Da Big Mo Bump!
YEEEEEEEHAAAAAA(/dean)
Y'all - this was the Fox Network, not the FoxNews Channel they're talking about...
But still - it's way cool that the 'Big-3' got smoked.

I think this had more to do with American Idol being the lead in than Fox Networks coverage.

People are turning off the media spin that SOTU was stepping on 'rats primaries.
To: Keith in Iowa
Are you saying the NY Post is incorrect? "...anchored by Shepard Smith"...he's on fox news channel. I would highly doubt fox network beat out fox news and that the post got it that wrong.
To: kattracks
Know we watch Fox News...24/7!

Hmmm - this might be some insight into Rather's comment the other day that soon the broadcast networks might not be carrying the SOTU anymore. He probaably gets this info way before we do.
To: kattracks
Way to go FOX!
To: kattracks
WOW, considering the number of households that don't get cable or DISH this is HUGH!
People are voting with their feet and the "Big 3" are STILL blind and in denial that their liberal bias is crushing them.
To: kattracks
The Democrat Party is in total denial that 911 ever occurred. So would I be, if I knew I was directly responsible for being the direct cause of so many innocent Americans and military personnel being slaughtered and wounded on our own and foreign shores! The Media is in total denial about its liberal bias and it is not only the alphabet networks that are dying. Newspaper readership is down dramatically except for the Wall Street Journal. They just don't get it. It is going to get worse for them (The Demcrats & Media). The Democrat Party has given the American people two certified mental cases as "viable" candidates for POTUS, Howard Dean and Wesley Clark. Dean has already imploded and is toast. Clark is not far behind. The American people will come to realize that this current Democrat Party needs to be put out of its misery by being destroyed at the ballot box this year (2004)!

Does anyone out there have the numbers for C-Span, CNBC, MSNBC and of course, the Clinton/Communist Network?
To: kattracks
Fox Rocks and Brit Hume rules!
To: kattracks
The LAST think I want to hear is Jennings, Rather, Blitzer, et al explaining to me what the President really said.
I only believe Brit, Fred Barnes, and Charles Krauthammer.
