Ms. Coulter very wittingly replied that any one with the middle name
of Hussein should not
be using the word "hijacked" in a public speech. And because the U.S.
is at
war in an Islamic jihad should also avoid referring to religion.
Score Coulter 1 and Obama 0 in this exchange.
If you're using Ann Coulter as a beacon or Christian values, may God
help you
Obama's speech got far more coverage than Coulter's babbling.
Maybe you want to score with Coulter but I don't know anyone else who would
touch that loon.
And as for Obama's remarks -- he was absolutely correct -- the "religious
right" has hijacked Christianity.
He wasn't and may God bless her for pointing out the obvious.

Democrats have never found a fight they couldn't run from.
On "Meet the Press" last month, Sen. Joe Biden was asked whether he would
support military action against Iran if the Iranians were to go
"full-speed-ahead with their program to build a nuclear bomb."
No, of course not. There is, Biden said, "no imminent threat at this point."
...
Democrats won't acknowledge the existence of "an imminent threat" anyplace
in the world until a nuclear missile is 12 minutes from New York. And then
we'll never have the satisfaction of saying "I told you so" because we'll
all be dead.

When Ann Coulter called for the terrorist bombing of the NY Times because she
disagreed with their opinion, she was reflecting the values of the Republican
party, the American right which included other terrorists like Eric Rudolph,

Well said. The Christian fundies are the in-your-face sect of Christians.
Another problem with them is they think everybody else is like them.
They diddle little boys and girls, gamble obsessively, con people out of
money, have adulturous affairs. Then on Sunday they preach to the
gullible about their sins, not theirs.
It they'd simply let other people worship as they see fit and leave
others alone they'd be more tolerable.
As far as Anne Coulter goes, if she didn't make over the top and
outrageous statements nobody would listen to her. Have you noticed the
insane seem to attract the Clint Hunters, the 10Xs, the CBs, etc?
Stan Coulter is such a walking advertisement for the stupidity of
Republi-shills. Check out her pretend points:
1) She doesn't realise the hijackings were done by Al Qaida, and had
nothing to do with Saddam Hussein.
2) She thinks the fact we are confronting Islamic Jihad (caused by
fanatical extremists who have hijacked that faith) we should NOT be
resisting attempts by fanatical extremists from hijacking our own
faith.
3) She thinks anyone is going to take her seriously on issues of
faith.
So what? Obama wasn't trying to stop them. He was trying to mobilise
left-wing Christianity.

What are you talking about? I'm sure Jesus would have been a Mexican-

little churchgoing lemmings are today.
What you refer to as the "Religious Right" are old-line evangelicals.
Anyone with a mind knows that churches like the United Churches of
Christ abandoned their fundamentalist roots. In effect, the Religious
Left LEFT. It was not a hijacking, it was an abdication by the left.
The UCC and the likes of Barak Hussain Obama wish to present the Left
as the bosom of Christ but in fact deny the foundational principles of
Christian teachings (fundamentals) of evangelicals.
Barak screwed up when he disowned conservative christians unhappy with
the current political options. Barak needs to be a "uniter", not a
theological divider.

The Left is much closer to Christian fundamentals than anything ever
preached by black suited Bible Belting thugs. If you can find anything
Christian about letting people starve in the midst of plenty, about
lying the country into a disasterous war, about denying health care
and turing away refugees, then show me the Biblical passages. While
you're at it, show us all Christ's condemnation of gay love and praise
of earthly wealth. If you can't then shut up.
Hmm. Must be another gullible Bush lover.

