Cable news ratings, November 17, 2010:

•On the ratings chart for Wednesday, CNN’s column may be stressful reading for execs at the Time Warner Center: Wolf Blitzer, John King, and Parker Spitzer all got nowhere near breaking a threshold considered critical: at least 100,000 viewers 25-54.

•Over at HLN, a standout Wednesday was the solid showing for the 11 p.m. Showbiz, which placed second with 150,000 viewers 25-54, beating AC 360 and Countdown.

Here’s the full scoreboard:

If my quick math is accurate, FNC beats all the competitors combined in every time-slot other than Great at 10:00 pm. That's amazing, when you think about it

The title had to be truncated for space considerations. It is in its entirety...

Sara Palin's Alaska attracted more viewers than all the total prime time averages of all cable news networks combined. (I know, I know, apples to horse apples ....)

I’m no programming director and I’ve never held any job in the tv or entertainment business, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night...
Do you think it’s their content and host line-up?

Sure there are braindead liberals still watching CNN and the other liberal / government dictated and/or suck-up channels, but the majority of Americans know when they are being lied to and deceived by media. The proof is in the ratings. The government cannot buy the minds of people who clearly see far more than the vacuous news anchors spouting propaganda. Sarah was correct, they can't put lipstick on a pig.

No wonder Jay Rockefeller wants to shut down Fox and MSNBC.

was channel surfing the other evening and stopped at Anderson cooper (don't know why) but he had on 2 democrat strategists and they both agreed that to ignore Sarah Palin you do so at your own peril. It was a message to the democrats, and shocked me that there are some democrats that get it...

I just read your post and turned on (The set went off when fagola Shep began) and put John King (CNN) on. They are discussing extending tax cuts and three of the four idiots are just spouting Democrap talking points. Sneering, snarky and sarcastic statements.

What an ugly program.

“Even worse than MSNBC? How is that possible?”

It’s easy..
CNN sold out any cred they ever had to get Obama elected. Time-Warner’s CEO even admitted it last month:
“We went too far left and lost the audience.”

Middle and right has moved to Fox, and what’s left is the crazies. Why watch a fake news show on CNN, when you can watch Comedy Central, or MSNBC?
