Latest News... From Drudge Report - FLASH: FOXNEWS PULLS 3,868,000 VIEWERS BETWEEN 8-11:30 PM ET MONDAY [VIEWERSHIP HITS 4,616,000 DURING RUDY SPEECH]; CNN AT 1,262,000 VIEWERS; MSNBC SCORES 854,000... That's it America - Look at the message we're sending the mainstream media. The Networks ignore and we decide!! Way to Go!
So... 7 million people saw the convention on FNC/MSNBC/CNN.
That means 287 million people in the US did not.
How does it compare to the Dem convention on the first night?
Not necessarily that cut and dry, but over all you are correct the LSM ignores us.
Well what about PBS, C-SPAN, etc.?? Anybody have the #s on them?? Are ratings ever even measured on those two?? Because the only way someone w/out cable would watch the convention last night would be on PBS.
considering the dims had a 4 broadcast networks plus MSNBC<CNBC<FNC<CNN<CSPAN we came out roughly 12 million viewers less.
And CNN is heavily advertising their coverage on all the conservative talk shows here in Central Florida. Kinda makes you shake your head but still thank them for keeping Rush, Sean, & co. on the air! Meanwhile, let me know when pigs fly and maybe I'll tune in.
CNN paid Rush's obscene ad rates:)
Same here in Connecticut. I've heard that CNN-Republican Convention commerical over and over again during Rush and I think also during Sean Hannity's show on a different AM station.
I laugh every time I hear it... I'd never dream of tuning into CNN for the Republican convention. In this household (for convention coverage), it's: 1. Fox News, 2. CSPAN, and 3. MSNBC.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
I heard the first night of the Dem. convention was not broadcast on ABC, NBC and CBS. Is that not true?
Yes, just like Tuesday was a blackout at the Dem convention.
Tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday will be shown.
The first night of the DimConvention [bold] was [/bold] </br> broadcasted on all 4 brodcast networks plus the cable outlets.
Thanks for the ping!
