I hope this wasn't posted already (I did a search).

Sean Penn is not worth spit, but I found this too funny. On the same page that he threatens "Fox News' end is near", there are top rated cable shows. Top 5 are ALL Fox News. LOL

Sean Penn is a Red Diaper Baby of the first magnitude. His writer/director father, Leo Penn, was listed as a Communist by the HCUA during the McCarthy era and was on the blacklist.

Leo's nutjob acorn has not fallen far from the tree.

Bogus dude...those numbers can't be right...

[Content Provider]

That’s actually a drop for FNC - they used to have 9 of the top 10 cable news programs.

[RabidBartender]

LOL @ Chris Matthews (schmuck)

[ssaftler]

Sean Penn is a Red Diaper Baby of the first magnitude

In his case, you forgot the most important adjective in the description. He's a:

Red Diaper DOPER Baby

He was so great as Spicoli because he didn't have to act the part.

[dragnet2]

Actually, in a country of 300 plus million those numbers are a joke.

Television is a vast orchestrated propaganda machine for the easily led and ignorant.

[Afronaut]

Someone still thinks that Fox are the "Good Guys"????

Pass me the pills

[bmwcyle]

Sean Penn movie work will dry up before Fox goes away.

[Radix]

Did he also slam Ann Coulter for reminding us all of his old man's activities back in the 1950s?

"I almost wish Jerry Falwell were alive to see this. Almost," Penn shouted to the crowd. After dropping some names of conservatives who are still with us - "Bill O'Reilly, who is too stupid to talk about," and "Sean Hannity, the butt boy of Rupert Murdoch," Penn said, "We know something more. We know their end is near."

It's a wrap - 'Milk' filming ends in S.F.

Why don't you tell us which shows dropped off the list?

[MizSterious]

Well, they kicked John Gibson to the curb, so there went one they could have had. Not to mention they give Geraldo two weekend nights, so most people probably switch to videos of paint drying and grass growing to ease the boredom from his claptrap.

[Content Provider]

Assuming we’re not counting the O’Reilly repeats as a separate program (for a while even the repeats were top 10), the FNC no-longer-top-10 shows are:

America’s Newsroom
The Big Story w/J Gibson
Studio B w/Shep Smith
Fox and Friends
Your World w/Neil Cavuto

The real interesting thing about these new numbers is the rapid rise of Lou Dobbs.

[oh8eleven]

Thanks. I really find it hard to believe they’ve all dropped lower than Nancy Grace (ugh).

[drpix]

My fantasy of a just end is a little different than Comrade Penn's...

At the least that would be a natural as his next film role.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I didn’t know they even HAD 9 shows.

[CharlesWayneCT]

So Sean Penn was playing a butt-boy, and he called Sean Hannity a butt-boy?

Why don’t gay people get mad at Sean Pean for using such offensive anti-gay language?

[CharlesWayneCT]

was Neil Cavuto’s ratings on Fox hurt because of the new Fox Business channel?
