Beck = 3 million
KO with alittle bit of a bump!
Anybody know how close Glenn has came to O’Reilly in the past when he had some of his big days?
Yawn
Behar is an embarassing disappointment– it is hard to do worse than Madcow, but she managed it. Guess America isn’t ready for another loud mouthed liberal loser…
What were the ratings for the premiere episode of Joy’s show?
JayS, click the link in the post to see the last 2 weeks of cable news ratings.
Hannity’s hurting. Even Greta passed him that night.
I guess it’s reasonable, he’s way too far right to properly inform us with the truth and the facts.
Mean while Josh, Maddow is showing a guy get humped by a bird and faux laughing her ass off over it. Ground breaking TV!
Earlier she was reporting on some NBA team trying to switch players at the free throw line! WOW! Those are earth shaking stories this country wants to know about!!
Wow, I just noticed that Hannity was bumped tonight for some show hosted by Megyn Kelly called “The Truth About ACORN”. Interesting…
“KO with alittle bit of a bump!”
Yes, maybe a bump from a catastrophe to a total disaster.
Good grief man, put down the Kool-Aid and look inside the numbers! This week, this month, this year, years and years and years back, it’s a blood bath.
You Olbermann minions are quite delusional.
Hannity keeps REPEATING himself. He asks the same questions over and over. He is like a broken record. Beck needs to take Hannity’s spot
Fredrick, obviously your new to these comments? lol I am no KO minion. I would normally take great offense, but I’ll let it slide this time
Can you not see my avatar? lol
Anxious to see if Acorn special hosted by Megyn Kelly last night held the 9:00 viewers, we were glued to the television!
I am not new, most people I see using that avatar do so in mockery, and your comments, like that above, are usually veiled as “compliments” in the back hand. If I am incorrect about any of that, you may take as much offense as you wish.
I agree with KB…Haniity better get Colmes back or someone thats Dem who is just as flamboyant as Haniity.
I would like to see Hannity totaly re structure his format. I think he is in a rut and trying to rush too much. His prime time guest are boring
in many cases. I truly believe there is a point of over exposure utilizing the same rhetoric needs some redressing….
I think Hannity does need a tune up. Then he can triple the creep Larry King rather than a double.
fox is king of the airways, and Glen Beck is striking fear in the administration. He frames his arguments better than anyone out there.
“Joy Behar now a distant fourth.” Soon a distant memory?
I feel sorry for her. It’s like when some lady is praised for her home cooking and then opens a restaurant.
I’d be interested in seeing a documentary called “The Truth about Why Fox News is so determined to Tear Apart Acorn.” I guess that title is too long

Or maybe a documentary called, “Why Obamma wants to destroy America, and How ACORN is Helping Him”. I’d watch that.
