Olbermann’s demos beat every program on CNN except for Cooper(first hour), and Anderson has been taking his own swings at the Obama swiftboaters at FNC.

Anderson Cooper – 449,000 viewers (193,000)
MSNBC Investigates – 360,000 viewers (209,000)
Maybe he’s not worth that $4 million after all….

Swiftboaters are Heros and stand for the truth, liberals have a hard time with the truth.
Comment by mike — January 25, 2007 @ 9:29 pm
Mike do better than that if your going to defend something- defend it. Please show us how the Obama story as originally reported was true (which should be hard to do since even FNC had to correct the story)- if you cant then quit your tantrum.
I cant wit to see the ratings for the first quater of 2007- it seems CNN might end up loosing to MSNBC in the primetime demo overall- the prospect of which scares me since 7-8 years ago i would never guess that any show on MSNBC would be beating anything. CNN deserves it- while i think Paula Zahn, Miles O’Brien and Soledad O’Brien are great people, it is apparent to me that their shows aren’t really catching on with everyone else- so its time for CNN to revaluate those programmes, if they dont their ratings will continue to suffer. As it relates to MSNBC they need to look at doing something with Tucker as he’s not doing so well in that Time slot- perhaps they need to change the format of the show or something as right now its not catching on too well.

Obama! Who said anything about Obama? It would just be nice to see the liberals tell the truth for a change.
Comment by mike — January 25, 2007 @ 10:21 pm
Mike good dodge, you made your comment in response to #3 post on Obama being “swiftboated” by FNC presumably through the Madrassah story- you made a response seemingly denouncing what #3 was saying- i’m just saying if your going to denounce something, address the meat of the matter insted of opting for the talking points cop out.
Comment by Sam — January 26, 2007 @ 12:44 am
Sam, FOX first smeared Obama, then slimed Clinton and Edwards in their efforts to crawl out from the sewage and lay blame elsewhere. I have to give O’Reilly credit though, because this week he seems to have finally dropped his two-week search for the “truth” about why Shawn Hornbeck never left his captor, and has returned to safer ground: “The War On Christianity”

O’Reilly has his causes; that’s for sure. Some people like it; some hate it. But it’s what differentiates him from your typical ideologue.
Just as I don’t take something Lou Dobbs or Jack Cafferty says to represent CNN’s view, I don’t take something said by John Gibson or a Fox & Friends host to be FNC’s view.
I believe Mike was trying to say that he doesn’t like the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth dragged through the mud again whenever a liberal wants to spew out a new talking point. The fact remains that over 90% of the Swift Boat Veterans who knew John Kerry in Vietnam sided with SBVFT. And less than 1% sided with Kerry. When you invoke their name to further this week’s talking point, you insult a lot of American heroes.

Three things here: (1) FNC’s prime time programs continue their surge since the start of the year, leaving their opponents way behind. The ascendancy of the Democarts was supposed to reverse the numbers, which was so much mumbo-jumbo. (2) Despite his initial rise in ritings with his populism, Lou Dobbs gets stuck as a runner-up, even acknoleding his numbers remain respectable. (3) One begins to question the wisdom of Anderson Cooper getting a rise in his salary to $4 million yearly when he cannot even come close to O’Reilly’s repeat of his program at 11 pm.
Which makes me think that tweaks from CNN and MSNBC are nothing but futile struggles. FNC does not even have to look back who are behind them.
Comment by RGL — January 26, 2007 @ 10:55 am
I agree RGL, with everything you said! Some people on here were saying (and hoping) that FOX’s numbers would go down to maybe second place because the Dems won. LOL!!!!
I know alot of people on here talk about how great Anderson Cooper is but do they actually watch him? His numbers are always so low, are the people on this board the only ones that watch him? CNN has problems.
I do not watch MSNBC as much as I watch FOX but I do turn to it sometimes. With CNN, I never do (well maybe Nancy Grace, like when the boys in MO were rescued). Thats about it. And from the “numbers” it looks like I’m not the only one.
