wow good numbers for cnn and msnbc
Wow Fox News got their butts kicked!!
That’s gonna leave a mark!!
the only suprise to me is that CNN beat MSNBC so handily!! that tells me that the handfull of people that watch MSNBC are the handfull of people that watch MSNBC.
I would have expected that more of the loonie left that were interested would go to MSNBC rather than CNN.
Pretty big smack down to MSNBC since they only beat FOX by dribs and drabs.
CNN is still the place for special events it seems. The non political viewers turn their for the BIG EVENTS because that is what they have always done.
Big Ed beat Bill O- Clown?????
That’s gonna leave serious stains in their granny panties!!
It looks like the inauguration was a big boost for MSNBC in its war with FOX News, however, it seems that CNN is still the trusted News Source for all non-cable news watchers. Like on election night and after disasters, on inauguration day CNN saw the biggest spike in ratings.
Chris Matthews is on Fire!! Beat Shep!!
Fox is gonna have to book the paid gun nuts to get their ratings back PRONTO!!
A surprise that CNN beat msnbc???? Not too bright!!
CNN is typically the winner for major news events.
The big upset is Fox losing SOOOOOOO badly!
Any idiot knows that the ratings for FOX would not be very high for the inaugration of a very unpopular president. And any idiot would not make stupid comments knowing fully well that the Tuesday rating will return to the norm of FOX beating MSNBC and CNN falling bck to the dismal ratings they have been having.
That being said if not an idiot then what?
CNN can definitely bank on these events, once every 4 years.
Not too bright?? Hillary came through for me……..
I Didn’t Select Rice, Wasn’t Consulted… I KNOW NOTHING!!!!
SecState: I never saw requests for more security… I SEEE NOTHING!!!
Just as I predicted!
Does this mean the neo-con right wing extremist in here will disappear again for weeks like after the PAINFUL election, because they can’t swallow that America has gone left-center, and that thought causes them to run and cling to their bibles and guns and Sean Hannity dolls.
4 ratturd,
Only an idiot gets upset over a one day Cable News rating.
I’m just enjoying throwing a lil salt on your wounds because you are still such a douchebag.
>>> Any idiot knows that the ratings for FOX would not be very high for the inaugration of a very unpopular president. <<<
YEAH. What Ratboy said. But, see above, not EVERY idiot knows.
Hey dare Ralphie Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t expect FOX to gain much viewers for the inauguration but I am surprised they actually lost viewers seeing them complain about everything wrong with Obama’s Inauguration. MSNBC seems to get a slight bump while CNN looks to be the most trusted news network of the 3 for non regular cable news viewers.
The real question is, HOW MANY OF YOU, OTHER THAN THE LIBTARDS ACTUALLY WATCHED THAT INAUGURATION GARBAGE??? The Ratings for this Inauguration are about the lowest-rated in history….
President Obama is so UNPOPULAR that he got a majority of the actul votes twice, something the appointed President who preceded him never got and Bill Clinton failed to achieve also. A number of Democratic-party Senatorial candidates won also and more votes were cast for Democrats running for House seats than for Republicans. The “Dow Jones Industrial Average” is now twice what it was when ‘W’ escaped Washington, DC in a helicopter, and a better benchmark for market performance, the S&M, I mean S&P 500 is at or near an all-time high. People who still have 401Ks tied to the stock market are pleased for the most part. I recently heard an interview with a woman who had to pull some of her 401K money to get by in 2008, but now her portfolio has regained all she lost in those days.
Totally expected this. I watch FOX and definitely had the TV off all day. Got the low-down on the The Five and just as expected wanted to puke and turned it off.
And anybody watching CNN got to see Roker almost poop his pants again when the pres walked by. Saw that on a highlight.
Or NBC rather apologies.
