainder of the campaign? Will Americans get smarter in 6 weeks? Will Romney release his old income tax returns showing he paid at least 15% or more at some point in the last 30 years?
betty

========================
This statement is true regardless of the gibberish and nonsense that preceded it.
Not a bad night for the networks.
*Jay Carney Defends White House’s Changing Narrative About Libya Attack
He can try all he wishes, they lied, if this had been any other President they would be sceraming impeachement every single day on every single network.
Its now been confirmed they knew within 24 hours the video had nothing to do with the 4 deaths, and it was an attack.
WOW!!! A lot of old people watch Fox News. How else can they have such a big lead in total viewership, and such a small lead in the demo? I thought they might be a hit with younger (18-34) audiences, but that wasn’t the case. It seems that MSNBC has that demo locked up. Check it out. I guess that’s why FNC maintains such a loyal viewership…their viewers are mostly retired and sit at home all day. Anybody heard something different? I can’t think of another explanation.
*Piers Morgan Says Ahmadinejad UN Speech ‘for Him’ ‘Almost Reasonable’
I’ll let this comment stand on it’s own merits
Hi Jayson, Bye Jayson
Now this is funny, this happens a few days before the election

George W. Bush To Keynote Cayman Islands Investment Conference
Former President George W. Bush is set to deliver the keynote address at the Cayman Alternative Investment Summit on Grand Cayman just a few days before the election.
The conference will feature Bush as the keynote speaker on the first night, and British billionaire Sir Richard Branson on the second night.
“Institutional investors, private investors, asset allocators, fund managers, service providers, academics and regulators will benefit from this discussion on the future of the industry,” reads to the FAQ section of the website.
The timing of the conference could land awkwardly during an election season that’s been marked by speculation about Mitt Romney’s finances, particularly his offshore investments in tax havens like the Cayman Islands.
———————————-
Nice of Bush JR to remind the public just before they vote of the Cayman Islands, I have a feeling we will hear alot of jokes made about this just before it happens. lol
*Campbell Soup Leaving California
“We recognize this is difficult news for employees in Sacramento and South Plainfield. Campbell is committed to helping them work through this transition. We expect the steps we’re announcing today to improve our competitiveness and performance by increasing our asset utilization, lowering our total delivered costs and enhancing the flexibility of our manufacturing network. These actions also will eliminate the capital investments needed to maintain the Sacramento plant.”
Ummmm Ummmmm Bad…
@Kevin NC: WOW! Bill O’Reilly crushed Maddow in the demo. Go FOx News!.
(NOW, do you see how your Greta/Maddow comparisons are so silly?)
@Joe: >>> Luckily the country doesn’t agree with Fox News lies <<<
Everyone had heard of Joe The Plumber. Meet Joe The Dumber.
@Coffee Steve: >>> Hi Jayson, Bye Jayson <<<
Someone tell this guy that 25-54 IS the money demo in news, please.
