Glenn Beck's Best Numbers Yet (there is a 'however')
Glenn Beck had his highest viewership ever Thursday averaging 3.34M Total Viewers. His was the second-highest rated program in Total Viewers in cable news behind The O'Reilly Factor's 3.61M.

And Beck was even bigger with the ad-friendly demo, putting up his second best numbers since the show premiered in January. In A25-54 viewers, Beck was #1 for the day, and remember, his show airs at 5pmET/2pmPT when viewers aren't in front of their TVs like they are at 8, 9 or 10pm. Although, last night many of those primetime viewers were siphoned off from all other channels, and instead watching the NFL's first regular season game on NBC which drew 17.75M Total Viewers.

— Total Viewers / A25-54 demo

• Beck - 3,340,000 / 958K
• O'Reilly - 3,609,000 / 918K
• Hannity - 2,986,000 / 831K

(these are the same people whose Tee Vees are ONLY turned to FAUX)

1. I think there are a lot of people tuning in to see what all the fuss is about
I don't for a second believe all those watchers are fans. I think because Beck is so damn controversial that people are curious. I will be absolutely amazed if his ratings hold up after a couple of weeks. I expect them to plummet through the floor. People get tired of crazy in short order.

2. Anyone stop and wonder how wonderful the USA would be if they worked for GOOD instead of EVIL?
All that persuasiveness, and they piss it away on making people suffer so the rich can become more rich.

It's a shame.

6. and don't forget...
On the average that 21 million people tune in to the real news (networks of ABC NBC CBS) on a nightly basis

so Fox News ratings equal a very tiny less than 1% of the total population of the USA

8. The fit will hit the shan when his numbers exceed O'Reilly's
And it looks like they are pretty close right now. I don't think Billo's fragile ego will be able to handle no longer being the center of attention on Fox. He'll start sliming Beck and and Beck's supporters will retaliate and first thing you know we'll have a cat fight among the clowns.

Should be great for popcorn sales.
