Right-wing TV hosts gain viewers since Obama victory.
“Conservative talk hosts, or at least those who anchor Fox News Channel’s lineup, are enjoying a solid post-election bump,” Variety reports. Fox News saw its daily viewership increase by 24% last month, compared to Feb. 2008. Bill O’Reilly was up 33% (3.6 million viewers) in February compared to the previous year. Sean Hannity rose 38% (to nearly 2.8 million). And newly-minted right-wing talker Glenn Beck “has doubled his timeslot.” Liberal hosts Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow posted gains of 32% and 134%, respectively, in total viewers since one year ago. “But both programs experienced ratings erosion versus last month.” Olbermann was down 4% and Maddow was down 8%.

Uh-oh. How are the trolls gonna spin this one?
February 25th, 2009 at 5:12 pmLet’s not get complacent, people.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:12 pmPretty funny! Too bad for them they couldn’t get a ratings increase during campaign season and deliver a victory for their party, eh?
LMFAO
February 25th, 2009 at 5:13 pmI was pretty certain the RUC-ReichWingWhine-O-Meter was spinning faster than usual the last month or so.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:15 pmTom Delay was just on Hardball. What a lying sack of crap dirtbag.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:18 pmThis makes sense, progressives may be complacent due to the complete victory in the last election. Conservatives are probably more fired up, due to rescent, rapid changes that they probably aren’t happy about.
Olbermann and Maddow got a lot of ratings from Bush bashing. It’s just mostly played out because Bush is gone. Olbermann and Maddow will have to make some significant changes, if they want to keep the viewers. Unless there is a substantive Bush investigation. That would keep them in ratings for the duration.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:18 pmSomebody I know has been saying the fooking obvious for the last several months:
The Obama Administration is going to be a BONANZA for the Right.
Nothing Pres.O. can do about it.
There’s just gonna be a LOT of money to be made feeding the fears of the freaks inf the future.
Like “plastics” in “The Graduate.”
February 25th, 2009 at 5:19 pmcute picture of the Emperor and Anakin.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:20 pmIf my own experience is repeated in others, it is because WE WON and feel less intense need to find others who shared our concerns about the direction this country was taking. Now, we feel more confident and relaxed, able to turn to other activities.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:21 pmMayhaps the RNC is spending the money they used to give the trolls to bribe the nursing home day room attendants.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:21 pmIt’s good to hear Republicans have finally torn themselves away from their books.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:26 pmObama may have gotten blasted for the comment but I think he was pretty close with the God and Gun clutching. The Republicans have been propagandizing about the gubmint trying to take over, the Socialists, the Commies…run and hide America.
These are the people who have been told, contrary to evidence in their lives, that gubmint and libruls are out to steal their lives. With a little luck the stimulus will start to take hold and some of them will find out the truth. If we, as a society, can’t take care of our own so everyone can find their piece of the dream, we ain’t gonna make.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:30 pmShayne…….
February 25th, 2009 at 5:31 pmI know, I was wondering when DeLay was going to rear his ugly little head. It was only a matter of time before they decided to trot him out before the cameras. I’m sure we’ll see more of him. He’s ratings gold for the cameras and the right. It really is a shame isn’t it? He hearts W., Who knew? No one should become complacent because Obama is our President. The Republicans are going to get really really nasty

