WOW HLN beats MSNBC thats got to hurt Dr. Drew beat Maddow in 25-54 she on fire alright, crashing and burning
WOW! Hannity whips Rachel’s a*s in the 25-54 demo. That’s really gotta hurt because Sean’s been beating her by wide margins all this week.
FOX – UNDISPUTED CHAMPION OF THE CABLE COSMOS !!!!
I wouldn’t even put HLN into the mix. It’s covering a sensational murder trial with gavel to gavel coverage. “Love to cut you down, give us Dirty Laundry.”
@ ralph Hahn give you that on HLN, but Dr Drew on HLN beating Maddow in (25-54) That really hurts. Of course soon we will hear about Network news numbers beating cable news the apple to orange comparison
Looks like Bill O’s blow up at Colmes on tues gave him a little boost in his ratings last night! Not to mention that MSDNC took a bath and got smoked across the board!
But we ALL know that it dont mean jack!! You know, the network news beat everybody and Stewert and Colbert beat Hannity and Duck Dynasty had a cop and a cop car on it so it was news and beat some more FOX programs. Not to mention that it was only old people watching anyway.
I cant wait for the loons to s’plain it to us tonight so we all are much wiser!
Heads up I am fairly confident that we will need an Idiot Alert soon!
MSDNC needs to rethink their lineup. They are all getting crushed by their nemesis FOX.
right wingers–Always remember: Obama 53 million votes; Billo–2-3 million right wingers….. Four more great years!!!!!!!!! with Obama….
This just in: Obama, the CIA and FBI capture top Bil Laden associate and he’s already talking about al qaeda finances and personnel…Fox Fake News has nothing on this…….but the real news networks do………
This just in: Obama signs Violence Against Women Act with GOP moderates helping dems. Right wing Birch Society in the House is lost cause and did not participate…
This just in: Billo forced to apologize after criticism of his misbehavior with Alan Colmes….
Right on cue Ratboy
You can almost set your watch to it.
This just in GOP moderates and Obama had productive dinner last night in Washington–looks good for future budget deal. Right wing kooks were not invited………..
Key GOP senators criticize Rand Paul for sophomoric behavior in the Senate…..
This just in: Latest polls—Hillary Clinton beats all commers in 2016 election…..right wing fringe must get used to dems through 2020…….
Fox just reported Bin Laden story from CBS————
North Korea says it’s targeting US for nuke attack…..Obama says US can stop any North Korea nuclear sttack…………………..
How was he forced to apologize? He apologized at the end of the segment, at the end of the show, and the next day
The Wannabe’s at MsNBC’s numbers are LOWER-THAN-EVER, but I Digress….
Why brag about 0bamma getting reelected…Pres.BUSH got reelected twice!
Hey you can’t win ‘em all. ( Hullo.)
Big Deal….yeah,”4 more great years”? Do you know the meaning of “great”?
Millions on Food Stamps,Millions without Jobs,Millions in Poverty,etc,etc.
