I hope President Obama puts the screws on Fox Noise ASAP.
That should be his first priority. Then he can get things done without their critics spewing lies.
pink bear you have to be the biggest idiot i have ever seen.I dont watch fnc regularly im a cnn guy but ive seen them and they are pretty fair and balanced.And if you think your msnbc station with mathews olbermann and maddow back to back to back is fair then you got issues.
ps-by the way do you have a life all you do is go on here and blast fox news get out of your parents house and do something
Ruben ….. if you enjoyed the last 8 years of the Bush praising by Faux Noise you truly are a lover of pain and misery. Just dont expect everyone else to find that FAIR or BALANCED.
Fox Noise = KKK
PapaBear…the reason you got Flunked is this:

“Total views in case drop by 50% while Olbermann and Maddow continue to hold pre election audience.”
I have shown you over and over again there is no 50% drop in FOX’s numbers.
I pointed out that the previous URL you supplied showed Fox way ahead.
Now here is another you supply to back up your argument. I looked at them and none of them support what you said.
This one for instance that you supplied shows MSNBC going down and Fox going up:

Here are the numbers:
25-54 Prime Time
FNC –752,000 viewers Cable News Ratings for Thursday, September 25, 2008
FNC –788,000 viewers Cable News Ratings for Thursday, November 6, 2008
In comparing a Thursday from one of the pre-election links that PBGF’d supplied
and referenced.
With the First Thursday after the election Fox Gained 36,000 viewers
25-54 Prime Time
MSNBC –651,000 viewers Cable News Ratings for Thursday, November 6, 2008
MSNBC – 657,000 viewers Cable News Ratings for Thursday, September 25, 2008
In comparing a Thursday from one of the pre-election links that PBGF’d supplied
and referenced.
With the First Thursday after the election MSNBC lost 6,000 viewers
Then you write: November 11th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Can’t read simple statistics!! Faux is down 50% and MSNBC is continuing its 15-40% growth rate even after elections. If you can’t see that just be a statistic by joining a herd you profess to love!
PapaBear at least I know the difference between Dung and Beef.
cattleman, apparently lots of text+1 URL will also be enough to trigger the comment spam filter.
And just to give everyone an idea of the magnitude of the actual spam that gets stopped, since we’ve begun the site it we have received nearly as many spam comments as we have actual comments. But they’re from machines!
Mr. Gorman,
Sorry for the multiple listings can you delete 2 of them?
I thought my browser was just srewing up…
Those three are all the same.
Thks,
We are talking about Billo the Clown’s rating Vs Olbermann’s and Hannity the Monkey’s Vs Maddow.
And you can certainly say Papa Bear got flunked or any other bad term cuz if you were smarter you’d know Billo the Clown is called Papa Bear mockingly by Colbert. HAHAHA …. ignorant Rethugs!!!
please turn the comments back on, there is nothing to do now!
