Wednesday Ratings: P2+ & 25-54 Demo I used to muse about how two CNN's equaled one Fox News. But recently, it hasn't been true: Three CNN's equaled one Fox News in Wednesday primetime. Here are the rest of the numbers, including Paula Zahn's very low 397,000 and The Situation's even lower 198,000:

Wow... O'reilly OWNS that 8 o'clock hour.
I want Olbermann off the air now!
Actually, 3 CNNs = 1 pile of camel dung.
Fox is having a hard time seeing them in their rear view mirror.
It's about time for him to change jobs yet again.
Not even close ~ Bump!
Thanks for the stats!
Fox gets better ratings than all the others COMBINED!
Brian doesn't muse. He copies.
Go Nancy Grace! I dislike her show, but the fact so many people hate her like tv critics and other show hosts makes me cheer her on.
Tucker is finding out that lightweights = no ratings.
No big shocker here. Fox continues to dominate CNN across the board and in all time slots. Kind of sad the way CNN went from dominance to an after thought.
"Fox is having a hard time seeing them in their rear view mirror."
Yep... so why are they hiring that communist butt-boy Wesley Clark? They need to stick to the formula that's working for them, not kow-tow to the left and become like every other channel.
Maybe he can be on Brit's panel and get roughed up by Brit or Krauthammer or Barnes. I've never seen Clark challenged so it'll be interesting to see if and when he gets challenged.
Fox has more liberals on their network than CNN or MSNBC has conservatives.
"Fox has more liberals on their network than CNN or MSNBC has conservatives."
Oh for sure! That's why I find it so laughable that liberals claim that Fox is the biased one. Wes Clark is really really bad however, a totally brainless mouthpiece.
Remember, Foxnews first overtook CNN's ratings during the Iraq invasion because Fox was the only channel where people could get an honest version that didn't bash the troops and pretend we were being defeated. Wes Clark would have covered that invasion exactly the same way as CNN. In fact I think Wes Clark was on CNN during that time. I'm not sure why Foxnews wants to copy the station that they are defeating.
Perhaps he can fill in for Colmes sometimes.
"Perhaps he can fill in for Colmes sometimes."
That's the only role I can accept him in. He should NEVER be referred to as an "Analyst" or "Reporter". Anything he says should be strictly advertised as "commentary", not "news" or "analysis"
So you want the COMMENTARY graphic up everytime he speaks on FNC?
Yep. And he should only be speaking when he has a conservative opponent debate style. What I'm afraid of is that they're going to give him the role of "Analyst" and of course his "Analysis" will be the same old MSM conservative-bashing nonsense every time. The absolute worst would be if they put him on as a "military analyst" and give him a chance to constantly bash the Bush Administration's policies whenever possible as though he's analyzing military policy.
