Looks like Beck sustained some losses in this period, becoming last on FOX.

[Col Frank Slade]

Send Behar some flowers for being dead last.

That is what I was thinking..Spitzer didn’t even make the radar. Expect a few Conservative shows to come on CNN in 2011

Watch for fake conservatives to show up. Lisa Murkowski, Mike Castle and other unemployed RINOs will show up. They are technically "Republicans" but will still be useful in attacking Demint or Palin. Murkowski is the perfect choice as she already has a deep grudge against the Tea Party and Palin, but can be civil to guys like Romney and Graham. Remember the main goal for the Progressives is to offer us another 2008 with a Romney -vs- Obama run. That way they get RomneyCare or ObamaCare and they don't care either way.

I am still a Beck advocate, but his ratings soared when he was focused on picking apart the czars and the seedy characters in ACORN and the administration. Lately, I am less inclined to tune in, as it is just not the same ‘must see’ tv that it was for the first year.

[USS Alaska]

Wow, O’Reilly milked the Juan Williams thing for all it was worth. He’s sooooo far above everyone else for understanding the average American’s mixture of entertainment and politics wants. Hats off to a guy that I really can’t stand to watch.

I too, struggle to watch BOR, but can do it for a short period of time and depending on the guest.

Also, not included in that number, was the 2 million that tuned in to watch his 11 PM rerun.

He said the other day that a third of his audience are demonRATs and only 41% are pubbies with the rest being indys.

[CitizenM]

I bet you can easily account for half a million “viewers” nationwide with restaurants, real estate offices, doctor offices, airports, etc where it is playing nonstop...

I don't know if this is still the case but, a couple of years ago the TV's in the clinic and other buildings on a military base in VA (FT. Lee) were all tuned to CNN. I used to get so upset because the news was so slanted against the military. I couldn't understand why they selected CNN...and had signs on all the TV's not to switch the channel. Go figure!

[stefanbatory]

that’s cuz it’s the state-controlled media...duh!

:P

[Halls]

Beck has lost some and one of them is me. I might still watch him now and then, but I think he’s kind of crazy. He’s just a little weird. I also don’t like his agnostic views referring to God a lot. It just has gotten creepy. I loved him when he was funnier and less serious. I appreciate his cause but he’s strange. I think this is why he’s list viewers.

[jazminerose]

Seriously.

Our local Golds has a bank of TVs, one always tuned to FNC.

Beck has slipped below Hannity?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I might not agree with Mormons, or consider them to be Christians, but I would not consider them as agnostics.

[mad_as_he$$]

Wow Madcow can't even hold over Olberdork’s gym full of viewers.

[Halls]

Exactly!!! I loved it when he’d start the show with, “Hello Comrades!” he’s getting to serious, too agnotic religious, etc. He needs to get back to what he was like the first 6 months of his show.

[caww]

Not surprisingly, I've stopped watching on a regular basis as Beck brought too much of his personal religious beliefs to the show instead of being informative on History and Political talking points. Everything’s laced now with religious references. I go to other sources when I want to be preached to...and it certainly wouldn't be Beck by any stretch of the imagination.

[Halls]

I’m not talking about Becks faith. I’m talking about how he talks about God on the show. He says we need to get back to God, whoever that is to us. That is agnostic. He may be Mormon in his personal faith but what he says on his show is weird to me. When he started saying that I started tuning in less.

[MindBender26]

Beck is hurt badly by him time slot. 5:00, most Cs are still working or commuting.

Think about it this way. He is on at 5, and killing the 8 and 9 PM MSNBC and CNN shows! The HUT (Homes Using Television) is much larger at 8 and 9, but Beck still beats them!

[Halls]

Yep, the religious overtone is off for me, considering I disagree with what he says about God on his show. He needs to stick to being what he was when he first started the show.

[popdonnelly]

Behar has worked hard to get to last place.

[Inspectorette]

We enjoy Beck when he’s on O’Reilly’s show. The goofy banter between them is hilarious, but we find his own show boring, and end up turning off the TV.

[ken5050]

We were dicussing that a few days ago. Of late, I tape Beck..then play it back..watch the parts I want...
