Rating keep heading south for CNN. This makes me very happy.

[ElPatriota]

See?.... numbers COUNT! :)

We have power and it can be applied in many ways!...

[ChiMark]

Wow! Chris Matthews is really in the gutter. Yeah!

[demlosers]

Hardball: 239,000

Crissy Mattpuke who? Hahahaaaha...

To add another nail to the CNN coffin, CNN is more widely distributed than FNC. CNN is part of every basic cable/satellite package I know of. FNC is usually a premium station.

Hey CNN !

Loosing share ?

Try the truth !

[McGavin999]

Hume's numbers would be higher if he wasn't on at 4 pm in the west.

Well, if FNC is the propaganda arm of the republican party - like Howard Dean says - the dems better start worrying about those ratings. Seems that more and more people are turning republican.

Of course, this doesn't account for the fact that MOST liberals get their news from such reliable sources as "The Daily Show"...

Tip for Christians.

For only $10 month, get a host of Christian television via satelite including Fox News and Hallmark movie channels. Stop worrying about what your children watching too much tv.

CNN may now qualify for federal disaster relief.

[Ravi]

Yeah, no joke. I have Dish Network and their basic package of 60 channels does not have Fox. I had to get their midlevel package (120 channels) to be able to get Fox.

FoxFan ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

[RottiBiz]

Love those stats!

Thanks, nutmeg.

[StarFan]

Shocked and frankly disappointed to see Greta's high numbers and just heard that Whorealdo signed on for four more years. Does anyone watch his weekend show?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!
