Fox News: Unquestioned Leader in Cable News Shows!

[JennyD]

Thanks in large part to Our Beloved Leader’s Marxist policies, Fox News has taken the ratings lead in cable news shows in the United States! A center-right nation, my foot!

In a sign of just how dominant Fox News is in the cable news network ratings game, the network easily won the rankings in the first quarter of 2009, averaging more viewers than competitors MSNBC and CNN combined — and in the process claimed nine of the top the program spots.

For the quarter, Fox News was the #2 cable channel in prime time, averaging 2,250,000 total viewers (behind only the USA juggernaut, which averaged 3,115,000 total viewers). CNN placed 17th with an average of 1,126,000 total viewers, while MSNBC placed 24th, with an average of 950,000 total viewers.

The #1 show? “The O’Reilly Factor”, celebrating its 100th consecutive month as the top-rated cable news program, and increasing its viewership by 27% over 2008.

Letterman fans will enjoy this take on his ubiquitous Top Ten list:

Top 10 Cable News Programs, Q1 2009 (by total viewers)
1. The O’Reilly Factor: 3,438,000 total viewers
2. Hannity: 2,579,000 total viewers
3. Glenn Beck: 2,271,000 total viewers
4. Special Report with Bret Baier: 2,092,000 total viewers
5. On the Record with Greta Van Susteren: 1,977,000 total viewers
6. The FOX Report with Shepard Smith: 1,927,000 total viewers
7. The O’Reilly Factor (repeat): 1,457,000 total viewers
8. America’s Newsroom: 1,445,000 total viewers
9. Your World with Neil Cavuto: 1,428,000 total viewers
10. Countdown with Keith Olbermann: 1,327,000 total viewers

That’s right. The repeats of O’Reilly ranked ahead of all non-FOX cable news shows!

Liberals . . . still think you’re in charge? We’ll see if you can spell "backlash" come 2010!

I didn't watch all of those, but I did see some of the ones in the top of the list, so my viewing time must have been counted, somehow.

It's good hear that some things in this great country haven't gone to Hell in a hand basket.

The LIEbrals are certainly getting twitchy about all this. On a recent show Letterman calls O'Reilly a "goon":

Sometimes I worry Fox News isn't conservative enough. They definately have RINOs in their midst!

Now that they got rid of that commie LIEbral joo Alan Colmes they are even more fair and balanced. I hope they get rid of that spic joo Geraldo.

I do Fox think needs Sister Ann and I would call it the Coulter Factor. She could replace Greta Van Susteran.

Well, there you have it! America has spoken! The Conservative Revolution Opposing Socialist Secularism™ has begun!

Under the leadership of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Sheppard Smith, and Glenn Beck, America will shake off the Obamaist yoke of oppressive government, repel this attack on our Freedoms® and Liberty© through the "ballot box," and re-claim what is rightfully Ours!

If there is anything GOOD about Obama's failed policies and socialist power-grab, it's that Americans have finally WOKEN UP to the DANGEROUS abbrogations of our Freedoms® from the Liberal Lefty Losers that seek to enslave us! And if there's one thing The Republican Party stands against, it's a politcal party seizing power through manipulating elections and radically abusing their powers to subjugate the majority to their crackpot schemes and unfair redistribution of wealth!!

I have to admit to watching one show that's not on the Fox News channel, and I think Fox should go after her. Nancy Grace is a fantastic journalist!

Does she follow the media herd and cover world events and politics? No! She sticks with the REAL stories, the ones America cares about: Missing little white girls!



And she is a fine looking woman I must admit.

Fox could use another anchor that's not afraid to lead with the same story every day for weeks, if not months. America's #1 source of Fair and Balanced News needs someone who is willing to do the hard work of interviewing EVERY family member, friend, teacher, casual aquaintance, and coworker of an accused child killer.

Fox needs Nancy Grace!

The latest research from Discovery Institute shows that all child killers, child predators and 90% of all men who volunteer in pre-school centers are, in fact, sex-obsessed homers who vote Democratic.

So, you can see Nancy's got a job where her work is never done.
