Preliminary reports on death of Hugo Chavez. This is probably a plus for Venezuela.
Well I see Rachel got SMOKED by the lame, almost out of a job Hannity!
Larry O got smacked down by Greta. and Fast Eddie is so low he cant lick Bill O’s shoes!! And if you add BOTH of Tingles shows together they dont add up to The Five’s numbers!
Yep FOX is just about out of it!!! Time to close the doors!!! Pack it in cuz no one is watchin!!!!
The Huffy is gloating over the ‘fall of Fox’. Problem is, they are trying to bury something that is alive, well and kicking everyone elses butt.
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those too dumb to teach, become media ombudsmen for the alphabet media
A miniseries based on the most popular book of all time scored the kind of ratings that may make Hollywood executives reassess concerns over Christian-themed content.
The Bible, produced by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, scored 13.1 million viewers and 4.6 million adults 25-54 during last night’s premiere. The 10-hour miniseries became the new year’s no.1 cable entertainment telecast.
The news bodes well not just for The History Channel but for other faith-based projects in the Hollywood pipeline.
O’Reilly got 1-million-plus 35 – 64. 25 – 54 was half-a-mill. The rest of the cohort may be about tha age of the College of Cardinals (I know; 80-and-over are excluded, just like women). The Feds just raided the purveyors of motorized wheelchairs for the elderly. Does Fox have any other advertisers to fill the gap. (Certainly not The Gap).
O’Reilly’s repeat show (11 p.m.) had ratings which beat all of the primary shows for MSNBC and CNN. That says a great about the quality of the other programs. This is part of the post-election pattern we have been predicting, i.e., MSNBC had a post-election bounce, Fox viewers were depressed, and now, Fox has solidified their lead among cable shows. This will continue. Meanwhile, ESPN had made it pretty clear they don’t want to touch Olbermann. Can you blame them? He’s a ‘firing’ waiting to repeat itself. Ironically, the biggest mistake Olberman made was leaving ESPN in the first place.
Looks to me like the YOUNG and impressible….are leaving MSNBC in droves. Sharpton, Fat Eddy and tingles Chrissy can’t even get into the 200′s. Rachel barely gets there….
Maybe the young people in America are finally realizing the demoKKKrat party is just not all it was “cracked up” to be. And cracked up is definitely what they are.
I have an appointment then I have to stop and pick up a muffin tin and eggs for Applestinx so if someone could put out the Idiot Alert when the Dung Beetle attack begins I would appreciate it!
Are you guys telling me that Fox lost in all demos?
Sorry just having a moment of rubbing it in their faces.
@LG – and Fox’s programs were still Number 1 in your coveted 25-54 demo group. So, your point is . . .?
Did “The Bible” on History show the 42 youths torn limb from limb by bears who were summoned by “God” because they mocked a “prophet” for being bald? Did the telecast include scenes of Joshua pillaging the properties of denizens of the country Joshua was enjoined to capture from the people living theyre, literalyl taking grain they didn’t harvest and and making their homes in dwellings they didn’t build? Was there any mention of Gideon, after whom the Bibles found in hotel rooms was named, who sired seventy children or mmore under multitudinous women?
Fox News was busted for lifting story from Politico…go figure.
In other news, Fox & Friends failed once again in doing basic math.
Just google ‘fox & friends math’ to see the hilarious video.
Having had to battle cancer myself, I do not wish that disease upon anyone. However, Venezuela and the world are a better places without Chavez.

Did the history channel tell about the human shields used by the Demo President on the Lusitania and the rest of the ships that killed civilians . This Demo president used human shields to ship arms to make his friends rich.

Is that why Obama does not believe in Jesus

Is this true?
Yes, Fox News is still No. 1 in cable news (the minor leagues). However, this will give you guys an idea of how far Fox News has fallen from just 2 years ago.
