Teen Nick? Degrassi?
Situation room got a little more viewers than it normally gets, probably because of the Fort Hood shooting.
Fox and Friends was unusually high. Wonder why
With the Series over the numbers for FOX are going to go up. Already that prognostication has come true, Friday’s numbers are way higher than of late. We will see some bump on this weeks numbers as well.
JC, FOX and Friends is probably higher because of the Ft. Hood Shootings. If you look at American Morning, they were a lot higher as well.
FOX NEWS rules again, the other networks can’t even see the tail lights of FOX.
You ever notice how CNN only talks about GOP and Palin ?…negative stories only of course.
Maybe thats why their numbers are down….naaa…couldn’t be that.
Palin is a babe.
Here are the numbers found from the Pew survey.
FNC: 39% Republican, 33% Democratic, 22% Independent
CNN: 18% Republican, 51% Democratic, 23% Independent
MSNBC: 18% Republican, 45% Democratic, 27% Independent
This would indicate more democrats are watching fox than MSNBCs total audience. Cant get anymore fair and balanced than that.
Lets see the libs here spin that…HOBO
Hobo, didn’t you post that on another page already?
CNN’s numbers were back to normal range friday. Lately they were at ridiculousy low standards. Good to see they were up again.
@ Bill G.
Do the cable news nets post end of year totals for the entire year?
only fox has the guts to call fort hood what it is,,,, we got hit again
Keith Dolbermann is not stupid. Has anyone noticed that 80% of his show is talking about Republicans. He knows where the action is. If he stops talking about Republicans then his viewers will drop further that they already are.
Fox news report only hate.
Guy — you are so right about Olbermann who only spews nonsense.
Lee707 — I can only categorize your post as totally rediculous!
Lee707 the fact that you said that shows that you yourself are full of hate for FOX News.
CNN better watch out the Cartoon network could have a thanksgiving cartoon marathon at the end of the month witch could make CNN’s ratings tank.
Can anyone make a Wolf Blitzer Vs. Tom and Jerry graph?
Tom and Jerry – 1,216,000 viewers (1,036,000) (180,000)
Situation Room — 718,000 viewers (217,000) (345,000)
I watch Fox news. They do not “report only hate”
If you think that, than you are listening to some hate and that isn’t Fox news haha
Lee707
give me please some examples of hate that Fox broadcasts/reports.
