A new episode of CSI got a 14.0/22 share (Grey's Anatomy had a rerun) and although it didn't affect Hannity and Colmes, it may have hurt CNN where "Larry King Live" had an unusually low Thursday night overall number.

No, sorry. Pointing that out your hypocrisy doesn't make me a 'hypocrite', but it DOES make you a name caller.

No. You probably should have put that as a top obsession over him being obsessed with the bush admin. Him constantly being critical of the Bush admin is not obsession, but just disagreeing in everything they stand for, much like most democrats. But see, BOR is just as obsessed with Olbermann as he is NBC. This whole attack on NBC is simply his way of getting back at Olbermann. Because in the words of BOR, "You dont go after the rappers, you go after their masters." Did i ever say that KO wasnt obsessed with BOR?

My impression is they both take a moderate “I want to be loved by everyone” point of view. There is no Liberal or Conservative edge or passion to their opinion show. Very low energy and little enthusiasm. Maybe they are conservatives reading lines written by moderates. At times they seem pained by what they just read.

I don't watch Countdown but from what I read here he doesn't but that is only one program out of many. Also there is a big difference between simply having a guest on from the other side as a token gesture and actually having a guest on that can clearly express their opinion without being ridiculed, interrupted and/or having their comments spun.

With a show that is one everday, Im looking at the overall ratings for the week, and not just one or two days. Shady, Scarborough isnt doing so bad in the post countdown slot. He gets a decent 500,000 a night, which isnt bad for him. Tucker however doesnt get viewers because he has one of the most annoying personalities on TV. Also, lets be realistic, all the conservatives flock to Fox, so where is the appeal for JOe? Oh and talking about your stupid little ratings shady, I believe for the obsession category, you forgot to put Billo and his obsession with NBC news. But its pretty obvious your "true" ratings contain just a hint of bias. Hey Chet, This is how i will defend them.

Now someone may surely say the same of FNC, but if they suggest that its viewers are almost entirely righties then you would also have to assume that well over half of the total viewers of cable news ARE right of center; which may be true?? …..well chet, MSNBCCP certainly has its core audience and members of move on orgasm and the likes.