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Nothing to spin. Beck is a complete moron and a trashtalking piece of garbage. That the rightwing wants to watch him speaks to thier idiocy.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:35 pmI also think that in times of anxiety- with unemployment, the obscurity of blame for the financial crisis, and the very real recession- all of this contributes people flocking to the right-wing for solace and righteous anger. Conservative have always exploited the fear (and anger) of a population that can’t understand why things are so bad.
when it’s spelled out to you in basic terms- “governement! immigration! beauracracy!”- instead of the very complex web of issues everyone really really needs to be paying attention to, voila, the Republican party to give it to you ‘plain and simple,’ playing up cultural biases as needed here, using organized religion as needed over there…
and given a corporate-controlled media, a narrative already stacked against the rational…
February 25th, 2009 at 5:35 pmIn addition to backup’s remarks on Olbermann and Maddow, I wish they and others would reduce the amount of pontificating, and when pontificating, to label it as “Commentary” as many broadcasters used to do. There’s enough wrong today, due to 8 years of Cheneydom and 12 years of Rethuglicanism, to keep Olbermann and Maddow busy calling Obama and the DINO’s on their short sidedness regarding the last Regimes crimes and keeping the heat on. It’s not only reporting the news, it’s what and how you report. For something completely different, tune in BBC World News, or if you can Democracy Now for how the news can be done.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:37 pmPeople hiding in bunkers for hysterical reasons tend to watch more TV generally.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:37 pmAverage American Patriot Says:
Liberals want information not propaganda. There are PLENTY of venues for unbiased info. Fox is THE destination for the rightwing kool-aid and you are welcome to it. The Networks still DWARF Fox in the ratings.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:37 pmNo comment on the article – just a request. Please stop putting Cheney on the front page – he’s just too ugly and hard to look at and same goes for Bush – any Bush!
February 25th, 2009 at 5:38 pmThis ones simple. With their world view crashing around them. With reality seeping in from every quarter. The far right of the republican party are flocking to the one place where their (erroneous) world view is validated. Where else but FOX?
February 25th, 2009 at 5:39 pmPeople often turn to fantasy during hard times.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:40 pmPeople are always obsessed with the underdogs. Sensationalism has more to do with these ratings than ideology.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:41 pmamen, Rich H. The Republicans have always capitalized on crisis and the baser fears that come up. This just proves that.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:41 pmSeems how most of America has rejected these ReichWingers that watch this kind of propaganda, they are flocking to their only “Safe Place”….
….by themselves, with a beer, and a gun, crying in front of the TV.
BooHoo….so sad.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:43 pmAverage American, are you saying your as smart as the average american?
February 25th, 2009 at 5:44 pmNo surprise. Clinton-bashing made Fox “News” in the first place. It was the first time the opposition party had its own network. Having Obama follow a disastrous Republican administration can only drive the wingnuts deeper into the echo chamber. No matter how many right wing shills NPR, CNN and the networks wheel out you just can’t find an entire network devoted to blaming FDR for the Great Depression and Bill Clinton for Chimpy’s economy anywhere else.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:45 pmI’ve turned off the news since the election. I’m not interested in hearing all the hand wringing from the pundits.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:45 pmRich H Says:

There you go. Wingnuts have been able to delude themselves that they were in ascendancy as long as Bush/Cheney was running things. Now that most of the country has abandoned them, they’ve got to have their brows stroked and fannies patted by the media wingnuts.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:47 pmI just sent an email to Chris Matthews advising him his show was worse than FAUX as long as he invites criminals like Tom DeLay to critiicize the President, yelling over Harld Ford and lying his ass off. He is right in there with these sleazy bastards that I have never watched and never will. After reading the lies the trolls post after watching these thugs, I wouldn’t be able to stomach the hate and bigotry.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:48 pmWhat would you expect; almost half of the voters did not vote for Obama and truthfully Obama’s policies seem to be sending us down the road to serfdom.
Thanks for the great picture of Vice President Cheney and Mr. Hannity.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:50 pmall this really burns you guys up, doesn’t it?
average.
and deuce.
too bad you have to feel that way.
maybe you should start a movement to reform the Republican Party, and stand a chance of participating in the solutions.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:53 pmhey Deuce Coupe,
what did you think about Bush’s ‘policies’ of throwing taxpayer money to Iraq? What about all those missing billions, hmm?
Serfdom began sometime ago. I guess you didn’t get the memo, but this stimulus goes to programs for U.S. citizens, not to contracted corrupt private corporations.
if you like Hannity so much, you can go here:
http://web1.hannity.com/hannidate/
although I don’t think you can get in touch with him there.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:53 pmNo little deuce coupe, it’s called misery loves company.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:54 pmLet me guess, these numbers provided by a Faux Nous poll??

