O'Reilly's Post-Election "Hemorrhage"
In response to this morning's post about Paula Zahn's ratings, a CNN insider says: "FNC should be less concerned with Zahn's performance and more concerned with the fact that O'Reilly continues to hemorrhage viewers month-over-month since October." Here are the monthly averages:
October: 3,166,000
November: 3,080,000
December: 2,610,000
January: 2,478,000
February: 2,391,000
March: 2,320,000
April: 2,178,000
May-to-date: 2,096,000
I don't know about you, but since the weather has turned nice I don't watch as much TV anymore. Rather be outside.
Wow, looks like Bill is really spinning alot of the folks out of the zone.
Name and town.
O'Reilly is an idiot. He conducts a politically correct broadcast jsut about every night jus in an attempt to pump up his audience #'s.
He isn't on much in this house anymore.He wouldn't care to hear this, but, I find his political correctness on some issues boring.
I've tried to watch O'Reilly but I can't stand someone who asks his guest a question and then is too rude to let them answer it. He seems to do this everytime. He asks a question and then talks continuiously while they are trying to answer.
LHe is worth watching about three minutes... the initial commercial time!.
Billy Boy started believing the press he was giving himelf. Now he's just another common feeder celeb-type talking head.
Running out of spin, Bill?
It's time to start the "Draft Ann Coulter" movement.
I have not watched the O'Reilly show in a very long time.it got to the point that he was getting to stuck on himself.
Whatever happened to that woman who claimed he harassed her? Did she get paid to go away?
He lost me along time ago, he's a pompos pc loudmouth
Too much news and talkradio will make you go blind and give you a bad outlook on life. Fortunately this miserable winter is now over and I can take my bad attitude outside and work on my lawn and flowers.....
the moment he said that no one really knew who OBL would vote for (context was that vote for dhimmis = vote for OBL) is the moment I switched him off permanently.
I'm proud to state though that we turned O'reilly off long before that!
AV
Same here Robert...........
I'd much rather watch Chris Mathews who always gives his guests plenty of time to answer any and all questions.
LOL!
O'Reilly and Boortz seem cut from the same cloth. While both make some good points, who the heck wants to listen to a couple of lawyers being obnoxiously, smarmily, pretentiously right all the time?
I do not like O'R but these stats are sour grapes from CNN. They start in November when all political shows were high and now the stats are back to "normal". I wonder what CNN's stats are now compared to November.
I thought it was something else that did that?
Anyway, I know what you mean. I'm in the mood for a few hits of "Seinfeld" in the evening - not the news.
"Chrissy's"....lol

... grows hair in your palms...
Put Rush Limbaugh in his time slot (they'd have to dispense with "fair and balanced" for an hour per day but ratings would go through the roof.)
thanks for reminding me..I have just returned to an old tag line..
I wonder if American Idol being on at the same time has any effect on this?
The second O Reilly turned away from the prez because we hadn't found stockpiles of WMDs, I turned him off. Haven't watched him once since.
Post the sex scandal, he is unwatchable.
He is pompous and arrogant. Makes my skin crawl.
Used to like him.......
I doubt that Rush will ever do another TV show.
He states he is, was a lawyer at one time, doesn't he?
No bar?
There have been times I have strongly disagreed with O'Reilly. But he is one of the few who has dared to take on the ACLU for its stand on pedophiles, has criticized Rev. JJ, and now is putting much needed focus on our border problems. And often O'Reilly is interesting.
As for asking guests questions and not letting them answer, no one on earth can be as bad as Chris Matthews. O'Reilly's style is far more appealing than Matthews. Why is every one beating up on O'Reilly?
O'Reilly is pretty obnoxious. Doesn't seem to be very talented. Compare Rush -- no comparison.
I lost whatever respect I had for him when he attacked the Swiftvets without even reading John O'Neil's book or interviewing any of them. He proved that, in addition to being a swollen-headed blowhard, he was happy to be deliberately ignorant about the most important story of the 2004 campaign and commit journalistic malpractice.
Hannity is O'Reilly minus the intellect.
Nope.
Warts
when o'reilly took the low road in his scandal( protecting his family), bull, for his actions brought his family to risk, PLUS taking the " democratic talking points views on WMD- NOT the primary reason for invasion of Iraq, I then realized he is in fact a politically correct closet liberal, and have not watched nor missed him since- he got his ratings, was ruling the world, and then thought he can just be true to himself,( he is now exposed) and the truth of that will cause his continued slide, he is flaming out, watch him burn
If you blow too hard, you burst the bubble.
Hannity is minus the intellect...
Well stated. Excellent point. I didn't have the guts to say that here.
When you try to be in the "middle of the road" in politics, you usually get run over.
That is what is happening to O'Reilly. Neither the libs nor conservatives like him----that results in a declining audience.
He also pooh-poohed the Rathergate story right off the bat. Took him weeks to get catch up.
Let it bleed.
Another nail in his coffin.
O'Reilly was OK for me until I noticed that he seemed impaired at times. The last straw for me, though, was his pro-Greer stance in Terry Schiavo's murder. I don't watch him anymore.
In this household he lost out to the Home & Garden channel. That says something.
orielly is a good indicator of liberals who have zero opinions of their own.
lots of liberals believe their crazy nonsense, but the "thats what I heard" type liberals all thing Orielly is the most right wing person that ever lived.
i spun out of the bombastic zone maybe 3 years ago. I can only tolerate so much bloviating.
