For the first time on a long time, Hannity finally got ahead of Glenn Beck.
Fox News. Waking up several Americans at a time.
Thanks BHO voters. It is a tough battle against the sheeple
HLN beat MSNBC in all primetime slots (A25-54), including Nancy Grace over Olbermann and Behar over Maddow. Isn’t that odd?
Not odd at all. Grace beats Olberdouche more often then he would like. And she is always within striking distance.
Maddcow can’t even break a million anymore most nights which is sad given his cushy 9:00 primetime slot.
How’s that Obama propaganda tool thing working out for ya?
FOX’s ratings are getting higher and higher. I knew they would start go9ing up once the series is over. I bet Wednesday’s numbers were threw the roof with Sarah Palin on Hannity!
I totally find it hilarious that MSNBC has #1 in Cable written all over their homepage. Thats as accurate as thier all day Whitehouse agenda. Do they even wonder why they suck? You don’t latch your entire business onto a sinking ship and wonder why nobody likes you. Puzzling…..
Nancy Grace beating Olberman, lol
Go Nancy!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing!!!! From Glenn Beck on, all Fox shows have a higher audience than all other networks COMBINED!!!!!! Could it be that Americans really are not identifying with liberal Democrats and their spokemen???
Oh, God I don’t know how anyone could watch Joy Behar. Who are those 200,000? No remote maybe? I’m thrilled Nancy Grace is beating Obermann.
Deb asked: “Oh, God I don’t know how anyone could watch Joy Behar. Who are those 200,000?…”
Those are people still staring at their screens after being scared senseless watching the Divine Miss M on Joy Behar’s first show. You see, they thought they were one and the same.
