Ratings on the Fox interview

[rads]

Note to Bush: calling in favors from friends in the media only works if people actually pay attention.

Ratings

"Data from Nielsen Media Research released on Tuesday showed that a one-hour interview with U.S. President George W. Bush on Fox came dead last in the hour among the six major broadcast television networks in both total viewers and audiences aged 18 to 49."

"The results showed the Bush interview, conducted by Fox News chief correspondent Brit Hume from the Oval Office of the White House, drew an average of about 4.30 million viewers in the hour, with a 1.6 rating and a 5 share in the crucial audience of adults ages 18 to 49."

...

"The Bush interview trailed an episode of UPN's comedy "The Parkers" and the series premiere of the comedy "Eve," starring the singer of the same name. Those two shows together averaged about 4.49 million total viewers and around a 2.0/6 in the 18-49 group."

2. I especially liked this quote:

"I suppose we shouldn't be surprised," Thompson said. "We've known when people are turning on prime-time for entertainment, they're often looking for something that is an anesthetic, not something that fulfills their civic duty as a voter in the republic."


So now they want us to believe that it's our civic duty to watch Bush bullshit with Britney . .. I mean Brit?
