Fox News is racking up the highest ratings in its 13-year history.

The overall ratings at Rupert Murdoch’s network have shot up a remarkable 33% among Total Viewers and up 44% in the Adults 25-54 demographic in the last year. In primetime (Monday-Friday) the network’s dominance is even more shocking. It’s up 35% in Total Viewers and up 54% in younger viewers.

MSNBC and CNN have all but ceded primetime to Fox News, which racks up more total viewers and more younger viewers than the two runner up cable news networks combined.

You probably won’t find the following list taped on the refrigerator in the employee lounge at either MSNBC or CNN. It shows that Fox News has all ten of the most watched programs on cable news:

Time Program Total Viewers
8pm O’Reilly Factor 3,188,000

9pm Hannity 2,341,000
5pm Glen Beck 2,053,000
10pm On the Record 1,950,000
6pm Special Report 1,889,000
7pm Fox Report 1,757,000
11pm O’Reilly Factor 1,579,000
9am America’s Newsroom 1,399,000
4pm Your World 1,389,000
3pm Studio B 1,169,000



MSNBC and CNN to both hitched their wagon to Obama’s horse. The horse has gone lame.

Nevada’s evil Republican Secretary of State files criminal complaints against ACORN.

Ross Miller, Nevada’s evil Republican Secretary of State, has filed 39 criminal complaints against ACORN. What’s that? He’s a Democrat? Well, that’s pretty damn inconvenient.

In Clark County alone, ACORN registered 91,000 people but 50% of them couldn’t be verified. The typical percentage of unverifiable voter registrations is just 2%.

Miller appeared on Glenn Beck’s show and said, “We’re just trying to send a strong message that we won’t tolerate these kinds of fraudulent practices in the future.”

“When we executed the raid on the ACORN headquarters here in Las Vegas we came across thousands of pages of documents, emails,” Miller continued. “Within those documents we found their company policy directive that outlined for their employees the fact that they were required to meet certain quotas and that these employees were expected to turn in 20 registration forms per day. Otherwise they’d be terminated.”

“We think that the case is very strong,” Miller added. “It’s a very thorough investigation that we’ve had almost a year now in place showing that they were compensating their individual canvassers based on the total number of people registered which is a felony in this state. We’ve filed 39 counts. I think they’re going to have a difficult case to make to the twelve jurors who will ultimately hear this.”

There’s an old saying that a man should be judged by the company he keeps. Our President keeps the company of ACORN.

‘Nuff said.

Fraud! Corruption! Racism! Glenn Beck boots Acorn spokesman from his studio

Wednesday’s show proved why Glenn Beck’s ratings are going through the roof. First he cornered a smarmy ACORN spokesman. Then he booted him from the studio during a commercial break.

Here’s how the Washington Examiner reported it:

ACORN National Spokesman Scott Levenson was ejected from a Fox News studio Wednesday following an off-camera altercation with host Glenn Beck that involved racially charged comments, as they were described by Beck.

“I threw him out of the studio, get the hell out of my studio,” Beck told viewers he said after Levenson accused him of being “afraid of black people.”

Beck told listeners after the break that Levenson was expelled from the studio after he accused the host of being racist. Levenson appeared on the “Glenn Beck” show to respond to criminal charges filed against ACORN employees in Nevada on Monday. The non-profit organization, formally known as the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now, is under investigation nationwide for voter fraud in at least 12 different states.

In his exchange with Beck, the ACORN spokesman insisted that individual employees were responsible for the violations but not the national organization. Beck was not persuaded by this defense and persisted in his questioning.

There seems to be a theme today here at IHateTheMedia.com. And that theme is, “If there’s no liberal media bias, why is Fox News the only network that exposes this kind of stuff?”

Scott Levenson looks like a fraud from the first moment on camera, which makes him the perfect spokesman for ACORN.

Tea Party coverage leads to surge in Fox ratings

April 15, 2009 (Tea Party Night) Cable News RatingsEveryone’s ratings were up on the night of the Tea Parties, but the ratings at Fox were in the stratosphere. They can’t even see MSNBC in their rear view mirror anymore.

The Comedy Network’s Daily Show and Colbert climbed into the top ten at the expense of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and CNN’S Larry King.

The ratings for Ed Schultz’ EdShow were so abysmal that MSNBC may rename it “Weekday at Bernie’s.” And all that talk about “teabagging” caused Anderson Cooper to suck. Or maybe we should have said his ratings sucked. Yeah, that’s what we should have said.

Glenn Beck treats Connecticut Attorney General like Rocky treated that side of beef

No wonder Glenn Beck’s ratings are skyrocketing.

He’s probably the only guy on television willing to express the outrage we all feel. And express it he did when Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal was naïve enough to appear on his show tonight.

Let this video be a warning to any overconfident politician silly enough to venture into BeckLand.

Glenn Beck begins “Comrade Update” to honor Fearless Leader

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuwgHNtyD54Complete with an animated graphic showing us racing down the road to socialism, Fox host Glenn Beck launched a new feature last night dedicated to the glory of our new Fearless Leader.

“Comrades, good news from the western front,” Beck said, “Our glorious revolution is starting to take hold. Oh, the revolution of change. He just signed in S-Chips and earlier today He spoke out against capitalism.”

“These people may not be taking us down the same road as fascist dictators took the rest of the world on a long time ago,” Beck continued, “but they’re using the same tactics and the same propaganda. Our very country is at stake when people use emergencies to quickly shove down programs down our throats without any discussion.”

If Beck keeps this up, it won’t be long before they start regulating the salaries of talk show hosts.
