A Fox News special on Sarah Palin ran over the weekend to big numbers, bringing in 6.2 Million total viewers on 3 airings (Saturday 8PM, and Sunday 8PM, 11PM EST.
On Saturday, the first-run of the Palin doc brought in 2.7 million total viewers and 673,000 in the advertisers demo, making it easily the most watched program of the night on any of the top 4 cable news networks (FNC, CNN, MSNBC, HLN). The 2.7 Million viewers was a big jump from the 1.6 Million viewers that the network brought in for both the hour before and after the special that night.
On Sunday, a repeat of the special ran at 8PM and brought in 2.1 Million viewers and 606,000 in the advertisers demo. This made it the top rated program for the night in both categories on the top 4 networks . An 11PM repeat attracted another 1.4 Million viewers.
I watched it again on Sunday because we lost power for awhile on Saturday night, and I missed some of it (remnants of Tropical Storm Hanna).
I saw it, and it was interesting. Part of it was filmed when she was pregnant with Trig, and the parts with her family were very sweet: Todd making sandwiches for the children; Sarah asking Piper what she wanted to be when she grew up (”baby sitter!”); and then Gov. Palin at her desk in the state house being very competent.
Do you know if Fox News has an online video showing this?
Greta seems awfully positive about Palin. Anybody think she might be a closet PUMA who might be in McCain’s column?
“Greta seems awfully positive about Palin. Anybody think she might be a closet PUMA who might be in McCain’s column?’
Well, her husband is one...
Money talks. Greta and Chris Wallace know that Fox’s audience is largely Conservatives and Independents. They have realized that their future success is largely dependent on big market share, so they will dish whatever brings and holds viewers.
Mr. Greta has stated he’s voting McCain/Palin. It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Greta herself was leaning our direction as well.
Hopefully, someone can email the video link to Chrissy Matthews and Keith Molderman at MSNBC.....heh heh heh
We saved it on Tivo. Good stuff.
I missed it. Does anyone know where you can watch on line?
There was something on last night as well, was it a repeat?
Those show was very well done. “Just the facts,” no political bias. It was refreshing to see that again after all these years of propaganda.
My favorite part was when Sarah asked Piper
“What does mommy do all day (at work)?” and she responded check her email on Free Republic
I agree. The only part that was under-reported was when Greta brought up Troopergate but then just left it as scandalous without detail.
If you put in the search string “sarah palin an american woman” in YouTube you can find the special online.
They looked so completely American in that scene.
Yeah. I knew about her husband. I also know she voted for Hilary in the primaries, and she doesn’t seem enamored with Obamination.
There was also a very nice piece last night on Greta’s show. She is in Alaska and interviewed folks who know Sarah well. It was good..........................!
I saw that. It was great! Who was Sarah's hot looking friend!? Those Alaska women have a healthy glow.
