44. FNC still has huge viewership of 2,235,000 at 8pm
But you can tell when they start drinking Sterno in the central time zone because it drops off to 1,269,000 by 10pm.

2. Can't even begin to tell you how sad I am about that
But I'll try. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! People are getting sick of O'Reilly and his nonsense. Olbermann is more intelligent and actually funny as well. Wonder how O'Reilly will try and spin this. Also wonder if anyone will tune in to find out.

3. That's good news, but it's still too bad that so
many idiots still tune into Faux 'News.'

if you translate those ratings into numbers of people, O'Reilly, sadly, still is the most-watched cable news show.

:grr: When will people learn?

Besides being a MUCH better newsman with a MUCH more entertaining show, Keith is also MUCH, MUCH, MUCH easier on the ole eyeballs than The Big Giant Head.

I remember hearing he only goes to the house with the wife and kids on the weekend. Convenient, ain't it?

31. DID HIS WIFE LEAVE HIM AFTER SEX SUIT???
Does anyone know if the monster's wife left him after the complaint was filed? Since he is so conniving and controlling I would suspect he never allowed her to see the complaint. She probably doesn't even know about. Anyone with info, please respond.

22. He thought she would only need TWO glasses of wine, intravenously?
There's probably not enough wine and drugs in the world that would have made her want to do it with him.

The rest sounds fairly pedestrian but to bring ethnic foods into the equation...

28. O'Reilly's audience is old
Much older than most shows, on average retirement age or older. So his audience is literally dying.

Franken does a joke like "For every 20 old person listening to O'Reilly, there is also a 120 year old person."

16. Aside from all the lying and reichwing ass kissing
Faux is just BAD tv...
it's just unwatchable....
bad personalities, bad reporting, bad opinions, bad hair,
bad sets, bad graphic design, bad audio tags.... you name it.

they just suck.

19. There's some talk out there that Fox's ratings are vastly inflated
anyway.

Something about how many individual hits or tune-ins per day or show, rather than taking into account whether or not the viewer actually stays on that channel.

If viewed by the people actually watching a whole program, CNN has way more viewers than FOX.

Could be that most of the people watching O'Leilly just tune in until the first train-wreck of the show and, not being able to stand it any longer, change channels.

Does anybody know any more about this?

50. You mean in the comparison between CNN and Fox?
I'm pretty sure the methods were pointed out by CNN vis a vis Fox, so the Daily Show and C-SPAN didn't come into their observation, inasmuch as CNN was targeting how FOX came up with it's numbers.

I think I've seen that the Dailly Show hit 2 million viewers some time last year.

51. There are lots of ways to read the numbers
The most common demo used is 25-54. Using this demo and the fact that he skews higher with older people O'Reilly is still way ahead in the ratings even though he is down from last year. A percentage is not real numbers. Top show don't continue to go up in ratings they usually level off or decline slightly. I don't want to be a party poopper but I still think we have a long way to go with Keith.

54. Yes. Not just O'Leilly, FAUX is sinking across the board.
Don't tell me all those inbred morans are finally getting sick of having Rupert Murdoch tell them how to think?!
Someday, the worm WILL turn on those despicable propagandists over there, and then they will come slithering out..begging for respect.

why would he start a war with KO when all it means is that people will head to KOs programme to see what it's about and never return to his bullspit.
KO rocks.

29. The right hate-talkers have hit the saturation point
they've overplayed their hand. Now, it's hatetalker vs. hatetalker. They have to get even more outrageous and sensational to bring in the audience. They're now carnival barkers.
But that kind of voyeurism is a hungry and fickle beast. Every TV station and radio station had to get their own pet Limbaugh/O'Reilly/Hannity/Whatever. And Americans are restless. In the face of Bush kowtowing to his Middle Eastern oil masters, the hatetalkers "misunderestimated" their sheep. Hearing Hannity stumble and stutter through how the Dubai deal is "good" for American security finally broke through the malaise.
Soon, the hateradio/TV crowd will be left only with the fringe.
And that's fine.

As funny as Keith is about Loofah boy he really is NAILING the guy and Faux for that matter by pointing out how much he lies and misrepresents the facts; "Fox not Facts" is funny but it is also the truth.

34. That's because CC moved "TDS" to 8:00, so none of us are watching Bill
I would watch him once in a while to see what he was riled up about this time. Now, I watch TDS at that time, and sometimes The Colbert Report.

40. Amazing how small those overll numbers are though
You could fit all of the viewers of any of those shows into one small city.

Although he is the Big Gorilla of cable news, O'reilly actually only hs a handful of the overall population watching.

A rerun of Bewitched probably trounces them all.

The only negative number in MSNBC's rows is Rita at -1% for the 25-40 demographic.
