At this rate, The O’reilly Factor wil be being in the 4 millions on a regular basis.
Bill? Any idea what Don Imus’ ratings were averaging in the a.m. on MSNBC? Not only for comparison to Morning Joe but to contrast with his impending ratings on Fox Business. Thanks.
gbd, we’ve got no historical Imus data sorry.
Really bad night for Olbermann and Maddow. They seem to be faltering in the ratings and are really getting clobbered by their Fox competition.
Take a look @ CNN its a disaster
i’m surprised o’reilly didn’t get as big a bump as hannity when interviewing palin maybe he should’ve dedicated one entire night to the interview maybe he might of 5 million and take hannitys spot in the cable top 25
O’Beck & O’reilly continue to vaporize those purveyors of failed left wing ideals.
Obviously the brass at MSNBC, CNN, NBC & CBS are unaware of “Counter Programming” like Production values, attractive presenters and programming designed to attract a large viewership.
I’m convinced FOX is paying the brass at the mainstream media to take a dive. (no offense to Maddow, Anderson Cooper & that girly man Olberman.
Monday night Football seems to hurt everyone except FOX NEWS, I keep saying, nobody will watch Oberdork or Madcow because they trash American and 80% of the American people will not watch that. Do you ever see FOX NEWS trashing America?
CNN’s ratings were pathetic ..MSNBC surpassed them for the first time in total day viewers and prime time viewers ..the departure of lou dobbs played a major factor in the deeper decline of the networks viewers ..str8 robot news is gonna hurt CNN permanatly
any way to get EYEBROWS off of Sunday Night Football—that guy is very strange
another night of under a mil for olby and maddow. getting to be a habit. i’d love to listen in on a meeting of msnbc execs. haven’t they ever heard of the saying that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result?
Rachel is in free fall. Olbermann is not far behind. Looks like they have lost more than half of their viewers during the last 12 months.
Maybe if they tried looking at issues instead of relying on rants and ridicule they might regain some of their audience. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. Both of these ideologues will inevitably be pulled off the air, but probably not until they have lost a couple hundred thousand more viewers.
markd… Are you hidding from me? You called me pathetic and said the best I had against Ronald Reagan was the ketchup issue.
Again I will ask for you view so all can hear it.
1986..When asked about the Iran Contra issue(the USA selling arms to Iran while Reagan was President) Ronald Reagans continued reply under oath was “I can’t remember, I can’t remember, I can’t remember”. Can you give us your views on this issue.
This is the third and last time I’ll ask. Perhaps you read it on the other two occasions and “can’t remember”.
Bill,
Is Guy’s post appropriate for this board?
I wonder if Tattletail Marcus and Markd are the same person. Marcus sounds like he would be a great guest for Dolbermann.
This make my point. All you right wingers do all day is watch Foxs news all day. While in your trailer, smoking Marlboro, waiting for the mailman to drop off government welfare check. We Left Wingers have college or careers to go to each and every morning. We won the White House, and you won the cable news ratings HaHaHa….It’s funny, how many Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Gays and college age White kids do you have in the GOP???…The GOP is a dying party of gumpy old White men. As each day goes by the DNC is getting bigger and the GOP is getting smaller. HaHaha
Jack… It is obvious by your choice of name that you are very mature. lol
Jack,
1. “The GOP is a dying party of gumpy old White men”
2. “As each day goes by the DNC is getting bigger”
1. that’s not true! what about John McCain! Ok your right both parties have become smaller and a 3rd party may become a real threat.
2. Nope, as I said both parties are growing smaller.
3. (Not listed above) your name, the blind way you talk, I can’t think you’re a lefty.
Wonder when the STRANGE STREAM MEDIA are going to start reporting on GLOBEL WARNING GATE? All those doctored e-mail,s. Which are going to cost the American people Trillions.People like Jack has a RUDE awaking
He is whats wrong with America right now.Truth is known This Dude is Prob. on public assistants right now.
Jack or should I call you by your real name Mr. Olberman? Obviously that must be your favorite past time not your name. You make the libtards proud!
