Fox News Ratings: O'Reilly, Hannity See Huge Drop-Off In February Demo Numbers

Huff post is as much of a joke to the right as fox is to the left. If not worse.
And even with huge drops in ratings they still blow away most liberal news media stations ratings. It's amazing people like Matthews, Maddow, and Piers are still on the air.

this is just a lie.
hannity and oreilly have lost a huge number of their viewers in the demographics that advertisors actually covet. matthews and maddow have gained in those demographics. that is a fact.
couldn't be that people are waking up to the fact that fox news out and out lied to their faces about romney's chances for victory, could it?
dick morris guaranteed a win. rove agreed with him. and what happened? dick morris got fired and rove was put on hiatus for a bit.
ratings do not equal truth, but you would never know that based on the debating points on this website from my friends on the right. those points are spoonfed to them by fox news.

C'mon Gimmie. I'm not arguing that Fox is all good. But study after study has shown that fox is more centered and allows more opinions from opposition than the crazies at msnbc. You got to be in complete denial to not see that. MSNBC is almost completely opinionated reporting for their liberal agenda. Fox is about 50/50 when it comes to opinionated reporting and factual reporting. CNN was actually found to to do the least amount of opinionated reporting out of all 3.

Well this is fun. I wonder what sources are providing "study after study". And while you want to argue the validity to the "news" being reported on Fox, the whole country is being warped with its gov't controlled propaganda machine called the mainstream media. It's only very obvious that Fox is just that more warped and biased than the rest, but the brainwashed will maintain that they're getting factual info. Keep arguing....

I'll roll with that. At least you're honest enough to call out both. I think for the most part, no matter what someone watches they take it all with a grain of salt. But then you come on post like this one and everyone wants to judge one while ignoring the other. They might give a slight critical judgement to the other to make themselves sound more credible but we know whats really going on. To bash fox but yet defend race baitin matthews is hilarious.
Yup, and keep listening to your race baitin god hatin liberal media fucktards. Good luck with that :roll:
I don't listen to any mainstream American news, but OK!
Well if you don't watch anything, then who are you to say fox is MORE warped and biased then the rest? Somebody is telling you that and obviously you're not watching and judging for yourself.

Seriously though, you are defending Fox while attacking MSNBC. Which makes zero sense at all, unless you agree with what you're watching and have a bias towards believing what Fox is reporting.

Any objective person can compare Fox with the rest of the mainstream media and see a giant difference in its slant. Not saying that one is better than the other, but the lies? Yeah, Fox is better at making up reports. And I've seen enough to know. (which doesn't have to be much at all).
Any objective person? Can compare? How can you be objective or compare if you don't watch anything. You obviously take other peoples opinions and make them your own with out judging for yourself. Don't want to be offensive, but you're just another liberal sheep being herded by your masses and then you jump in on sites like this and claim to know who's more honest then the other just because of what your side tells you.
I watch fox, msnbc, cnn and i read IJ review, huff, media matters, and the blaze. Well balanced dose of crap and then take what I can out of all of them.

Conservatives believe Fox News is fair and balanced and Liberals think MSNBC is fair and balanced. Nothing can change their view, that is what they believe.
Watching either one of those channels you will not get the 100% truth or a fair shot at truth.
In my life I have watched both channels (but primarily I read off their websites). When they talk about similar news stories, I take the two different point of views, weigh info, but I never come to a complete conclusion. From weighing both info you can get a better understanding of what may actually be going on.
For me, its important to understand where both sides are coming from. I personally believe conservative and liberal views together made/make America and Americans great.

Actually, if you watched international news, you'd learn more about this country than you do living within it, because all we hear is what the gov't and partisan politics wants you to hear. Everything is controlled, and real journalism went the wayside with Walter Kronkite and Dan Rather, who's spoken out against what news broadcasting has turned into. All journalists' hands are tied, they are told what to report.
ETA: That said, you're right, the 2 parties working together is what is supposed to make America great. But that was when they actually compromised and worked together toward a common mission in making the country great. Now all they consistantly do, is injure the country over and over again, making no improvements for the people nor the gov't itself.

