O'Reilly's Post-Election "Hemorrhage"
In response to this morning's post about Paula Zahn's ratings, a CNN insider says: "FNC should be less concerned with Zahn's performance and more concerned with the fact that O'Reilly continues to hemorrhage viewers month-over-month since October." Here are the monthly averages:
October: 3,166,000
November: 3,080,000
December: 2,610,000
January: 2,478,000
February: 2,391,000
March: 2,320,000
April: 2,178,000
May-to-date: 2,096,000
I don't know about you, but since the weather has turned nice I don't watch as much TV anymore. Rather be outside.
Wow, looks like Bill is really spinning alot of the folks out of the zone.
Name and town.
O'Reilly is an idiot. He conducts a politically correct broadcast jsut about every night jus in an attempt to pump up his audience #'s.
He isn't on much in this house anymore.He wouldn't care to hear this, but, I find his political correctness on some issues boring.
I've tried to watch O'Reilly but I can't stand someone who asks his guest a question and then is too rude to let them answer it. He seems to do this everytime. He asks a question and then talks continuiously while they are trying to answer.
LHe is worth watching about three minutes... the initial commercial time!.
Billy Boy started believing the press he was giving himelf. Now he's just another common feeder celeb-type talking head.
Running out of spin, Bill?
It's time to start the "Draft Ann Coulter" movement.
I have not watched the O'Reilly show in a very long time.it got to the point that he was getting to stuck on himself.
Whatever happened to that woman who claimed he harassed her? Did she get paid to go away?
He lost me along time ago, he's a pompos pc loudmouth
Too much news and talkradio will make you go blind and give you a bad outlook on life. Fortunately this miserable winter is now over and I can take my bad attitude outside and work on my lawn and flowers.....
the moment he said that no one really knew who OBL would vote for (context was that vote for dhimmis = vote for OBL) is the moment I switched him off permanently.
I'm proud to state though that we turned O'reilly off long before that!

Same here Robert...........
I'd much rather watch Chris Mathews who always gives his guests plenty of time to answer any and all questions.
LOL!
O'Reilly and Boortz seem cut from the same cloth. While both make some good points, who the heck wants to listen to a couple of lawyers being obnoxiously, smarmily, pretentiously right all the time?
I do not like O'R but these stats are sour grapes from CNN. They start in November when all political shows were high and now the stats are back to "normal". I wonder what CNN's stats are now compared to November.
I thought it was something else that did that?
Anyway, I know what you mean. I'm in the mood for a few hits of "Seinfeld" in the evening - not the news.