To be fair, TRMS has had guest hosts the past few days. Howard Dean is guest host, and he is hard to watch as he reads the prompter.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show#34140212
guy,,, noticed your post,,,i must admit pathetic is a strong word. it’s just that i don’t like peoples entire life/career being judged by isolated incidents and not the whole show. show you how fair i am,,,,dukakis in the helmut was overblown
Beck and OReilly have guest hosts semi-regularly and they don’t tank like Olberdouche or Maddcow.
Lame stream media won’t touch Climategate till they are forced and then will still side with the conspirators, liars, frauds and crooks. In fact, I am sure Obama has them on hold till he and his administration and Al Gore can come up with another scheme to cover up this travesty.
pssssst…….MSLSD…………wise up, nobody is buying your garbage. Made up polls, mindless babbling of democrat talking points, and constant Palin-Bush bashing is not what most of America wants to listen to.
don’t insult lsd
Glen Beck has helped O’Reilley’s numbers get even higher.
Jack,
YOU SAY:
“This make my point. All you right wingers do all day is watch Foxs news all day.”
Hate to let you in on this because its better that the far left doesnt know. More Democrats and Independants watch Fox than do Republicans.
YOU SAY:
“While in your trailer, smoking Marlboro, waiting for the mailman to drop off government welfare check. We Left Wingers have college or careers to go to each and every morning.”
OK, if you say so, keep saying things like that PLEASE!
YOU SAY:
“We won the White House, and you won the cable news ratings HaHaHa….It’s funny, how many Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Gays and college age White kids do you have in the GOP???…”
Yes you won the white house because Obama sold himself as a moderate and you took congress with a bunch of conservative dems. I think you better look at the statistics of Asians and Latinos and there are quite a few of them who are Republicans! Look it up!
YOU SAY:
“The GOP is a dying party of gumpy old White men. As each day goes by the DNC is getting bigger and the GOP is getting smaller. HaHaha”
Umm, hmmm, I do believe that the Republican party is growing right now and the Democratic party is shrinking and in fact just a few weeks ago surpassed the Dems! Look it up!
Here is a good place to start:
“Republican candidates have extended their lead over Democrats to seven points, their biggest lead since early September, in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot”(notice the polls on the right side of the page:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/generic_congressional_ballot
And you might remember that according to the battleground pollshows that 60% of the country is conservative and 9% is far left.
But keep thinking the way you do, its statements just like that that keep Maddow and Olberman at the bottom and we know who is at the top!
@russc
biggovernment reports that CNN, HLN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and NBC have not reported on the climate change emails a single time since breaking on Friday. By contrast, FNC reported on climategate at least 4 times on monday.
So basically, if you watch anything but Fox, you probably don’t know about it yet.
And just to show more hypocricy, ABC is doing a special tomorrow on “how dire the climate is” and “how it may be to late for humanity to do anything”.
Oh, and you can bet that when they are forced to report the emails, they’ll go after the hackers.
Does anyone know if there is freud between Hannity and O’reilly? They don’t got on each others shows, there just seem to be something between these two.
Let Fox have a special with Palin Dobbs Hannity and O’Riley together.
That would blow the roof off,,,make ratings history.
Go Fox ,,,,Go Rush,,,tell them the truth……………..
Jack MeOff, what are you 8? And what’s with that stupid name?
It’s funny, how many Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Gays and college age White kids do you have in the GOP???…
Well our chairman is black, and the main reason we don’t have all the races is because you guys like to rewrite history, and encourage minorities to reliy on your racist affirmative action, you lefties like to indoctrinate minorities and college kids, and the GOP is completley made up of ass kissers and immature idiots like you who can only say spiteful hateful things. Too bad you don’t to make an intelligent comment.
oh and real original with that trailer joke too. GROW UP!
“and the GOP is completley made up of ass kissers…”
Sorry, that was a typo, I meant to say ISN’T.
Where is PMSNBC on the Global Warming email hacking? It is obvious that they downplay any news story that doesn’t fit their political agenda. No wonder people don’t watch them. And the White House says Fox is not a news station. What a joke. Fox is no doubt slanted to the right but at least they are not afraid to present news that does not support their view. It is obvious that the Global warming-Al Gore crowd has made a conclusion and paid off scientists to fit that conclusion.
