what is the statistical zero viewers number? (ala donahue)
Someone from CNN should be winging their way to Pakistan to sign this guy up.
Hard to believe that 2MM people suffered through the drone of Christianne Armanpours vocal commentary.
CNN has a lot of airports. Do they count all those individual screens?
Binny has his own show on CNN? LOL!
It actually was a well-done chronology of Osama's rise and fall... They're repeating it on Saturday night and Sunday night.
Wolf certainly didn't hack Drudge. He's near the bottom of the ratings pile.
He's been on their payroll for a long time.
I was one of those who "suffered" through it. Actually, it was rather interesting and definitely frightening. At the end, it was emphasized that Bin Laden has gotten a fatwah from a cleric that clears him to kill 10 million Americans probably by using a nuclear device. We've been warned to convert to Islam, we haven't done it, so now we must die. I thought the whole show was extremely chilling. It was made clear that Bin Laden is just plain nuts.
Armanpour did a pretty good job. She even allowed a comment that Bin Laden wasn't killed when he could have been because one of Clinton's flunkies noticed a swingset near where they were going to lob cruise missiles.
Speaking of ratings, I just read this tonight on Media Bistro:
"On Tuesday, HLN talker Glenn Beck had his best night since launching in May. In the demo, he averaged 177,000 at 7pm, beating CNN, MSNBC and CNBC. He had another 146,000 at 9pm, beating MSNBC and CNBC. Among total viewers, he had 349,000 at 7pm and 380,000 at 9pm."

However, your synopsis of the program intrigues me and perhaps I'll watch when it's re-broadcast.
"he's been on their payroll for along time" Wrong.
CNN has been on his payroll for a long time.
She also made (let slip?) a comment placing Al Qaeda in Iraq. I almost choked.
I took a screenshot when I saw it. Thanks for posting this. Sure to upset lefties.
These numbers show that the American people are awakening to the facts that our country is in danger of being destroyed. This trend, whether heralded on CNN or Fox News, will continue unabated. MSNBC has no clue and will continue to wallow in the cellar with the scum and vermin Democrat Party. What the American voter really needs to do is to totally destroy the Democrat "Traitor/Treason" Party this fall. The Democrats are guilty of outright treason and should be treated accordingly. The "History" channel has been showing some frightening footage of the horrors of 911. This coupled with "United 93" and "World Trade Center" are telling the American peodple we are at war and under attack. Americans are finally beginning to face reality!!! American Jews better do the same, because the Democrat Party is no longer your friend. Some of the biggest USA Jew haters are right at home in the Democrat "Jew Hating" Party!!! Wake up sons of Abraham before some idiot left-wing Democrat causes you to lose your head and have your family and children slaughtered.
Man, MSNBC is doing awful. Olbermann leads because he's got his DU fan club.
