When you go on a barnstorming tour to Texas, Massachussetts, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania and Col. Oliver North, Bill Bennett, Ralph Reed and others come out on tour with you that says it all.

"LKL: staying strong with the retirement home demographic."

I knew there was something about Larry King that reminded me of Lawrence Welk.

You don't have to block the propaganda. I didn't, and my kids all grew up to be staunch Republicans. Just point out the absurdities to them--at least, as many as you reasonably can.

I like Hannity, he's hitting on all cylinders. Books, radio show, TV show, he's like a rock star and way better than the 90% of the other garbage out there.

He should wear a tin-foil hat on his show the next time he claims Bush stole the election. You have to wonder how bright the management is to allow their hosts to push garbage stories like that.

Britt (the best of the Fox team) is up against up against THREE network news shows here on the East Coast at 6pm. That fractures the audience into tiny pieces.

I agree that he has attained "rock star" status. All you have to do is show up at one of this Hannitization Tour events to observe that fact in person.

We were at his tour stop back in mid-October in Orem, UT at Utah Valley State College and what a night it was! Then the next day at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix, on the eve of the last debate.

I am so glad that I'm still alive to see this happen, I have detested these news organizations for years, PTL that people are seeing the light and seeking the truth, the fair and balanced truth.

"A third hour of political commentary would be repetitive"

Two years of almost nothing but Peterson stories isn't repetitive?

< Greta always amazes me. Her show is on fairly late, and although it is a good show, it's really not that fantastic... yet it does super in the ratings. I'm happy for her. >

No matter what one thinks of Greta, she has the best panels for her genre. A lot of people don't appreciate the genre, but if you are a "true crime" fan, Greta's show and Court TV are the shows to watch.

As a side note, I love seeing Odorman's ratings smelling as badly as he does. I guess his constant ranting about recounts has been run into the ground.

CNN has signed Nancy Grace from what I understand

Is that a fact? As long as she doesn't discuss her politics, she'll probably do quite well with the upcoming high profile trials. However, once they end I fear she'll resort to the same touchy feely interviews LKL is known for.

Yaya, newest Hardball numbers.

I was stuck with only CNN headline news on the TV for a few weeks when I was sick.
Every single crap weasel rapper's "birthday" was constantly scrolling across the screen. What a load of useless "news".

my question too, why aren't the best news shows on television even rated here? Brit's show, Neil Cavuto, and John Gibson. My guess is they only rate primetime shows? Doesn't make sense to me at all since cable news is 24 hours, but there ya go.

Funny thought..what kind of ratings does CNN's Crossfire get? hee hee

You actually might like Scarborough Country on MSNBC. I watch Fox all the time, but at 10 p.m. ET, I switch over to MSNBC.

Scarborough is a conservative, but can be unnerving at times, as he's certainly gone after the President enough. But Pat Buchanan has been substituting almost constantly for Scarborough for the last few months, and Buchanan seems to be a much better moderator and commentator. I wish they'd keep him and decrease Joe's time when he comes back from his medical leave. Buchanan deserves his own show.
