4. Here's the transcript:
But the winner tonight, Brian Lewis, the press flack at FNC, that's FOX News Channel. He responded to the fact that we had called out his company again on its latest set of on-air news atrocities, but telling “The Associated Press,” quote, “Perhaps Jeff Zucker should think twice about tying his future, not to mention the reputation of General Electric, to an unstable ratings killer like Keith, who uses an NBC property for his personal attacks.”

So lots of ways I can go here, but since they use ratings the way rich people use money, just a thought here, Bry. How are those ratings doing for “Geraldo Rivera At Large”, “Nanny 911, “Arrested Development,” “Stacked,” “FOX Sports Net,” “Bones,” “Andy Richter Controls the Universe,” “Titus,” “Wanda at Large,” “A Minute with Hooper,” “Cedric the Entertainer,” “Pasadena.”

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

OLBERMANN: “That '80s Show,” “Normal, Ohio,” “The Tick,” “Cracking Up,” “The War at Home,” “Popeye's Voyage,” “FOX and Friends,” first. Bill O'Reilly's viewers under the age of 90. All right, well that's about half the list.

5. Interesting that FOX refers to the influence of media owners on content
I suppose that means FOX is "thinking twice" about Murdoch's reputation.

6. Keith came very close to calling FOX what they really are.........
Edited on Tue Jan-10-06 02:11 PM by ClintonTyree
in his introduction he said, "Brian Lewis, the press flack at FNC, that's FOX (then you hear the partial word "nots", as in Nazi) News Channel". KO's really pushing the envelope there! :wow:

7. I hope the management of MSNBC
doesn't try to rein in Olbermann.
He's becoming quite a hero to those of us on the left. :patriot:

16. More amazing that
nestled in there were some GREAT shows... that just required a tiny bit of intelligence to 'get' them.
Fox doesn't take any chances, they'll just go straight for the lowest common denominator. If their audience base can't 'get' a show within 5 minutes, BAM, off the air.

15. A note about Cedric the Entertainer
A possible gentle correction about Cedric. The story I heard is that his show wasn't canned because of poor ratings or reputation. It was cancelled because Fox executives reputedly told Cedric that if he wanted another season, he had to put more white people on the show and generally point the moral compass back in the watermelon and pickaninny direction.

Cedric told them to fuck off.

This is according to what I've heard on the street, so perhaps you shouldn't take my word for it.

14. and I LOVED Andy Richter
It seems unfair to list it among Fox's flops, although I guess that's exactly what it was.
Damn good show, though. Too good for Fox, obviously.

13. Thank you Canofun!! Linux compatibility ROCKS!!
I clicked one of the links on Canofun. Obviously somebody there is listening. Kudos to them.

Linux compatibility is perfect. Just install "MPlayer Plug-in" and Firefox brings up the video perfectly.

Thanks again, Canofun.

Oh, and :kick:ed.

19. Despite its ratings, Andy Richter Controls the Universe was a great show
Keen Eddie was a rather amusing show as well. Though I did get a nice belly laugh out of the "Bill O'Reilly viewers under 90" jab.

20. Can we please go back to direct-download links? I hate this streaming...
Please put the WMV files back up. I hate this streaming stuff. I like to have the videos on-hand in case your site goes down.
