Ratings just out for second quarter.

His show is number two among all prime time viewers. Although he got his butt kicked during the Michael Jackson non stop news on all channels.

His network is number two among all prime time cable news channels.

His show is number one among viewers 35 and under for prime time news shows.

Nice Slump Keith...keep it going.

Fox News Channel finished the second quarter ratings period as the No. 3 ranked basic cable network in primetime behind USA and TNT. The network is having its best year among total viewers since 2003, when the war in Iraq began.

The network posted a 35% gain in total viewers and 54% in the news networks' target demographic of 25-54-year-olds compared to primetime (Monday through Friday) for the second quarter 2008.

Fox News also swept the cable news top-ten in total viewers led by The O'Reilly Factor, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and On the Record.

Meanwhile, MSNBC topped CNN in weekday primetime among total viewers and the 25-54 demographic. It was the first time in MSNBC's 13-year history that the network surpassed CNN for an entire quarter in both ratings measurements.

Compared to primetime Q2 2008, MSNBC was up 18% in total viewers while CNN was down 10%.

CNN led MSNBC in total day among viewers and the demo, with advantages of 52% and 25%, respectively.

CNN's American Morning topped MSNBC's Morning Joe by 16% in total viewers and the 25-54 demo.

Read back through. I don't recall defending Olbermann. I don't really watch his show much, and never for more than 30 secs. while surfing the mid-band channels on cable. Less than I watch Fox, for sure.
I was riffing on Her Dessicated Highness, and our conservative contingent jumped in to her defense, but that didn't take the fun out of it at all, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I made those all up, and I giggled at myself when I came up with the "After Meth" one. :lol:
You're right about the Orbitz commercial, I thought the same thing.--->JMS
