Newsmax had some ratings for Monday night of the hurricane. CNN gained on FOX. They had something like 2 million views as compared to Fox's 2.3 million. CNN usually has about 500,000. SO CNN had the momentum. I hear from Freepers they had great coverage until about Tuesday night went they went into their Bush's fault, Iraq war, racism charges. All downhill from Monday.
It will be interesting to see if they kept up their ratings surge or once again chose politics over good coverage and people deserted them for FOX.
In all fairness CNN owned the story up until they (Wolf Blitzer/Jack Cafferty) started to trash the President...now they are in full liberal swing and I won't even touch the dial to check it out... my husband said Christian Amanpour is in the States reporting on it now -- negative, of course...
