Since this was only about O'Reilly, it's hard to tell if the total viewership went down, or just the Factor was affected.

But you're right - BOR needs to get out of the studio and tour the parts of the country that real people live in, instead of sitting in his studio and being an insider. Term limits for broadcasters?

And Greta just needs to go away, and take the Hannity and Colmes WWF show with her.

Actually O'Reilly is beating the pants off all the other cable shows.

May 4th: O'Reilly had 456K viewers in the 25-40 demo, which *trounced" all his competition. Paula Zahn had 193K on CNN; Countdown on MSNBC had 141K; Nancy Grace on Headline 126K; CNBC had the closest audience at 206K.

Overall viewership: O'Reilly had three times the viewers of any competitor. 2.2 million, vs 696 thousand for Zahn; MSNBC and HLN were even worse.

But still he could stand to stray outside his box a bit more.

I never really understood all the excitement about Greta - she's obviously a very bright person, but I just can't get all worked up about lawyers.

Hannity and Combes in my opinion, is the only show of the three, which is genuinely challenging and fun.

BOR needs to get out of the studio and tour...

When BOR was a local in Boston, I heard the camera crews hated to out on assignment with him. Now that he's national,
and on radio as well,...well, good luck to the crews, should he take your advice.

When Greta first started on FNC, I tuned in. She wasn't bad. Then that Lacey/Scott Peterson thing hit, and she became
unwatchable. At least to me. I guess it brings in the viewers, so everybody does the tabloidian show.

I used to listen to Radio Canada. They mentioned, a couple of years ago, that a Montreal-based true crime
paper/magazine was closing, since that's all that's on cable news nowadays.
