mARK2,
Polls is probably not the best term. I was referring to the serveys complete to determine the above numbers (how many people are watching which network per the different categories).
For you smug a-holes making fun out of gold suppliers and reverse mortages: They are likely paying more for their spots on Fox than your Game Boy commercials on the stations YOU watch. Ratings is second to revenue.
@Mark2,
Is it a liberal thing that when you are challenge you tell people to look up the data themselves. What a special person you are!
>>> “Brian Williams has the highest ratings. O’Reilly isn’t even close. <<<
This guy rides the little yellow school bus. He has no concept of the benefits that broadcast television has over cable television. Put "Brian Willams" on MSNBC and let's see how he does. I'll betcha Sharpton kicks Williams' a#s.
@Cathy: When they say “look it up for yourself” they usually have a link to some liberal piece of crapp that makes up stories like the one yesterday about Romney getting drunk and crashing the Inauguration parties. People with brains that only operate on the opposite side of one-way streets believe that stuff. I always say. pruduce your facts with a respectable source. I am not anyone’s researcher.
Cathy @ Mark2
First I read very little of Mark2 post ,but he is correct that prisons do make huge profits off of illegal
immigrants…I worked at York co prison in Pa which is one of the largest I N S prisons east of the Mississippi river .Back in the early 2000′s York co prison made around $104.00 per day from fed’s for each I N S inmate. Now some were housed for a few days while other were there for up to two years and longer. I was there when over 150 illegal Mexicans came in working for a company out of NY ,they were deported with in weeks unlike the boat people as they were called (Chinese) some of them were housed up to 5 years..
Now I no longer work there ,I’ m in the state system and don’t know what the pay per day per inmate is. Mark2 is correct is slot of money being made by prisons
Hey Ralph–are you going to join Al Qaeda, the taliban, Al Capone, the drug cartels, Ted Nugent in supporting thw NRA’s NO background checks? Come back to us///

Hey Ralph–are supporting the latest right wing GOP strategy of trying to rig the election so that fewer votes count for more votes, in an effort to distort the electoral college vote tally?? It looks like the voter suppression strategy of the GOP backfired on them, so they are now using their lackies in Virginia, Ohio, Florida and elsewhere to distort the vote in the next election. The GOP knows that the majority of Americans disagree with with their erroneous and deleterious policies so they are intent upon cheating in an effort to advance their warped causes…… Come back to me , Ralphie—-
Ted Nugent???
That draft dodger isn’t worth my spit.
Hey right wingers–I never got an answer from you as to whether you agreed with Lian Ryan et al in their effort to eliminate Social Security, Medicare, the Federal Reserve, the EPA, the FDA, birth control, etc.. come back to me if you are not out shooting prairie dogs with automatic weapons….
Ted Nugent is idolized by the Fox Right Wing “News”……………..

@ Johnny,
“make a decision whether you agree or disagree. I find this way, even if you do not completely agree, you learn something in the process. Good Advice?”
I actually watch the O’Reilly Factor for comedy purposes, I find it to be an amusing show. Also I’m very open minded to opposite views presented with reason. The problem is that the leaders of the conservative media are the crazy conman kind of pundits such as Hannity, Beck, Savage, Limbaugh… and the politicians from the republican party are dancing on the same tune of extremism and hallucinations. No wonder why republicans are losing the public support and the best part is that they actually know it. The republican party is investing millions of dollars to change the public perception of their party, I gotta tell you it won’t happen as long as crazy extremeness lead the party both in the media and DC.
* extremists
@Cathy
Steward is on right after it. WOW again, almost half of the people that watched Southpark turned off Steward.
STEWARD? WOW…….
Sam,
Did you watch tonight? Very interesting debate on the topic of women on the front lines.

Did you see this on MSNBC…
The five worst mass killings where a firearm was used have a common thread.
They didn’t belong to the NRA, nor did they fit the stereotypical “red-neck” gun owner.
Ft Hood: Registered Democrat/Muslim.
Columbine: Too young to vote; both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals.
Virginia Tech: Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff; Registered Democrat.
Colorado Theater: Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign; Occupy Wall Street participant; progressive liberal.
Connecticut School Shooter: Registered Democrat; hated Christians.
