   @ The guys who jumped all over me for asking if FNC’s audience is majority elderly

   I’m aware that advertisers pay based on the 25-54 age group. That wasn’t my question.

   Here it is again…broken down for clarity:

   Hannity had 2.5 million viewers last night. Maddow had 1.2 million. Yet, Hannity only led Maddow in the demo by 83k. That suggests that 2 million Hannity viewers are younger than 25 and/or older than 54. What I was asking was does anyone know which it is…evenly older and younger…mostly younger…or, mostly older. The same for MSNBC.

   I hear that FNC is heavy on older American viewers (outside of the 25-54 demo). And, I hear that MSNBC is heavy on younger viewers (outside of the 25-54 demo). So, my question (again) is has anyone heard different, and could the send me a link. Not sure if I can make things simpler than that. Thanks.

   Good old FOX. The network that tell one lie after another all day and night.
   They would like nothing better than more Americans killed in the Middle East so their substandard candidates might have a chance.The American people will not be fooled and the KKK/GOP party will be destroyed.
   Don’t like the polls?How about the FOX polls that shows President Obama with a 5 point lead?It will be a landslide.Most Americans hate racist.

   Awwww does it upset you libbies that your MSNBC can’t stay on top? No one wants to hear their daily bashing of conservatives and their constant cover ups for the failed Obama administration.

   Cry on!!

   Hey Dave –
   The KKK was founded by Democrats –

   This election is not about racism. And only the ignorant make it about racism. This election is about who is best for the job. Unfortunately, MSNBC will do nothing but praise the work President Obama has done, regardless of all the campaign lies he told in 2008!

   @Dave

   I’m a Republican and I found your comment regarding the GOP and the KKK to be offensive. I hate racial intolerance and while I believe we as a nation have come a long way, sadly racism does still exist.

   In case you’re not aware, when the KKK was formed after the Civil War, the group aligned itself with the DEMOCRATIC party.

   Fortunately for all of us, the Democratic Party detached itself from this vile group and its values.

   That being said, I think it’s irresponsible to equate Republicans with the KKK. It paints an unfair assumption of conservatives and for myself I would never endorse any hate group. Any politician who buys into that KKK garbage should be run out of office regardless of party affiliation.

   Sorry to rant on you, I just didn’t like the idea that some folks assume you’re racist because you’re a Republican.

    First… You can’t be offended without your permission. That being said, you’ve won the argument when they start calling you names.

    Just to play devil’s advocate, it is possible that the show does well in one of those 3 hours (in which case I can’t imagine how low the other hours are). Something like ‘Fox & Friends’, which got 1,532K for the 8am hour, but averaged only 1,149K for the entire program.

    Someone on the last day asked how to know how many of each age group watches FOX, Maybe you could look at the difference between the 25-54 and the 35-64. What is left would be those below 25. I don’t know if that helps or at what age you think people are old. As for me, the older I get, the older I think old age starts.

    I know a lot of Republicans and a lot of them are not racist,but a lot of them are.I don’t know any Democrats who are racist.
    Nathan Bedford Forrest began the KKK.Forrest was maybe the best general in the Confederate army.He ask the KKK to disband after they became violent.General Forrest is part of my heritage and he was a racist.See the battle at Fort Pillows.
    The former Southern Dem’s. who were racist became Republicans in the 1960s.

    @Letmethink

    Some of viewers (outside of the 25-54 and 35-64) may be under 25. But, some will be over 64. My question (yet again) is this: does anyone know the breakdown? Link? Thanks.

    A few notes ago Bill-O said he had like 5 million viewers, anyone know how he found that did he combine the 8&11 o clock views or include radio listeners?

    I was in the Carpenters Union for years. Some of nastiest racial comments I ever heard came from Democrat union members.
