CNN big winner. No surprise.
MSNBC in a tail-spin. OUCH! That’s gotta hurt!!!
The 2nd amendment 1791:
Americans shall bear arms to face tyranny , AKA the British
The 2nd amendment 2012:
Americans shall bear arms to face tyranny, AKA the zombie apocylpce
Of course we need guns , those British been invading us since the Beatles , and now Piers Morgan … Actually we need more guns… Every American should have the right to own Bazookas .
Well we know who people don’t turn to when watching breaking news events
FOX News. Most watched on Friday. Total audience. REgardless of age, more people trust FNC for this type of coverage.
MSNBC IS FULL OF FOOLS
AND LIERS
Ralph,don’t act so stupid.Just think, the crazies at FOX will be blaming this whole tragedy on President Obama in a few days.
I think the NRA and FOX should both be named terrorist organizations.They both try and undermine our Republic.
Remember the lies about the election?
CNN always does well when people want facts.
Whats really funny about watching these numbers is it’s like
Fox has the same right wing wac jobs watch everyday. But CNN
actually presents news which only works when special news events
occur. Canada does not even carry Fake News.Just the same wac jobs
watch everyday
No surprise here.
CNN wins both Demos for Total Day and Primetime.
Even MSNBC cable viewers tune in to CNN when Breaking News happens.
But things will be back to normal this week.
This is the normal pattern whenever there is a major news story.
CNN = Gets huge numbers in relation to there normal viewing pattern. They have the name recognition and get the casual viewers interested in the big story.
FoxNews = Some increase, usually stays even with or ahead of the CNN spike.
MSNBC = It has been shown time and time again that few trust them with big stories. They come close to actually losing viewers. . .except for there hard core.
Early Start/Starting Point 186—pitiful numbers–
Wow!!! MSNBC took a beating. People don’t trust them with news, which I don’t blame them. CNN did fabulously. FNC did wonderfully as well.
BevAg–still looking to move? Oklahoma–not one county voted for obama–
@Bev
That’s only because of the Shootings…where you living under a rock on Friday or did you not hear about that, lol.
Breaking News:
Fox News just aired Polls that showed Americans want Stricter Gun Control.
I’m very surprised they actually aired that.
I guess what Murdoch wants, Murdoch gets.
I love Fox News, and I’m not a right wing nut job. I’m a fiscal conservative.
California has a Democrat super majority!! This is so great. We’re watching all these Democrat tax-the-rich-and-everyone-else-and-spend-a-lot solutions just ruin the great state of California. California is sitting on the fiscal cliff and we’re now spiraling.
One of the State Democrat Senators wants to now, on top of EVERYTHING else, increase our DMV car registration fees. We already have the highest car registration fees in the nation.
Yeah, you guys can say anything you want about Republicans, but the Democrats are taxing and spending California to non-existence. I always thought it was going to be the major earthquake that would take us down. It’s turning out it’s the Democrats who are taking us down.
Letmethink:
Yes, I saw that. We’re looking at OK. Right now our choices are OK, TN and Texas. OK has some very nice land. It’s very flat, though. But you can get a lot of land, like 40 acres with a house for about $200,000.
And I love the fact that not ONE county voted for Obama. That tells you they’re smart, independent people. They’re not people that need government to take care of them. Those are the people I like to be around.
@BevAg–look at Tulsa–beautiful
Mark, obviously you were under your rock on Friday because I was here on this board on Friday talking about the shootings.
@BevAg-Those are the people I like to be around.
Me too–if Texas goes Blue we will be moving also!!
When is the president going to say something about the union preacher threatening to follow the children of the governor of Michigan
