| Iron Eagle | Posted – 11/13/2007 1:05:51 PM | show profile Keith crushes Stink Factor with football show ratings by 6,000 percent. O'Reilly will never be on real televsion - just there with the lonely cable guy. |
| newfrickinshow | Posted – 11/13/2007 1:24:46 PM | show profile Not to mention How can you claim to have beaten Keith by such a margin when Keith had the night off? |
| newfrickinshow | Posted – 11/13/2007 1:35:02 PM | show profile and what is with bathtub crap. Is there some sort of story behind it? Or is it like the people who wrote The Bible or John Gibson reporting the news: just making it up as he goes along? The Lufah Boy and Falafel stuff began with the Mackris story. So, where does it even come from? |
| robsemail | Posted – 11/13/2007 2:04:25 PM | show profile It was a holiday weekend, dum-dum! Anybody with a life was out partying. Shut-ins watched TV. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 11/13/2007 2:45:03 PM | show profile Ratings are low so its time for another Special Education Komment. Maybe he can get this one right!!!!! Bathtub boy refers to Olbermann hiding is his bathtub to keep from doing a show about his hero Bill Clinton. |
| JIMBO99 | Posted – 11/13/2007 4:10:54 PM | show profile It is what it is Libs.........SPIN THAT! "Fox News Channel was the 5th most-watched cable network in prime time last week in total viewers. CNN was 26th. Click here to see the total programming day rankings as well." Wow....and MSNBC is not even in the top 30.....Oh Doggie,how sad,how very sad for you and yer Lib fellow travelers |
| dennis | Posted – 11/13/2007 5:11:57 PM | show profile One should never confuse successful marketing and a slick package with quality... McDonalds, Britney Spears, Vin Diesel, and Night At The Museum also "beat the competition" at some point. People are sheep, and right now, Fox News has enough action movie music, whizzing, banging and "alerts" to keep people watching. The saddest part is that everyone is falling over themselves to imitate FN, and it ain't about the politics. It's about the numbers. What a sad, sad state. We used to have journalists. Now we have "competitive stories." |
| JIMBO99 | Posted – 11/13/2007 6:16:27 PM | show profile Hey Dennis.... CNN and MSNBC are covering the same drivel....only problem is they can't capture any viewers.... MSNBC goes further left and the numbers drop,wouldn't you think they would learn? CNN has tried everything and to no avail...it means that the viewers at Foxnews like what they see and stay,and in the final analysis,isn't it the customer that counts? |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 11/13/2007 6:56:27 PM | show profile it's the IQ of the customer that counts. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 11/13/2007 7:48:57 PM | show profile crimedog doesn't count for much |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 11/13/2007 8:13:36 PM | show profile Olby - I can't express what a joy it's been without you the past few days. Now that you're back the air has been soiled and board suddenly feels grimey. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 11/13/2007 8:21:06 PM | show profile crimedog you feel soiled and grimey??Does your adult diaper need changing?? Nurse!!!! Nurse!!!!! |
| kevink868 | Posted – 11/13/2007 8:23:52 PM | show profile Brilliant analysis, JIMBO. Yeah, MSNBC's numbers are just a disaster. That's why you're on here killing them, because they're nothing to be concerned about, right? The customer is always right? You sure you can't jam another cliche in there somewhere? Let me tell ya, JIMBO, around here we play 'em one game at a time, we don't put the cart before the horse, and it ain't over til the fat lady sings. Meanwhile, don't take any wooden nickels. |
| JIMBO99 | Posted – 11/13/2007 9:07:23 PM | show profile The Scoreboard: Monday, Nov. 12.. Hey Libs..was Keef off that night too?.......Down by 175%..Oh dear. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 11/13/2007 9:28:04 PM | show profile Just plain stupid posts of no relevance. Time to take a dip in hot mustard board trolls. |
| stvj57 | Posted – 11/14/2007 12:14:40 AM | show profile holy moly i believe that olberman not too long ago made a big deal about beating bill in the demo. but mr. clean (keef) failed to report that it was a rerun from 2 weeks prior that he beat (just barely) with his first run. so he flaps his wings when he thinks it can help him without full discloser. i have clicked on here and seen you folks battle for a while now and i am not trying to make enimies straight off the bat but when you are arguing over things such as ratings that are out there for all to plainly see, wtf is the point. olberman's ratings went up as soon as he upped his ranting about fox and bill and bush and created his high-hype persona and they have stabilized. there is a small percent of folks that go for that and he is getting them. olbermans numbers are pretty consistant each night. bills numbers vary time to time by as much as olbermans TOTAL NUMBERS FOR THE NIGHT. meaning bill can sometimes gain and lose the number of viewers that olberman has and STILL beat him by twice as much or more. the demo numbers are fine but look at total viewers as well. olbermans total viewers are not much more than the demo numbers. but bill's total numbers jump a ton over his demo numbers. it means olberman gets his viewers from one select group while bill gets his from all over the spectrum. that's just an observation on my part. some of you can lightly write off fnc's numbers by saying it is all flashy t.v. the truth is, it is in what they report and how they report it. if all they did was slam bush and take the european viewpoint on issues and come off as bad mouthing traditional america i bet they would not have the viewers they do. they may have a pro american slant. they may favor the conservitive point of view. so what. as long as there are