   The triumphalism of MSNBC supporters is amusing. Fox News continues to have more viewers than CNN + MSNBC. About the demo — Maddow did not even make the top 50 for the night on cable. She tied “King of Queens” reruns on TV Land. Tell me when MSNBC begins running ProActiv commercials

   But conservatives are pissed at Fox News for its election coverage. Karl Rove, Scott Rasmussen and Dick Morris made it sound like a cakewalk. Instead it was 2004 with Obama as Bush and Romney as Kerry.

   Can’t we all just get along?

   Rachel beat Hannity in key demo. Hannity lovers have had enough.

   Bobbyv I do not hate Fox News, it has become one of the greatest instruments for the Obama 2012 reelection. So I am somewhat grateful for their misleading stories and filling their audience with a strong sense of victory in this past election that it made the defeat so much more painful.

   BULL$hit!

   Bush won reelection on Ohio alone with about a 140,000 vote difference over Kerry.

   Obama had a FAR FAR FAR more decisive victory over the Romney and the GOP. Obama won ALL the key swing states. Romney didn’t even obtain the vote count John McCain and Silly Sarah Palin did in 2008.

   Jeff, as I have said before if they mislead they should be called on it, same as everyone else. But don’t you all on the Left see the irony in criticizing the media for bias? It is like the Yankees criticizing another team for having a high payroll (and I am a Yankee fan).

   @Betty & Bobby

   Fox News lost a lot of credibility after the election results came in on Tuesday. That’s why the gap has been closed by MSNBC. That’s why Rachel Maddow is even beating O’Reilly in the Demo. I’m not saying that it’s going to last but the gap has definitely been closed.

   Mark2,

   I agree and found it annoying to hear people like Dick Morris and Krauthammer say the Republicans are going to win easily. Krauthammer gets a pass but Morris seems to be wrong all the time and always in the Republicans’ favor. I watch Bill O and don’t remember him saying it was going to be anything but close.

   “There must be a high number of 65-and-over viewers…”

   I wondered about that, too. I’ve been looking around for current comprehensive stats with respect to the age of CNN, FNC, and MSNBC viewers. No luck. Any suggestions?

   FYI…I’m 28. And, I watch CNN. MSNBC and FNC are a bit too partisan for me, with the exception of Shepard Smith and Rachel Maddow.

   I agree…2012 was a lot like 2004. Bush swift-boated Kerry. Obama swift-boated (or Bained) Romney.

   I got Deja Vu.

    @Ralph

    Primetime 25-54 (000s)
    FNC 399
    CNN 184
    MSNBC 416
    CNBC 116
    FBN 9
    HLN 88

    NO. MSNBC won 9-11pm. That’s all. The evenings are individual programs, not a three-hour block of one singular program.

    Those are the only numbers that matter. MSNBC won, do you know your numbers?

    Don’t forget that Karl Rove, Eric Bolling, Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Brit Hume, Newt Gingrich, and the rest of the hacks at Fox News predicted a landslide vidtory for Romney.

    Didn’t I already tell you to go away. You’re out of your league.

    And the rest of them, as you say. Lucky if you can find two.

    John McCain is starting to remind of Clint Eastwood talking to a chair.

    Mark2,

    I cannot dispute, though Hume and Dobbs and even Newt to a lesser extent would surprise me. He is a partisan but does not seem incapable of seeing the truth. Did Maddow, Lawrence, Sharpton, et al all call for a Dem victory? I know they turned out to be right but I have a feeling they would call it for the D’s regardless, same as Hannity and Morris for the R’s.

    I do when they point out how wrong the republicans are, which is like 90% of it’s coverage. lol

    A little to bias at times for my tastes when it’s pro democrats though
