  1. Remember when the nightly newscasts all had 10 million views and Fox News was around 1.2? I guess it is true that there is no such thing as bad publicity, because, they are almost at par now with the alphabets despite the non-stop bashing, including bashing by the Anointed One.

  5. ABC will boost ratings with their LIVE from the Whitehouse a Night of Fun and Intrigue about the Healthcare debate!
    Now which bill is that one, I keep getting healthcare and cap and trade mixed up because they both seem to operate under the same fallicy.
    We need better fuels for people and cars.
    We need to Cap how much healthcare and energy we use.
    Everyone needs to conserve (ie Use less) healthcare and energy.
    The private Industry and taxpayers will subsidize both the Government Energy plan and the Government Healthcare plan.
    Both have a 1 Trillion plus price tag on them.
    So again which one is which?

  6. I for one take no joy in seeing news networks implode. Their commodity will always be in demand, The blog’s are filling in the void nicely. It’s not just television though, radio also. for instance stations pushing global warming propaganda such as Eco-Echo, can be replaced by podcasts of people like the G-Man.

    Do your self a favor and have a listen, honest and entertaining. Sorry no ball waxing or pining news anchors there.

  8. A) YAY!
    B) Faster please.
    Everyone can help (and save yourselves a hundred bucks off cable every month) by unplugging your TV. Get off the glass teat, people! Your liver will thank you.

  9. Since the alphabet News networks have absolutely no clue what objective reporting of the news is, they should listen to old tapes of the BBC world service from the 1950s and 1960s — no bias, no embellishment, just the facts — precisely why people risked their freedom and even their lives to listen to it.
    As for today’s drivel, including unfortunately, the BBC — I’d give more credibility to a carney huckster. At least he doesn’t pretend to be what he isn’t.

  10. When I saw the article tag-line, I thought to myself “What stupendously bad piece of reporting would be reported as simultaneous new lows?” More Obama-fellation? More junk science? Reports that North Korean starvation is due to Western indifference?
    Too bad it was only ratings.

  11. Funny how when they get together for one of their media corpse confabs they alway seem to admit the bias thing is part of the problem …. then proceed to justify doing more of the same.

  12. NBC, for one, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Electric, major beneficiary of cap and trade, basically in the same position Enron was angling for, doesn’t care a whit about audience share. They only care how much they can suck up to the guy handing out the trillions.
    Soon it will be Quatloos. Back in the seventies on that Star Trek show, a Quatloo was enough to buy a planet outright. By the time Barry gets done with the US Dollar, a Quatloo will buy a latte at Starbucks.

  13. The thing I figure about AM radio is that most of the audience is tuning in while driving in their cars on their way to something called : A JOB. If liberals want a radio station they certainly can do this and I am sure they can find an audience. What they need to do is hire people, managers and announcers to do something called: WORK. Now this is a non-government position that is paid for by this little thing called: Advertising. (often by businesses that believe in capitalist things: like Customers.) Finally to capture this audience effectively that do JOBS they will also have to have a show that TELLS TRUTH. If they can do these things then they can capture an interested audience that doesnt mind listening to other opinions to broaden or shake their paradigm. It’s just the one thing….TELL THE TRUTH and we will listen!

  14. the people coming out of schools can’t read, can’t think, can’t write, can’t do much of anything. here are the new msm viewers.

  15. The only nightly news I watch on the boob tube is Fox News. While certainly not perfect, they tend to be more balanced and a pretty good start in my quest to find the news on the net. I do however draw the line a Gerardo. someone should have locked him in Al Capone’s vault. Knowledge and research are good tools to sift through the data and find some truth in there. It is not too hard to see that if you control the media, the masses will more than likely follow. Trouble is that in the internet/cellphone/tweet age the information is flowing even more and the so called controllers are scrambling to shut the flow off.

  16. I know your going to see this sooner or later :
    White House Solicits Blogger
    WASHINGTON (AP) — White House officials phoned a blogger from a popular left-leaning Web site on Monday evening to tell him that President Barack Obama had been impressed with his online reporting about Iran. Could the writer pass along a question from an Iranian during the president’s news conference on Tuesday?
    Of course. The next day, The Huffington Post’s Nico Pitney got a prime location in the White House Briefing Room and was the second reporter Obama picked for a question.
    “Nico, I know that you — and all across the Internet — we’ve been seeing a lot of reports coming directly out of Iran,” Obama said without trying to hide that he knew the crux of the question. “I know that there may actually be questions from people in Iran who are communicating through the Internet. Do you have a question?”

  18. “Whereas Rush Limbaugh gets higher daily ratings than all three network evening newscasts combined.”
    AND
    The ratings of all the top five Fox News programs beat all of the top programs of CNN and MSNBC. The lowest Fox News top five ratings are higher than the highest ratings of CNN, MSNBC.
    So, I conclude that Rush Limbaugh’s success shows there’s an enormous audience for conservative radio commentary. Fox News’ success shows that there’s an enormous audience for non-leftist-MSM actually fair and balanced news.
    One could say this market is for what Dr D noted above about the completely-in-the-past journalistic glory of the BBC. (I can remember when CNN was actually fair and balanced and journalistically high quality. That started to change in the early 90’s)
    MSM: just give us ALL the facts in an unbiased, coherent manner and we’ll make our own conclusions, please!