different views out there for us to investigate who f'n cares. i don't care what view msnbc promotes, or cnn, or fnc. it does make it hard when you have to check them all out to form an opinion though. the folks that have done that are seeming choose fnc for the most part. my point is let fnc do what they do and let the others do what they do. to those of you who may be liberal, i hear the freedom of speach statement thrown around by liberal folks all the time. as well as the statement that we all have a right to our own beliefs. why does the idea of a place for conservitive minded folks scare you or offend you so much? same question for conservitive folks. while fnc does have their bias, thay at least have a less vicious way of doing it than msnbc. and they do at least try to give points from both sides. the thing is fnc just comes off as more believable to more people. i do have to say for the most part hannity is a right wing nut that just goes overboard and is not very creative. and colmbs is a pathetic left wing patsy that can't come up with a decent argument to support his views to save his ass. so that is what i think of that show. i am not trying to create enimies, for we all have our own beliefs and opinions. and i know folks love to spar and might have a lot in common if the truth be known. but to argue and deny and make excusess for the obvious don't get no one no where. |

| newfrickinshow | Posted – 11/14/2007 5:20:03 PM | show profile I don't mind conservatives Most of my friends are conservative. I am a conservative. I am a libertarian. I don't see Fox News as supporting a conservative agenda, because I don't see the Republican party as truly conservative anymore. It really got started with Reagan and the injection of the self-described religious right into politics. But they aren't truly right, as they want to create new laws making their religious taboos illegal. Their church tells them that abortion, homosexuality, and birth control are wrong so they fight every form tooth and nail. Wanting to make them all illegal, trying to make your faith into law is extreme left and a form of fascism. True conservatism says that if you oppose abortion, then don't get one. If you oppose homosexuals, don't have gay sex. If you don't like birth control, euthenasia, or flag burning, don't do them. My problem with Fox News isn't entirely their obvious Republican bias. It is the lies, misrepresentations, and just plain wrong information that Fox News constantly reports. Without any type of retraction or apologee, and attacking the people who remember/analyze/take offense with something they say is either lying themselves or is just a nut. They like to go around bitching about others but act as if they are beyond reproach. Fox News seems to be hosted by self-righteous ego and ethnocentric dimwits. I get the impression they have a bias, and will stick to it no matter what. If the facts turn against them, they just start making stuff up. I feel their ratings are higher because they tell hateful and distrustful people what they want to hear. It's the same reason why Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell have had such popularity. They would probably turn to Fred Phelps if he'd simply add more than just gay-bashing to his reportoire. |
| JIMBO99 | Posted – 11/14/2007 6:02:32 PM | show profile "It is the lies, misrepresentations, just plain wrong info" Sooooo NFS,shouldn't be to hard to list 2 or 3 lies.... WAITING........................ |
| newfrickinshow | Posted – 11/14/2007 7:17:57 PM | show profile 2 or 3 lies OK, I've done it before, but I can find a few more. Fox News said Jimmy Carter's statements a little while back. A former president publicly disagreeing/attacking a sitting president? Theodore Roosevelt was publicly unhappy with the work done by his successor William Howard Taft. So in response Roosevelt left the Republican party and ran against him. After leaving office Franklin Pierce openly supported the Confederacy and John Tyler actually joined the Confederacy! You want more, here's 15 more. All Sean Hannity: http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/kfiles/b91585.html If you don't want to go and look, here's a couple of my favorites. HANNITY: "You're not listening, Susan. You've got to learn something. He had weapons of mass destruction. He promised to disclose them. And he didn't do it. You would have let him go free; we decided to hold him accountable." (4/13/04) FACT: Hannity's assertion comes more than six months after Bush Administration weapons inspector David Kay testified his inspection team had "not uncovered evidence that Iraq undertook significant post-1998 steps to actually build nuclear weapons or produce fissile material" and had not discovered any chemical or biological weapons. (Bush Administration Weapons Inspector David Kay, 10/2/03) "[After 9-11], liberal Democrats at first showed little interest in the investigation of the roots of this massive intelligence failure...[Bush and his team] made it clear that determining the causes of America's security failures and finding and remedying its weak points would be central to their mission." (Let Freedom Ring, by Sean Hannity) TRUTH: Bush Opposed the creation of a special commission to probe the causes of 9/11 for over a year. On 5/23/02 CBS News Reported "President Bush took a few minutes during his trip to Europe Thursday to voice his opposition to establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before Sept. 11." Bush didn't relent to pressure to create a commission, mostly from those Hannity would consider "liberal" until September 2002. (CBS News, 5/23/02) HANNITY: "First of all, this president -- you know and I know and everybody knows -- inherited a recession...it was by every definition a recession" (11/6/02) HANNITY: "Now here's where we are. The inherited Clinton/Gore recession. That's a fact." (5/6/03) HANNITY: "The president inherited a