Olbermann's gray hair and constipated facial expression won't get any younger viewers to watch. Then Maddows comes on and guys won't watch. And they probably think Ed Shultz is Rush Limbaugh. Who's left? You only get so many aging hippy douchebags to watch and the ratings won't go any higher.
Comedy Central and E! news is stealing MSNBC's targeted demographics. Serious viewers will watch Fox if center to the right or CNN if they are to the center/ left.

Maddows actually attracts a ton of guys. Granted her sexual orientation is widely known, but honestly to a lot of guys that makes her all the more attractive. Most young people do not have a problem with gay people.

People who attack Fox News because it is doing so well. If it's ratings sucked, there would be hardly a peep out of the haters here.

Glenn Beck is great. He looks just like a grown up version of that kid in A Christmas Story. I wonder if he has a Red Rider Beebee gun - LOL.

At any rate, I get a kick out of his show and thought his book - "Common Sense" - made some very good points. Good for him for making it to #3.

Or left wingers aren't ignorant enough to get their news from an entertainment source...

Fox showed a 33 percent rise in total viewers last quarter compared to the second quarter of 2008, and a 54 percent increase in younger viewers for its primetime weekday shows.

And for those left wingers who also hate Bill OReilly, he is eating the competition alive with his ratings.

The top 3 shows

8 p.m. – "The O'Reilly Factor" — 3,188,000
9 p.m. – "Hannity" — 2,341,000
5 p.m. – "Glenn Beck" — 2,053,000

And by the way they beat any and all of the left wing shows on CNN and MSNBC combined!

Read it and weep a little libs because Fox News is NUMBER ONE and GROWING!!

Well, I think Bill O"Reilly has a very good show and entertaining. Hannity can be a little too overbearing though.
I am not suprised about this numbers at all.
