That's because Beck is on at an hour when everyone west of the Mississippi is still at work and everyone in the east is stuck in traffic.
Funny story... there’s a whole cadre of liberals in my office place, and they constantly bitch about FoxNews. They say they lie, obfuscate, pick your Liberal meme.
Every morning I go into the break room, grab a cup of coffee, and turn on the TV. When surfing through the channels, I notice that FoxNews is conspicuously absent. Curious, I go into the TV menu and notice that someone actually took FoxNews out of the TV lineup. You can directly punch the channel number in, but you can’t “surf” to it.
So I put FoxNews back in the lineup, and a few days later I repeat the process and notice it’s out of the lineup again. Feeling a little miffed, I go back, re-enable FoxNews and go one step further and remove CNN, MSNBC, CNNHN, etc. from the lineup.
Wouldn’t you know it, the next day we all get an email from the boss requesting that the TV be left alone from now on.
The next morning I come in, same thing, FoxNews out of the lineup, but I didn’t change anything this time. I told the boss, but he seemed to think it was a childish and stupid thing and not worth bringing up.
So now I just turn on the TV, go to FoxNews and leave it on that channel when I turn off the TV. I’ve heard grumbling from the Libs who go in there when it’s on, but none of them dare argue with me about politics. They know I’d take ‘em down a peg.
why does the likes of Hannity never address social issues too like the homosexual agenda?
he doesn’t have to slam their agenda but point out and show their parades.
Everyone of them are in it for the money it seems.
I can’t stand that Shemp is beating out Beck. Shemp’s lib bias has been much more obvious of late, even in his coverage of the news at 7pm.
Beck is hurt by fewer sets turned on (Lower HUT) and the competition of the kids and female-focused shows, such as Oprah, the Judges, cartoons, etc.
Later in the evening, Shep and >, it’s time for serious news and analysis.
Yeah, but you’ll have to admit that Behar is a great fund raiser for Republicans! ;)
I don't think the number of people watching are anywhere near the noted numbers - it's more than likely that the same people are watching more than one show, possibly all the shows on each station. Therefore, O'Reilly is top of the heap - plus he has another million or so watching three hours later. A million less continue watching as Hannity comes on, etc.
Beck’s TV show is on at 5PM in the East. This is a bad hour. I only get to see him once or twice a week.
I’ve heard him say such things but didn’t know the Mormonism reference. Weird. I will pray for Beck. He has such a talent to lead.
You’ve just explained why our family doesn’t watch Beck that often these days. That, and the constant doom and gloom without any practical ideas for how improve the situation. An hour of that is really just about too much for us. (Except for “be sure to record this show!”) I suspect he’s a good man, with good intentions, and the rally he headed was outstanding.
More brains and wit in his little finger than in all of O'Blowhard, Mascara Shep, and Hannity combined.
Shep makes me feel dirty - like I’m participating in something unwholesome.
The only time he is a good reporter is during fast action breaking news. He does summaries of the sitution that are good.
Compared to Savage, Beck is a bright-eyed optimist.
Red Eye is Very, Very funny. Probably funnier late at night, though.
Love the list — nice to see O’Reilly at the very top and, oops, Joyless Behar at the very bottom................
How appropriate!
Re: “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.”
****************
I’m not crazy about O’Reilly either but can sit thru most of his shows — and he’s right that a portion of his viewers are libs — at least the moderate libs — I know a couple of them who really like him and see him as truly ‘fair and balanced.’
RE: “Unfortunately that creep Olberpuke has over a million idiots watching him. He oughta be in the bottom of the barrel list! Beck beats him by just a few 100 thousand! :(”
******************
Beck has bad time slots in the So. Cal. area — 2 p.m. and repeats again at 11 p.m. — too early or late for many viewers. If he were on somewhere in between I’m sure he’d do a lot better in the ratings. There may be a gazillion lefties here but there are also a lot of people here watching Fox!
