I was thinking of the word mass than I looked at the one percent number and decided 1% was a poor representative of mass. You can call it mass all you want, but don't say it's ironic that they ridicule the other 99% >> He's not news and he has the largest audience on Fox > Oh. But why did you say Will said O'Rielly? Why are you stuck on that? Pay attention this time: Mo compared KO to BO in ratings saying KO was in second place behind BO. I pointed out that that was only in the time slot. $m to 1m and that 13 other cable news channel programs ranked higher. Willl stated it was ironic Fox, Beck, etc. Now, we're discussing whether Fox news is Mainstream and I'm taking the numbers from the highest rated show on Fox news channel, showing you how low they are compared to ABC, NBC and CNS numbers, not to mention radio news, papers and magazines. So from now on, just to not confuse you, I will refer to O'reilly's show as some guy that has the highest rating, SG for short. Maybe than you can focus on our little discussion and not get sidetracked :) > Is Beck a "news" program? Why this fixation on the extraneous? No. Will mentioned him and not SG remember? He used etc... to represent SG.

Did I claim that you claimed that? > Once again I'm left wondering, what, is your point? I pointed out KO's ratings are lower than 13 other shows on cable news channels and he was not second in ratings only behind SG. Will claimed having ratings better than KO made them part of the Mass media, I was just pointing out they are only a tiny little voice in the giant sea of media. > Besides the obvious, obviously. You don't like 'em. I get that. > Thanks for sharing! Well when people prop the ass up like some kind of successful hero I need to splash a little reality on them. >> So by that definition William Hung is the MSM. > > Maybe. Who is he? Sorry, he was so 2005. I'm not really up on my current 15 minute folks. > Not too good. :-) I bet I nailed it, but I'll take your word anyway. > Maybe you should slow down a bit. Let it sink in, ya know? After the first paragraph my eyes revolted. > As a pop-culture icon once said, "life moves pretty fast..." Is he dead? > Eh. I think he's pretty witty, but this isn't about that. Had you > been all like, "O'Reilly has toned it down too!", I'd be like, > "Woohoo!" for him too. I'm not discussing him, I don't even watch him or Beck. I was using SG's ratings as a comparison to the real MSM. > Their staple is "OH MY GOD THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!" though, so... > not holding my breath. Ah, that's why you're so bitter. That's not it at all. They have different opinions than you, they see the very long recession as a series of mistakes and inform people of their opinions as to what those mistakes are. Same thing as the witty guy you like, only they're probably correct since they don't worship liberalism. > I don't know. I don't watch MSNBC very often. You got me on PBS though. Mathews and KO drink the same kool-aid. That's obviously a different flavor from the one at Fox. > 30 million? Are you sure about that? It's an estimate, 30 - 40 million > Want me to wait while you go hit up the Nielsen site? Maybe > tvbythenumbers.com? That's like a bunch of ads, do you have a link to real numbers like I gave you? > Or should I just pull some numbers out of my ass, too? =) I noticed you didn't menti ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:331443 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
