FNC's Ratings Continue to Climb, MSNBC's and Olbermann's Fall
NewsBusters ^ | July 28, 2009 | Noel Sheppard

While July has been another banner month for the Fox News Channel, the good folks at MSNBC might want to rethink their current lineup.

In the all important demographic group aged 25 to 54, FNC was up 48 percent in total daily viewers, and an astounding 70 percent in prime time compared to July 2008.

By contrast, MSNBC's take of this demo was unchanged in prime time and down seven percent in total daily viewers.

The liberal network's top personality Keith Olbermann saw his July demo numbers decline to their lowest level since December 2007.

I think he is the guy who claimed he did cocain and had gay sex with GW Bush in the back of a limo.

MSNBC is a nightly freak-show. Maddow has a higher sperm count than Olbermann and that Schultz guy is beneath pathetic. As for Chrissy, if spitting and sweating were Olympic events he’d win multiple gold....

LOL ! First time I read this sentence, I thought it said "down to seven viewers"

I would have believed it

Olberman is unwatchable. My upstairs neighbor has him on every night, so like it or not I have to hear him, and he is an utter lunatic.

Hitching your wagon to Obama is having serious consequences now. Pass the bubbly, Mrs Peel.

Try loudspeakers laying on a sound mat (downstairs neighbors did nothing wrong :-) ) pointed at the ceiling...playing whatever they don’t like. Loud.

Fox is still a loser until they decide between fair and balanced and truth versus lies. Fox still gives way too much time to what they know is out and out lies. How about Fox standing up for the American people? Screw Rat vs GOP.

Until they quit straddling the fence, America will still lose.

How can they still be declining? How can you go below zero? Do people call up and take back a viewing from last summer or something?

Oh, I tolerate it only because, due to the acoustics of the building, everyone has no choice but to listen to Limbaugh when I have him on for three hours a day. :) Plus all the acid rock, film scores and loud rock I play.

How could Olbermann’s ratings fall? Did one of his gerbils die?

If Fox were to stick Rush Limbaugh in a bi-weekly half hour slot I imagine their ratings for that evening would skyrocket through the roof. It will never happen of course but it sure would be hilarious having Rush comment on the day’s news and events-especially after one of the Keynan’s newsconferences

He is the guy with the pooper-scooper who follows closely behind Obama and democrats, and who eats "it" all up. Other people would just gather and dispose of the droppings, but, Olberman just happily consumes all of "it" just to dispense most of it back at his audience on his nightly program.

Yeah, but his weight is up. His rear looks like two hogs in a burlap sack.
