    The results speak for themselves.
     
  2. Enlighten me. What does it say? There are a lot of nut jobs out there who are willing to stare at the boob tube and have their weekly agendas installed?

    I find it odd O'Reilly and Hannity don't have the exact same viewer count, since you're watching a couple clones with identical formulas used to attract ratings.

    And over a million viewers for Maddow? It doesn't seem possible.
     
  3. Your emptyhead is unable to comprehend one simple fact PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS GRAVITATE TOWARDS THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR THEM What do I mean by that? Broccoli is not going to be as popular as mashed potatoes and gravy, carrot juice will not rival coke, etc. Fox gives a simplified worldivew that is very poisonous but "tastes very sweet". To a pick up driving confederate flag waving simpleton, fox says that his opinion is just as good as someone who went to harvard and graduated with honors. Of course, this does not reflect reality, nevertheless, USA is filled with delusional simpletons who "get their education from fox"

    Sarah Palin would have been laughed out of my AP US history class in high school. Her hollow head would not have been able to write any "DBQs" or complex essays on serious subjects, that bimbo did not even know what VP does. But to many republicans, she is a hero. Intellect needs to be appreciated and respected, but not in the republican party.

    Oberman is so mad for ratings that he goes over the top all the time.. it doesn't work, it comes across as pure kindergarten partisanship, I know lifelong Democrats that can't stand the guy...

    Who's Madow anyhow? :p

    It's kind of nice to see that complete information domination by the left of the 60's through the 90's is over.. they are so incredibly biased that it was unreal... I never had a TV most of those years, couldn't stand ANY of it.... the Larry King radio show back in the day was good, he just had authors on there all the time and he let them talk, I was really reading and learning a lot.. then he went to TV and it turned to shit...

    While the OP doesn't actually say that because more people watch that channel, what it broadcasts is more true, either that is implied, hence, "the results speak for themselves", or the entire post is trivia, ie. no one asked for the data, and it asks for no response.

    Assuming the former...

  7. It says there are a lot of really really old people who keep it on the same channel all day.

    What's the idea behind using "really old people"?
     

  9. Perfectly said.
