It is hilarious when I click over to Olberdork and Rocky Madcow during Fox commercials, at how arrogant they still act while getting their asses kicked in the ratings by Oreilly and Hannity. They and the brass at MSLSD are too stupid to realize that putting on liberal drones who agree with them makes for boring TV. I guess they figure that reading teleprompters is safer than mixing it up with conservatives. Wish Fox would move Beck into Sheps spot. He would probably get Oreilly numbers.

LOL hey left! Why are you here, i mean the sky is falling from global warming.

Maybe theyll bury themselves's in there idiological hum cranked out in al gore's basement after watching pmsnbc reruns after twinky day at the fair. Good things happen there.

save the u.s. stop hate attacks you dem-wits

"You give no URL or any proof that FOX news viewers are in last place in knowledge of the news."

This is presumably a reference to the 2007 "What Americans Know" study. http://tinyurl.com/ybv724z

Neither Rick R nor db seems particularly close to the mark.

Rick R, a conservative is someone who believes in fiscal responsibility and believes that old values should be kept around meaning they're socially conservative.

Also, I haven't seen you really give any facts about FOX news's "lies". You could be right or you could be pulling these statistics out from no where, I have no way to know who's right.You give no URL or any proof that FOX news viewers are in last place in knowledge of the news.

I love this shit, please elaborate your ideal as to what a Conservative is. None of you Fox News idiots know what a conservative is, you have no clue. And then please show anything I have said that indicates I am not a conservative. I stated FACTS, this is another word you Fox News viewers do not understand. You think that because Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly said something that it was fact-checked beforehand. Neither of those assholes are conservative or fact checkers. They make shit up and spout off the Propaganda that the Neocon scum handed to them. You are being lied to but you love that lie so much that you cannot accept facts to the contrary.

@ fox fan

So you’re saying you have brains but can’t form an actual sentence?

Joe, grow up!

Ken, reat posts.



and Boris among others, I think it must have been past your bedtime. Do you know how juvenile you sound?

Rick R.....you are a conservative???, yeah, why do I severely doubt that.

I am shocked that CNN is coming in thrid....If someone doesn't agree or like fox...thats fine. But to watch MSNBC over CNN? Really? MSNBC is the single most irrelevant channel on all of cable. I wouldn't even consider putting that white house propoganda machine on my screen. CNN may be left leaning and doesn't report all the news (or biased in one direction) but it is head and shoulders above MSNBC.

Rick R is making up his argument that surveys show that Fox News watchers are uninformed. Pew Research did such a study and Fox News viewers were way ahead on all topics. By the way, another study says more democrats believe in ghosts than independents and Repubs. Rickie, try using facts instead of just spewing what you wish were true.

Rick R, personal attacks? is that your best argument against Diogenes? Also what survey did you find that information at? It wouldn't surprise me to hear that MSNBC has the most viewers that believe that Bush had anything to do with 9/11.

Diogenes, you are playing the game that Fox News set up for you. Is it fun? because it's not fun watching fellow Americans go to Teabagger parties and ramble incoherently about shit they know nothing about but continue to spout off the propaganda they heard on Fox News.
The facts are in on Fox News viewers, in EVERY SURVEY they are dead last in actual knowledge of the News and they are first in being misinformed. They are complete blithering idiots just like you. I am a conservative, you do not know what that means because you watch Fox News and that makes you a blithering idiot.

Liberals always pretend to be so much smarter than conservative, cherry-picking facts that attempt to show you are smarter.

Lets just look at the scoreboard. Every liberal state runs deep deficits and is deeply bankrupt. California, Michigan, etc. If you were to have a universal standard of intelligence, then that standard would be based on the only universal language: mathematics.

Any intelligent life judging the human race based on liberals would put us barely below apes. Even an ape knows how to add and subtract simple numbers. For all your supposed intelligence, the fact that most of you can't run a balanced budget reveals a fundamental level of ignorance that undermines any argument you make.

I love these Fox News viewers that brag about their intelligence. In every survey ever conducted it shows clearly that Fox News viewers are the most misinformed News Watchers. Most Fox News viewers claiming to watch 2 hours a day of Fox News think that Iraq had Nuclear Weapons, Saddam Hussein attacked us on 9/11, Barack Obama was Born in Kenya and that he created, founded and promoted ACORN to destroy Christian Values. Fox News viewers are the same ones that turn off the Wrestling Show on Spike and turn to Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly for some more intelligent reports from Randy Savage and Chief Wahoo Mcdaniel. It's a joke. Fox News simply is a sideshow act of screaming maniacs and you people love it because you want to believe it because you agree with it. You get more reliable information from a raving homeless man in the subway. Actual conservatives do not watch Fox News and they are disgusted by the content. You drunk halfwits that enjoy it have got to understand that it's no more real than your wrestling. Unfortunately, you'll never believe that either.

