   I find it funny that Ratboy whines and cries when the MSNBC people come in here and praise MSNBC when they finally get ratings…but as soon as MSNBC AND CNN beat the crap out of Fox News when NEWS actually matters he HIMSELF goes into a defense spiral for Fox News. MAN this is amusing….PLEASE keep going Ratboy, this is fun to watch!

   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.

   You do realize that MSNBCs ratings actually went UP/Stayed the same, while Fox News ratings went DOWN. People LEFT Fox News to go watch MSNBC and CNN rather than your strange assertion. So really, in this situation, I guess people know where to get their news which ISN’T Fox News….that and it shows who most of Fox News watchers really are….conservative people that hate the president so much that they turn off Fox News so they don’t have to watch him AT ALL. I thought people in here said that LOTS of Democrats watch Fox News, this just proves that they kind of don’t and that Fox News IS a right winged “news” organization for the “loonie right” as Ratboy puts it.

   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….

   A total of 20.552 million viewers tuned in on 18 separate television networks to watch coverage of the second inauguration of President Obama, the Nielsen Company reported Wednesday.

   Second inaugurations are generally watched by fewer viewers, though Richard Nixon added viewers for his second in 1973, which came as the Watergate scandal was beginning to heat up.

   Mr. Obama’s second inauguration fared far better than that of his predecessor, George W. Bush, which drew only 15.536 million viewers, easily the smallest number recorded by Nielsen.

   libtards huh? How old are you? lowest-rated in history? Maybe so, but do you even have any facts or are you spewing? I actually would probably agree with you, I mean, look at how much the right HATES this president, they even went OUT of their way to turn off Fox News so they wouldn’t have to watch.

   Sorry, Laurence – GWB won both the popular and electoral votes in 2004. Fox’s ratings will return to what they were last week. Most Fox fans, Republicans and Conservatives had no reason to watch TV on Monday since there was really nothing to celebrate. And, reading BO’s speech we know that we missed nothing other than the most politically divisive inaugural speech given.

   Laurence said got the majority of the popular vote(ie more then 50%) twice, which GWB didn’t do since he lost popular vote in 2000

   There was 2,000 to 3,000 more viewers on monday night than typically. Most tuned into CNN. That is also typical. I wonder if CNN will ever become a regularly watched news network instead of just the big event network?

    You know I think these ratings are way worse for MSDNC than Fox. Fox probably anticipated rather low ratings. Nobody that normally watches Fox even went near the remote, or at least not near that channel. MSNBC ratings were no higher ( at least not sig higher). Good job to CNN. Although I think a lot of their commentators have lib bias, they do NEWS very well.

    @ratboy … You wrote, Any idiot knows that the ratings for FOX would not be very high for the inaugration of a very unpopular president…”

    MORE Americans approve of his job as president than disapprove, so he cannot be a “very unpopular president.” Then again, if you ONLY watch FOX News, you wouldn’t know that, would you?

    @Raz

    Something about Haley annoys me and screams fake(I think it’s that smile of hers), if a Republican woman goes far I rather it be Susana Martinez who seems more real then Haley

    @Ratboy

    Your first post of the day is correct.

    As a casual cable news watcher (I mostly watch the networks for news), I usually tune to CNN for continuing coverage.

    I just can’t watch MSNBC for FNC for news. There’s just too much bias.

    I know many conservatives complain that even network news is biased. And, I’m sure that’s true. I don’t think it is possible to have a totally unbiased press unless we replace every human with a robot.

    But, I think there’s a misunderstanding about the type of bias that exists in all news organizations. It’s the difference between telling lies and withholding information.

    I noticed that FNC and MSNBC ignore stories that make their particular side look bad and hype stories that make there side look good, and vice versa.

    Bad day for the righties, they were hiding in their basements stacking guns and tuna cans to prepare for their imaginary revolution against the “tyranny”.

    I could not stand to listen to a single word all day, and I didn’t care one bit about the follow-up coverage. I expect there were many like me, who saw the day as the final nail in our nation’s coffin! Instead we all went to the movies, and dinner and later watched TV crime shows. Anything to avoid this most miserable of days for our country!

    Can’t we all just get along?

    Inauguration Day:

    For whatever reason; when there is major news to report, Americans tune in to CNN. Isn’t it great that FOX came in last. FOX would have been first if there were tanks and Marines in the streets.
