Glenn Beck beat O’really!!!
Maybe he should send them a sympathy card.
Wheres the HA, HA GUY :)
Was O’Reilly even on that night? Wasn’t that Juan Williams’ turn?
If a lib was the host, you can bet that a bunch of people would have tuned out, even though O’Reilly isn’t much different, for my money.
Beck is pushing the envelope, O’Reilly isn’t.
Yep, just looked it up BOR had a replacement that night...oh well, my bad.
ok that pretty much killed the thread
Just imagine if they gave Glenn Ted Baxter’s time slot!!
I don’t understand how O’reilly has any viewers at all.
He interviews the same eight or so people over and over and over and over.
From time to time he has on the porno word babe.
The body language segment.
Trivia knowledge of various Fox employees.
He breaks no news ever.
He uncovers nothing.
I learn more form watching cartoons.
That’s gonna piss O’reilly off. Look for him to slam Beck for the Mao dressed phone attendant.
Good observation of these lame elements - what’s the appeal? I guess he’s an “institution” now, and the corniness of these segments is overlooked by the average viewer. I mean, those trivia contests with the other Fox hosts - I can’t believe that is a regular feature.
I like him, but I can’t help thinking that someday soon Beck is gonna say something or do something that’s gonna cross the line and get him fired.
Maybe that’s what’s so appealing about his show.
LOL O’reilly is becoming Andy Rooney.
Why is that?
Your “bad” is attempting to shift focus by portraying Beck as the enemy of O’Reilly rather than as the enemy of Obama.
My bad just means I gave the wrong info: Beck did not beat BOR in the ratings; Beck did beat BOR’s show. I looked at the ratings and saw Beck’s show had higher ratings than BOR, assumed that BOR was on that night, and then found out he had a guest host.
My bad just means I misreported the actual scenario.
Ditto.
In all fairness to BOR’s show, Juan Williams was filling in Friday and poor Juan is a terrible reader of the teleprompter...even worse at it than Laura Ingraham... who I think is smart, but when she fills in she gets that teleprompter look about her and is very boring to follow... so throw in Juan, who is not all that popular, and you have a shoe-in for Glenn to beat him.. BTW Glenn hit over 3 million on Thursday and was just below BOR who WAS on that night.
