Amazing Beck is so high already. Also amazing there are 928,000 masochists watching Olderman.

I strayed from Fox (and any other cable news) for a long time, but the combination of getting the channel in HD and keeping up with the slime-in-chief has me watching it again.

Nor did Wolf Blitzer. Wolfie just reported how England welcomed the troops with open arms and not a word crossed his lips about the attacks on the troops by England's beloved Muslims. They must really love these Muslims for why else do they keep admitting them?

Glen Beck is becoming my favorite hour of TV - He had 3 excellent guests today: Robert George, Bill Donohue, and Rabbi Mark Gellman. The rabbi was a bit wishy-washy, but Donohue and George were excellent. I’m happy to see Glen’s numbers up there. I hope he surpasses BORe.

I’ve been watching Beck since the show started, and now he has me thinking I should pick up some M&Ms at the store (I’m not even much of a chocolate person).

I agree on Beck. I record the show and watch it every evening in roughly the time slot occupied by BOR.

I think Beck will pass O’Reilly by the end of the year.

Speaking of BOR—why on earth is he the most popular? I don’t even watch tv, but when there’s a UTube about him posted on FR, I watch that. He gives me the creeps with his pomposity!

Probably because he’s a populist and appeals to more of the masses.

Nice to see his show is working out well for Beck. I use to listen to him in the DFW area and how nervous he was when he was first planning his show, and how worried he was that it would bomb, and the differences in radio and tv...lololol

He really is one of those good guys

928,000 are from the Airport terminals across the country with tvs that air MSNBC. So in reality nobody is really watching.

Yet Dems dominate elections.

There is a disconnect here.

Thanks for posting this. I’m particularly glad to see Glen Beck doing so well. I’m sure he’s very glad he came on board. Go FOX!

even more amazing is Beck is on at 5, an awful time slot. If he was on at 8 or 9, he’d do much better. Surprised to see Greta slipping a bit. I guess it’s the daily give and take. There’s not really a big natalee holloway type thing that she does so well. Only a matter of time before she has Gov Palin on again, Greta seems to be her show of choice, although she’s been on Beck’s show a few times.

How does Hannity compare to what he used to get with Colmes?

I have to watch it in the morning before I go to work. If I try to watch it when I come home, I get so angry that I can’t get my adrenalin levels back down.

Fox needs to repeat the show in prime time. West Coasters need TiVo or a VCR/DVD to record because it comes on so early.

O'Reilly, the Irishman of course.

Something his critics call him.

No question...Beck's show is always packing with the info that makes your blood boil. He ripped on Houston politicians during that segment re: the police officer who had been shot by the illegal. As for Donohue..? I'm not Catholic, but he was AMAZING...would like to see a few million more of him out there.

Rush's audience increased big time

80% of Rush's radio ad space sold for the entire year.

Gun sales for January and February are way up over the same period last year. Any manufacturer would love their numbers.

Fox again takes the top spot, with huge numbers.

Sales of National Review are up over last year. One of the few magazines that can say that.

Yep, Obama’s stimulus seems to be working.

Nancy Grace beat out K. Olberman. R. Maddows will probably start sinking soon. Her smirking and fake demeanor can get annoying.

Shep: may his ratings continue to fall as he continues to lurch leftward.

Bill O’Reilly exposes bad judges and speaks out for children's interests. Too few in the media do this.
