Fox News gets good ratings I didn't know that Being they are an exclusively conservative station....more people identify themselves as being conservative....they should get excellent ratings. Simple math...

Fox thinks FOR its viewers.

Fox uses fear-mongering carny barkers to entertain its viewers. Anyone who forms their viewpoint on current affairs based on what someone like Glenn Beck has to say needs to have their head examined.

Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes are not stupid - but they certainly know how to exploit the stupid
I see that you didn't see Glenn Beck's "LIve Free or Die" Friday. Why no you didn't see it because you aren't stupid like nearly 4 million people who watched it. Is there just a tiny chance that you are still uneducated about the topic? I think there surely is a chance, a huge chance.

What the OP conveniently neglects saying is that the liberal audience is split among all the rest of the cable network stations and free market stations.

The only place conservatives can go to drink their Kool Aid is Fox.
TC, can't you read numbers? Do you fail to see that most hours of the evening Fox programs outnumber all the rest combined? You need to start reading the numbers when they are plopped in front of you.

Gee that leaves how many millions of us that didn't see it? Roughly 300. Which means that almost 99% of Americans did not see it.

Do you actually stop to think before you post about Beck or does the BS just flow naturally when the topic is Beck?

Regardless, I dont see how television ratings have anything to do with this forum. There is a TV specific forum if you want to discuss television ratings.
Boy, is it good to see that you live on the Mizzery side of the state line. I guess you don't know how bad the Mizzery basketball team got stomped last night since news people over there wouldn't want to say anything about that.

Fox News Finishes Week #1 in All of Primetime Cable - mediabistro.com: TVNewser

And MSNBC couldn't even beat Spike and the Comedy Channel.
Proof that outrageous television gets ratings. Who got the lowest ratings? CSPAN? Some other public access channel? Most people don't want to be bombarded with facts (boring), they want to see chariot races (O'Reilly scream, Beck cry, etc). And that's what Fox News gives them.

TC, how many people are on their way home from work during Beck's hour? Why not throw them into your figures?

From your post I see that 99% of Americans still don't know the real truth about the progressive leaders of the 20th century. Well, at least, the progressive leaders outside the US, anyway. You can find out a bit about progressivism in the US by watching him the rest of this week. Yes, I know you don't want to know but it could come into importance in coming years to know a little bit that you didn't learn in school from liberalness.
