Brit Hume's interview with VP Dick Cheney attracted more than 2.1 million viewers on Wednesday night, making Special Report the #1 program on cable news.

The 6 p.m. time slot delivered 2,101,000 total viewers, including 513,000 in the 25-54 demographic. Hume beat O'Reilly by a few thousand viewers in P2+...

Way to be, Brit.

[Sybeck1]

Brit would own prime time cable, if he wanted to be on then.

[mlc9852]

I just love to see the other news stations stew. Fox continues to laugh at them.

[Txsleuth]

Good news....and I bet that Brit would beat O'Reilly more if his time slot was better for the part of the country WEST of New York!!

[Cicero]

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

The angry idiots in the MSM tried to make this nonstory into a huge story, even an impeachable offense, and Brit Hume reaped the benefits! And Cheney got a good audience to see him as he really is.

Who is usually #1 on cable news?

Does anyone beat him in his time slot?

[bwteim]

He needs to show this clip in his end of the program segment sometime. See link in post:

Ha Ha Ha. Would this be same network that Cafferty called that F-word network or something to that effect? Sorry Cafferty, I guess the viewers don't feel the same as you.

[McGruff]

Hume #1 always.

Best thing that ever happened to Brit Hume, and us:

Bill Clinton got mad at him, threw him out of the WH press club.

Nice.

[Fawn]

Does anyone have the homemade songs going around..."Cheney's Got A Gun"...(From Aerosmith's song). Schnitt played 2 excellent ones that are so funny.....but isn't making them available. IS there someplace to get them?

[Space Wrangler]

Hume, like every other Fox program is consistently #1 night after night. I think Larry King sometimes edges out Greta if his guest is of particular interest, but Fox shows, as a rule of thumb will generally have twice as many viewers as CNN. MSNBC, in most time slots,doesn't even register.

[Terpfen]

O'Reilly. The only thing that usually beats O'Reilly is Hannity & Colmes, but that doesn't happen too often.

[marlon]

But, but, but I thought only crazy right wingers watch Fox. Really why couldn't David Gregory be given this interview, he so deserves it.

[kajingawd]

And the Washington/Newyork Media are scorned bytches.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

America has spoken and we like Bonnie interviewing Clyde...ha ha. This is too funny. This has to be CNN's and PMSNBC's worst nightmare? Anybody seen Jack Cafferty?? ha ha!

[Screamname]

Didn`t Brits son get whacked by Clinton, or seem to get killed by the Sociopath in Chief? I always found this to be one of the more bizarre stories of the Clinton holocaust in the `90`s.

[Al Gator]

With that bunch of hooligans, anything is believable.

I do remember that Brit was pressing Clintoon on some minor point, and being really polite about it.

Clintoon raged for days, and the lap dog lackeys and other running dogs of the MSM beat Brit over the head. If you compare that with what those hyenas do to Bush, its nothing.
