Snip......

[jveritas]

I mean the top 10 list.

[Echo Talon]

oh.. yea on that you're right, they may have higher numbers because of it, and because people flipped over to see if the Olympics were on. good point.

[Echo Talon]

"Mad Money" is absolutely the worst show on TV...Well maybe not the worst...but darn close.

That guy is crazy! don't know who people can watch that! :D

[octobersky]

And GlaxoSmithKline, too! They'll be bringing in Tums by the truckload.

[Echo Talon]

i think "The Chris Mathews Show" and "Big Idea Donnie Deutch" or whatever are the worst! well Olberman too :D

[LoveDoc]

"Facts are inconvenient things to liberals, so they just ignore them and make up pretend facts to feel better"

Well put and I'm OK with that for the Daily Kos followers of the world.

But in light of Olbermann's repeatedly, and might I add DELUSIONALLY, trumpeting of his 'soaring ratings vs Orally's' the deafening silence from the mainstream media is very telling.

LoveDoc

PS Not to mention disturbing...

"Senator Clinton respects him and thinks he is smart and effective," said a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines.

"Rupert has respect for her political skills and for the hard work that she’s done as a Senator," said an executive vice president at News Corp., Gary Ginsberg.

[Ranald S. MacKenzie]

I agree that Matthews and Donnie Deutsch blow, but at least Matthews gave us one of the greatest moments in TV history when Zell gave him the what for during the GOP convention. LOL. That was priceless.

[LoveDoc]

Hillary cannot win.

You heard it here....er...last.

So, let everyone who wants to endorse her do so as loudly and proudly as they can.

The only thing that's more music to my ears than 'Run, Hillary, Run' is...

... 'Run, JESSE, Run.'

LOL!

[Enterprise]

Speaking of delusional, George Noory and his guest Gladys the numbers lady are cooing over Katie Couric taking over at CBS. Barf!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

FOX is neither fair or balanced!

ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX
all major losers in the real world!

[Echo Talon]

I agree that Matthews and Donnie Deutsch blow, but at least Matthews gave us one of the greatest moments in TV history when Zell gave him the what for during the GOP convention. LOL. That was priceless.

I believe that was on Hardball, not "The Chris Mathews Show", same guy different show. :)

[BlueNgold]

According to DU and Kos - O'Reilly was all but dead ... they were just waiting for it to be official.
Oops.

[flaglady47]

Where's Tucker Carlson's show on MSNBC in the ratings?

[Echo Talon]

hmmm, i don't see it on the list... has that show been on the air long enough for the length of this survey? Start 12/26/2005

[MNJohnnie]

Maybe on the whole list. This is only the top part of the list. You can see the whole thing if you click on the link

[Echo Talon]

Since its debut June 13, the bow-tied conservative's show has averaged 201,000 viewers, 25 percent fewer than its time-slot predecessor, "The Abrams Report," had in May, according to Nielsen Media Research.

[Echo Talon]

MSNBC will shift Tucker Carlson's low-rated talk show out of prime time in much of the country to 11 p.m. EDT, with ex-Fox News Channel anchor Rita Cosby filling his time slot.

tuckers show was moved to 11pm... maybe thats why it isn't on the list this list only shows (M-F 6am-11pm)

[nutmeg]

FoxFan ping!

See #10 for an easy-to-read format of this chart

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

[LoveDoc]

The left threw fits...freaking fits when the Washington Post DARED hire a conservative blogger.

A blogger.

(And this was before the plagiarism charges surfaced.)

Yet, where is the fury over the fact that CBS hired another same ole-same ole liberal to be the "3rd most powerful person in news"?

Set aside for a moment, the growing reality that ALL 3 newscasts are headed for irrelevancy.

It's still an important post and to not even consider a right-center journalist is just another bitch-slap in an endless string of signs of utter contempt demonstrated by the mainstreamedia towards conservatives...
