A sad testimony of the media-centric world in which we now live, isn't it.

The primary news source for males under 35 is "The Daily Show", an admittedly fake, and biased news show. As Goebbell's knew, he who control's the message, controls the narrative.

According to the May Nielson ratings, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart beat the entire Fox News network in terms of total viewers. Stewart averaged 2.3 million viewers, while the Fox News prime time and day time line up averaged 1.85 million viewers.

Let me break out my copy of Lies, Damned Lies & Statistics.

Apples and oranges,

To illustrate what the idiots are doing, they are comparing THE ONE apparently successful "progressive" show with the average of all shows on Fox for a 24 hour period probably including infomercials.

Not holding my breath for a direct comparison against the top Fox shows...

John Stewart beats the 24 hour average? What is the comparison in aggregate viewers?

So is his 2.3 million the combined total of his 7 o’clock and 11 o’clock shows. But then they dont compare Stewarts ratings to O’Reilly or Hannity’s ratings and compare it to the averaged out ratings but both day and nighttime. Day time ratings will of course be lower since FNC viewers actually have jobs.

And this is why this country is on it’s last leg. I’m not convinced a GOP takeover of the WH and congress will do any good. I know it won’t do any good if rinos take charge.

I’ve seen some ratings spun before, but this article takes the cake.

They’re comparing the numbers of a HALF HOUR show with the average of the ENTIRE Fox daily and primetime line-up.

Does Comedy Central have a daily and primetime news line-up to compare? No. Game over.

As for as individual shows go... Bill O’Reilly still beats him. So Stewart is NOT the highest anything. Swish. Game over again.

Fox News has seen its better days. Who wants to watch, Krauthammer, Juan Williams, O’Reilly, Mora, Geraldo, Kristol and all? Fox is a waste of time. Cash Cab, Deadliest Catch or American Chopper are a better view.

Higher perhaps because he has now started to mock and attack The Messiah.

Doesn’t do it often, but he does do it.

Maybe Fox should spend less time getting rid of Glenn Beck, promoting BOR, keeping the repeating Hannity, and going more liberal as they do everyday.

So the “Daily Show” averaged 2.3 million viewers?

Coincidentally, that is almost exactly the number of FOX NEWS’ primetime viewers in the latest tally - which was this Thursday:

2.24 million viewers.

Bill O’Reilly eclipsed Jon Steward by several hundred thousand, at 2.8 million the latest day tallied, which was Thursday of this week.

It makes perfect sense. Most people who watch the daily show think it’s comedy, not politics. Same with shows like Saturday Night Live. The left are masters at using the entertainment media to insert their message into the brains of idiots.

It is funny at times but it’s propaganda unlike anything we’ve seen in history. The court jester who hates God is now a “News Source”.

All “Americans” need to make sure this is off their tivo as this is where they measure from. We are giving power to the enemies of our freedom...and laughing.

"...while the Fox News prime time and day time line up averaged 1.85 million viewers."

Funny how they didn't compare CNN/MSNBC prime time and day time line up of shows or Comedy Centrals stellar prime time and day time line up of shows like "Tosh.0" "RENO 911" and "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" with Fox's lineup?


Think that might have lowered the numbers in Jon Stewart’s s favor



Naw, they wouldn't do that, would they?
