Another night, another loss by Hannity & Greta.
Wow, O’Donnell swept Greta in the 25-54 demo for the second time this year. First time for a whole week.
Since this is Thanksgiving week I wonder how the ratings will hold. It may be a very slow news week overall.
Looks like Hannity and Greta were only beat in one demo, not three like Thursday night. Will be interesting to see what happens next week.
Holy florkenscmitt !!!!!
What’s up with Greg Gutffeld? Good numbers in B.O’s time slot!!

Rep. Allen West loses more ground in Florida recount drama
Rep. Allen West, who is fighting to retain his Florida congressional seat, may regret his demand for a fuller vote recount after the results found him even farther behind his opponent.
West has refused to concede the race for Florida’s 18th district, even though voting results have shown Democrat Patrick Murphy, 29, with a small but steady lead.
Last week, Murphy attended orientation on Capitol Hill for newly elected freshmen. He told the Palm Beach Post he is also looking for a Washington apartment.
West, meanwhile, insisted on a full recount of all eight days worth of early voting ballots in St. Lucie County, when mistakes were found in a partial recount.
But that plan backfired when Murphy gained 274 more votes over the fiery Tea Party Republican.
But because the recount results were not submitted before a noon deadline on Sunday, the previous results – showing Murphy ahead by a smaller margin – are likely to be certified instead.
Their contest for Florida’s 18th Congressional District was the most expensive House race in the U.S., according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. West’s campaign raised more than $17 million – more than four times the $4 million that Murphy took in. Super PACs added another $6.6 million to spending on the race.
Another beating by Rachel and the crew
Hannity’s drop in viewership is almost entirely in the 25-54 demo. I don’t think it was his die-hard fans. I think it may have been the “leans” folks who may now see him as discredited. Same goes goes Greta. I think they both lost the moderates. We’ll see if it holds.
MSNBC is still performing strong. They’ve picked up a lot of viewers in the 25-54 demo. I’m curious to see what happens after a “grand bargain” is reached, especially if it results in a hiring boom.
CNN is doing a little better (compared to earlier this year). Their best assets are Ashleigh Banfield (charismatic) and Erin Burnett (as fair as cable news hosts are gonna get).
FNC still averaging more than 2 million viewers each hour from 5-10pm; on a Friday!
@Hillbilly: in case you missed the headline, this one should be up your alley:

Are the number for CNBC and HLN at 9 PM correct? Looks a little strange that the numbers are the same.
Wow! The Five is taking a dive!!

Yep, that’s strange, and an error. Not sure what happened, we’ll get it fixed soon. The HLN numbers are right but left to right CNBC was 158K, 80K and 90K.
It has been fixed. My bad!
Looks like Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan are dragging down CNN.Erin Burnett’s numbers are holding up at about 14 15% of the audience.
Hannity’s and Gretta’s numbers are still weak but O’Rielly’s numbers are e recovering.
O’Donnel still has about 30% of the audience but everybody else is in the mid 20s and apear to be comtinuing their drift down to the mid and lower 20s where they were several months ago.
It appears the HLN had a good night between 8 and 11. That’s something different.
Gee, if I were Sean Hannity, I’d rather have 890,000 more total viewers than Maddow, than 80,000 more 25/34′s.
I mean more 25-54′s.

So I guess Lawrence will be on friday nights now at 10 instead of Lock Up Raw.. he is doing great.. MSNBC still doing great 2 weeks after the election.. Nice
msnbc still adding more programs to their lineup, despite the chatter from the delusional right wing babble in here. Fox News still struggling across the board for their misleading election coverage and beyond.