If you can look at current conditions of the market, unemployment, housing, and banking and honestly make a stupid comment like this…you are hopelessly delusional or a complete moron. Get your head out so the sun can shine on it.
He is not the VP and the other is not a Mr…he is a community college dropout.
Deuce Coupe Says:
MAN you are VASTLY ignorant and astonishingly stupid. You just spew out the stupidest nonsense imaginable as IF it had some connection to reality. You are just lucky ignorance isnt physically painful or you would be on a morphine drip.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:56 pmBill ORally called Glans Beck crazy.
Then, Glans Beck told Bill ORally to stay away from his bunker or he’d kill him.
And that is what was on Fox the other day.
Neither of them said what a better idea might be.
And neither did Mssrs. Deuce nor Average.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:57 pmAverage American Patriot Says:
Must be why more people watched “the biggest loser” than Obama last night.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You do know you are a moron right?
February 25th, 2009 at 6:01 pmThese polls don’t surprise me at all. It’s the circling the wagon effect.
Obama’s victory and the ascendancy of a progressive movement, combined with the woefully miserable and disastrous results of total republican control of government for 6 solid years, has rendered the republican party’s base to something akin to the militia types of the 90’s. Most moderates have left the republican party so all they have left is the Tim McVey types, and Rush Limpball’s assolytes.
Naturally these types would rather enclose themselves in a bubble and shun reality rather than face the cold hard fact of the 21st century.
hence Glenn beck, Hannity, et all.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:02 pmHannity was on at the same time as Obama?
February 25th, 2009 at 6:04 pmDeuce Coupe Says:
What would you expect; almost half of the voters did not vote for Obama and truthfully Obama’s policies seem to be sending us down the road to serfdom.
There’s that tiny deuce coupe again.
In 2004, GWB won 4,000,000 more votes than John Kerry. In 2008, Barack Obama won 8,000,000 more votes than McCain. Yet Bush maintained he had a “mandate”.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:04 pmThat just goes to prove that the right wing Rethug cool-aid drinkers all share the same brain.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:04 pmDid you get it all sticky yet?
February 25th, 2009 at 6:08 pmHi gummitch,
I don’t think Bush won – ever. Think of the voting machines that switched votes and those who were disenfranchised. Is it possible 4 million people got screwed out of/in their voting?
February 25th, 2009 at 6:11 pmPossibly. I think the averag american may not be too bright, but I can’t believe they’d all be that stupid to vote for someone so, what’s the right word, who’s such a dullard.
Does Bernie Madoff’s accounting firm do the ratings?

Just using “official” numbers. No implication that the results were legitimate is intended.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:14 pmI’m writing my congresspeoples again! Don’t watch television, anyway.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:16 pmLiberals don’t drool at the mouth of talking head talking points.
We were tuned into media leading up to November.
There’s no need to go there now, is there?
Back to the blogs…

Cheney’s got his thumb up his girlfriend’s keister again, you can tell by the looks on their faces, it’s love.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:21 pmFox and Limbaugh really came into their own when they had Clinton to kick around. I wonder why the opposite isn’t true? AAR(bankrupt), NOVA-M(bankrupt), MSNBC(might as well be) with the likes of Rhodes, Miller, Maddow and Olbermann had 8 years of bush to establish some kind of base but it never really happened.
Maybe it gives lie to the influence of the media, or maybe the so called “progressive media” needs government intervention to succeed, like the fairness doctrine.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:24 pmyour bitter is showing, barbera.
most unseemly.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:29 pmYes, well, sadly; your average American is a weak patriot these days.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:38 pmTV keeps trying to to frame the Republican party into the picture. What is wrong with this picture? Is this still the right picture, after having witnessed the last eight years? Are we all the same TV audience we were eight years ago, because that is what TV is selling!
February 25th, 2009 at 6:41 pmkisses – have a WONDERFUL evening.
don’t let the cheese run out before the wine.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:43 pmAnd this is all according to radical right-wing pundits. So it must be true?

