[Keith in Iowa]

pMSNBC has ratings envy!!

[Mr. Mojo]

Battle? Puh-leeze. Fox is annihilating those idiots.

[noutopia]

Fox wins !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thatdewd]

The Fox News Channel and MSNBC have been fighting it out for the hearts and minds of American television viewers.

Looking at msnbc's ratings, it doesn't look like much of a battle.

Fox is ripping them apart - Rick Leventhal and Greg Kelly alone are worth MSNBCs entire group of embedded reporters.

While I'm all for FOX's trouncing MSNBC in the ratings, I would like to hear them (FOX) make SOME mention of what's up with Whorealdo (right before they can his a$$).

[dixiechick2000]

MSNBC is the Republican Guard of television...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Yes, they spent a lot of time with both tonight!

Much more than I have seen before!

[Joe Boucher]

I wasn't aware that msnbc was owned by microsoft(the evil empire run by the devil himself).
No wonder I never watch the network except to watch Imus when I can.
FOX, thanks Mr. Murdoch.

I haven't heard anything new about Geraldo other than Fox was removing him...did they? Or is he "all the way to Baghdad"-bound?

He's now in Damascas. Our troops will be along in a few months. :)

[Minty]

Like Ollie says: "Fox Rocks!" If PMSNBC wants to out Gerardo, I say keep him.

[rintense]

Exactly! CNN and MSNBC aren't fit to lick FNC's boots. FNC has the best military experts and exclusive access to info from the Pentagon. The soldiers love FNC- as they have stated themselves on screen.

I totally agree. Leventhal's and Kelly's reports have been absolutely stunning at times! I've e-mailed FNC several times with glowing comments.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

MSNBC is a joke.

[TADSLOS]

Fox : MSNBC as 3rd ID : Medina Division

[stanz]

I will still watch Rob Morrison - -eye candy.

[Cincinatus]

MSNBC also broadcast a promotional spot, vowing that it would never "compromise military security or jeopardize a single American life."

What did they think they were doing with that Peter Arnett "interview"?