recession." (7/10/03) HANNITY: "He got us out of the Clinton-Gore recession." (10/23/03) HANNITY: "They did inherit the recession. They did inherit the recession. We got out of the recession." (12/12/03) HANNITY: "And this is the whole point behind this ad, because the president did inherit a recession." (1/6/04) HANNITY: "Historically in every recovery, because the president rightly did inherit a recession. But historically, the lagging indicator always deals with employment." (1/15/04) HANNITY: "Congressman Deutsch, maybe you forgot but I'll be glad to remind you, the president did inherit that recession." (1/20/04) HANNITY: "He did inherit a recession, and we're out of the recession." (2/2/04) HANNITY: "The president inherited a recession." (2/23/04) HANNITY: "The president inherited a recession." (3/3/04) HANNITY: "Well, you know, we're going to show ads, as a matter of fact, in the next segment, Congressman. Thanks for promoting our next segment. What I like about them is everything I've been saying the president ought to do: is focusing in on his positions, on keeping the nation secure in very difficult times, what he's been able to do to the economy after inheriting a very difficult recession, and of course, the economic impact of 9/11." (3/3/04) HANNITY: "All right. So this is where I view the economic scenario as we head into this election. The president inherited a recession." (3/16/04) HANNITY: "First of all, we've got to put it into perspective, is that the president inherited a recession." (3/26/04) HANNITY: "Clearly, we're out of the recession that President Bush inherited." (4/2/04) HANNITY: "Stop me where I'm wrong. The president inherited a recession, the economic impact of 9/11 was tremendous on the economy, correct?" (4/6/04) HANNITY: "[President George W. Bush] did inherit a recession." (5/3/04) HANNITY: "[W]e got [the weak U.S. economy] out of the Clinton-Gore recession." (5/18/04) HANNITY: "We got out of the Clinton-Gore recession." (5/27/04) HANNITY: "We got out of the Clinton-Gore recession." (6/4/04) FACT: "The recession officially began in March of 2001 -- two months after Bush was sworn in -- according to the universally acknowledged arbiter of such things, the National Bureau of Economic Research. And the president, at other times, has said so himself." (Washington Post, 7/1/03) Want more? |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 11/14/2007 7:53:34 PM | show profile Yeah News Show us where Fox has faked news stories. You can't trust FNC ,but you can trust the NYTimes and CNN? |
| newfrickinshow | Posted – 11/14/2007 7:57:43 PM | show profile Look back. I've already posted some a few threads back. Lies by Brit Hume. Would Shephard Smith work for you? Saying that he did not "want to confuse two things here," on the October 2 edition of Fox News' Studio B, host Shepard Smith appeared to do precisely that. He claimed that the 16-year-old former congressional page who received sexually inappropriate emails from former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) in 2005 had not referred to them as "sick." Smith asserted this in the defense of Republican House leaders who have stated that they had knowledge of the Foley emails -- which they have described as "overly friendly" -- but not the more explicit instant messages written by Foley in 2003. In fact, the recipient of the emails did repeatedly describe them as "sick" when he forwarded them to a congressional aide in August 2005. In a "newsbreak" report on the indictment of Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher on charges of conspiracy, official misconduct, and violating a prohibition against political discrimination, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith failed to identify Fletcher as a Republican. In announcing that Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame had filed a lawsuit against Dick Cheney, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, and Karl Rove, Fox News host Shepard Smith uncritically stated that Robert Novak "was on this network yesterday saying there was no concerted campaign to out Plame as a way of punishing her husband." But Smith omitted special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald's findings that a "concerted action" by "multiple people in the White House" had been intended to "discredit, punish or seek revenge against" Wilson. Want more? And by the way, are you saying that Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity can lie and present their garbage as fact just because they're "opinion guys?" |

| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 11/14/2007 8:46:31 PM | show profile want more? Have yet to talk about CBS,NYTimes,Newsweek,Time, and many others. |
| newfrickinshow | Posted – 11/14/2007 9:41:22 PM | show profile Dizzy? from all that spinning? The difference is FNC NEVER ignores party affiliation to the best of my knowledge. On every graphic, even in the ticker, it's always Sen. Name(Party)State. For some reason they just neglected to mention it in this story, when they don't for every other story ever? "Richard Armitage leaked her name.Patrick J. Fitzgerald knew this from the beginning.Some would say P.J. was the one seeking revenge.No one was ever charged for leaking her name.No laws broken." Everyone thought it was Rove, Cheney or Bush himself. Oh, and on Robert Novak's wiki entry: "In 2003, he identified Valerie Plame as a CIA "operative" in his column. Novak reported the information was provided to him by two "senior administration officials." These were eventually revealed to be Richard Armitage, with Novak assuming Karl Rove's comments as confirmation." The reason you don't hear me compaining about ABC or CBS is because I don't watch them. They are biased, but not liberally biased. They have become biased to anyone in charge, so they can keep the front row seats in the White House Press Corps. So they can keep high-level access. |
