Fox News viewing stays pretty much the same but CNN does really well, compared to usual.

MSNBC, not so much. Considering MSNBC can share footage with it's broadcast channel, you'd think they would have the best reporting and video simply because they should have more boots on the ground in Haiti than the other two. Fox has no national news program, just local, and CNN has none at all.

Wednesdays Total Audience Numbers

Beck 3,175,000
Blitzer 1,310,000
Matthews 524,000

O'Reilly 3,688,000
Brown 1,300,000
Olbermann 1,176,000

Hannity 2,697,000
King 1,465,000
Maddow 992,000

Greta 2,292,000
Cooper 1,670,000
Olbermann Second Hour: 764,000

The Scoreboard: Wednesday, Jan. 13 - mediabistro.com: TVNewser

One possible explanation is the addiction some seem to have for FOX "News"; i.e., they'll watch it no matter what's on.

REPORT: Top Fox News programs devote scant coverage to Haiti earthquake
On January 13, Fox News' three top-rated programs for 2009 -- The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity, and Glenn Beck -- devoted a combined total of less than 7 minutes of coverage to the earthquake in Haiti, instead choosing to air such things as Beck's hour-long interview with Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly's discussion of Comedy Central host Jon Stewart, and Sean Hannity's advocacy for Massachusetts candidate Scott Brown's Senate campaign. By contrast, the content of MSNBC's three top-rated shows underscored the significance of the Haiti disaster; Countdown, The Rachel Maddow Show, and Hardball devoted a total of more than two hours to the earthquake.
If people truly wanted to find out what was happening with the earthquake in Haiti, FOX "News" was not the place to check. Personally, I went with CNN.

The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity, and Glenn Beck are NOT the news programs.

The NEWS segments have non-stop coverage of the earthquake. Is anyone on the left educated enough to understand the differance between commentary programs and NEWS programs?

Close to 100,000 people dead and Fox can't be bothered to report on it. Unbelievable.

Obviously you do not watch FOX or you would be seeing the non-stop coverage!



The left wingers need to shake the propaganda out of their heads.

Hey the OP is on your side of the fence...don't you know the "differance"?

I don't mind MSNBC but CNN's coverage is way better, especially with iReport.
