And another bell tolls for the death of America…
Actually, given the numbers of the FNC’S news shows, America—–gets it.
LOVE IT !!! Now let’s listen to all the libs wwwwhhhhiiiiinnnneeee….
I agree wholeheartedly, Craig.
Congratulations to ‘The Factor’ and FNC’s midday programs.
You’d think that the lame stream media would get a clue and have another non partial news network (not counting opinion shows) to compete with all the liberal ones.
Pretty bad when your running behind the USA and TNT networks! Great Job FNC!
Expect the numbers to dip now that Glenn Beck is on Dish Network with the Blaze TV and he is going on AT&T U-Verse in December.
I am confident their viewership will go down when all the far righters leave the country after Obama’s reelection
Dat ain’t gonna happen.
It amazes me that all the lamestream media networks continue to prop up their left wing agenda even though it costs them a fortune. You would think that profits alone would drive them to a more fair and balanced approach. Oh well their loss…and for all their effort they still won’t get Obama reelected.
Congratulations…Mr. O”Reilly. I see that you have a few whiners posting but I think – I think they are probably Obama folks so don’t mind them Keep up the good work. You are number one and they find fault..My, my.
DaCoach. Sorry to disappoint, but we aren’t leaving the country no matter who wins. This is OUR country and darn it we will fight for it if necessary.
Good for O’Reilly and Fox News. Congratulations on their success. However, just because they have good ratings doesn’t mean they are “actual news,” let alone “Fair & Balanced.”
Question: Has Fox News ever treated anyone who’s worked for their network as badly as The Today Show (NBC) treated Ann Curry? Even Al Roker said on the air that they threw her under the bus. The ratings for The Today Show are still lower than Good Morning America (ABC).
Of course Fox News is slated to the right, but, what NBC did to Ann Curry was horrible.
Way to go Bill – Way to go, FOX!!!!
Stupidity loves company…same old BS from Idiot Americans caught in left/right paradigm.
The Five — Best show on TV!
OReilly during his debate with Stewart is much more liberal than he is on his show on Fox.
The Five SUX.
