Hannity's interview with Palin Wednesday night, a cable news first as she makes the rounds promoting Going Rogue, drew 4.20M Total Viewers and 1.15M in the A25-54 demo.
Last night, Bill O'Reilly's interview with Palin drew 4.12M Total Viewers and 1.07M in the demo. But O'Reilly has two more nights of Palin -- tonight and Monday.
Glenn Beck will be in Florida tomorrow wrapping up a two-day, seven-city speaking and book-signing tour. During his stop at The Villages retirement community north of Orlando, Beck promises to reveal how his Fox News show will look come January, which is the one-year anniversary of the show:
Fox News has apologized for misrepresenting footage of Gov. Sarah Palin during a segment about her book tour. Think Progress spotted this on FNC yesterday and realized the footage used was from the campaign trail, not from Palin's book tour. (But if you listen closely to anchor Gregg Jarrett, it appears his script said one thing, and he was expecting new video to play, but instead it's file tape of Palin from a campaign rally. It's live, cable news. It happens):
Well, this afternoon, on "Happening Now," anchor Jane Skinner apologized:
Last week, "The Daily Show" caughtSean Hannity's program using old 9/12 protest footage during a segment describing large crowds at Michelle Bachmann's more recent rally. Hannity also later apologized.
The AP's David Bauder has a behind the scenes look at Major Garrett's interview with Pres. Obama Wednesday morning in China.
Garrett, Fox's senior White House correspondent, described the backstage atmosphere as "very calm, very rational, very relaxed.
"Look, I wasn't going to litigate whatever it was that was going on between Fox and the White House," Garrett said. "Whether it was a war or not, I was always a conscientious objector in the conflict."
White House spokesman Joshua Earnest tells Bauder the administration had no "post-game comment" about Obama's interview with Garrett -- the first time in nearly four months that Fox News has been granted an interview with the president.
Meanwhile, David Letterman's Top 10 Highlights of Obama's Interview with Fox News:
6. Mostly about Shakira's awesome new "She Wolf" video
5. Interviewer kept referring to "alleged President Obama"
1. Only thing they could agree on is that Glenn Beck is a load
Suzanne Sena, former primetime/late night news anchor on Fox News Channel, is back in front of the camera, this time anchoring for ONN: Onion News Network. Sena worked for FNC from 2006-2008 and appeared on "Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld." She also filled in on Fox & Friends Weekend. For ONN, Sena anchors coverage of a malfunctioning TelePromTer at the White House.
Sarah Palin's first Fox News interview may be with Sean Hannitytomorrow night, but the former VP nominee and new author also sat down with Bill O'Reilly. O'Reilly's team has put together this short promotional video touting the interview which will air over several days on his show:
Sean Hannity gets the first cable interview with former Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin since the release of her memoir "Going Rogue." The interview airs tomorrow night at 9pmET on "Hannity."
Lou Dobbs continued his media rounds tonight with his first TV interview since leaving CNN, on "The O'Reilly Factor." (He'll be talking with TVNewser tomorrow). Dobbs talked about what led to his departure, his coverage of the birther movement, a possible future in politics and the shot fired at his home last month.
O'Reilly got in his his usual digs at the competition. "We don't have anything against CNN," he said. "NBC News, we don't like. But CNN, I don't have anything against you guys."
"It's those guys now," said Dobbs.
O'Reilly continued: "Campbell Brown is getting murdered. Larry King has declined, like 80%. Anderson Cooper is getting hammered. So they want more of that? Does that make sense to you?"
The eight minute conversation ended with O'Reilly offering Dobbs a "semi-regular" contributor position for the show. Not bad going from a fourth place cable network, to appearing on the #1 cable news show.
Even more from Marisa Guthrie's B&C story on the Sunday shows. With the White House v. Fox News war of words still simmering, Guthrie talks with news execs and anchors about the implications and the outcome.
"Anytime anybody in the political world uses guest bookings as either a gift or in a punitive way, you start playing games with the news," says Steve Capus, president of NBC News. "If you're an administration official, you ought to be able to answer questions from someone like Chris Wallace."
For his part, Wallace says he'll keep at it: "We continue to request guests every week," he tells Guthrie. "My feeling is we're not going to make it easy on them."
