Another big night for FOX. Its entire Primetime lineup averaged over 2.3 million viewers. FOX beat CNN 3:1 in Prime Time and the Prime Time 25-54 demo. CNN was flat. Even Larry King didnt do better than Nancy Grace and Grace was just doing average for her. MSNBC had a better than usual night thanks to The Situation doing over 250,000. HLN beat CNN in the Primetime Demo.

Sure wish Dennis Miller would get back on the air.
What does "P2" stand for?
Doesn't surprise. My hard core leftist friend told me last week-end that she watches Fox now.
total viewers. I don't know why that is referred to as P2+. Maybe some industry jargon.
Chrissie Matthews is just getting smoked by Fox. I wonder if he's starting to get the message that he's quite irrelevent as far as political commentary is concerned.
FNC Rules ~ Bump!
Maybe P2 exludes those people who would rather go to the bathroom than watch all the soap opera garbage that is today's TV.
exludes=excludes
He drives me nuts. I don't find him to be consistent. Often he is simply a contrarian.
Such an airhead. Note the picture below. If you look close enough, you;ll see the Schrader valve just below her left ear.
Matthews is a total loss because he prostitutes what natural ability he has on the altar of the left, and because he is blatantly narcissistic. As the spoof soundbite of Matthews on Ingraham's radio show goes--shouting and riddled with spittle: "COULD SOMEBODY GET A CLOSEUP OF MY FACE?"
Main stream are the networks, not the cable news channels.
Didn't Jimmah Carter pronouce it thatways?
Why is everyone so happy to see FNC doing well? They have now managed to completely stop covering news. It's like the E! channel or something now. Very pathetic and sad what can be considered a news channel in our society these days.
