Interesting how today’s sad event will reflect on ratings.
Any chart how Joy Beyhar doing comparing to whoever she replaced?
Your total-day demos seem to be off…
According to TVNewser:
Total day: FNC: 420 | CNN: 125 | MSNBC: 110 | HLN: 134
bf, no Behar chart.
Anon, there was at least one typo today (that I replaced with a ?), there very well could be more. I will put a note at the top of the demo category.
Great numbers for FOX, as usual.
Considering they were up against the World Series, I’d say…………. AMAZING!!
Fox and Friends beats everything on CNN or pmsnbc any time of the day…how do these people like Olberdouche, Maddcow, Joyless Behar–manage to keep working? Apparently the tv execs of these networks are as tone deaf as congress. America does not want what they are selling.
The networks make money off of them, Tony. These shows cost very little to produce.
I’m stunned at how much Cooper’s numbers have tanked.
Great numbers for Fox news.
I cannot watch those other shows. Those people are creepy; fawning about the ‘president’ and being hateful about anyone that does not agree with them…. reminds me of Jr. High…. which I really would like to forget. I hated Jr High.
Funny thing. All of this play acting with daily talking points form the WH… the people are not being fooled.
Pretty good numbers for BECK although he wasn’t on the show yesterday.
Mr. Beck was hospitalized with appendicitis, emergency rush to the hospital, from what I saw on various news articles.
I haven’t heard anything about Beck being hospitalized.
I am sure Olbermann and Maddow are disappointed that the Fort Hood shooter is not a white Christian conservative so they could blame Fox News for this tragedy.
Since he was a Muslim who opposed the Iraq war, can we blame Olbermann and Maddow for filling him with anti-Iraq war propaganda? For vilifying and demonizing anyone attached to this war? For stoking him with so much anti-American vile and hate to the point he exploded in violence when he found out he was being deployed?
Interesting the next few days will be, as we watch them spin this to blame the right, conservatives, Bush, Fox News and anyone else they want to destroy.
The liberal media probably will try to feed us that crap.
Great numbers for FOX, as usual. Surprised they there this high competing with the World Series. I am anxious to see if the numbers get higher now that the series is over. Will be coming here to find out!
right on tony. olgerman blamed oreilly for the abort doc murder without even knowing if the shooter ever heard of oreilly. yep, if he was right wing something, the “don’t jump to conclusions” crowd would be no where around
Fox was not competing with the world series. They were partnering with the world series. Fox broadcast the world series as well. Add it up. Fox had the viewers all around.
Androgynous Ray Maddow was already doing a story tonight about murders committed by and to soldiers. He will have more credibility when he starts doing stories on the murders in Chicago.
Will anyone on MSNBC cover the fact that Obama talked for over 2 minutes about his meetings with American Indian representatives before making his official statement about Fort Hood? He buried this national tragedy in his speech–almost as an afterthought–and even then it was rambling and his facial expressions were emotionless. Bush would have been vilified for this kind of blunder. Obama’s insensitivity is buried and swept under the rug my the media.
tony you said exactly what i was thinking at the time i had to change the channel i couldn’t stomach his lack of insensitivity our brave men and woman where murdered and the only thing on obamas mind is giving shout outs to his friends and pushing his policies it was disgusting and reprehensible for the president of the united states to show such a lack of compassion
Couldn’t help but notice these stats from CNN:
Lou Dobbs Tonight—513,000 viewers
Campbell Brown – 513,000 viewers
It’s as if everyone tuned into Dobbs fell asleep and stayed tuned in to Brown!
RE: DemonJoe, Glenn Beck hospitalized…

Several other places also have links but I recently learned that more than 1 link lands a person in the spam filter.
A search of “Glenn Beck Appendix” should find other articles (mostly brief).
Some people really come here to post the same response everyday on how Fox lead with ratings. The same slanderings on the rest of the madia and the same hopeful rhetoric that Glenn Beck will soon pass O’Reilly. It’s pathetic.
When BO came on last night so that he could hear himself ’speak to the people’ I shut off the sound immediately. We were eating dinner and I almost regurgitated the wonderful meatballs and home made macaroni and cheese that I crafted in my kitchen.
BO makes me physically ill.
DGL: you made me laugh “Ray Maddow” lol I can’t watch him either.
Julian, you need to stop coming here then. What is that saying? … If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
I know, I know, it is sickening that Fox News is doing so well, and that their viewership continues to rise at an astonishing rate. I am sure it irritates the kool-aid drinkers, I mean – the BO disciples.
Nightstar, thanks for giving me the article about Glenn Beck being hospitalized.
Oh yeah, Olbermann is full of class! NOT!
I hope Glen Beck’s appendicitis operation goes well, I have no ill will towards his physical health. But after his appendectamy I think they should admit him to a psycho ward!!!
Damn its scary reading all this BS. I was a registered right wing Rush Limbaugh Republican since Nixon and I believed in Reagans trickle down economic theory. BUT IT DID’NT WORK!
I’ve worked my a** off and should have been pretty comfortable with what I was making. But I started noticing insurance prices rising, co-pays and deductables getting crazy. Christmas bonuses dissappearing, yearly raises reduced to nothing and finally unemployment.
I finally realized who the real liars were, especially like the last administration. It was like a slap in the face, it was embarassing to be an American. These people live in a bubble, they never worked paycheck to paycheck or had a toothache and could’nt afford a dentist.
At least there’s one thing I can say for Obama. He knows how it feels to be part of real America. Even worst than most of us because of the color of his skin.
Give him a chance, I think he’s our only hope. Could you imagine 8 more years of Bush. We’d be at war with Iran by now killing people who wish they were more like us (the majority). It’s time to wake up everybody and realize that the right wingers only care about themselves and the hell with the rest of us. They’ll get richer and richer and we’ll die in emergency rooms of things that could have been prevented.
There’s nobody at FOX that wants to help the middle class, they’re happy getting tax cuts. What ever happened to “compassionit conservatism? Hell what ever happened to free wi-fi that Bush promised us. I guess the lobbbyists got to him pretty quick!

Try going to the dentist when your worried about having a place to live.
ed!diefmb, first off Reagan’s policies didn’t make insurance policies skyrocket, Reagan didn’t make deductibles go up, Reagan didn’t take away christmas bonus and Reagan’s policies certianly didn’t make unemployment go up, Clinton’s, Bush’s and now Obama’s policies have done that. And when you say these people have never lived pay check to pay check, you are insinuating that all conservatives are rich, which is sure as hell not true. We have given Obama a chance, in fact it’s been almost a year now that he’s been inaugurated and he’s sure as hell not our only hope, actually all of the main 2008 presidential candidates(McCain,Obama,Clinton,Huckabee,and Romney) sucked. The “right wingers” as you call them don’t only care about themselves, I’m sick of hearing that us conservatives are a bunch of evil selfish rich people. I live in a whole family of conservatives and we’re not making above of what you liberals define as “rich”(which isn’t exactley very hight). And that whole FOX only cares about the rich things, name one conservative on FOX that was born into a filthy rich family.
Sorry to see Lou go. Used to switch off Shepard Smith at to watch him. Only thing CNN now has going on is AC360.
Fox rocks. Its on the minute I wake up. Can’t stomach the rest who like to give us either none of the news or part of it (deliberate ommissions). Worse yet,they slant it to meet their own ideology.
At least at Fox,I don’t throw up. Go Beck, Greta and Sean