Anyway, feel free to play again, but only after 500 mics of Sandoz and a perhaps a cursory study of the compiled wisdom of Bubba Free John. Or both together, it's unlikely to matter.

Boris,

Public schools are complete shit, thats why I went to a private school. Public roads are mostly constructed by the state and local governments. Same with water. You seem very fond of government and everyone doing something for you. I never said I was against our government, I'm just against any welfare entitlements, thats why I didn't mention those things. I see its too difficult mentally for you to know the difference between the two. I'm not against helping the nation as a whole, I'm just against individual welfare entitlements. Unless you pay into it, but only if you get out what you pay into it.

Haha you keep showing your ignorance. MSLSD, if you cannot figure out the satire then you're just a flat out moron. Like I said I'm not going to spell out things for you just because you're mentally incapable.

The summer of '42, wow, you're pretty old and obviously starting to take its tole of you. Not sure what the summer of '42 has anything to do with this, considering I wan't born until 49 years later. I played Cape League baseball in Boston this past summer, so I'm used to moron liberals like you showing off "intelligence".

In what way did the word hysterical get you to think of the female reproductive system? You really need to look up words before you try to make sense of something.

I wouldn't be calling me kid considering I'm mentally and psychically stronger than you.

So I looked up Baylor university and found out that if you go to that school of course you watch Fox News, also not sure how going to that school negates being a moron.

The three things conservatives are good at.

1. Blaming other people for their mistakes
2. Insulting liberals
3. Being Brainwashed.

Ken says:

"First off, I know what I said so you don’t have to copy and past what I said then respond."

Yah. See, the thing is that other people are also reading the comments. That's why Cardinal Hosius invented quoting, to identify context.

"Unless you have really terrible short term memory, which I wouldn’t doubt. Its funny reading your statement, you're such a moron you could't even state anything about Fox News."

NEITHER COULD YOU, QUIZ KID. The piercing analysis of yours that I responded to identified your school, extracurricular activities, GPA, and (thus) apparently relevant fondness for Fox News. You then proceeded with amateur group and individual psychoanalysis and concluded that it is the grand success in the game of life so deservedly enjoyed by Fox News aficionados that causes them to object to "free healthcare, bailouts, welfare, or any other entitlement programs." (You forgot to complain about public roads and schools, water fluoridation, and the forced Socialist eradication of polio, but I'm sure you'll rectify that omission in the future.)

That's not "stating anything about Fox News," it's a senselessly roundabout way of asserting, like such other timeless nuggets of wisdom as "yum, yum," that you consider yourself virtuous. Naturally, since you like Fox News, it is Good. By extension, your fellow travelers are good, not because of their opinions, but by virtue of their imagined similarity to yourself.

"Oh and MSLSD is a mock of MSNBC. Sorry that went over your head."

It's not a "mock" of MSNBC unless you can actually explain what you think the semantic payload of the letter substitution is.

"If you don’t know what hysterical means I feel sorry for you, I really do thats just sad. And thats not along the lines of calling someone a pussy."

Are you sure? You certainly used "hysterical" in its most hegemonically perjorative sense, viz., likening those with whom you disagree to some portion of the female reproductive tract, drawing a further random conclusion, and calling it a Good Day's Work.

"I'm not going to spell everything out for you just because you cannot understand what you read. You asked nothing but questions, are things that hard for you to understand?"

Kid, as I implied, the only thing you're "spelling out" is a poorly drawn and entirely gratuitous map of your psyche. However, this isn't the summer of '42, you're not Herman Raucher, and I'm most certainly not Neil Klugman.

Boris,

You made no sense in anything you stated. First off, I know what I said so you don't have to copy and past what I said then respond. Unless you have really terrible short term memory, which I wouldn't doubt. Its funny reading your statement, you're such a moron you could't even state anything about Fox News.

Oh and MSLSD is a mock of MSNBC. Sorry that went over your head.

Indeed I do go to Baylor, you don't have to second guess that just to make yourself feed better about the fact you're probably going no where in life.