Stupid as usual AAP
February 25th, 2009 at 7:08 pmRush,Hannity,Beck… as compared to Father Coughlin in the 30’s,couldn’t wash his jock straps!
February 25th, 2009 at 7:16 pmFather Coughlin averaged between 30 to 45,000,000 of a huge highly responsive audience a week! He whined just like the aforementioned! 50,000 letters a week poured into his Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan.
Coughlin’s ramblings or rantings are on par with the Regressive Republican Right Wing of Mush, Slanthead and Butt-head!
I question statistics! You can get the numbers to say anything you like and the rightwing owners of MSM usually do. We should all know the RepubliCons never put out an honest number. The federal government’s numbers were all perverted by the Criminal Bush. Lies, damn lies, and statistics. Why is this any different?
February 25th, 2009 at 7:24 pmI’m trying to figure out if any of this is connected…Obama wins the election, conservatives flock to home base at FakeNews, and the company that makes Depends is seeing record revenues…

Who won the last two general elections? Who controls the congress and the White House? I rest my case. You morons can worship your drop out heroes all day long but we are in power and you are a loser.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:47 pmHey, why wouldn’t Fox get a bump in the ratings? That network is good for more laughs than Comedy Central. Watching the Mad Irishman and Handjobitty puff up and turn purple is hilarious. The network would probably win an Emmy if one or the other of them stroked out on the air.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:52 pmMaybe that’s because most people of average intelligence or above would have realized that without being told.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:55 pmMy don’t Hannity and Cheney look real comfy with each other. See, this is what ticks me off – Olbermann and Maddow get criticized for having more Democrats/Liberals on their shows. They get criticized for being biased towards the leftwing ideology, etc. BUT it’s OK for Hannity and the rest of FUXKED News to slob on the conservative knobs of the likes of Cheney, Rove, Palin and the rest of the repugnican dorks! I mean, look at Hannity he looks as if he just creamed his pants or something! Jeez!
February 25th, 2009 at 8:17 pmIt completely based on entrainment value. If you’ve had a bad day, tune in one of these clowns…It will either push you over the edge and you’ll start throwing things OR a good laugh always helps…they’re all comedy – all the time..
February 25th, 2009 at 8:18 pmThe explanation for the growth of right wing entertainment news media really has a very simple explanation. It’s the easiest way for lazy-minded people to get their information about the world they live in. People who participate in this message board, who are fully AWARE of what is going on in the world, function in a print-based, literate world. They can cope with complexity and have the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth.
The people who spend hours each day listening to Rush and Sean and Laura Ingraham, then go home and watch Sean, and Glenn, and Bill O’Reilly, and all the other idiot talking points readers on television exist in a non-reality-based belief system. These people are dependent on skillfully manipulated images for information, and have severed themselves from the literate, print-based culture. They cannot differentiate between lies and truth. They are informed by simplistic, childish narratives and clichés. They are thrown into confusion by ambiguity, nuance and self-reflection.
This divide has split the country into two radically distinct, unbridgeable and antagonistic entities. The people who know what’s going on because they went out looking for the truth, and the people who sit passively and let the talking points readers drive it into them with endless, coordinated repetiton.
You would think that now that the grown-ups have the majority, and we have a President who is intelligent, articulate, and thoughtful, the Glenn Becks and Sean Hannities would lose their audiences, perhaps slowly, but surely. This is not good news.
February 25th, 2009 at 8:30 pmWho doesn’t love watching a train wreck?
February 25th, 2009 at 8:54 pmTroll JK — I had no idea you were such a fan of Keith Olbermann.
How else would you know that “each show is the same as the previous one – the same old Bush bashing (PS George Bush is no longer in office!); Rush bashing; Sean bashing; Sarah bashing; Billo bashing; Beck bashing; etc etc.” if you weren’t a regular watcher? You wouldn’t make such an expansive judgment based only on your prejudices, would you?
Olbermann apparently has a healthy audience of wingnuts. r. Philby was just regaling us last night with his extensive knowledge of all things Olbermann.
February 25th, 2009 at 9:04 pmquantity doesn’t equate to quality
