^ You're not missing much anyway. Fox should have told you the truth about the elections instead of letting you go out in lala land just knowing Obama was going to lose in a landslide.

Political commentator Sean Hannity was one of the big losers in the 2012 election

The right-wing Fox News host lost half his audience in the weeks after Obama's win

Rachel Maddow didn't lose many followers after the elections. Anderson Cooper lost none of his audience.

Interesting that before the elections Fox News ratings soared and was the leading news channel in 2012.

so what, liberals having fun for NYE, what's wrong with that ?

still better than the Faux news conservative hosts engaging in underage gay sex behind closed doors and then going to Church the next morning with a grin on their face

Fox News, enjoyable, funny, amazing,orrsume,oh my god, beats BBC. Why,it is insane. I cannot believe what I am seeing. I miss "Mad" magazine from the good old U.S.A . Fox has replaced it.

Hannity's Ratings Nosedive! Can Bullshit Mountain Survive?

Sean Hannity’s ratings have plummeted, as we pointed out earlier, nosediving after the election as viewers tuned out of Fox News en masse — but the news is even worse for the conservative news network than initially reported.

In our earlier post, we referenced a report in the New York Daily News indicating that one prevailing theory suggests that Hannity’s complete failure to consider an Obama win caused the pundit to permanently lose credibility in the eyes of viewers:

“The going wisdom is that viewers who basked in his preelection anti-Obama rhetoric tuned him out when they were stunned to wake up on Nov. 7 and discover that the President had won a second term — a scenario that Hannity had all but promised could never happen.”

In that respect, news of Sean Hannity’s ratings plummet is nearly heartening — perhaps a sign that news viewers do indeed want an accurate picture and not partisan stroking, which became an issue for Fox after Mitt Romney’s stunning loss in November.

But where Hannity’s ratings plummeted, another media personality saw a boost in viewers post-election — MSNBC’s nega-Hannity, Rachel Maddow.

Where Hannity is divisive and black and white, Maddow is reasoned and respectful. Maddow tends to advocate open discussion, whereas Hannity preaches “with us or against us.” And whatever Rachel is doing seems to work — as the liberal anchor is making gains where her dated foil is bleeding viewership

BTW Booners, I didn't no you were such a prissy old auntie. All upset over Kathy Griffin's potty mouthed antics.

Forget some focus-distracting video boys and concentrate on just how Hillery got that concussion. Think my post earlier might have been scrubbed but there's evidence - links were provided btw - that she was on some 'secret' mission in I-Ran where her plane had an accident.

Not to worry we're treading into HM territory here but when was the last time 'the folks' were told even 1/2 the story, huh?

...media matters indeed.

It wasn't deleted but in another thread addressing the secretary of state specifically. For those interested, we can see it here too:

Everything is not as it seems or what?

Cleric may have booked pre-9/11 flightsfor hijackers, FBI documents show.

The FBI suspected within days of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that the American Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki may have purchased tickets for some of the hijackers for air travel in advance of the attacks, according to newly released documents reviewed exclusively by Fox News. The purpose of these flights remains unclear, but the 9/11 Commission report later noted that the hijackers had used flights in the lead-up to the attacks to test security and surveillance. The heavily redacted records – obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of information Act request – suggest the FBI held evidence.

Without Judicial Watch, Fox News and Catherine Herridge,
this information would just be gathering dust.

Wonder how this new information fits into HM's grand scheme(s)?

Hansuman who posts mainly in the Dog House as his conspiracy theories are way over the top!

Since Richard Nixon's name is synonymous with the words "crook" and "cover-up", Fox News does the only reasonable thing to celebrate his birthday: redefine him as "liberal"

As we celebrate Richard Nixon’s 100th birthday, there is so much more to reflect on than the Watergate scandal. Nixon is many things to many people, but 40 years after his crushing 1972 reelection victory, it becomes clearer that he is also something few would have imagined: America’s last liberal.