Even if Fox was the most viewed cable network in the USA, they're numbers don't

The Ratings Mirage
Why Fox has higher ratings--when CNN has more viewers
By Steve Rendall
Reporting on the ratings rivalry between the Fox News Channel (FNC) and CNN is
often misleading--and almost always over-hyped.
"Fox Tops CNN as Choice for Cable News," declared one typical headline (Chicago
Tribune , 3/24/03). "Fox News Channel Continues to Crush CNN ," reported Knight
Ridder (Dallas Morning News , 2/3/04) in a column comparing the rivalry to a
party primary: "Fox News Channel is winning the Nielsen caucuses." Last summer
(8/17/03), the New York Times Magazine declared, looking back at the period of
the Iraq invasion, "Fox was--and still is--trouncing CNN in the ratings."
After exposure to countless similar stories published since January 2002, when
Fox was reported to have surpassed CNN in the Nielsen ratings, one might
naturally conclude that Fox has more viewers than CNN .
But it's not true. On any given day, more people typically tune to CNN than to
Fox .
So what are the media reports talking about? With few exceptions, stories about
the media business report a single number for ratings (often expressed two
different ways--as "points" or "share"). This number is often presented as if
it were the result of a popularity contest or a democratic vote. But it is
actually the average number of viewers watching a station or a show in a
typical minute, based on Nielsen Media Research's monitoring of thousands of
households.
The average is arrived at by counting viewers every minute. Heavy viewers--
those who tune in to a station and linger there--have a greater impact, as they
can be counted multiple times as they watch throughout the day.
When an outlet reports that CNN is trailing Fox , they are almost invariably
using this average tally, which Fox has been winning for the past two years.
For the year 2003, Nielsen's average daily ratings show Fox beating CNN 1.02
million viewers to 665,000.
But there is another important number collected by Nielsen (though only made
available to the firm's clients) that tells another story. This is the "cume,"
the cumulative total number of viewers who watch a channel for at least six
minutes during a given day. Unlike the average ratings number the media usually
report, this number gives the same weight to the light viewer, who tunes in for
a brief time, as it does to the heavy viewer.
How can CNN have more total viewers when Fox has such a commanding lead in
average viewers? Conventional industry wisdom is that CNN viewers tune in
briefly to catch up on news and headlines, while Fox viewers watch longer for
the opinion and personality-driven programming. Because the smaller total
number of Fox viewers are watching more hours, they show up in the ratings as a
higher average number of viewers.
CNN regularly claims a cume about 20 percent higher than Fox 's (Deseret
Morning News , 1/12/04). For instance, in April 2003, during the height of the
fighting in Iraq, CNN 's cume was significantly higher than Fox 's: 105 million
viewers tuned into CNN compared to 86 million for Fox (Cablefax , 4/30/03). But
in the same period, the ratings reported by most media outlets had Fox in the
lead, with an average of 3.5 million viewers to CNN 's 2.2 million.
Even among Fox 's core audience of conservatives, CNN has an edge in total
viewership. A study by the ad agency Carat USA (Hollywood Reporter , 8/13/03)
found that 37 percent of viewers calling themselves "very conservative" watch
CNN in the course of a week, while only 32 percent tune to Fox .
Show me the money
Journalists who publish Nielsen numbers ought to explain that the data are not
simply measures of popularity, and they are not produced as a service to
journalists or the public. The figures are gathered to provide advertisers with
complex data about viewer habits. It pays to remember that neither cable news
stations nor Nielsen Media Research are primarily in the business of serving
the public interest--both are in the business of delivering audiences to
advertisers.
Advertisers would rather see larger numbers of viewers see each ad a few times
than have a smaller number watch the ad over and over again. But having a large
number of viewers tune in for so short a period of time that they see very few
ads is not desirable either. As Sherrill Maine, CNN 's senior vice president of
marketing, was quoted in the Cablefax (1/26/03): "We'd like Fox 's [average]
ratings; Fox would like our cume."
But in the race between these two for-profit ventures, the bottom line is the
bottom line: From their capitalistic perspective, the channel that gets more ad
revenue is winning the real ratings war. Earnings for the two channels are a
contentious subject--since neither network reports its revenues separate from
its corporate parent, and each claims to earn more income than its rival. But
many industry analysts say CNN still makes more money. Stock analyst Michael
Gallant told the Chicago Tribune (11/28/03) that while Fox is growing faster,
CNN is still earning about $200 million more per year than Fox (Television Week
, 10/20/03).
Furthermore, CNN apparently continues to command higher ad rates, or CPM. CPM
stands for "cost per thousand" (using the Roman numeral), the price a
television outlet charges advertisers per thousand television households
reached by a commercial. Though Fox began claiming to have reached CPM parity
with CNN last summer, CNN chair Jim Walton insisted that CNN 's rate was still
40 percent higher (Television Week , 7/14/03).
In interviews with Extra! , ad buyers for three different firms (all of whom
declined to be named) confirmed that CNN continues to command a higher CPM,
though their estimates of the gap in prices was less than half that quoted by
Walton.
One of the reasons for CNN 's lead in CPM, according to the buyers, is the
advertiser preference for lighter viewers. Such viewers tend to come from the
most desirable demographics--younger, busier, more free-spending--and because
they're harder to reach with ads, the law of supply and demand drives their
cost up.
One media buyer we interviewed analyzed the contrast between Fox and CNN in
terms of programming and viewing habits, telling Extra! : "CNN is like news
radio where people drop in for the news; Fox is like talk radio, where they
stay longer for the opinion shows."
An ad executive interviewed in Media Week last year (2/10/03) suggested that
snob appeal was part of CNN 's edge in the race for ad dollars: "There are two
kinds of news advertisers. If you're talking cold remedies, you're buying
eyeballs. Others are looking for an environment, an image. They're looking to
reach decision-makers and influencers who watch news. If you're an image-
oriented product--a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus--it's not even a question, you go with
CNN . There's no comparison in the quality of the journalism--CNN is light
years ahead in objectivity and reporting--and I don't think Fox 's 'New York
Post on TV' approach appeals to the most desirable consumers."
Fox vs. everyone else
Fox News Channel , then, is so far neither the choice of most people who watch
cable news, nor the more successful business model. But the perception that Fox
is "trouncing" CNN --based largely on the fact that the number Nielsen releases
to the public emphasizes heavy viewers--is of great use to Fox , which trumpets
these ratings as a vindication of its partisan, "fair & balanced" approach to
the news. Reacting to a guest's charge that Fox had a right-wing bias, Brian
Kilmeade, co-host of the successful Fox & Friends morning show (2/25/03),
boasted: "Then what does that say about the country when they made us No. 1?"
But even in the limited sense of average hourly watchers, Fox is only No. 1
among 24-hour cable news channels. Fox , like CNN , now reaches about 4 of
every 5 television households, so comparisons with broadcast news shows are
increasingly valid. And among all television news sources, Fox 's performance
is nothing to brag about.
The O'Reilly Factor is the best-rated show on Fox , with about 2 million
viewers a night (Daily Variety , 12/5/03). CBS Evening News , the least-watched
broadcast network evening news show, routinely gets four or five times as big
an audience, and that's seen as a ratings disaster. Fox 's flagship news show,
Special Report with Brit Hume , gets a million viewers on a good night-a few
thousand more than the local newscast of New York City's WNBC (Hollywood
Reporter , 10/1/03; Nielsen).
Fox likes to position itself as the alternative to all the other news that's on
TV. As Fox News president Roger Ailes likes to claim (New York Times ,
6/24/01), "If we look conservative, it's because the other guys are so far to
the left." If it's true that news can be put into two categories--Fox and
everything else--then when Special Report airs, everything else beats Fox by at
least 30 to one.
