Americans' TV viewing habits show that most are brain-dead anyways.

[Shermy]

Wait ... funnier was the guy making the mint julep for his girlfriend.

[nospinzone]

I do feel sorry for Nick, jessica simpson makes the blond jokes come to life.

From what I read, it seems Simpson is best known for splitting her pants multiple times on stage.

[Rodney King]

Yeah, I couldn't beleive it. Apparently she drank it. Anyway, I thought storing the cheese in his sweat rag was the highlight of the show.

Why is Drudge ticked at Fox News??

[Shermy]

I forgot about that. That was funny.

[nwrep]

Why is Drudge ticked at Fox News??

They kicked him off 3 years ago. And then he had the spat with O'Reilly last year. Drudge can be very petty. I am surprised people here do not see this.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Well O'Reilly is a pompous, self-serving, opportunistic, hypocritical, windbag, so I can't really blame Drudge for having a beef with him.

I wish I had a link to that thread where some researcher applied word counting technology, and found that O'Reilly talked more than the guests he was interviewing.

[Timesink]

Ratings are irrelevent in a TIVO world.

I wouldn't say we live in a TiVo world, not yet anyway. They only have around 800,000 subscribers.

In any case, Nielsen counts TiVoed shows as watched programs.

[Prodigal Son]

Apparently, Drudge is not willing to let honest reporting stand in the way of his pettiness.

Yawn...

I've never seen any of those shows anyway- and won't.

[Prodigal Son]

Take it back. I have seen Larry King a long time ago.

O'REILLY: I just want to tell everybody that Matt Drudge is smoking crack - right now, in South Miami Beach on Washington Avenue, he has a pipe in his ear. (laughter)

IMUS: He has his own pathetic little radio program that runs Sunday night someplace on some nothin' station ...

O'REILLY: And he smokes crack all during that program. (laughter) And the authorities should know it.

IMUS: He's probably upset with - he's clearly upset with you.

O'REILLY: It's a tragic situation. But it's a disease, Mr. Imus. And there's no cure other than to kill Matt Drudge. (laughter).

Now why would Drudge possibly harbor a grudge against O'Reilly?

[Jumper]

Even Americans concerned with the direction of the Country cannot continuously watch Spin. They needs news. It has been over ten years since the Clinton Spin maching took control of the democrat party and recycled talking points to the liberal news media....

Investors with watch financials, sports fans sports shows, queer eyes - well you get the picture:)

[thegreatbeast]

Talk about obsessed: O'Reilly was going off on Franken again Tuesday night with some guy from The Progressive. It is really getting embarassing. Fox is going to have to sue Bill to STFU!
