SUNDAY TALK SHOW RATINGS ANALYSIS

Nielsen Media Research ratings composite for Sunday, November 25, 2007

PROGRAM	VIEWERS	CHG
NBC MEET THE PRESS	4,002,000	+203,000
CBS FACE THE NATION	2,356,000	-430,000
ABC THIS WEEK	2,655,000	- 92,000
FOX NEWS SUNDAY	2,256,000	+416,000
CNN LATE EDITION	577,000	+131,000

With some tweaking, I am now able to calculate the ratings for the Sunday talk shows for last week instead of the previous two weeks ago. Of note: after two weeks of decline, Fox News Sunday's interview of Fred Thompson created a spike that brought Fox to its highest numbers yet, approaching those of Face the Nation when factoring in the prime time replay. Meet the Press peaked past the 4 million viewer mark last week, continuing a strong upward run. We'll see how long this lasts, although I think I may need to revise the MTP numbers slightly upward because there's also a redeye broadcast on NBC around 2 am that gets about 100,000 eyeballs. Face the Nation continues to oscillate wildly. I don't know what's going on right now, its ratings for the past few months have been stable and now they're going up and down by 500,000 each week. This Week continues to slide after spiking four weeks ago.

FNC just had a PRO ABORTION REPUBLICAN as the “balance” in a Giuliani discussion about his security billing issue.

Some republicans for choice group.

more proof the dinosaur media is not dead and in fact is alive and manipulating well.

[longtermmemmory]

(rauls law at work)

FNC goes all pro-Giuliani all the time and their ratings plunge.

Must suck when their best ratings are a result of a massive bump from a RINO’s conservative opponent and they STILL can’t beat a clintonista staffer.

[Arrowhead1952]

I bet his spiel on how well The Hildabeaste performed under pressure (hostage situation) will be particularly brown, steaming and pungent.

Remember what Rush says.

Nothing that happens to the clintoons is coincidence.

With the "gay general plant" [plus others] at the Republican debates on the clintoon news network, being part of the Hildebeaste's gay and lesbian "steering committee", and getting basically caught, what else could they do? A convenient little "hostage" situation and have her "calm, cool and collected" in the eyes of the DBM.

How presidential of her to act like that. < /sarcasm>

[Bahbah]

Well, here’s Jim Webb.

How long to lie number one?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Juan Williams NOT on FOX panel today. Finally, he won’t get the last word.

[Bahbah]

Webb: al-Qaida had not been in Iraq before the invasion.

Didn’t even take 2 minutes for lie number one.

[Chuck54]

MTP Jim Webb has tied himself in knots with a yes or no question. Is the surge working?

He’s talked for 3 minutes and has yet to answer the question.

Jeez! Is he running for Hill’s VP?

[longtermmemmory]

Hillary Clitnon would be very good with a “one for the gipper” moment with a dying bill clinton or as a jackie o widdow.

Imagine the time magazine cover, “the new jackie o”

We already know the left dances on the coffins of the dead. (see cindy sheehan)

[Chuck54]

Fat Tim back to his usual. Webb has been filibustering for quite a while and not one “gotcha” interruption.

[Bahbah]

He’s talked for 3 minutes and has yet to answer the question.

LOL. That is just about what I was going to post. He's trying to show how knowledgable and nuanced he is.

[MNJohnnie]

Not one sane, thoughtful credible person on CNN. Nothing like packing the deck with Neo Isolationists Surrender Monkeys for a discussion on Iraq! And CNN wonders why people call them the Clinton News Network?

[maica]

Rove vs Van Hollen on FNS: no contest.

Karl does not have to stop talking to breathe. Wow! What a mind!

[Chuck54]

Biggest lie yet. The Washington Post has long editoralized for this war.

What?

[jmyrlefuller]

Watching Rove vs. Van Hollen on FNS. You can easily tell who’s the more reasoned one here.

Rove is saying “We can do this, here’s what we have to do.” Van Hollen is being a cheerleader. “We rule! Republicans suck!” This Van Hollen character is a clown.

[Bahbah]

Webb: The WaPo has strongly editorialized in favor of this war from the beginning. LOLOLOL.

(After Timmy read a long piece giving credit to the military, Petraeus and the President)

Webb loves the word “overarching.” He thinks it makes him sound really smart.

[NautiNurse]

Juan Williams NOT on FOX panel today. Finally, he won’t get the last word.

Today we'll see Nina Easton:

My baby takes the morning train,
He works from 9 to 5 and then,
He takes another home again,
To find me waiting for him.

Oh...that's Sheena Easton...never mind. Pardon the earworm. :o)

[tom paine 2]

bump

[jmyrlefuller]

Two words can describe what’s going on on FNS right now: cat fight!

[advertising guy]

webb is so boring fat Tim was yawning......
