Bad mutha you truly are silly.

I went through this whole thing with smitty before he left and changed his name.

I did and still do some advertising. The truth is at its height of popularity during shock and awe, Fox news enjoyed the number one spot with about 2 million viewers in this nation.


Now 2 million people is hardly representative of what the nation is watching. Truth be told people really aren't interested in the news in this country. All the other news channels combined barely double what Fox news gets in viewers. So we have slightly over 4 million people who reguarly make it a habit to watch entire news programs in this nation. That hardly speaks well for a nation of 300 million people .

As a advertising exec. I put my people in during the morning weather and sports. Besides that time frame news is not a good investment in the advertising dollar. Unless some major war or event is unfolding and by then its normally too late to buy the spot.

So badmutha while your so proud of your Fox news you should know that all news viewer ship is down. In fact Fox has fell to just about a million regular viewers at the moment. I am sure if Bush attacks Iran or starts another war that number will jump back up to over 2 million quickly again as war mongers just love to hear about death and destruction on their favorite Fox News.

TV Ratings: Nielsen ratings, TV listings, TV shows, cable TV, satellite TV, TV schedules on Zap2it

Fresh from Nielsen ratings.

Here's something you won't hear on Fox News -- ratings for the cable news channel have been plummeting since before the November election.

According to TV Newser, the number of people watching Fox during prime time in the 25 to 54 age bracket dropped in April for the sixth straight month.



Other cable stations' ratings were also down since the election, but CNN's, for example, appeared to have stabilized last month while Fox's continued to drop.

What the press release didn't say is that we can add 629,000 people to those who don't watch Fox. That works out to just over 89,857 people for each of the seven News Hounds who are watching Fox so those people don't have to.

Now that we've added another Hound, we should be able to take care of the remaining 445,000 in even less than six months.

Fox's plunging ratings should be a warning to those cable stations trying to copy the news channel's conservative Republican slant. People are tired of it. Try something different, like a progressive television show, for a change.

Rob,

Thats the problem, getting un-biased news. Unfortunatley, the News today as with all other mediums other than the internet have a biased slant. Where today do you find information without an agenda?

As I read the diatribes aimed at Fox news, I can't help but chuckle to myself after remembering the failed lawsuit against Fox for using the phrase "Fair and Balanced" on the grounds that it misrepresented what Fox news was.....I guess they were wrong.

We're just trying to save you stupid people and this nation from yourselves.

Clearly Bush has almost bankrupted the nation in 7 and 1/2 years.

Yet Fox news and people like you still sing his praises and are about to elect a Bush want to be in MCCain.

Its called tough love. Nothing tolerant about it now. You people are responsible for voting into office the worst president in American history . We can't be tolerant of your idiocy anymore. If we do we may not have a country left to tolerate you people in.


Sorry Honey, you haven't a clue. There aren't many "singing" the praises of Bush any more. You simply have the same circular loop running in your head as all, no, not ALL, sorry Brains and pj...but MOST Lefty's do. You now have reduced yourslf to the same status of Lasher, FedUp, and SMAC, literally small people overwhelmed with hatred....and you don't have much of a handle on Scripture either.

Yes, MSNBC is fair and balanced. The problem is, no one watches them anymore.

Ummmmn..I suggest you look at the ratings for the early moring shows, and Oberman vs O'Reilly

Not as one sided as you think

Especially when you consider the fact that Fox is the only bullshit stand on the block, and everyone seeking Buillshit, is their captive audence

Bottom line...it is the network of choice for dunderheahds,,and the fact that they gear their content for dunderheads, is proof

Good, then there is no need for the "Fairness Doctrine".

Olberman? You are calling people that watch FOX dumb, and people who watch Olberman intelligent? His show has the integrity of Professional Wrestling.

Honestly, I have always watched all 3 cable networks (CNN, FOX, MSNBC). Fox leans right, while the other 2 lean left. However, quit watching MSNBC all together about 3 months ago. Even though FOX and CNN lean their respective ways, they give the other side. MSNBC has totally dropped any attempt at accurate journalism.

Well..I guiess I would have to disagree with you on that

MSNBC has by FAR the best, most notable, and most balanced staff, (From Herald Ford Jr to Pat Buchannon) as well by FAR the widest and moswt balanced array of guest commentators and guests. "Morning Joe" has both Gopers and dems as regular guests, and the host is a Republican

Oberman is satire and comedy, with news as a backdrop and compared to (CUT HIS MIC...CUT HIS MIC !!!) O'reilly, is a journalistic gem of integrity
I am also pretty sure Keith doesnt sexually harrass the help

As I said, I am just trying to save you stupid people from yourselves. Amazing that any fool would still be defending Bush. The man has been a disaster for this economy and his buddies Clinton, daddy Bush , Reagan and Ford were his stepping stones to allow him to go as far as he has to destroy this economy.

Geez I was just a spring chicken straight out of college with a accounting degree when I first voted for Reagan. Did so because the pastor at my church did the same thing you sheep fell for hook, line and sinker with Bush. Pastor said got to vote Reagan because he is against abortion.

Well, yeah, and so I did. But it didn't take too long , being a business minded soul like I am before I realized Reagans economic policies were going to spell economic disaster for this nation.

Eventually because I had a smart pastor he wised up and realized all those hot button topics the Republicans parade out like abortion, gun control, and gays are just that talking points they know they have no intention of ever doing anything about. But it sure does work great with mindless sheep like you amazed. You people will buy any old lie if they keep saying gays, abortion and gun control to you.

See, that works great because while your ranting and raving on about things that will never happen they can sell the country right out from under you. Take the bread right out of your mouth and your too stupid to see that happening.

And since you brought up scripture O'Sheep called amazed. Let me point out to you that the bible says mankind will just become more and more sinful till the Lords return. Like in the days of Noe will the world be at Christs return. It says governments will be as yokes upon the peoples necks but God will not listen to their cries because the people are getting what they asked for. And it says that if God doesn't send Christ back when he does all flesh on earth would be destroyed.

So while your buying all this crap about a right wing moral majority in this country perhaps amazed you should pick up the bible and read it, because you don't have a clue what your talking about. The United states is not a moral nation that seeks God. We are far from it. And the most immoral man I can think of on the current political scene is Bush.

I feel sorry for that man when he stands before the Lord with the blood of the innocent people he has killed dripping from his hands. I do pity him. Because perhaps a bigger sin than the murders he has committed is the fact he caused so many silly people like you amazed to cheer his sin on which makes you guilty too.
