Has the influence of cable news peaked?

That's the conclusion of PEWs Project for Excellence in Journalism. According to their 2011 State of the News Media study all four cable networks saw their prime-time audiences fall in 2010.

MSNBC, Fox, HLN, and CNN lost between 39,000 and 331,000 viewers as cable -- the fourth most popular platform for news -- showed signs of becoming less important.

Fox News lost a whopping 11% of its prime time viewers (234,000 viewers), but that's not even the worst performance of the cablers.

See who lost the most viewers >>

Bill O is not a Conservative.

But he is NPD: Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder.

The narcissist is described as being excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity.

Narcissistic personality disorder is closely linked to self-centeredness.

Sound like anyone else we all know and despise?

Cable TV is so expensive and there so much of it that I don’t turn on to watch. Land line telephones costs are sky high too.

I don't watch Mr. Interrupter for seeing him. I do enjoy his regulars like Mary Katherine Hamm, Bernie Goldberg, Dennis Miller, Laura Ingraham etc.etc. I simply put up with his BS to see the more interesting parts of his show.

Its gotta be O’Reilly. I could watch him before, but he seems to have gone off the deep-end with his simplistic explanations for everything. He also can’t let someone speak for more than 3 sentences without having to re-state the comment in his own words.

Plus he goes on to say "I'm just a simple man", which is fine, but then he goes on to prove it 6 different ways.

Either you are challenged or simply a trouble maker? I give you benefit of doubt and put you in first category....

They have no tea party or social conservatives on the panel, they only speak of them.

Hope that clears it up for you...I can speak slower if it would help:)

Sorry to see that your thought horizon is so narrow that it is comprised of only two points. Most people entertain more than two possibilities.

One could argue, of course, that the inability to think in terms other than dichotomies is an indicator of a limited brain --- limited to one bit of information, to be exact.

But I am not going to argue --- lest you may accidentally improve your opinion of me --- and I would not want to spoil your of pleasure in feeling superior. [ Should you take a break from basking the glow of your greatness, however, look up the notion of overreaching statement --- the kind which you routinely employ and shoot yourself in the foot in the process. ]

Have a good night and say hi to George for me.

Everybody lost my viewership.

I cancelled cable last year. Buh-bye!

I am a rabid Glenn Beck fan and would still be watching his show nightly on DVR if I had not cancelled cable completly.

Glenn Beck is a huge asset. O’Rude has jumped the shark. Beck should be in his time slot.

We never watch so called TV “news” here.

If “television”....(note the word), did have actual televised news, a panarama of cameras ONLY, each with it’s own audio (such as a camcorder)would be parked at the scene of the event, for viewing as such at different angles.
NO COMMENTATORS NEEDED. “Camcorder” event only.

Real American citizens are not fed information.

Sorry if I jumped to the wrong conclusion? I thought you were attacking my grammar.

To quote the late great Frank Burns (M.A.S.H.) I am only paranoid because everybody is against me

No offense taken; thank you for your courtesy and for clearing things up.

We'll have a better luck on some other thread, I am sure.

TQ.