That may sound like more than a bit of a stretch, a misunderstanding of Nixon’s presidency and his policies. But I would counter that if we look back over the last 45 some-odd years in American history, we have ample evidence that Nixon’s credentials would put him starkly at odds with today’s Republican Party.


Richard Nixon -- the last great liberal | Fox News


But just a hint of schizophrenia over there at the moment:

At the center of American politics for almost fifty years, Nixon commanded a significance that went beyond political influence. It was cultural. It was definitive. Whether championing anti-communism or the need to help a post-cold war Russia, civil rights or ending the draft, a “peace with honor” in Vietnam or rapprochement with China, responsible arms control, environmental protection, or educational opportunity, Nixon was there, leading.


And whether making the decisions in office himself or whispering advice to his successors, Nixon was there. More than any other single figure, Nixon shaped the second half of the American century.

Breaking News: A first for Fox News. Reports an indisputable fact.

Fox News ratings will soon be going up further as it appears that loathsome Piers Morgan will soon go the way of that other race-baiter Soledad O'Brian:

The February 28th episode of Piers Morgan Tonight, which featured an exclusive interview with Gus Searcy, the mentor of Jodi Arias suffered a yearly low in the key 25-54 demographic with only 87,000 viewers.
The show is down 27% in total viewers and 38% in the demo from its debut in Jan. 17th, 2011.
Piers Morgan Tonight also had the lowest demo in its time slot and was even beat by HLN’s Dr. Drew (with 208,000)

^ Piers Morgans viewers will switch over to fox when hell freezes over. BTW only old geezers watch cable news.

Piers Morgan is a mole on a mission for Fox to destroy CNN from the inside.

Soledad OBrian was doing a pretty good job of that herself...

I liked her as a news presenter. Not interested at all on her boring reports on race. CNN wants better ratings to she fell victim to political correctness.

I notice this also.

The cable news (TV) is for the older generation.

Younger gen gets info online from online newspapers, vids, documentaries, and "news" and such.

TV ownership is down.

Comparing online to TV has made me realize how bad TV is for info.

Yes this is very true. The most gullible weak minds get molded via cable news. Thats a big reason why fox is the most watched cable news channel. Those viewers are the soft brained sheeple of the US.

Heh...this one filed under stories that make Libs insane:

HuffPo finds Fox News "Most Believable" news channel:

"It used to be that whenever an important news story broke, cable television viewers would quickly turn to CNN for must-see coverage of what was happening. However, according to a poll conducted regarding the five-day coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing, that is definitely no longer the case.

The survey, which was conducted by the liberal Huffington Post website and the international marketing agency YouGov, determined that former titan CNN came in as far less trustworthy than Fox News over which was the most believable cable news channel. [...]

Of course, all cable news outlets saw their viewership rise sharply because of their coverage of the bombing and subsequent search for the terrorists behind it.

As a result, 38 percent of the respondents said the channel was “very” or “somewhat” believable, and 21 percent said it was “not very” or “not at all believable.”

Also, MSNBC had no reason to smile since the poll indicated that 42 percent of the people polled “don’t watch” the channel. In addition, the liberal channel fared poorly in the “very” or “somewhat” believable category with 35 percent.

However, the survey brought good news for the Fox News Channel, which had a 50 percent rating in the categories of “very” and “somewhat” believable even though 28 percent of those polled said they don’t watch the cable news outlet, which is far less than its competitors."


Snigger

The most believable news channel had a bad 2012-


Obamacare will be overturned by Supreme Court - Foxies seemed so certain

Arizona's immigration law. Fox News campaigned on behalf of this law - which was mostly overturned by the Supreme Court.

Karl Rove interrupting and denouncing Fox's calling the election for Obama

Polls showing Obama winning were not trustworthy.

Benghazi is as bad as or worse than Watergate. A CNN poll shows the public doesn't see it that way.

Hurricane Sandy was Obama's Katrina. Unfortunately, Chris Christie blew that one for them.

The "war on women" will backfire on Democrats. In fact, the gender gap helped Obama win re-election.
