January 31st, 2008 at 7:16 pmNo one else will have him.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:17 pmwhy the picture?
January 31st, 2008 at 7:21 pmwhy to you hate us, TP?
Turdblossom is just trying to help shore up Faux Gnus lagging ratings.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:23 pmIt won’t help.
How soon before Roger Ailes gets the Minister of Propaganda position at the Whitehouse?
-GSD
January 31st, 2008 at 7:24 pmYes, because otherwise, someone might accuse Fox of being biased. If you asked me for five people i’d want to spend their lives in prison, Karl Rove would be 3 of them.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:24 pmHe’s not “joining” FauxNoose, he’s been there all along. It’s just that he’s stepped out from behind the curtain for a change. I know I’m eagerly looking forward to his insight, especially into the Democratic primaries next week.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:26 pmSo, Turd Blossom finally arrives at the big sh!t pile. Wonder if he brought his math with him.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:26 pmHow soon before Roger Ailes gets the Minister of Propaganda position at the Whitehouse?
-GSD
Uh, psst, he already is the Minister of Propaganda, as well as Demogogary and Political Smears.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:27 pmOMG!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:33 pmJust another reason not to watch the Faux news.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:35 pmFart and Belch…Faux at it’s finest.
Buck Fush
January 31st, 2008 at 7:36 pmMcRove certainly feels right at home with Fox News. Too neocon birds flock like a feather.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:45 pmThat is fantastic!!! More marginalization for Faux News. Their chance at being ever taken seriously is right at zero.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:50 pmSmoke and mirrors…smoke and mirrors. He’s exactly the right inspiration for a country on the skids and in a deep depression. Yes, we will all sit mesmerized while shell game maestro does his thing.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:51 pmSo the biggest propgandist in U.S. history joins Fox “News”. This just solidifies the fact that Fox is blatantly a Repub entertainment station. With very ignorant viewers.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:53 pmThis is why FNC is the most trusted and most watched cable news channel.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:55 pmWho cares?? No one but the 29%er will see or hear him anyway,,,
January 31st, 2008 at 8:01 pmWatch their ratings drop.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:02 pmRove is a good case study of the danger of allowing persons with undiagnosed psychoses in positions of power. Especially if the power they wield is behind the scenes, out of the public eye.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:04 pmThis is why FNC is the most trusted and most watched cable news channel.

Of course. I trust Faux News completely to toe the BushCo line.
With CNN or MSNBC, you never know if you’re going to get an outbreak of decent journalism in between the Chimpy leg-humping. With Faux, there’s never a question of decent journalism breaking out. You can trust that it won’t happen.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:07 pmI’ll be sure to keep my barf bag handy.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:08 pmlol he’ll be there with
THE
math
January 31st, 2008 at 8:08 pmOrange jumpsuits clash too much with the ol’ Red’Whit’n'Blue of the Faux sets….
Cheers,
January 31st, 2008 at 8:10 pmThis is why FNC is the most trusted and most watched cable news channel.

Suuuuure… keep tellin’ yerself that…
January 31st, 2008 at 8:17 pmWith acknowledgment to #1, The pasty, porcine puke: Fat and Unbalanced!
January 31st, 2008 at 8:18 pmFinally cashing in on his treason!
January 31st, 2008 at 8:20 pmMaybe he’ll get comfy and say stuff he shouldn’t have.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:24 pmHe shouldn’t be on TV, he should be in jail for perjury to the American people re: The Iraq War.
Aw hell why am I even trying.
Not only are they not going to jail, these people are going to be rich rich RICH by working hand in hand with their Saudi friends.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:26 pmWhat I want to know is who is still watching Faux News that they would have been able to discover this tidbit if trivia, and W(ho)TF cares?

January’s ratings

January Ratings: FNC’s Six Years on Top
This month marked the sixth consecutive year that FNC led the cable networks in total viewership, in total day and prime time. It also was a milestone month for FNC, which secured 14 out of the top 16 programs in cable news in total viewers and eight of the top 11 programs in the A25-54 demo (live only data).
FNC finished the month in fourth place in prime time among all basic cable channels. CNN finished 20th in prime time (despite the strong ratings from primary and debate coverage) while MSNBC was 28th.
Click here to see the entire Nielsen Cable Ranker for January 2008.
• Also up for FNC: their morning programs, Fox & Friends is up year-to-year in both total viewers and the A25-54 demo. It was the only 7-9amET program in cable news to show demo gains. America’s Newsroom (9-11amET) showed gains of 18% in the demo versus just 2% for CNN Newsroom and 9% for MSNBC Live during the same hours.

Fox News Channel ranked 6th in prime time in 10th in total day (Live only data) for basic cable channels. FNC moved up two spots from 2006 (FNC was 8th in prime in 2006; 10th in total day). CNN ranks 26th in prime, down a spot from 25th last year. In total day CNN ranked 26th for 2006 and again in 2007.