If you don't know what hysterical means I feel sorry for you, I really do thats just sad. And thats not along the lines of calling someone a pussy. I'm not going to spell everything out for you just because you cannot understand what you read. You asked nothing but questions, are things that hard for you to understand?

I'm not Catholic, and no ghosts are not real. But Fox News dominance is real.

If someone is going to respond to me, please have an intellect and state either why I'm wrong or what you think. Don't ask 18 different questions.

I love you guys.... everything you believe is wrong, everything I believe is right, but I am extremely objective and can always have a fair debate....classic.

It's hilarious reading these posts from these cry baby Liberals. Your stations are getting their asses kicked by FOX and how do you react? 1- they aren't a real news outlet, and 2- the people who watch it are red neck retards. So why do you care then?? You all seem so threatened by FOX and it's viewers... if not... why are you even checking the ratings on this site? Your answer to any threat is text book Alinsky tactic... What's the matter?? are you guys scared that the 65% of the population who consider themselves Conservative have awoken to the Liberal lies and are answering back? Guess you better get used to it, Obama is down to 45% approval and your Congress is down to 22% approval. I don't think us dumb assed retarded rednecks make up 55% of the population...do we?? LOL

"The idea of having the first African American president was reason enough to vote for him. I don’t regret anything at all."
So you only voted in 2008 because he could he could be the first black president. So no matter how bad he does the fact he is the first black president is all that will matter? That is one of the most stupid things heard before. I don't care that he's black(actually half-black). Also what's your reason for saying we're going to be A-OK? Because he is the first black president that automatically means he's going to be good?
It's stupid to vote for someone based on their race.

Despite years of indoctrination in our educational systems, it's encouraging to see Americans begin to shed the lies and ignorance to become more self-educated, self-made, and willing to independently determine the truth through analysis and debate. Ahh, "debate", remember that word? Both sides, pros/cons--the very thing we do not get from other networks. The majority of Americans are getting smarter and smarter; but we'll always have truth deniers who depend more on feelings to determine what's right/wrong.

I'm a far-left democrat. I proudly voted for both Kerry in 04' and Obama in 08'. The idea of having the first African American president was reason enough to vote for him. I don't regret anything at all.

We're all going to be A-OK!

"Really all of Fox News viewers are morons? I attend college at Baylor university. I play football and baseball while maintaining a 3.5 GPA and I love Fox News.

"Since you're on the IQ question, and I'm sure you're aware the higher the IQ number the more intelligent you are, right? Well since Fox News numbers are higher than MSLSD. Wouldn’t that make Fox's IQ higher?"

Are you sure that you're being provided with the highest-quality head protection in your chosen sports? Do you actually have a field of study, or do you just "attend" Baylor? (What's with this Beckwith business, anyway?) Whence the "MSLSD" lingo? Have you ever taken LSD? If so, how much? If not, why? What do you think might happen if you did? Socialism? Do you think Socialism might "happen"? Do you ever worry that everyone around you knows what you're worried about better than you do? Why should an appeal to populism make "Fox's IQ higher"? Does the popular opinion that ghosts "exist" thus carry weight? If so, what is their nature? In particular, is the approach of the Roman Catholic church regarding ghosts correct or incorrect?

"The fact that you cannot have a discussion with a group you disagree with is hysterical and shows lack of education."

What is the "group" that you identify or "agree" with? Do you mean something particular by "hysterical," or is it a generic insult along the lines of calling someone a "pussy"? Where, exactly, is the part where your alleged non-lack of education comes into this slough of pudding words, anyway?

Chris,

I do agree with almost all of what you said. But there is no comparison from Fox during the Bush years to MSLSD and the Messiah years. Although Fox didn't pursue Bushes mistakes as heavily as they do the Messiah. However they did report them. MSLSD will never report a mistake the Messiah makes, and will do everything in their power to downplay them.

Furthermore, Climate gate is a big story and there needs to be more reporting and investigating into the global warming, or the climate change thing, or whatever they will call their fraud next. ACORN receives millions in tax payer money, and the fact that any organization like that would abuse it needs to be reported.

Finally, Fox is as fair and balance as its going to get. MSLSD isn't news its all commentary. I watch them when I can and Its all dedicated to the Messiah. They don't even pretend to be objective. Andrea Mitchell, Norah O'Donald, Contessa Brewer, and others might as well be commentators because they have a funny way of always throwing in their two cents. CNN is much of the same without the hate message. I stopped watching PBS when I was 5 so I have no clue what goes on there. I don't think it was fair calling all "wing nuts" crazy, I'm a right winger and I'm as objective as they come. I can have a discussion with any liberal, as long as they don't act like a Keith Overbite, or SCREWBALL.