February 25th, 2009 at 9:28 pmOf course, Mr. Philby got several things wrong about Olbermann… actually, almost every claim he made turned out to be demonstrably false.
So i can only conclude that Troll JK is a bigger Olbermann fan than Mr. Pee.
February 25th, 2009 at 9:39 pmCould be because people who like talk radio have no alternatives and love yelling at their radios. Where can I buy a station or 50?
February 25th, 2009 at 9:43 pmNo, AAP, I’m suggesting that most readers with a reasonable amount of media savvy will realize that, since Rachel Maddow’s show has only been on air since mid-September last, the ratings growth is calculated on time-slot performance. it’s a fairly standard way to measure the performance of various shows.
Call it dishonest if you like, but it doesn’t really distort the statistical analysis. Her show is more unabashedly liberal than the show that previously ran in that time slot, so one could reasonably conclude that, if anything, her take on politics helped the performance of the show, and this, after all, was the point TP was making.
February 25th, 2009 at 9:45 pmI am going to be honest. I can’t get enough of hearing the right wingers whine and moan. I listen to them daily and bask in their misery. All these guys have been acting like someone put a handful of sand in their vaginas, it’s great. And I know I am not the only progressive that is watching these guys. I love seeing their fans squirm on these boards as well.
February 25th, 2009 at 9:47 pmhowever, if it will make you happy, AARP, yes, TP should have made clear that they were measuring Rachel’s ratings growth against the year-ago performance of the show that ran in the same time slot.
That would have been more proper.
February 25th, 2009 at 9:47 pmA handful of sand. Ouch. I too take enjoyment in watching rightwing TV and listening to them on radio. Last night I was reading RedState’s live feed during the President’s speech and the froth was pouring off the screen. It was comical how quickly they turned on Fox when they saw Jindal’s speech for what it was.
February 25th, 2009 at 9:55 pmIf viewers were voters
February 25th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Getplaning, that was an excellent breakdown of the subject. Well done!
February 25th, 2009 at 10:20 pmWell of course. Liberal radio/tv went way up after the 2004 election. When one side gets scared, it looks for comfort with those that agree with them. Pretty standard stuff.
February 25th, 2009 at 10:21 pmLOL!
February 25th, 2009 at 10:58 pmWhat would you like, Parrot?
February 25th, 2009 at 11:18 pmlet’s see… he claimed that Olbermann never criticizes Democrats.
Links were produced to demonstrate otherwise.
He claimed that Olbermann never interviews Republicans.
A link was produced that listed Olbermanns guests. Just in the As and Bs I counted seven prominent Republicans, just among the names that I recognized.
Then he amended this claim to state that Olbermann only interviews Republicans who want to bash Bush. I asked if John Ashcroft went on the show to bash Bush, if Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) went on to bash Bush.
In fact, almost none of the claims of fact he made were backed up with any link, quote or video.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:37 pmY’know, for an “echo chamber” this place sure has a lot of dissenting voices.
Few of them make any sense, it’s true, but still… one would think an “echo chamber” would need to be more tightly sealed than this in order to be effective.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:39 pmWhy does anyone have to explain to Philby, what Philby said?
Talk about your echo chambers…

Please don’t dominate the rap Jack
if you got nothing new to say
If you please don’t back up the track
This train got to run today
Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Heard some say better run away
Others say you better stand still
Now I don’t know but I been told
it’s hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I heard it said
it’s just as hard with the weight of lead
Who can deny? Who can deny?
it’s not just a change in style
One step done and another begun
in I wonder how many miles?
Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Things went down we don’t understand
but I think in time we will
Now I don’t know but I been told
in the heat of the sun a man died of cold
Do we keep on coming or stand and wait
with the sun so dark and the hour so late?
You can’t overlook the lack Jack
of any other highway to ride
It’s got no signs or dividing lines
and very few rules to guide
Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
I saw things getting out of hand
I guess they always will
I don’t know but I been told
if the horse don’t pull you got to carry the load
I don’t know whose back’s that strong
Maybe find out before too long
One way or another
One way or another