By the way, I think all the Palin interviews were weak. She is firing up the Republicans but I don’t think she is a serious candidate for president. I hope she sticks to books and speach making to help get Obama defeated in 2012.
Rachel Madcow is in a death spiral. I guess the angry butch lesbian routine is wearing thin even among lefties. Keith Olbergoof isnt doing much better.
Did anyone see Bill O’Reilly and the terrorist lawyer Scott Fenstermaker?
Yes, Jfan, I saw it, twice. I am without words. I am actually surprised O’Reilly didn’t throw him out the window. But I have to say, this ass-clown of a lawyer kept his cool. O’Reilly really tried to push his buttons. Bill O made his point, but I think he wanted this guy to wig out, and this guy just kept saying the same, Colmes-esque response.
BTW, greetings. I’ve been reading here for awhile, but have finally taken the plunge. I’m not a big entertainment TV guy, but soak up the news.
And Bill, nice job on the site.
I really thought Bill was gonna choke-slam that scumbag attorney through the table.
You know I’ve noticed something on these treads. Whenever people criticise someone on one of other networks(Joy Behar recently) some liberal just bashes Bill O’reilly or Glenn Beck without even defending the person that’s being bashed. I mean every day on this website people make fun of Kieth Olbermann and Racheal Maddow and the liberals just respond by attacking FOX news. That’s probably because they have no defense for Kieth Olbermann or Racheal Maddow(or any other liberal on the other networks).
I thought Bill was going to pull Fenstermaker worng side out.
Only Olbermann could make fun of Palin because she visited Billy Graham. He is the lowest of the low.
db, I saw that too, how about O’Reilly send Jesse Waters after Olbermann, that would be great
Did you see where ABC is going to do a OBAMA & OPRAH WINFREY Christmas special? Are they trying to cram that dude up our throats or what? It is getting out of control.
Most of the Fox News heavyweights are not Republicans, they’re Libertarians and Independants. The Republican Party is a complete joke at this point.
MSNBC’s best
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MaJLbJDuAc
Jfan, that was a funny video, I think I saw some foam coming out of Kieth Olbermann’s mouth.
Jfan, that was great! Describing himself maybe? He has to be the biggest jerk ever on TV on any station. What an egomaniac!
Olbermann: “pissy, jevinile, rabid?” Perfect description of himself.
Opps! JUVENILE is the word.
@Scott,
Instead of relying on a conservative pollster to determine info on conservatives lets look at a more traditional middle of the road poll such as GALLUP. You’ve heard of them right?….”The parties were also evenly matched on basic party identification in 2001 (which does not take into account the partisan leanings of independents), with 32% identifying themselves as Republicans, 33% as Democrats, and 34% as independents. The 2009 data show the GOP losing five points since then, with identification increasing three points among both Democrats and independents”. As was shown earlier, the GOP’s loss in leaned support over this time is evident among nearly every subgroup. The losses are substantial among college graduates, which have shown a decline in GOP support of 10 points. (The losses are even greater — 13 points — among the subset of college graduates with postgraduate educations.) You guy’s in the GOP better open up that tent pretty soon because your way behind now and your right wing is burying you with purity tests…Most Dem and Independent support is coming from a demographic that doesn’t spend much time in front of network TV. They have lives and careers and prefer a DVD to a talk show…Don’t mistake Fox ratings for conservative dominance you guy’s already made that mistake and as someone said in an earlier post…Repeating mistakes expecting different results is insane right? Source: http://www.gallup.com/poll/118528/gop-losses-span-nearly-demographic-groups.aspx
high and I can see in
Get off the ratings kick of fox news pulling 3 million a night out of a country of 300 million it just means that people need to find out how to get to the other people not watching roughly 295 million or there getting there news via phones or Internet . ratings are just like record sales anymore. The Internet is killing all business of properly coming up with scores and tallies
how can CNN possibly be making any money?
