Please check out Phsstpok’s EXCELLENT Sunday Talk Show PRE-Thread. It’s a great way to hear analysis on why the DBM picks the guests, what they’ll probably discuss, and other pertinent facts. Also, check out his blog!

Ugh. What a weak lineup.

[Alas Babylon!]

As of this posting, we do not have awards up for last week's thread. Anyway, you are all winners in my book!

Stay tuned....

Thanks for the thread as usual AB-today will be Txsleuth's first shot at judging the thread.We wish her well.

I can't wait to hear Tom Delay he is still a favorite of mine but other than that very few guests to get excited about!
But who cares after yesterday! We kicked major butt in DC and showed the traitor/commies from Answer what the true "Answer" is and they didn't like it at all.

Thanks, AB & Good Morning to EveryOne.

From NBC's press release: "Meet the Press with Tim Russert" won the week ending Sunday, March 11, 2007 in all categories both nationally and in Washington, D.C. The show attracted 3.599 million total viewers, a 28% advantage over "Face the Nation", a 31% lead over "This Week" and 159% more than "Fox News Sunday".

All true, except that few facts were left out.

Meet the Press attracted 5.15 million viewers imediately after 9/11 attacks & maintained it for over an year. In 2004, it's viewers were dipped to 4.15 million. In 2006, it is 3.9 million. Now in 2007, it is 3.599million as stated in their release.

Is this progress for MTP? You decide.

Fox News Sunday & MTP lost 25 to 30% of their viewers, ABC's "This week" is the only show to gain some extra viewers, but that is not additional, but switch from other shows. FNS, however maintains a slight lead over ABC in Washington market alone. Overall collectively, sunday shows didn't gain ANY additional viewership, but it 's the other way.

CBS has Defense Secretary Robert Gates, probably to talk about Walter Reed.

Gates could better do Coulter-Read before his Walter Reed answer.

[rodguy911]

MTP is going down fast and no matter how the rat media tries to spin the truth the day will come(after we get rid of Chris wallace) when FNS out does MTP.

[rodguy911]

Brilliant piece Anita and must read for everyone especially those of us in business.
Everyone wonders why most production is sent over seas,why don't we make anything over here any more? Well here is the answer,and instead of things getting better they get worse!!.
Thanks democraps for destroying yet another function of capitalism, the right to get rid of dead or rotten wood.

[rodguy911]

freepmail for ya.

[anita]

after we get rid of Chris wallace

Morning, Rod. Agree 100% that Fox could do much better WITHOUT Wallace.

[jubail]

I don't watch any of the sunday morning political shows anymore. I tape the last half of FNS to hear what Brit Hume has to say. That way I can fast forward when Kristol(McCain)is speaking. The first half is unwatchable with Wallace. This show will never increase its audience as long as Wallace hosts it.

[rodguy911]

Thats for sure!
Never have I appreciated FNC as much as yesterday after enduring what seemed like an eternity watching C-Spam give us nothing but commie after left wing traitor with their "answer" rally while ignoring all the patriots that were there including FR participants. It was pathetic! I think they let us on for one short segment and that was it. Unbelievably biased.

[johnny7]

Chris Wallace needs a replacement... BAD!

You 're with the majority of Conservatives. However, now & then these people have to be challenged for their bias and to be exposed of their lies.

[snugs]

Freepmail to you

[rodguy911]

I often watch the Sunday shows just to get a jist for what the next DNC stalking points will be.

[ken5050]

Did anyhone give up watching the Sunday talk shows for Lent?

If so, is that really considered a sacrifice?

[Alas Babylon!]

No meat on Fridays and you must WATCH Tim Russert!
