Cable Ratings War?

Seems to me it's not much of a battle, much less a war. Fox news continues to thoroughly dominate its competition. Drudge occasionally puts up numbers, here are the ones from Friday March 13th:

FOXNEWS O'REILLY 3,185,000

FOXNEWS BECK 3,074,000

FOXNEWS HANNITY 2,557,000

FOXNEWS BAIER 2,151,000

FOXNEWS SHEP 1,879,000

FOXNEWS GRETA 1,522,000

MSNBC OLBERMANN 1,223,000

CNN KING 1,046,000

CNNHN GRACE 1,045,000

MSNBC MADDOW 954,000


It doesn't take an accountant to crunch these numbers to see that FNC is beating the hell out of everyone from 5-11PM EDT. O'Reilly, often the target of vitriol from Olberrmann, is out dueling this Olbey One Kenobe by over a 2.5:1 margin. And Maddow who was to supposed be the real deal back when she debuted, is turning in pathetically embarrassing numbers. She doesn't even attract a million.

But as you may guess there are those that spin this. The Olberrmann/Matthews crowd loves to portray FNC viewers as ignorant. Don't you just love people that think they are always right and the rest of the world is stupid?

Notice Matthews didn't even make the list? His viewership is down to practically he's extended family.
