@Jeff
Control yourself Jeff, we don’t need an accident on the floor in here, Rats already threw up on it
@coffee Steve Univision?
Lmao!!
@Steve
hard to say, most the times the right wing media has “major” tape to show us it’s something like a 20 year old Obama says something that somehow we are supposed to be outraged over that isn’t even remotely offensive.
@Jeff
@coffee Steve Univision?
See yo guys after supper
BBL..
@Mark
outraged over that isn’t even remotely offensive
Or another stupid tape of somebody hugging someone 4o years ago LOL
More than likely a bunch of nothing again
Later gators
Okay Coffee Steve
Anderson cooper at 10pm beat, Showbiz Tonight at 11pm
I just remember the last big tape that Hannity was pushing. Basically a young Obama was at a protest for some professor who could be considered somewhat controversial(i guess for his stances on equals rights), and for some reason I was supposed to care
Fox News’ ACORN Fanatics Still Won’t Address GOP’s Widening “Voter Fraud” Scandal

Republicans NO LONGER registering voters in 5 swing states.

WOW, lots of people got on here first. Early Start/Starting Point dropped below 200. I know some people don’t want to hear it but those programs need to go. ashley banfield is a real drag on the program—in addition to solidad obrien. They both need to go.
Mourning Jo Scareboro…..DOWN…DOWN…Down-n-n-n-.
Kind of sad, but not really.

O’Reilly slumping? Highest rated show on cable, three books on best seller list at the same time, is debating John Stewart Sat., does sold out shows with Miller. Give my some of his slump

I wouldn’t jump around about MSNBC’s ratings till after Nov 7. While the numbers are a great improvement, I am guessing most are fair weather political watchers and will drop once the election is over.
Fox’s on the other hand seem to be basically where they normally are/very slightly better
The tape coming out is another race speech by Obama
BREAKING…
Its not going to be pretty
Hey Bishop you are right he is the current King of cable News. But he’s slumping. Second to Shep Smith he’s the only one I can stomach watching. I will be in France next month so I will be forced to watch Fox News for the 10 days I’m there to get my info….UGH!
Looks like Fertilizer Boy is typing away fast so that maybe he can grab the “A-Hole of the Day” award – yet again. The manure just upchucked out of him when he said that “O’Reilly was slipping.” ROFLMBO! No, d-bag, msdem has had a few better days later. O’Reilly’s 8pm & 11pm feeds shows 915,000 in the demo for last night. NO ONE comes close.
