Hey, Opus thinks she is hot too.
Good strategy.
Not hard to do, considering that clown show FNC had going last night.
LLS
I was actually watching CNN more often than FNC last night. I switched back and forth but CNN was just better. Fox’ numbers were all messed up for most of the evening, and CNN’s layout was much easier to read. I mostly ignored the commentary on both!
So much for the anticipated Karl Rove ratings boost.
Count me among the CNN viewers.
The FauxNews propaganda machine has become almost unwatchable.
Their election night maps and knowledge is superb. I have been toying with sending them an email thank you but I don't know.
has someone sent this data to O’Bloviate?
Lou Dobbs was making fun of CNN analyst Jeffery Toobin today on Wolfie Blitzer’s show. Dobbs calls the analysts “savants” and he was needling Toobin about being certain that Super Tuesday would decisively determine both party candidates. You get more straight talk about illegal immigration in five minutes of watching Dobbs than you could glean from watching Fox News for a month.
I get all my news on-line, and NOT at any of the cable news web sites, and on talk radio.
The CNN coverage was better.
(OMG, did I just say that?)
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch.
Take that Faux News.
Hey, Opus thinks she is hot too.
I dumped FNC a year ago.. don’t miss them at all. (at least I know why CNN has their heads up their arses, fnc held so much promise but frittered it away with analysis that was woefully weak to say the least)
More Laurie Dhue and less lecturing Conservatives would help Fox News.
Honestly I would have to say that as far as their election night coverage goes plus the geust they had on that CNN does a better job than FNC. I preferred watching CNN in 2006 on election night. That being said I love Meghan Kelly.
I gave up on Fox because it’s turned into the amateur hour. It’s not so much their politics that bugs me it’s their turn towards becoming the News of the Weird. I used to put it on while I was getting ready for work. One morning, during the twenty minutes it was on while I was getting ready, they had four stories. Two were on Britney, one on Paris, and one on Anna Nicole. I figured there was nothing on that network I needed to know to conduct my life. However, they’ll probably have an update on the chick that disappeared in Aruba this week. What’s next? Al Capone’s vault?
I watched CNN also and that is something I never do. I don’t Fox anymore. I get my news from the net.
Britt’s commend that MN was a “small consolation prize” for Romney was nasty and uncalled for. I caught that one and turned him off for good.
Fox has been in the tank for McCain and Huckster from the beginning. Fred Barnes is a goofball and I can’t stand him anymore.
Note that CNN pulled ahead sharply starting at 7 pm, when the polls closed and the first hard numbers started coming in. I'd expect to see that continue in the rest of the primaries and the general election.
Aside from the question of bias, the stated goal of Fox News was to bring the talk radio model to television. That's entertaining, even informative, and it's good for ratings. CNN consistently draws more viewers at some point in each day, but FNC usually wins in the ratings because they keep viewers around longer. But when viewers want straightforward facts fast, they're more likely to trust a more traditional style of newscast.
I also strongly suspect that CNN benefitted more than FNC from the reduced coverage on the Big 4 broadcast networks.
