They should have reported on hope and success. People want to be uplifted. Leave the poisoning to Fox.

Maybe they turn it on at 5 and watch into Tucker or they turned it on somewhere in there and watch through Ingraham.

I guess Dems are out changing the world instead of being glued to their TVs.

I’d think The Today Show still gets a bid rating. ABC does have a news network but it’s not on here. Might not draw many viewers yet.

But when one includes broadcast networks, that's not the case.

http://www.ratingsryan.com/2021/08/news-ratings-week-ending-august-8-2021.html

ABC has on average about 7,407,000 viewers per night. Fox News Prime Time on the other hand has around 1,537,000 viewers per night

Is that any time you hear politics being discussed in public, it's *ALWAYS* whatever shit gets parroted on Fox News for the day, it's totally infuriating!

Rachel Maddow brought up a O'Reilly claim about his ratings, which he said were higher at the time.

Rachel showed 2 cable shows that beat O'Reilly's ratings, by a lot.

One was a reality show about a guy who still panned for gold the old-fashioned way.

The other was a panel discussion of one of those "Walking Dead" TV shows.

This speaks volumes to me.

Will it's summer and most people are outside or doing some else. Liberals have a life right-wingers don't. I think's is like the chick-fil-a. Most people go to other places and more choices. They're like a cult.

... are not the same viewers who are watching all those Faux Noise programs.

The Faux shows get "higher" ratings only because so many tv's are set to that channel and cannot be changed. It doesn't mean any live humans are actually watching the shows.

Just sayin'
