Well, contrary to some of the Freepers here who yesterday were lambasting Hannity for not being tough enough on the pathological liar called Michael Moore (it's true, though, Hannity could've been more aggressive and actually effectively debunked him), it seems that FNC viewers didn't care. Hannity posted his best numbers in more than a week, coming within 42 of The Factor in the 25-54 demographic and besting Beck by 250 in the same demographic. And, to think: The Beckaholics on this site were already prematurely salivating over Beck's few days last week where he beat Hannity. Sorry to inform you, but unless Beck stops crying, eating on his program, venting about broad subjects (no matter how important) instead of focusing on specific news items like bills or policies, and venting (which includes pushing his own products quite heavily), he's always going to be number 3 behind Hannity at FNC.

don’t care who does it as long as they get the truth out

just get rid of Geraldo, shep smith and Mike Emanual at the white house.

The 3 of them are shouting the lefts bumper stickers

[VanDeKoik]

Uh, maybe it’s the fact that his show isnt in prime-time that’s the issue?

[bobby.223]

yep, but you will never get the nOOb beck hating trolls to understand something that simple.

Put Beck on prime time and watch him eat O'Reilly and Hannity lunch in the ratings war. In any case, this is not a fight between Hannity and Beck. They are all fighting the same evil in the White House in their own different ways.

I attended the 912 March on DC, and the one person who was mentioned over and over again, more than any other conservative was Glenn Beck.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Glenn Beck has nearly twice as many viewers as the other three combined. 589-311.

[mirkwood]

Shemp Smiff should be replaced by Beck. 1 hour. Watch and hear the cries and laments of the state run media.

[frposty]

You’d think the magnitude and breadth of FNC’s dominance would cause some changes in the programming of the competing networks for the financial reason that FNC is getting a lot more advertising money than the others.
