Is bill o'lielly the most watched journalist in the world?

or in the US?

Anyone know how I find this out?

Thanks.

I am having an argument with a freeper. He claims o'lielly has more viewers than any other journalist IN THE WORLD. I know I read a couple years ago that some lady in China actually has more viewers than any other journalist. But I tried searching and couldn't find anything. Where can I get stats on this? Anyone know?

The most viewed journalist in the world just has to be some Chinese anchorman.

If it is the former, then possibly. If you refer to the latter, no effin way.

He's a talking head with a show... he's hardly a journalist.

I am going to win this argument but the freeper will want links.

He's a writer, a commentator, a talking head and a public speaker. But not a journalist.

He might have done some journalism, but he's not known for that. Einstein was a violinist, but he wasn't the "most recognized violinists" of his time.

I think your Freeper friend should show some proof that O'Reily is the most watched journalist.

No way! Just an idiot freeper I argue with on another discussion board. He is a dumbass. He says he agrees with o'lielly because it was stupid of San Francisco to ban recruiting. I nailed him for that because SF did NOT ban recruiting. So he came back with o'lielly is the most watched journalist IN THE WORLD so he can't be all that bad.

He will want links when I say o'lielly does not have more viewers than any other news show in the world.

I was hoping a DUer could point me in the right direction. I looked at wikipedia and searched for Nielsen ratings but I am coming up empty.

You can't disprove a negative. The burden is on him to prove that O'Reily is the most-watched.

Having said that, I think if you could find the numbers of news-viewers in China, that would sink the FOX claim pretty quickly.

By the way, I would stop talking with Freepers. If you want to mimic the experience of talking to a Freeper, dig a hole in your back yard and scream into it.

You are wasting your time.

I win 90% of the debates. They are such easy pickings. And I have recruited one over to our side. He now hates bush and posts the most negative stuff he can find on el presidente (that's his nickname for dubya).

I am going to look for ratings on Chinese news shows. That's probably my best angle.

Here is what this idiot freeper said in a discussion of evolution:

Funny, isn't it that science is the study of God's laws. God made all the laws of the universe and scientists study the laws and tell us what the laws are. hehehe

How can you not want to slam this idiotic logic against the nearest wall? Target practice - and the pickins are easy :)

If I wanted to argue with a child, I would have kids.

The only thing bigger than his mouth with the exception of Limbaugh's head is his ego.

he does have a journalism degree.

watched crazy person at his particular hour, although I don't know what time Benny Hinn, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson are on or how many idiots watch them.

He has style. Single handedly revived the Nehru jacket. Only he can bring it off.

May not be the most watched, but IMHO, he is the crazierst.

More people watch any of the network newscasts, morning shows and newsmagzines than ever turn on Fox. Hell, I'll bet there are local journalists in New York and LA that have more viewers that anyone on Fox.

More people read newspapers than watch TV news. I found that info. But I need to know where to look up o'lielly's numbers.

a journalist then...but he sure isn't one anymore.

He's a commenter

Judging from his manic antics, he is a sinking rat about to be deserted by the FAUX ship... he has cost them a bit of $$ of late and his market shares are

so fast he even went on The Daily Show, knowing he would be beat up bad.

he's not a journalist .. he's __________ (fill in blank)

I have it on authority from my dog.

media person out there. I wish I could provide a link...

but I think a show in China is actually #1 for viewers.

and he's not called O'Lielly for nothing...

For October:

Among the broadcast networks' evening newscasts, it was another split decision: NBC Nightly News averaged 9.4 million viewers to ABC's World News Tonight average of 8.6 million viewers and CBS Evening News viewership of 7.3 million. In adults 25-54, ABC and NBC averaged a 2.5 rating and CBS averaged a 1.8 rating.

Just what I was looking for. Merci beaucoups :)

according to Fox News.

None of those numbers beat China. 300 million viewers watch their #1 news show.

network news show.

eom.

One whose occupation is journalism.

O'Lielie is hardly a journalist.

There are 13,000,000 hits for that alone. Be creative and send him some boolean search terms for homework.

Send him links to photos of children from Fallujah burned by White Phosphorus.

'bush doing badly'. The idiot freeper was stupid enough to ask just what he was doing badly.

BTW, 5 million hits for that on Google. LOL

First, he's not a journalist, he's a hateful loudmouth scumbag with a show on cable TV. The audience for the cable "news" channels is tiny compared to the viewership for broadcast TV news. In fact, if DUers would quit watching him so they could report on how shocked they are by what he says his audience would be almost zero.

I very much doubt he's that widely watched in the US when you consider ABC, CBS & NBC.

Nothing more and perhaps less.