I should have said, 'there are awful, cancerous groups'... I miss an edit button.

I hope every single one of you wing-nuts, of either side, realize you're crazy.

My primary news choices. Special Report on Fox (mostly the first 40 hard-news minutes, the last-20 commentary is interesting but largely irrelevant), and Jim Lehrer on PBS. I'd give CNN a break, but their people are awful, top to bottom, they've got the most boring staff on TV. I have nothing against the network, but watching them is like the Weather Chanel during the mid 80s. Poor chemistry, hard to hold your interest.

The fundamental problem with 24/7 broadcast news is that they have to hold your interest. In the same time I can waste an hour with CNN, I can log into the WSJ and catch up on everything meaningful during the day. I don't care about Tiger Woods, neighborhood murders, or whatever. CNN seems to have a real problem with interest. MSNBC, sheesh, they are a tool of the left. Pretty much the exact same as Fox was during the Bush years. Typically the best news is going to come from a dissenting voice. During the Bush years that was the NYT, now that's going to be Fox and the WSJ.

Any rational adult should be able to filter opinion from news, regardless the source. The only caveat is when the source deliberately skips a topic. I think Fox is overdoing climategate, but everyone else needs to spend some thoughtful time on the subject. Glen Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity. Those are opinion guys. I don't watch opinion guys unless they happen to be interviewing a personal hero of mine like Lance Armstrong, etc. The whole ACORN thing was blown out of proportion. I think the group has huge problems, but their are awful, cancerous groups on both sides of the spectrum.

And for everyone knocking people's intelligence. It really makes me sick. People are allowed to disagree with you, and it says nothing about their aptitude. If you don't believe that, you're the one with the problem, not them. Give it a rest and be civil.

Liberals cry about everything and blame everyone else for everything. The ratings are accurate you can't cry about that!

I always think it is funny that CNN is thrown in there with the left. CNN is sensationalist fluff. I find it as unwatchable as Fox not for it obvious bias but for it's lack of meaningful content. Wolf Blitzer is a corporate stooge!

Those that rant about the left bias in the major news outlets just sound insane. While there is a consistency between the editorial content and those that went to college and got jounalism degrees, to think there is a concerted or coordinated effort to "shape" the news to a political ideaology would gave to be nutty right-wingers. Because anyone involved in the left knows that those people could not agree on mustard vs. ketchup on a dog much less put together a Bond Villian type nationwide media plan.

When you get a beer or two into the "the news is a left wing tool" set you usually find that what they really hate us anyone that made it past the 8th grade....

Ken
Why are you putting me in with JK. I named the two News show that I watch on Fox that are not commentary. Then I asked RandyAW to name News shows on MSNBC and CNN which there are none.

JK, can you please cite where you got your FOX lied about climate gate at? You a "Real Conservative"? I never relized that all it takes to be a conservative is to hate FOX news. Then in that case all it must take to be a liberal is to hate MSNBC.

the loonies have came out in full force now. My favorite of the night is the one that claimed to have a 130 IQ and then immediately started blathering over the non-story Climate-gate where Fox News has been taking things out of context to try to say that scientists have been hiding data on climate change. Fox news is not news and I am a Real Conservative and like all real conservatives we are disgusted by the drivel at Fox News, it's nothing but the WWE of news that only blithering idiots watch because they think politics is a game and it makes them seem smarter to play it.

No surprise here. On MSNBC and CNN you hear the news after it has been screened and "purified" by the left-wing thought police. In the last year, Fox covered at least a dozen major stories that the rest of media ignored for weeks -- because they were not flattering to the party in power. So of course, anyone who isn't brain dead will choose Fox against these other networks who are -- let's be honest -- an embarrassment by any reasonable standards of journalism.

In baseball, speed never has a bad day. In cable news, rage never has a bad day.

Consider this, If Walter Cronkite was in his prime, he could not get a job as a reporter much less an editor on any major network.

Guy,and JK
All morons listen up,

Here is a list of all Fox News shows that are NOT commentary.

Americans News Room
Happening Now
The Live Desk
Studio B
Special Report
Fox Report
All of the weekends during the day, except for re-runs.