Ah, yes… another troll mistaking entertainment success for journalistic integrity.
Ah well, if it makes them feel better about their party swirling down the toilet drain, then so be it…
January 31st, 2008 at 8:35 pmSay what you want, they slipped…
And Faux’s total audience is small compared to regular network television.
Sh*t, what do I care? I don’t even watch television anymore, cable or network.
You can be as synchophantic as you want, it doesn’t mean a thing.
If Faux is so important, why does 70% of the population despise Brusch so much? After all, Faux does nothing but sing the little monster’s praises endlessly. I mean, if Faux was so influential, you’d think more folks would be toeing the party line, huh?
I’m not even sure why you think this matters, especially to anyone, other than you.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:37 pmmmm on air contributor? – i’m guessing that the contributions that he will make will be smearing hillary at every opportunity and probably throwing in a few cheap shots at bill while he’s at it
January 31st, 2008 at 8:43 pmhas anyone seen a picture of rove’s WIFE?
just curious…
it’s hard to imagine him even being married, to a woman…
but, with all the public affairs he’s attended, i’ve never
January 31st, 2008 at 8:49 pmnoticed a photo of her with him…
38
I saw one and I’m afraid she’s a looker.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:58 pmHe’s been married to his 2nd wife since 1986.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:58 pmCouldn’t happen to a nicer network.
Look for Rove to be anchoring the Fox News nightly reports before election day. They are going to need all the propaganda they can muster.

January 31st, 2008 at 9:07 pmReally? Who woulda thunk it?
January 31st, 2008 at 9:10 pmIf there is a god, then the spy satellite that is heading for an uncontrolled re-entry will crash into the set while the pillsbury doughboy, lerch, from the addams family, loofah boy and halfwit hannity are preening.
January 31st, 2008 at 9:15 pmBut not only is he heavily biased against the dems. But even commenting on the repubs he is seriously biased to certain of their candidates.
January 31st, 2008 at 9:23 pmOh Bert, when you talk meaningless, derogatory twaddle like “loony libs”, yer so cute ‘n cuddly… jes’ like a baby spitting cobra.
January 31st, 2008 at 9:56 pmBut Dr. Matt… it’s a “well-known fact” that the MSM has a “liberal bias”.
Don’t you listen to Rush, or Sean, or Anne, or Michelle, or Hugh, or Billo, or… well, you get the picture, I’m sure.
January 31st, 2008 at 10:01 pmHome at last.
January 31st, 2008 at 10:18 pmDON’T LOOK INTO HIS EYE!!!!!
January 31st, 2008 at 10:19 pmFox News has found the bottom of the barrel, actually the crud that leaks out onto the floor of the warehouse.!
January 31st, 2008 at 10:44 pmNow they just have to get InsHannity, Tr.Anne Coulter, Ben Gleck, O’Biley and Karly onstage at the same time so Satan will materialize in person and take them all away to the anti-rapture…
January 31st, 2008 at 11:13 pmMaybe on FOX Rove can explain to the army of dullards called the GOP “base” how he turned a President with over 80% approval rating to the loser with no hope of finishing his term in the 30%-range. And why he saw fit to discuss the covert status of a CIA agent with members of the press.
January 31st, 2008 at 11:41 pmMurdock, just change fox to HATE NEWS,HATE TV,HATE RADIO.HATE NEWSPAPER and get it over with.
February 1st, 2008 at 12:18 amturd blossom in full bloom again…..stinking up the nation…..again.
February 1st, 2008 at 1:02 am“Fox News political contributor Karl Rove.”
Fox News men’s-room contributor is more apt, given the track record of his political insights.

February 1st, 2008 at 1:53 amIt’s kind of interesting to see that fux news is their first and sometimes only outlet.
So here’s the thing . . . .get rid of fux news . . . battle half won.
Why is this man not indicted yet? Why is FOX now the welfare-station who jumps in to assist all of these losers with gainful employment in their time of disgrace? How soon before Alberto Gonzales gets a talking head job at FOX?
February 1st, 2008 at 6:42 amAnyone else think that this is because GW’s boys can’t seem to get all of these paid speeches they were all so excited about to actually HAPPEN for them? Hey, FOX, nobody wants to hear from these guys!
I thought Faux Snooze cancelled their comedy show.
February 1st, 2008 at 9:06 amHumpty Dumpty is back!
February 1st, 2008 at 10:54 amWill Tony Snow have seniority on Rove at FOX?
You have to admit.
Rove fits into FOX like a Turdblossom brightening up the Bush family toilet bowl.
February 1st, 2008 at 1:33 pmNo surprise here.
February 1st, 2008 at 2:15 pmWow! ANOTHER reason for not watching Faux News!
