Bill O’Reilly under ratings pressure from Glenn Beck

[SuperTrouper]

The O’Reilly Factor” has long been hailed as “the most watched cable news show on TV,” but it looks like Bill O’Reilly’s reign may be coming to an end.

The Irish-American political pundit was beat out by fellow conservative commentator Glenn Beck, whose Fox show has been receiving higher ratings.

According to last Friday’s cable TV news ratings, “Glenn Beck Show” was the most watched news program with 2,590,000 viewers.

O’Reilly’s Fox show ranked in at number two with 2,185,000 viewers.

4. It's a natural progression of insanity

O’Reilly isn't enough any more.

5. Billo ain't gonna like that

You know his fragile ego can't handle shit like that. He'll be trying to undercut Beck every chance he gets.

Should be worth about a ton of :popcorn:

[polmaven]

7. And I'll bet he will try to....

DO IT LIVE!!!!!

6. We should have designated watchers/listeners...

To the various burning stupid shows, so we don't boost their ratings watching or listening to a train wreck!

They need watched though, no question.

9. It will be fun to see the "autos de fe" at Faux News when Godzilla O'Lielly

goes against Mothra Beck... :popcorn:

8. Blotchy vs Weepy

Same amount of interest as "Bear baiting beats Jello wrestling".

10. Ooooh...Let's Hope For A Catfight

Surely O'Reilly's ego won't stand for this...especially since he feels HE's what made the network and is "The Star". Not long ago someone pointed out there is little camaraderie among those on Faux. You rarely see a "hand-off" between O'Reilly and Hannity like you do with Keith and Rachel...or these goons even acknowledging one another.

Behind the exterior, right wing media is full of prima donnas and big egos. Dreck is the one who is making the most noise and getting the most attention...and that's the real game going on right now. It's a pissing match as to who can outshout, out poutrage and get their name out. There's little honor among those oxygen thieves.

11. People Love a Good Train Wreck

Beck is insane and if you are sane it provides comic relief I can't imagine anyone watching him and not seeing that he is deranged and needs psychiatric help

16. Agreed. I have no doubt that half of wreck's viewers

are there for the entertainment value.

[get the red out]

12. There are only so many viewers to go around

And a certain percentage of their "demographic" could be in hiding in the basement with a year's supply of food at any given time as well. Can't let those "end times" sneak up on you. Or the FEMA Camp recruiters.

13. There's a giant sucking sound going on in freep world! lol. nt

[gatorboy]

14. That someone finally out-crazied Bill isn't the scary part.

It's that eventually, someone will out-crazy Glenn.

[SuperTrouper]

15. That will be Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann

[Javaman]

17. Sorry bill, but glenn is just younger and much more stupid than you. nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

18. 2 shows which are a clear excercise in mental masturbation. nt