JK

Really all of Fox News viewers are morons? I attend college at Baylor university. I play football and baseball while maintaining a 3.5 GPA and I love Fox News. It's good for nothing people like yourself that come into message boards just to try to insult people. That shows you have major insecurity issues. The fact that you cannot have a discussion with a group you disagree with is hysterical and shows lack of education. I'm willing to bet you probably watch and listen to liberal outlets religiously which shows you don't have anything else going for you in life. Most people that watch Fox News are successful, thats why they don't want free healthcare, bailouts, welfare, or any other entitlement programs. Now why does MSLSD push so hard for entitlements? Because GE begs for them from Obama and so does people like yourself.

Since you're on the IQ question, and I'm sure you're aware the higher the IQ number the more intelligent you are, right? Well since Fox News numbers are higher than MSLSD. Wouldn't that make Fox's IQ higher?

JK is just another liberal blogger who still lives in their parents basement and has no real future in sight.

Lmao I C the left wing nuts are in full act. Wonder if it has something to do with the falling approval of their obama, are maybe congress. hmmmm not sure but one things for for sure 2010 will be when we (RED NECKS) as you say put the congress out on there rear. stay tune for more updates.

save the u.s. stop hate attacks you hear me dems

RandyAW
If you don't answer, we will think that your IQ is even lower than your statements imply.

@ fox fan

So you're saying you have brains but can't form an actual sentence?

Only Beck at 5pmEST, O'Reilly at 8pmEST and Hannity at 9pmEST are so-called 'commentaries'. I'm from Pittsburgh,PA inner-city, FAR from any right-wing place. I finally watched FNC like a year ago and was like WOW the Dems are spinning bullshit about. Also the black caucus keeps feedin into this BS, so all of the "pop culture" says FUCK FNC which is just BLIND HATRED! Watch it yourself and see for yourself.

To RandyAW
Fox has at least two news programs. Julie Banderas and Shepard Smith. The rest are commentary shows. Which of the MSNBC or CNN programs are news and not commentary. dee dee dee tum dee dum. I'm waiting. Hmmm, Just as I thought.

To RandyAW,
Are you still trying to find some facts? You can stop looking because you will not find any.

Dolbermann and Madcow actually work for Fox News. There are payed by Fox to "just be your hateful self" on MSNBC so Foxes viewers will continue to climb.

the difference between a conservative and liberals are brains if you actually have brains their is no way in hell you could possibly be a liberal liberal ideas make sense when your in kindergarten the world should be a wonderful place where everyone is nice rainbows and lollipops we should take care of those who don't have money and then you wake up then you grow up then you realize those kinds of things are unrealistic fact not everyone in the world are not nice most people are poor because they choose to be poor theirs no excuse in the land of opportunity that should be unsuccessful

The Democrappen are not "Liberals", thay don't know the Meaning of
the Word, they are poor "Socialist", have long abandoned the fiscal
responsible Politic of a liberal President John F. Kennedy, not even
his Brother Edward [Ted].

Liberals claim to be so much smarter than conservatives, explicitly claiming to be smarter than Fox News viewers. This is tvbytheNUMBERS. Let's look at the numbers shall we? 2/3's of the viewership. Almost all of the growth. More importanty lets look at how these news organizations dealt with political fact.

But this is a site about numbers so lets look at the numbers:

Fox News kept Florida as a tossup while the other networks called Florida for Gore in 2000. Both networks had the EXACT same poll numbers. Fox News was right.

Fox News called Ohio for Bush when his margin of voters in Ohio in 2004 was too great to call while every other network kept Ohio as a tossup. FOX News was right.

Fox News was among the first to call Ohio for Obama in 2008 as well.

This is stuff that's not realy subjective at all. Based on typical turnout models and the percentage of precincts that voted, any objective person would've made the same call that Fox News did with regards to polling numbers. This is a clear and disturbing trend in how the "mainstream" networks and left-leaning cable networks present news. It is all manipulated. Still now, we have completely unrealistic polls with 38% Democratic/22% Republican sub-samples lauding Obama's policies (while In reality the number was around 38/32 the last election and will likely revert to the norm of 36/33 the next election).

These media blowhards have stopped reporting the news and ignore conservatives at their own peril. We're suppose to be stupid but yet somehow we can add and subtract and liberals can't.

"To RandyAW – well, my IQ is north of 130"

Golly! When was it tested? By what method? How'd you do on the GRE?

