Not wierd to me. I have on FNC background during the day. When Shep shows up at 2:45 I turn the channel, ditto his 7 pm show. I have a visceral reaction to him. I think I am not alone. Shep is usually the bottom of FNC 5-11.

Every now and again I’ll watch MSNBC....and every time I think, why’d I do that? It’s always lame, boring, flat.

If I was Little Chrissy and realized that I had only half the ratings of Keith Olbermann, I think I’d quit out of embarrassment and shame.

Maybe Barry will “bend the curve” and force us to watch state-controlled ultimate media (SCUM).

It’s hard to believe that Ed Schultz beats Anderson Cooper. I’m not a fan of Cooper’s but I have nothing against him. Schultz on the other hand with his unintentional Beavis and Butthead resemblance and intentional dishonesty in reporting makes me sick.

I used to watch Beck when he was on CNN but his time slot doesn’t work as well for me in my current situation. His understanding of fiscal policy is by far superior to any of the other hosts. Hannity is a loyal Republican and O’Reilly is a political conservative, yes, but nobody else with a show, save for maybe John Stossel, understands fiscal policy as well as the former rodeo clown. Three cheers for Beck!

“I am surprised Olbermann is the top rated non-Fox show”

Olberbumb is the media GOD to the young little Neo-Marxist, like the DUmmies.
It is logical that he would be the top rated Marxist Obot.
All of the others are just a mixed bag with the leftist that have not gone overboard.

Olbermann is like a trainwreck, people tune in to see what he’s going to do next...

CBS Evening News only drew 5.4M, with a much wider audience potential than cable.

..Beck would beat O’Reilly if he was in a better time slot..

I believe that is the reason O’Reilly has Beck on his show at least once a week...jacks his ratings.

Will be interesting to see where they slide him in when he moves to FNC and FBN.

"I should add that viewership goes down from Beck to Shep which is odd to me"

You lost me- Beck comes on at 4 central, then Bret Bair @ 5 Cent, then usually Shep, then B O'R.

Between Beck and Shep there are a lot of viewers who seem to tune out. Bret has more than Shep, but numbers decrease after beck till O’Reilly comes on.
