Is he the same guy as the SlapChop dude? B/c if he did the news and didn’t like it, he could just chop up his notes or throw them over his shoulder into the sink. That commercial is annoying and amusing at the same time, if that’s possible...

“Why was our most beloved candidate foisted on Katie Couric the freaking airhead that all of American can plainly see?”

because even 5 million is more than FNC. I don’t know...Sarah only had 2 months to go before the entire country and Couric was supposed to be easy. Gibson was the one who challenged Obama on capital gains taxes. McCain was smart enough not to have her go on NBC, especially since Russert was no longer with us.

O’Reilly draws several million viewers nightly if you add together his replays, despite being in many fewer homes than the broadcast networks. And Fox News viewers are much better educated than the broadcast news viewers.

Five million? Last I knew, they numbered at least 69,498,215.

my apologies, i obviously meant at least 5 million, buti suspect your figure is on the low side as well. /sigh

For what it's worth, Chairman MaObama received 69,498,215 votes in the '08 election (the most recent national moron census). ;^)

NBC 7,960,000
ABC 7,150,000
+ CBS 5,180,000

= 20,290,000...

Is about the same as the population of New York state.

Now, I’ll admit I tune in to the quaint national news now and then, to see what David Brinkley or Howard K. Smith have to say. But it has been a while.

What........?

Oh.

"Well, the pyrite standard, anyway."

HA!!

You do know Danny Boy Rather's at it again, right?
This iteration appears on HDNet M-Fri (IIRC) at 7PM CST.

Anyone subscribing to DircTV's high definition programming, *here*, knows all too well what the slime-ball's [been] up to since his unceremonious detachment from SeeBS: Same ol' America bashing shtick.
The SOB really is sickening.

Getting rid of one Liberal-Socialist louse, these days, only means lice will pop up somewhere else.
It's actually become a genuine modus operandi from the leftist quisling broadcast mediots.

Still, glad to hear.
Perky Katie's always occupied the proverbial network outhouse/basement; so, this just reiterates her firm grasp on last. :^)

"Let’s see...Katie’s being paid $15 million/yr to pull in just over 5 million viewers...methinks someone is overpaid..."

So Katie is costing CBS at least $3.00 per viewer plus whatever other expenses associated with producing the show versus whatever advertising revenue the show generates. I wonder if Katie is making any money for CBS? How soon before CBS news officially becomes a "State Operated and Controlled Media" source because they need a bailout?

I thought the all-time low was her Palin interview (badda boom!)

Nah..the all time low was when they hired her.

The die was cast.

Katie Colon and Letterman will keep attacking Sarah Palin until CBS closes its doors.

>> Still a lot more viewers than any show on Fox news or any other non-MSM news show. The influence of the MSM continues to be dominant. <<

Not that many more: O’Reilly got 4.7 million viewers on Tuesday, combining his first two airings. Americans watched 18 million hours of Fox News between 5 and 12 PM; they watched 2.6 million hours of Katie Couric.

It’s still enough viewers to elect Couric’s candidates.

It was the McPain team who set up that interview to fail, wasn’t it?

I have no doubt about it.

Can't prove it though!
