This is even greater than it appears because there are still hotels and communities where the cable doesn’t carry Fox News. Some must watch CNN by default (like in an airport, foreign resort, etc.) because Fox News isn’t a choice.

I’m pretty sure that the BORing One didn’t do so hot. Got beat by Hannity and Greta who focused on the election instead of themselves. Hopefully this is a lesson learned for BOR.

I was in the reception room of lending company yesterday and noticed that CNN was the channel of choice. I asked the receptionist who chose CNN over FOX. She told me she did because she liked the commmercials better on CNN. It just struck me as a bit odd.

I find this surprising. I didn’t even bother much with FOX on election night. I wouldn’t have missed MSNBC that night for anything. The most fun I’ve had since Jane’s Christmas party.

I was watching Hardball for awhile on yesterday. Now that I see there were only 798,000 others watching makes me want to take a shower.

BO’RE and BECK will self destruct. Their egotism is getting more than a little annoying.

Self declared authorities on all things political.

Me too. I watched MSNBC exclusively just to see heads explode. The funny thing is that even though, I’m sure, lots of people who would never watch it were tuned in their ratings wre still abyssmal. I think that a lot of regular watchers couldn’t stand seeing their broadcast “heros” cry, so they didn’t watch.

I have to admit to flipping over to MSNBC a few times during the evening just to see what the Idiots were ranting about. I spent most of the night watching FOX.

Why is it that in airports it is always CNN?

Hard to believe that many people would like to take a head-first dive into a pile of sh*t, but there it is.

Keith Olbermann shut off the victory speech. As if it wasn't news worthy, and then went on a rant.

Seriously? FNC sounds too “American” for travelers’ tastes, based on what was told to me by a colleague of mine. Go figger’...

Because CNN has bought the airport TV news franchise and installed the TV’s in the terminal buildings . . . they own it, basically. Airports sold it to them, believing that they were getting a real news channel, not a propaganda outlet.

Of course, remember too that most U.S. airports are government agencies, too, so there’s some affinity there.