"The most recent example is the under-reporting on 'Climategate'. Have you seen any examples of investigative reporting from CNN, MSNBC, HLN on this topic? Yet Fox is airing a special this weekend to discuss both sides of the story, and have done many segments on the topic already."

Both sides of what story? AGW? This is like discussing "both sides" of evolution. Hint: Fox News is not competent to analyze climate science. Of course, that's not the object, is it?

FOX RULES.
Deal with it......or Die.

Typical Liberal Alinsky-based tactics. When you need to gain popularity and the people won't follow your radical policies and beliefs, you denigrate and vilify - just like the left is doing to Tea Party crowds and anyone not in lock step with there socialist tendencies. Sad.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.
Seek Help.
Treatment is available.
The sooner you are treated,the sooner you will begin to Heal.
Good Luck.

To RandyAW - well, my IQ is north of 130 and I can see (as should anyone who is paying attention) that most of the media is under-reporting some of the news while Fox is far more balanced. Does Fox have a slant, sure. But, they are clearly more balanced than most. ACORN, Van Jones, etc. ring a bell to you?

The most recent example is the under-reporting on "Climategate". Have you seen any examples of investigative reporting from CNN, MSNBC, HLN on this topic? Yet Fox is airing a special this weekend to discuss both sides of the story, and have done many segments on the topic already.

Please, Randy, post for us the examples, the facts, that you have that make your point. I'd particularly like to see examples where CNN, MNBC, and HLN (or for that matter NBC, CBS, ABC) are asking tough questions of the administration. About health care reform, about global warming, about ACORN, ...

well done !!

Kermonk, do you know all or most of the millions of people who watch FOX news? It's not logical to assume that all the viewers of FOX base their views on fear or ignorance. I don't assume that all of the viewers of MSNBC are anti-american or socialists just because that's the way I think some of their commentators are.

"It seems when they don’t attack Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity, they attack the viewers of FOX news, usually by calling them nut jobs or idiots."

Its not attacking, its just stating a fact.

"It’s really kind of funny now to watch them lash out irrationally."

Its not irrational, its a logical reaction to a huge and growing mass of ignorance who base all their views on fear and lack of knowledge. The kind of ignorance who start wars, and in the long run is a threat to civilized society.

To JK: if an IQ of over 70 is the cure, you'll never qualify.

Im neither Liberal or conservative and unless your IQ rivals a toast you would never claim that Fox is REAL news.

JK, you just proved me right about what I was saying in my one post. You guys call us dumb which ends the debate and turns it into some contest of "Who says the most insulting things?".

Equating ratings with quality is specious. Unless one considers "American Idol" quality viewing. Ever seen what garbage tops the music charts? The top grossing concerts? Fiction? NonFiction? Please stop making the claim. Your embarrassing yourselves. That being said, Thanks for the laughs. Fox News is the funniest thing on TV these days especially those three that play morning anchors on the new hit comedy "Fox and Friends."

And then the Fox news viewers weight in to prove everything we've said about them to be true. Fox news is not a news network. ANY local TV station shows more news in a day than Fox News. Fox news even admits that only 4 hours a day of their programming is actual news, everything else is a sideshow act that there to attract the dumbest of the dumb to guffaw at the pretty lights and the insane ramblings of their ringmasters. Fox news viewers are the disease, an IQ over 70 is the cure.

Liberals take notice, people are seeing past your brainwashing tactics on the biased channels and actually getting REAL NEWS with Fox NEWS.

Liberals trash Fox news, for one reason only. Because they don't like people that aren't brainwashed like them. They only like those who can repeat the typical liberal excuse that has been drilled into their heads from the cradle to the grave.

Liberals, stop drinking the kool-aid and join us normal people.

Liberalism is a DISEASE and we Americans must do what we can to stop the disease from spreading.

Oh here's another one

"Fear Mongering, Tabloid journalism, and an American Flag waving in the corner of a TV are powerful tools. The ratings prove it!"

JC, I caught the Glenn Beck interview on Jay Leno too.

On a side note, I noticed FOX has gone up by a significant margin from 2008 to 2009. I also noticed that some of the liberals on this website aren't very happy about that.
They say things like:

"right wingers are addicted to TV."

"Obama is the best thing that could have ever happened to FOX. The wackos and crazies are scared shitless and they need the comfort of Fox news more than ever. This is why Rupert likes Obama. This would all be fine if Obama actually had some progressive balls… if he does have… he hasn’t shown them yet."

