I think of the song Wipeout
I was first????
Did I win a new house?
Those are amazing numbers for a cable network. I think you would have to say Fox is a phenomenon. That is up there with the network numbers.
No Steve, you win a real president.
@SP
Even Broadcast numbers were astronomical. NBC drew over 12 Million viewers, so much for being dead.
Matthew——-about 40 dozen give or take a two.

for you coffee steve
Ditto–my usual post when new numbers come up.
Just went to vote—2nd day of early voting here in TX. Huge voter turnout. I asked the poll worker if it had been this way all day. She said yes and yesterday also. Don’t know who people are so eager to vote for but looks like Texans are turning out in big numbers so far.
What Fox News did to the competition was criminal.
ALL CONQUERING FOX THE HEGEMON OF THE CABLE COSMOS !!!!!!!!
@AppleStinx “What Fox News did to the competition was criminal”
Not really, it’s the only conservative station on TV, so you’re going to get higher numbers.
Mark2——it saddens me to say this but not everybody knows that.
@Mark2
You have a floundering presence here. Those that are big Fox News viewers welcome you to keep coming back day after day after day after day…. You get the picture.
The debate on Fox News also averaged more viewers than the football game on ESPN.
I smell victory for ROMNEY!!!
How about viewership by ideology across FNC+CNN+MSNBC?
This is what it would look like if the Pew Research percentages could be applied to the debate:
(in 000)
Liberals: 4,374
Moderates: 5,334
Conservatives: 10,064
@TZCA (from the previous thread): Since I’m all burned out on typing about it, all I’ll say is that all of these systems come with their own advantages, and their own problems. It’s easy, looking at our current problems, to long for a return to the gold standard, but there’s a reason that every major economy on the face of the Earth abandoned the gold standard: instability and unpredictability. Deflation increases the propensity to save, which creates recessions, which creates unemployment, which creates even more uncertainty… so on and so on. What we have now is not perfect, it’s more stable (especially for people at the lower end) then what they were dealing with in the late 19th century.
So trivial & silly ……….
