Since you don't have cell coverage in your trailerpark, it will be
worthless.

Obviously you don't have cable tv in your trailer or you would know that the
I pad is what everyone is rushing out to buy right now.

Not network news, just cable shows. Further, overall ratings isn't
the whole story -- look at demographics.

Ooops you're right. CNN ratings have further fallen into the sewer since
Jan.

MSNBC, CNN Ratings Plunge as O'Reilly Reigns
Wednesday, 29 Apr 2009 11:30 AM Article Font Size
By: Jim Meyers


MSNBC and CNN's primetime news programs have suffered an incredible nosedive
in ratings since Barack Obama was elected president, Newsmax has learned.

Ratings for "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" on MSNBC at 8 p.m. have plunged
a dizzying 42 percent since October, shortly before the election. CNN's 8
p.m. show, now being hosted by Roland Martin, has seen a 49 percent plunge
over that time period,
Bill O'Reilly's 8 p.m. show remains the top-rated cable news program,
averaging 2,650,000 million households per night in April, more than the
combined totals for Olbermann's program (938,000) and CNN's 8 p.m. offering
(613,000) - with more than a million households to spare.

In the key demographic of viewers 25 to 54 years old, Olbermann has lost 53
percent of his average nightly audience, a precipitous plunge. Rachel
Maddow, who follows him at 9 p.m. on MSNBC, has lost an astounding 65
percent of her 25-to-54 audience since October, and her 819,000 households
in April compare poorly to Sean Hannity's 1,953,000 households on Fox.

O'Reilly has also trounced Olbermann among viewers aged 35 to 64 in April,
with 1,724,000 viewers, down 19 percent since October. Olbermann suffered a
49 percent drop in that demographic and had 1,151,000 viewers.

The solid showing of "The O'Reilly Factor" and the plunging numbers for
Keith Olbermann further belie Olbermann and MSNBC's occasional claim that he
is winning the ratings war in his time slot.

MSNBC took out a full-page ad in The New York Times last November
proclaiming "A Sweeping Victory" for its ratings and declaring "Countdown
With Keith Olbermann" the No. 1 cable news program.

But fine print at the bottom of the ad acknowledged that the "victory"
referred only to the 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. time slot for the dates Oct. 27
through Oct. 31, for viewers between 25 and 54 years of age.

Overall, however, O'Reilly's show averaged twice as many viewers as
Olbermann's.

Earlier last year, the liberal press crowed loudly when Olbermann narrowly
beat out O'Reilly in the 25 to 54 demographic one week in June. But the
rating results were misleading. On Tuesday of that week, the cable stations
covered that day's primaries, and on Friday, O'Reilly was on vacation, with
Laura Ingraham filling in. Ratings for "The Factor" dip when O'Reilly is not
the host.

On the three days when O'Reilly and Olbermann went head to head, O'Reilly
won the 25 to 54 demographic. And he trounced Olbermann in total viewers,
with 2,193,000 per night to Olbermann's 1,031,000.

The O'Reilly-Olbermann feud has been ongoing for years. O'Reilly denies that
there is a feud, and says he won't even mention Olbermann by name. But
Olbermann for his part has made O'Reilly the frequent recipient of his
nightly "Worst Person in the World" award.

In a recent interview with Broadcasting & Cable magazine, O'Reilly said "The
O'Reilly Factor" has fared well since Obama entered the White House because
CNN and MSNBC comprise the "Obama cheerleading crew," and viewers are tuning
in to Fox because it is "more skeptical of the president."

And Newsmax reported earlier that Obama's win on Election Day "may be a
Pyrrhic victory" for Olbermann, who "had positioned himself as the
anti-Bush, anti-Republican news source on MSNBC. With Democrats firmly in
control of the White House and Congress, it's questionable that his audience
will grow."

What can I say? More people want to watch entertainment than be
educated. How many people would rather go to a movie than read a book
these days?

Also, how many cable systems carry Fox vx MSNBC?

You'd better talk to the earlier poster, who claimed Fox News beat
MSNBC by 8 to 1.

Yeah, sure. CNN and MSNBC have criticized Obama. When has any Fox
News commentator criticized Bush? Gingrich? Coulter? Bachman?

So since more people drive Chevrolet Cobalts than Porsche 911s,
Cobalts are better cars, right?

Apple's part of the big conspiracy.

Apple are a bunch of lefty socialists tryin to tell us all what to do. Bush
should have shut them down when he had the chance.

I know Palin would have.

They use science for their products and refuse to admit that science is just
a bunch of lies put there to confuse those of us who watch Fox News.

Betcha that Jobs guy collects food stamps like the rest of the lefturds.

My trailer's a double wide, that'd make him jealous.

4 million watch Fox News. Cause for celebration!

Just over 1% of the population, every republican who owns a tv set and pretty
well the expected turn out for the GOP side in the November election!

And Glenn Beck? He's the intellectual leader of the right. An alcoholic
space cadet with a drug problem.

We all know that he's on a 5:00 PM, that's why so many Republicans stay home
and collect welfare because work gets in the way of watching his show!!


I'm still hung up on who is smarter, Beck, Palin or Joe the Plumber?