"This is very disturbing news, and a scary indicator of the direction of our country’s intelligence level."

"Fox News gets ratings for the same reason that Monday Night Raw gets ratings. Fox News is just the WWE in political form. The slackjaw idiots enjoy a show and then go repeat it like Captain Insano really did hit Bobby Bob Gaither in the head with a tire iron."

It seems when they don't attack Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity, they attack the viewers of FOX news, usually by calling them nut jobs or idiots. It's really kind of funny now to watch them lash out irrationally.

Fear Mongering, Tabloid journalism, and an American Flag waving in the corner of a TV are powerful tools. The ratings prove it!

Interesting way of presenting the ratings. I wonder when the networks will pick up on circle graphs to cover for overall losses of viewers and demos.

lock the door on the way out K.O. Lover. HAHAHA

When you compare just the three juggernauts Fox, CNN, and MSNBC - Fox gets nearly 65% of the viewership. Now thats power.

Also, did anyone catch Glenn Beck on the Jay Leno show? That was fantastic.

It seems that news that attracts viewers needs to entertain and validate the viewer's point of view. FOX News is certainly meeting that need.

... then these same major news-channels would see Fox's impressive growth in viewership as well.

Kieth Olbermann (sp?) has a segment called the "worse person in the world" and delivers a constant sarcastic rant against conservatism. O'Reilly calls people pinheads which is at least somewhat comical. Maddow is a poor deliverer whose sense of humor falls flat. One can only imagine she was hired because she is a lesbian that can relate to the liberal cul-de-sac on the costs. Liberals shouldn't cry because conservatives beat them at their own game. All's fair in love and war and especially politics.

These networks do badly because they reflect the ivory tower, liberal leanings of their managing editors. But not only that they are inherently as dishonest as Fox is made out to be. Just look at the numbers, CNN/MSNBC along with the failing papers constantly overreported Obama's numbers up until election day by a 5% margin or more. The "conservative" pundits on these networks are really conservative at all but at best center-right elitists who ignore the huge swath of Americans who hold libertarian leanings.

Why would Americans tune into CNN or MSNBC for news? They can get the same thing from any of the major networks pushing a left-leaning view. Maybe if most tv networks did a better job of relating to Americans who everyday have to balance their pocketbooks and see the government grossly living beyond its means spending for programs that they themselves will never see any benefit from (but those that have a lobbyist in Washington will).

Edward, I'm neither a "wacko" nor a "crazy", but I am scared - scared of the systematic dismantling of the values that made this country great by those who, either intentionally or through ignorance, are engaging in mindless hedonism and progressive destruction. What you're seeing is that fear throughout the country transform into anger at this self-absorbed orgy of liberalism. The tables will turn. Bet on it.

You can help raise that level by leaving the country.

Fox News gets ratings for the same reason that Monday Night Raw gets ratings. Fox News is just the WWE in political form. The slackjaw idiots enjoy a show and then go repeat it like Captain Insano really did hit Bobby Bob Gaither in the head with a tire iron.

This is very disturbing news, and a scary indicator of the direction of our country's intelligence level.

Obama is the best thing that could have ever happened to FOX. The wackos and crazies are scared shitless and they need the comfort of Fox news more than ever. This is why Rupert likes Obama. :D This would all be fine if Obama actually had some progressive balls... if he does have... he hasn't shown them yet.

CNN is still running their "we're #1" promos.

right wingers are addicted to TV.

A recent poll shows those choosing to identify as very or somewhat conservative at 63% while the number of those identifying as very or somewhat liberal represent 33%. Moderates registered something like 1%.

You look at the graph above for 2009 and combine CNN/MSNBC you get a little above that 33% number. It is therefore no surprise FNC's ratings since they are closer to Conservative views. If you go by the poll their ratings actually should be much higher. The lower number here is likely due to them being more moderate and not Conservative enough. If CNN and MSNBC did not have such completely incompetent management they would recognize this. It will be their loss to a 4th competitor if they continue to fail to recognize this.

What I will be interested to see is if this maintains in the off-year elections in 2010, when there will likely be plenty of interest because of the various "what if" scenarios already in play regarding the Congress and its current membership. Will Fox continue to grow or will CNN or MSNBC make some gains? Chances are this will be an above-average year in terms of interest and events with the retirements from the Congress, climate change/global warming push, health care overhaul attempt, and the continued economic problems.
