Gee, I am so sorry to hear that.
October 1st, 2006 at 2:30 pmThe October Surprises just keep adding up!
October 1st, 2006 at 2:34 pmratings slump? Deservedly so! Good riddance to this FAUX news rubbish!
October 1st, 2006 at 2:35 pmWhat a celebration….10 years of Republican propaganda being flushed down the toilet. Good riddance.
October 1st, 2006 at 2:36 pmThe Daily Show is also celebrating its 10th anniversary. Maybe Fox will have a segment similar to the TDS’s “10 F@$*%cking Years.”
October 1st, 2006 at 2:41 pmThey better find some sort of diversion soon. October Suprises so far have not help the GOP at all.
October 1st, 2006 at 2:45 pmWell 10 years seems to be about the average span for FOX television dramas.
They should try journalism instead.
Zoo – The Daily Show seems to be enjoying higher ratings these days. :)
October 1st, 2006 at 2:51 pmBenedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush, Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush. In my business, you gotta keep repeating yourself, to overcome the propaganda… Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush, Benedict Arnold. George Bush. Benedict Arnold. George Bush.
October 1st, 2006 at 2:52 pmFOX’s 90210 started to decline around its tenth anniversary as well… About the same for Melrose Place as well.
You can only watch the same cheesy and predicatable characters like Donna Martin or Bill O’Reilly for only so long FOX…
October 1st, 2006 at 2:54 pmDitto to #7…perhaps the Fascist ‘News’ Channel should try news instead of capatulting propaganda for a clearly corrupt and arrogant administration.
October 1st, 2006 at 2:56 pmYou know, there’s a sure-fire ratings booster in the offing: 24/7 coverage of agay sexual predator in the House of Representatives!
October 1st, 2006 at 2:59 pmFOX News is a degenerate mouthpiece funded by the GOP and beholden to the Bush Regime! FOX spews 100% propaganda!

A new low in reality television awaits…
You know the sheeple will love it. Anything that makes them feel less miserable about their own lives is a ratings winner.
October 1st, 2006 at 3:08 pmYES!!!!
October 1st, 2006 at 3:09 pmYet one more good sign that America is waking up!!!
FOX news only has an 11% trust rating.
Expect to see falafel boy sent packing soon. The no-spin zone is all spin. Just look at his latest book it’s not fair nor balanced it’s typical hate-baiting Coulter Republican [plagiarist] crap.
October 1st, 2006 at 3:15 pm“On a typical day this year, Fox’s audience is 845,000 while CNN’s is 466,000.” What a ratings “slump” for Fox News!!!!!! Also, the useful idiot for Al Associated Press alleged (falsely) that Keith Odormann’s “popularity” was “growing”. Hahahahaha. Odormann’s game show is usually in fifth place behind something called Headline News and reruns of some other game show on CNBC.

October 1st, 2006 at 3:15 pm“For 12 straight months, Fox’s prime-time audience has been smaller than the year before. Meanwhile, CNN viewership inched up 5 percent this year through August.”
Could it be Americans are unwilling to watch apparent biased media? What a concept, eh?
October 1st, 2006 at 3:20 pmNice one, Yahoo.
It made stars of Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity and put “fair and balanced” into news history textbooks.
WHO writes these ‘history textbooks’? Must be ancient Reich historians that came to the US by U-Boat.
Before Fox, many in the media scoffed at the notion of a liberal bias and figured only a handful of people really believed that, said Erik Sorenson, former MSNBC president.
I’m so relieved that people have seen the light.

First of all, Tom, it’s Olbermann. O-L-B-E-R-M-A-N-N. Spell it out real carefully and you’ll be halfway through kindergarten.
By the way, Olbermann is a welcome tonic from the pomposity destructive self-importance of the propaganda machine named Fox News, which I’m sure is secretly funded by the Chimperor Boy King God’s administration and his personal bitch Foley.
Read Mr. Olbermann’s book. I have and it features people like you doing some of the most stupid things in the world. Billo has been mentioned in the book more times which makes him the Anti-Christ of journalism. Billo’s new release, is more of the same crap that Felafel Boy talks about, how he hates culture and how the Nazis were more concious than our own American soldiers in WW2. If Billo’s book does well, barely, it’s only because some of us may be prepared for a toilet paper shortage and when that happens, we’ll look at a copy of Billo’s Mein Kampf masterpiece and toliet paper shortage will be no problem.
Face it, Mac. The jig is up. The GOP is in deep shit than ever. And I’m sure you and the heathens of Fox support pedophiles like Foley who rub themselves over a underaged kid. If that’s the case go rent Hard Candy on DVD. I saw it this past weekend and believe me, be very afraid.
And to Fox News, may you celebrate your birthday in hell.
October 1st, 2006 at 4:47 pmOne year too many for FAUX NEWS!
October 1st, 2006 at 4:52 pmSLUMPING couldn’t happen to a more deserving network.
October 1st, 2006 at 7:28 pmOlbermann for president !
October 2nd, 2006 at 3:09 amUntil the 40% approval rating for the jerk in chief and his band of criminals is down to less than 20%, I think it’s a little early to be celibrating the “awakening” of the US populace. Although it does show there may be some hope.
