@apple stinx
I wondered the same thing about suikostinger and hillbilly I even left him a song on yesterdays thread. I think soething happened to suikostinger fox news lower ratings would of been to good for him to pass up.
@ S Papa,
“Hey lefties we are hibernating. I have not turned on the news since the election. It is painful for us. All my friends on the conservative side say the same thing. It will be awhile before we get back in the game.”
Well you guys get to feel how we felt for long time. We got crushed when Gore lost and almost lost hope when Kerry lost. Obama is our comeback kid.
@Mark 2,
“Keep in mind that those Billionaire Casino owners run the Vegas Mafia, so I think it would be more like the scene from Casino where they take Pesci and his brother out to the desert. One thing is for sure, they are pissed – as is the millions of Americans who donated to the Republican Party.”
I would’t be surprised if he whacks Karl Rove. Sheldon Adelson has connections with the Chinese mafia in Macau who helped him intimidate the local government there.

HeHeHe wrote: “Republicans listen to Fox News. Democrats listen to FACTS.”
The imaginary channel FACTS, I see.
I have direct tv what channel is FACTS on?
All of the right wingers who say that the election was close, and therefore that diminishes it in someway, I have to wonder. Where were you when Al Gore WON the popular vote, but lost the electoral college?
Oh right, you only care about these things when it might benefit you personally.
Kdienkdekdkdke,rkekw,
RBS. Their people on the left that posted here had class until people like you showed up. Now 3 days after the election this, really! You’re bringing everyone down with you………………..Nothing you say is going to change my mind. With that silver tongue of yours you should be on the hill helping reach between the isle, you’re just what the country needs now.
Ninja, I’ve watched this little forum for awhile. What I said isn’t anything new what the right say in here on a daily basis, including you. Get over it.
‘Surprise’ just what I expected.
After 3 days you should be over it, don’t you think. What good does it do to rub sand in the wound. Just shows your reel feelings and it’s ugly. But I guess if it makes you feel good?
After 3 days!? Fox News is STILL trying to diminish Obamas win because it was a closer race than it was in 2008…..
So what does that have to do with anything here?
And good night.
I think the weekend will kill off some of MSNBC’s momentum. Cable news will likely look more like we’re used to seeing it. MSNBC will have a slight increase- and likewise Fox News will have a lingering slight dip effect because of recent events. Fox has upset their core audience so we really don’t know what the long term effects would be (if any).
Since advertising rates are set, each day you have a dip hurts big time so Fox News is on top of it and u had best believe they are on high alert. If the trend does continue on into nxt week they will go into crisis mode ASAP. I would get the popcorn ready if I believed the effects would last- but I don’t.
I give it a couple weeks and we will be back to pre convention like ratings.
Fox basically is already at it’s normal ratings, CNN has a slight bump and MSNBC gets the post election celebration crowd. I am guessing MSNBC will get another good week of rating(although not as high as the ones above)
I am guessing come Monday Fox will be back to normal stories as if the election was months ago and probably start heavily featuring the fiscal cliff stories
One small town is releasing ‘marijuana users’ from jail and giving them a ticket on grayhound to Denver…
If they come back they have to finish their ‘jail term’….
If they are gone for five (5) years they will wipe their record clean…
I love it…
@UpandOver
Sweet more weed users in Denver means Colorado goes from swing state to pure Blue state in 2016. lol
