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!

Good morning all!

Well, it looks like the show to watch this week is Fox News Sunday. They are featuring this week two good interviews in General David Petraeus and pastor Joel Osteen. It sure beats last week, that’s for sure.

Meet the Press continues its series of interviewing the candidates with its interview of Ron Paul. The question is, which side of Ron Paul are we going to get: the reasonable one we saw on Face the Nation last month or the moonbatty one we see when he tends to be provoked? Plus, the other question: what side of Tim Russert are we going to see, the softy side he uses for Democrats or the jerk side he uses for Republicans?

Speaking of Face the Nation, they are also interviewing candidates, with Barack Obama representing the Democratic side and yet another nauseating appearance by Mike Huckabee. Apparently Mr. Huckabee is the hottest ticket in town for the Sunday talk shows and that should tell you something, something not so good if you are a conservative.

This Week features Rudy Giuliani a few days after another health scare propelled him back into the headlines at a time when Huckabee was starting to steal his thunder. He’s had a history of dropping out in situations (see: the New York 2000 Senate race against Hillary) like these but right now he’s still in it. How he performs with/against Stephanopoulos will be worth watching.

Late Edition is a “best of.”

Ratings analysis coming up...

SUNDAY TALK SHOW RATINGS ANALYSIS

NBC MEET THE PRESS....4,671,000 (34%) (+790,000)
CBS FACE THE NATION...3,321,000 (24%) (+379,000)
ABC THIS WEEK.........3,122,000 (23%) (+125,000)
FOX NEWS SUNDAY.......2,094,000 (15%) (-368,000)
CNN LATE EDITION........598,000 ( 4%) (+ 70,000)
This past week, for the fifth straight week in a row, more people watched the Sunday talk shows than the week prior. Most notable this week is the gains made by FACE THE NATION, who gained nearly 400,000 viewers from last week to rise to four month highs in viewers and audience share. MEET THE PRESS regained the large audience losses it suffered last week but because more people are tuning in it only regained half of the audience share from its high two weeks ago. THIS WEEK had modest gains.

The big loser this week is FOX NEWS SUNDAY, and given the fact that they were interviewing the likes of George Mitchell last week, we can see why. Fox lost 15% of its audience last week. All data (c)2007 Nielsen Media Research. Data includes cable replays. Live data and NBC replays from NBC press release; live data verified by ABC press release. Fox replays from TV Newser.

NO question JM and good morning to you, Petraeus could be Potus tomorrow if he ran,he is our kind of guy here on FR.

Looks like Wallace is beginning to get it. If he runs all rinos and libs like his buddies at the other rag nets he will wind up in the trash barrel along with them.

You’ve been up for awhile too. I saw a post from you on another thread I was reading a few hours ago.

I’m curious if anyone on these shows will mention the cancellation of the ‘double layered’ border fence passed last year along with all the consultation suddenly needed to build it.

While Americans in general prepared for the holidays, and began to look at the presidential candidates race, ‘they’ passed this in the night, and the fence wasn’t all!

My money's on the softy side. The MSM and the lib establishment actually have a vested interest in promoting Ron Paul in order to throw a monkey wrench into the GOP nomination and possibly into the general election, as a potential third party candidate.

Yeah I really look forward to Sunday morning! Looks like I have the entire day off as well. Hope things are going well in Colorado.

Did you ever get a chance to see this one?

This is the future, state by state the decision will be made as to whether or not to let the illegal invaders take over or not.

So far Oklahoma and Arizona are saying no to the illegals.

Not anymore than they will mention what is now going on with employer sanctions in OK and Arizona, its not in the DBM interest to do so. It must be done here.

Yes I did, as you know. The link source is even more interesting. The MSM and Democrats are in for a rude awakening, IMHO, over this issue. It does not appear to be going away, as they both hoped it would. Americans may be tolerant but most people have been stretched beyond their breaking point on it.
