My personal opinion, Nancy Grace is freaky.
Good news!!! Fox is doing well for itself!!
Notice that in almost every case, Fox beats all of the other cable networks COMBINED.
Ouch!
BTW, the 1 FoxNews = 3.9 CNN = 12.8 MSNBC description still doesn't make immediate sense.
Fox Snooze Channel has joined the ranks of sensationalism reporting, rather than focusing on true news. I hope you Fox Snooze Bots enjoy Greta, Michael Jackson, Runaway Bride, missing person #1, missing person #2 and missing person #3.
Note: missing person #s 1, 2 and 3 regularly rotate as these people are found, dead or alive, and the news media overanalyzes who they were, why they disappeared and what they did while they were gone.
If Fox Snooze (and the other media outlets) reported yesterday's destruction of private property rights by the Supreme Court with as much analysis as all of the previous items I listed, Americans would be grabbing their firearms and would all head for Washington, D.C.
Uppity is what we'd call her around here. How CNN ever thought this, er, woman, would ever give O'Reilly a run for his money is beyond me.....
What's the deal with Greta's major appeal? I don't get it.
It's temporary with Aruba. As soon as this case winds down or people start losing interest, her numbers will drop. Hannity and O'Reilly and Special Report are more consistent. She's had a few scoops down there so I think her numbers are artifically inflated.
I agree. I'm trying to find a simple headline stating that 4 times as many people saw foxnews last nite compared to CNN.
Have you been watching Fox News for the last 2 years? Ever since the Laci Peterson and Jessica Smart disappearances, Fox News has been non-stop Missing Persons Network.
>>Notice that in almost every case, Fox beats all of the other cable networks COMBINED.>>
And still CNN doesn't get it. Their new "strategy" is to increase international coverage.
I'd rather watch some meaningless story from a nice tropical locale than hear the daily story on how the Republicans again squandered their majority and let the Democrats get away with some new crap.
That is breathtaking!
Personal tragedy's are of interest to a lot of people. Especially woman with children. My wife tunes into Greta all the time. I prefer to watch Scarborough and Brit.
Just did a quick excel table, not sure if this methodology is correct with these numbers, but Fox averages 152% of all the others COMBINED.
I was just referring to ratings. Greta may talk about Holloway and Aruba for the next two to three months for all I know. However, her ratings will ebb and go down assuming there is not another prominent missing persons case that comes up. I think O'reilly, Hannity and Brit do some of this "fluff" but less so. So I think their ratings are more stable.
