Also ... if you're wondering why Roesgen targeted Fox News in her rant, this might clear that up for you. About once a week Drudge profiles the ratings for the cable news networks. Here, through the magic of cut-and-paste, is the latest:
Total viewers Wednesday from 8:00 to 11:00 PM:
FOXNEWS 3,390,000
MSNBC 1,210,000
CNN 1,070,000
CNN HEADLINE 909,000
See that? Fox News has three times plus the viewers that CNN draws in. And you wonder why CNN takes shots at Fox?

FOXNEWS O'REILLY 3,980,000

How many times is O'reilly on during the day, I know with many TV rating systems the numbers are combined if the show is repeated more than once in a measured time period.

mouth breather: I think he's a fascist

reporter: Why?

mouther breather: Because he is!

Being stupid and ignorant is now a badge of honor for the GOP - just look how they can't get enough of Palin and Joe the unlicensed plumber's helper

they get more viewers because there entertaining. i watch o'reilly almost every night.

i dont watch him because i agree with his opinions, i watch him because he's wacky and entertaining. those segments with that producer who just runs after those people are hilarious, miller is alright and i like the segment with the lawyers.

right wingers are just more entertaining, simple as that. ive said that for months. 3.9 mill for a cable show is shit though. sponge bob square pants gets higher ratings, and penguins of madagascar got the same rating.

the 2.6 rating though actually is pretty sad, even if its way better then the other networks.

Stupidity and ignorance crosses party boundaries pretty equally, to
state otherwise shows stupidity and ignorance.

See Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Al Sharpton, ...

Just curious how many more months you going to repeat the
Palin/Plumber mantra as a lame attempt at political rhetoric and
spin?

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and its our Prez:

People who want the federal govt to become smaller-Terrorist

9/11/01-man made disaster

So the Islamic goons that want to kill all of us, not terrorist, those people who want the federal govt to become smaller...terrorist.

Well it YOU said it...@)

Conservatives are more entertaining. See Air America's ratings. (are they still even on?) Thats why nobody watches CNN anymore, just boring as all get out. 3.9million viewers no matter how added is still 3.9 million viewers. What makes me fearful is how many idiots are watching American Idol and couldn't tell you the difference between the House and Senate.

Conservatives are not more entertaining than a comedian or an actor but the Talk Radio/TV guys are very good an stirring up emotion both good and bad.

This is where people actually get their news:

NBC's "Nightly News" won the evening news ratings race, averaging 10.9 million viewers (7.5 rating, 14 share).
ABC's "World News Tonight" had 10.4 million (7.3, 14)
and the "CBS Evening News" 8.3 million (5.8, 11).

gtc08 · Apr 17, 2009

the leap people like zit make though is people are watching these shows like fox because they agree with the viewpoints.

i think hes way wrong on that. im the last person you'd expect to see watch o'reilly and i watch him multiple nights per week. just because your entertaining, don't mean i agree with you. fox is entertaining, msnbc and cnn arn't. doesn't mean more people agree with the viewpoints of people on that network, it means more people are entertained by people on that network, at least it does imo.

Most people get their news from People magazine and US Weekly.
