Ratings info Cable News Primetime for Tuesday (Vanity)
Media Bistro ^ | 8/31/2006

Posted on 08/31/2006 5:01:13 AM PDT by dawn53

I don't always get a chance to catch Beck's show, but have the last couple of nights, and he's on fire, IMHO. Great stuff... totally non PC, saying stuff I'm not believing I'm hearing on a CNN affiliate, his dialogue with the ACLU guy last night was priceless, exposing them for their inconsistencies. Anyhoo, I decided to check his numbers. He's creaming Hardball and Scarborough, according to mediabistro, check the link.

I agree with you about Beck, but IMO it doesn't take much to cream Hardball and Scarborough.

Right, but at first media bistro was saying "poor Glenn"...the show is destined for failure, they can't even beat Matthews or Scarborough. But 4 months out, and it seems to be catching on. What amazes me is at first it did well in the younger demographic, but now he's picking up older viewers as well.

While I don't always agree with him and he's a bit off the wall at times, the man is a refreshing change from the usual predictable blather coming from every other cable program. And that includes FNC.

Beck is good. He certainly doesn't fit the CNN profile. It makes you wonder why he is still on that pathetic network.

Anything on PMSNBC would come in just below a Billy Mays "KABOOM" infomercial.

In the past few weeks I have found myself switching over from Hannity & Clueless to Glen's new show at 9pm ET. I have to say his show is refreshing! He tells it like it is with humor and at times the facts about Iran are chilling, to say the least.

Ron Popeil has more people in his studio than Keith Olbermann has watching his show.

I completely agree with you. I don't even watch FNC after 7pm any more. I can't stand any of them except Hannity and even he has become boring with the same talking points of his. I listen to the radio instead.

The little I have seen of Beck is that he comes across as a Centrist, which on CNN makes him a right-wing kook. Of course he will quickly kick the butt of the entire Scarborough/Oberman/Mathews. When will cable realize Bush-hating only appeals to the whacky Dummies.

And the cheer with more sincerity.

I skip Shep and watch Glenn instead. He's exactly the voice I've been waiting for.
