I wonder if it's going to be possible to move him up in the rotation or if Fox contracts guarantee a time slot.
Why do people watch O’Reilly? How can they STAND it? He’s so oily and self-absorbed. Plus there is that falafel thing that I can never forget.
Maybe they could let Oriley co-anchor Shep Smith and give Beck Orileys slot.
I would like to see FNC swap Shep Smith and Beck. Moving Beck to the 7PM ET slot would likely put him ahead of BOR on a very regular basis, IMO.
Is sick that Olby gets over 1 million?
Two shows on FOX solo doing better or close to it than MSNBC’s top 3 combined...just amazing.
Fox News is on top with over 15,000,000 viewrs among all of it’s shows, that is a good sign.
Are y’all listening to Beck right now. He has opened a BIG can of whoop ass today! You go get those damned politicians, Beck.
Didn’t Larry King once have really high ratings?
Your points about O’Reilly are on target however, he does have a good monologue and often excellent guests...if he lets them speak, his worst fault is talking over people...anyhoo...refresh me memory, what is the “falafel” thing? *~*
Hee hee. If any show on Fox News Network was pulling in as few watchers as Olbermanure, it would be pulled for poor performance.
That would be great. I tell ya, I really like that guy more and more every day. When he first came on Fox I thought he was a bit of a blowhard. Now, He is one of my favorites. The funny thing is so many think he is out of the mainstream. Let me tell you, fifty years ago, hell 30 years ago, everyone was like Beck. If Fox every fired that guy I’d never watch them again.
Beck, “Washington, Get out of the way!”
The only celebrity real man of the moment.
Love to see Greta kicking AC180’s a** at 10pm. I think that’s the biggest head to head wipeout - almost 5 to 1.
The only reason O’Reilly beat out Beck is because O’Reilly is riding the coat tails of Beck. Remember when Beck came out with the New Orleans ACORN offices thing? Beck did the investigating and then O’Reilly had Beck on his show and beat his chest like it was HIS story. He (O’Reilly) sat there and talked big about how he was going to take this to the wall and call the Louisana governor and demand he investigate that New Orleans office. So far, all we’ve heard is O’Reilly, a couple of times, saying how he has the governor investigating, at HIS insistance. Big Effing Deal !!!!!!
A force to be BECKONED with!
It's all media hype, the country is fed up with this socialist trying to take over our country, but the MSM & print media continue to LIE, LIE, LIE!
He's got the worst numbers for a prez in the WH for mere months, cause he immediately tried to turn us into a THIRD WORLD country & ram things down our throats!
That fella is the only real man I’ve seen in a good long while. Doesn’t say much for my life, does it??? LOL
~</;o)
Go Glenn Go! You are right on target. No melt down this time OK - we have your back.
Beck beat OReilly last Friday
Not really. That number coincides with the number of severely mentally ill in America.
Watching Beck now. He is tearing the ba****s up.:)
You can betBOR doesn’t want to lose his throne to Glenn...not gonna happen for a while.
I like a man who can back up his rant with facts, figures and photos!!!!
Foxnews Beck 958
CNN Blitzer 145
PMSNBC Mattews 184
It’s pretty amusing that the real cable news wars are internal to Fox.
That is why I said “celebrity” real man.
I’m keeping my real men to myself, thank you.
It makes one wonder if MSNBC and CNN have just given up on ratings and are completely dedicated to cheerleading for the Chosen One. They may make more money in stimulus dollars and special contracts from the ‘bama than advertising.
I should have pushed the Health Care off the front page but the State Run Media is refusing to report it. Fox has reported it 19 times, CNN etc has reported it zero times. They all mentioned the firing but that was it. Don't worry Beck is still pushing it along with other things.
Should have watched his show today it was great.
Get rid of O’Reilly. I can’t stand to watch this blowhard. I switch channels when he comes on. Watch anything but -
Can’t understand why his numbers are so high. No one I know watches him.
My favorite show on Fox is Greta. She's going to be the odd one out, because if they do move beck, it'll be right after BOR. Hannity would get pushed back to 10.
He’s top dog. No way he’s going anywhere.
Geesh, CNN is no where.
Remember when O’Reilly was busted by his female employee for constantly trying phone sex on her on the phone without her consent? He would call her to discuss work, then tell her what he was doing with his sex toy and what he wished he could do with her? This was all while his wife was pregnant.
Well, she took him to court and taped some of these calls. In the court docs there was a transcript of one of his calls with her, and he is wishing he could be with her in the shower, and rub her breasts with a falafel.
A falafel is a middle-eastern pita sandwich. He probably meant loofah (sponge). It’s something I can’t un-remember though I have tried. Now you will think of it as you watch him.