But you're getting credible, unbiased, objective NEWS from that link, aren't you?
I know where the blaze comes from. And yet again, you are so quick to judge without ever watching or reading anything from it. Your opinion is simply something you have heard from someone else. Pathetic really. But with that said, I should point out that I don't take everything from the blaze as true. I'm sure that is how it will be taken. And just for the record, I listen to Becks radio show alot. Many times have heard him criticise the right as well as the left. But you wouldn't know that because your liberal masses tell you other-wise.

People on both sides criticize their own parties, philosophies all the time, but it is usually because they believe their side is not "doing what they should be doing," which is the problem with picking sides and the problem with politics. If one person, let's say a Liberal Democrat, shows he/she also has strong conservative views, then his/her side will criticize them. Same goes for the other side as well.
I am not saying Glenn Beck did that, but the above scenario is usually what happens.

That's true. I agree. But also, hearing Beck blame something on Bush isn't all that unrealistic. I hear it quite often on his program. When is the last time we heard msnbc or the huff say something was Obamas fault. I try to stay open-minded, but I can't help but see the left as the more biased party.

You must be speaking of Al Jazeera. That international news station that just bought Al Gores news station after Al Gore turned down Glenn Becks offer because he wanted to sell it to somebody with more common progressive views that he can relate with. That station?
That's true. I agree. But also, hearing Beck blame something on Bush isn't all that unrealistic. I hear it quite often on his program.

You made some bold claims here:
1. "I try to stay open-minded," to me, sound like you are implying people on the left is not open minded. (however, I could be wrong and I apologize in advance.)
2. The left is more biased
Truth is, both parties are very biased. Considering you do not know everyone, you cannot jump to such a bold claim.
The real way to view the world, to me, is to understand, appreciate, and accept that there is no one correct side. To say one side is better or worse than the other is not doing America any justice. Both liberal and conservative views have shaped and hurt America. To clarify, when I say appreciate I do not mean you should never bash any political philosophy or party, but I mean to appreciate that indeed both sides have done and can do good for America in use with one another. Which is why to totally criticize and downplay the other is halting American progress and it further displays the continued ignorance of American politics today.

I know where the blaze comes from. And yet again, you are so quick to judge without ever watching or reading anything from it. Your opinion is simply something you have heard from someone else. Pathetic really. But with that said, I should point out that I don't take everything from the blaze as true. I'm sure that is how it will be taken. And just for the record, I listen to Becks radio show alot. Many times have heard him criticise the right as well as the left. But you wouldn't know that because your liberal masses tell you other-wise.
People on both sides criticize their own parties, philosophies all the time, but it is usually because they believe their side is not "doing what they should be doing," which is the problem with picking sides and the problem with politics. If one person, let's say a Liberal Democrat, shows he/she also has strong conservative views, then his/her side will criticize them. Same goes for the other side as well.
I am not saying Glenn Beck did that, but the above scenario is usually what happens.

You must be speaking of Al Jazeera. That international news station that just bought Al Gores news station after Al Gore turned down Glenn Becks offer because he wanted to sell it to somebody with more common progressive views that he can relate with. That station?
You made some bold claims here:
1. "I try to stay open-minded," to me, sound like you are implying people on the left is not open minded. (however, I could be wrong and I apologize in advance.)
2. The left is more biased
Truth is, both parties are very biased. Considering you do not know everyone, you cannot jump to such a bold claim.
The real way to view the world, to me, is to understand, appreciate, and accept that there is no one correct side. To say one side is better or worse than the other is not doing America any justice. Both liberal and conservative views have shaped and hurt America. To clarify, when I say appreciate I do not mean you should never bash any political philosophy or party, but I mean to appreciate that indeed both sides have done and can do good for America in use with one another. Which is why to totally criticize and downplay the other is halting American progress and it further displays the continued ignorance of American politics today.

When I say left is more biased i'm talking more or less about the media. Not the general public. Should have made that clear I guess.
Understandable.
But my points still stand, regardless. lol.
Have a nice day. Time for me to get off of here for a while.
