  1. No demo or hourly breakdowwn given out or just too swamped with all the numbers and info of the day.

  2. I think it’s just because there’s not much a big gap between FNC and CNN from yesterday’s numbers.

  3. In fact, CNN beat Fox News in the primetime demo.

  6. In other words his hands are tied by the great folks at fnc. The #’s must not have been too hot for them.

  8. I would imagine that everyone was very busy yesterday…maybe even Nielsen was effected by the hurricane.

  9. How can CNN throw all those resources (money, anchors, reporters, crews, armed vehicles, new jackets, emotional reporters, etc.) at fox and still come up in second place? They were a million people away from fox, it’s not even a close second.

  10. Bill O’Reilly came back from vacation to do one TV show (and attract 4,000,000 viewers) and now he is apparently away again until after Labor Day.

    I wonder if Roger Ailes and company are happy about the comings and goings of their “humble correspondent.”

  11. Dude, even news stars are allowed to take vacations.

    It’s not like he’s off playing golf somewhere shucking his responsabilities.

  12. Fox rocks. I can’t wait to see who they beat next, I bet it’s the broadcast networks

  13. Look at those nubmers, FOX NEWS has what it takes to look ahead and take on the broadcast networks.

  14. Gene: Mr. Bill is scheduled to return to The Factor tonight.
