Wouldn't it be a kick if Lou Dobbs went over to FOX?
HAAAA! Yeah that would be killer.
Also note that a now show for Glenn Beck although he may be too new to show. I wouldn't be surprised if he crashes and burns though. He's spread himself too thin IMO.

Lou Dobbs is democrat a**hole and a Bush hater.

You are correct. Larry King is CNNs highest rated show.
So... the REPEAT of O'Reilly does better than ANYTHING CNN puts out?
Yeah, that is pretty cool! But O'reilly is on at a really ackward time. 5pm is when people are trying to get home, so I'd imagine the rerun numbers would be pretty high.
Cable still has such a teeny, tiny percent of viewers. I remember getting a call from Nielson asking if the network I was working for was "off the air" because it was only registering 2 million viewers...and that was daytime.
HHHAAAA! YES, the REPEAT of O'Reily gets MORE viewers then anything on MSNBC or CNN
Ailes 'Fuming' at Fox News Channel
Wow Fox is killing them in every time slot. I'd only ever seen the prime time numbers. Fox is way ahead around the clock, and not just from 8-11PM.
ahem...sorry, I meant "awkward".
We should flood email CNN - 'you guys can't even place above RE-RUNS of FNC shows?'
Yeah, we'll really know we're winning when Brit is at the top of the list.
Which is irrelevant because we are not comparing cable to anything BUT other cable shows. If you want to compare apples to oranges how about the fact that the Top 5 Conservative Talk Radio hosts reach more people each day then any of the nightly news casts?
From the looks of the ratings it seems Rita Cosby going to MSNBC was a good move for FNC.
