Have you seen these numbers? I caught these ratings numbers the other day and was simply astounded! We all knew Fox was beating the competition, but this is ridiculous.
OX is dominating every time slot as Team Obama wants to isolate FOX from the rest of the news networks. To which I say, “say what?” Other than friends and family of CNN, MSNBC, et. al., who is watching the “other guys” and who would know what news they are covering or not covering?
Take a look at Beck’s ratings and O’ Reilly’s ratings! Whew, they aren’t just beating the competition they are clobbering them.
Memo to the thin skinned White House hacks that think emulating Nixonian rules of engagement with FOX is a smart strategy.
Calling Beck’s red phone will get you numbers… dissing FNC and its viewers will get you nothing but disdain.

Here’s a couple of quick takes… unintentionally funny comments made by the folks over at MSNBC. This by Olbermann as he chastened a critical viewer saying that, “he had the number one show in his time slot that wasn’t on FOX!”
BTW, CEO of NBC Universal Jeffrey Immelt, was recently overheard saying “I hate being No. 4″. When I heard that I thought, his strategy for NBC/MSNBC programming shared so much with Team Obama’s bid for the Olympics …. we’re #4 yea! … we’re #4 yea!
