It’s a nine-percent bump in the two weeks since Anita Dunn’s whine heard ’round the world — in terms of overall audience.
Among the coveted 25-54 demographic? A 14-percent bump.
Good work, Barry. People keep telling me that this PR offensive by the White House benefits both sides but I don’t see how that’s true. If the goal is to contain Fox by framing the stories it breaks — Van Jones, ACORN, etc — as somehow illegitimate, then every tenth of a point that Fox’s ratings go up undermines that goal.
There will come a point where other news nets will follow Fox’s lead simply for business reasons, ideology or no ideology; follow the link, eyeball the list of top 20 news shows, and ask yourself how far we are from that point, really.
To put it in perspective: “Red Eye,” at 3 a.m., is beating Campbell Brown at 8 p.m. on CNN in the demo.
(Worse, perhaps: Anderson Cooper is getting beat by … re-runs of Nancy Grace.) CNN’s made a noble attempt at semi-objective coverage in primetime while FNC and MSNBC resort to bombthrowers, but this experiment must be near its end.
I wonder what they’ll end up putting in the 8 p.m. slot. Some sort of updated version of “Crossfire,” perhaps, with a new, younger, edgier cast? Andrea Tantaros versus Meghan McCain on a nightly basis? I’d watch.

Keep talking BO.
Lol, I predicted a 25% bump in Fox’s ratings, but thought I was exaggerating. Maybe not, because it’ll be a few more weeks before this settles down.

I’m still afraid he’ll be able to intimidate potential advertisers. Almost all big accounts have to deal with the Government is some way or another. They can’t affort to be seen as hostile.
How did it ever come to this in America?
My answer, short and sweet, the lefties got hold of the schools and the sheople are too ignorant to notice.
If every freeper turned all TVs in house on to FOX and left them on 24/7, I wonder how much the ratings would jump!
I wish that Roger Ailes would sign up Laura Ingram (sp) and Ann Coulter for shows that run back- to back.
Then Fox would be smoking!!!!
Ann Coulter is great. I like Laura, she’s nice but I admit she sounds a little dry on my radio.
lol, that wouldn't work...but if you bought a really, really BIG television and kept it on 24/7 Fox's rating would go up.
Just like he’s already made NRA Salesman of the Year, unintended consequences.
bwaaaaaahhhhh!
Ouch!
Worse, perhaps: Anderson Cooper is getting beat by … re-runs of Nancy Grace.
Double Ouch!
At least Bozo isn’t losing any sleep over them.

Here is what I do, when I sleep I have my Dish network receiver set up so it automatically tunes into FOX at 2am when FNF airs, and it records Beck.
Dish network knows of course what I am watching and they share that information.
Prezzadizzle heez da shizzle wit da sizzle;
Mmm, mmm, mmm: dat beez Rakki 0'Bozo.

Something featuring those two and Michelle Malkin would be great. Maybe a show where the three collaborate. Since they all already have busy careers, they might not want five day per week TV responsibilities.
Anne, Laura, Michelle plus Liz cheney.......add a way out liberal to ridicule and call it “A Conservative VIEW”.
The list, ping
