I am really impressed with Beck performance in the demo. Shows he connects with younger viewers.

Didn’t FNC used to have just a tiny share of the market, and CNN dominated all the other news networks?

Now we need to shut down the liberal networks so that they have an equal number of networks to their percentage of the population. The FCC should never allow for so many liberal networks.

Can you imagine what it would be like if FNC was not around. So many more people would not have the full story and would probably be good democratic cult followers.

Imagine if Lou Dobbs finally takes enough scorn from CNN viewers and moves to FOX.

Put him in Sheps time slot and really watch the numbers skyrocket.

I wonder how many lunches the FOX people have had with him recently hinting that a lucrative offer is there anytime he wants it.

Beck no longer advertises for General Motors; his choice not to support the government-run car manufacturer. Hannity still advertises for General Motors. Just saying.

If FNC put Beck in Shep’s time slot he’d beat O’Reilly. ...if not immediately, then eventually.

FOX should give Beck the repeat slot that O’Reilly now has. O’Reilly is scared of Beck — that’s why he keeps having him on his show, co-opting the competition and getting a ratings boost out of it.

Beck uses off-the-wall humor to make his points, which is a welcome relief from the constant screaming frustration we get from Hannity and O’Reilly.

O’Reilly is not worth two hours of airtime.

Hell, I’d be happy if they put anyone ELSE in the Slep’s time slot. My TV remote gets a workout every day at 2 and 6 pm... Central.

When Shemp comes on I switch to spit-boy Matherws to see what the moonbat talking points are.

Fox would get more total viewership if they would start a second news channel, one a little more cerebral and less shouting, more complete investigative reporting, but still conservative: Cavuto, Bair, Chris Wallace, Megan Kelly would make a great stable...I’d be on FOX2 almost all the time if they would do it.

I'd like to see it. It would certainly put an end to Beck's appearances on BOR's show. The phony civility would be over. Even now, BOR mocks Beck and attempts to portray him as a lunatic. No doubt he's scared.

Wow, I knew that BOR was dominating his time slot but I didn’t realize he was pummeling the competition at the Communist News Network and DNCNBC so badly, especially CNN and that fraud Campbell Brown.

You really think that matters? I don't know.

Back when I lived in Detroit I dated a girl who was an account rep for Campbell-Ewald, GM's Corporate advertiser and the only thing that mattered to them was numbers.: Quantity and quality

If GM isn't advertising with Beck, its probably GM's doing and not Beck's.

If I were to learn it WAS his doing: He would become a personal hero.
