PERSPECTIVE: Less than 1/5 of ONE PERCENT of Americans are watching CNN
About the same figures apply to Faux and MSNBC.

They can spin the White House line all day but they are only reaching about 600,000-700,000 pairs of ears during the day each. And pretty much all of those are people whose politics are pretty firm.

They are definitely not worth our time, efforts or energy.

JMO.

1. Hardball has a .1 rating
But, that will not stop legions of DU'ers from agonizing over Chris Matthews every word.

2. It's probably more effective to get anti-bush sentiment
going on The Daily Show (where more Americans get their news, than probably should) and much more effective to get him slammed by Letterman and Leno.

4. Probably a good portion of those 'viewers' who are sitting in airports
doctor's offices, and other places where they think the "news" is the only thing that people won't fight over - and even then chances are they can't even hear a damn word being said.
