what is the statistical zero viewers number? (ala donahue)
Someone from CNN should be winging their way to Pakistan to sign this guy up.
Hard to believe that 2MM people suffered through the drone of Christianne Armanpours vocal commentary.
CNN has a lot of airports. Do they count all those individual screens?
Binny has his own show on CNN? LOL!
It actually was a well-done chronology of Osama's rise and fall... They're repeating it on Saturday night and Sunday night.
Wolf certainly didn't hack Drudge. He's near the bottom of the ratings pile.
He's been on their payroll for a long time.
I was one of those who "suffered" through it. Actually, it was rather interesting and definitely frightening. At the end, it was emphasized that Bin Laden has gotten a fatwah from a cleric that clears him to kill 10 million Americans probably by using a nuclear device. We've been warned to convert to Islam, we haven't done it, so now we must die. I thought the whole show was extremely chilling. It was made clear that Bin Laden is just plain nuts.
Armanpour did a pretty good job. She even allowed a comment that Bin Laden wasn't killed when he could have been because one of Clinton's flunkies noticed a swingset near where they were going to lob cruise missiles.
Speaking of ratings, I just read this tonight on Media Bistro:
"On Tuesday, HLN talker Glenn Beck had his best night since launching in May. In the demo, he averaged 177,000 at 7pm, beating CNN, MSNBC and CNBC. He had another 146,000 at 9pm, beating MSNBC and CNBC. Among total viewers, he had 349,000 at 7pm and 380,000 at 9pm."

However, your synopsis of the program intrigues me and perhaps I'll watch when it's re-broadcast.
"he's been on their payroll for along time" Wrong.
CNN has been on his payroll for a long time.
She also made (let slip?) a comment placing Al Qaeda in Iraq. I almost choked.
I took a screenshot when I saw it. Thanks for posting this. Sure to upset lefties.
These numbers show that the American people are awakening to the facts that our country is in danger of being destroyed. This trend, whether heralded on CNN or Fox News, will continue unabated. MSNBC has no clue and will continue to wallow in the cellar with the scum and vermin Democrat Party. What the American voter really needs to do is to totally destroy the Democrat "Traitor/Treason" Party this fall. The Democrats are guilty of outright treason and should be treated accordingly. The "History" channel has been showing some frightening footage of the horrors of 911. This coupled with "United 93" and "World Trade Center" are telling the American peodple we are at war and under attack. Americans are finally beginning to face reality!!! American Jews better do the same, because the Democrat Party is no longer your friend. Some of the biggest USA Jew haters are right at home in the Democrat "Jew Hating" Party!!! Wake up sons of Abraham before some idiot left-wing Democrat causes you to lose your head and have your family and children slaughtered.
Man, MSNBC is doing awful. Olbermann leads because he's got his DU fan club.
Those small nukes and dirty bombs are already in the U.S. They were smuggled in right over our wide-open borders. Did you listen to that tape of a Sheriff played on Michael Savage? He was complaining about Al Qaeda and Hezbollah agents shaving off their beards and pretending to speak Spanish. But nobody sees the problem in D.C. Savage said that Bush ought to appoint the Sheriff to head up Homeland Security. He called Chertoff and "empty suit." LOL, LOL! 'Nuff said. Check my FR page. Over and out.
I really like Glenn Beck. The screaming match on H&C tonight along with the ENDLESS breaking news about Mark Karr landing in Colorado finally cinched it.
Beck has a unique style, common sense, and he almost always makes me laugh. H&C has just lost me.... it's like watching two parrots try to outscream each other.
Good to see on a non real-estate thread. :)
I only watched the second hour... but I was suprised at how fair this show was.
Even though it is cnn... I'd recommend it.
I demand a recount!
I post on non-real estate threads all the time. The naysayers created that false impression in your mind with all their rude antics.
Banks too. People in the lobby waiting on a teller will watch anything.
I thought Bin Laden was on CBS...
Yep, Beck is refreshing. He not only says the things nobody else does, or maybe is afraid to say, he's mastered the art of self-deprecating humor.
My hubby and I usually laugh out loud at least once or twice during the show.
I've noticed his demographics have really improved with total viewers. I know my parents (who are in their 80's) are hooked (guess they're sick freaks too, LOL.)
Every time we watch Beck I am amazed that CNN actually hired him.
I wonder how many keyboards he has ruined at CNN when their executives choke on something he said.... good times!
Every time he calls "President Tom" a "nutjob"...I laugh out loud.
I guess if his ratings continue to rise they'll let him rant on. He's moving up in the ratings and I don't think they'll look a "gift horse in the mouth."
