Tila Tequila has been dropped from Larry King's hard-hitting and intellectual broadcast. In other news, Larry King has uncontrollable flatulence.

Anyone know if Palin is going to be up against an adversary during her appearances on Fox?...Or is she just going to be aloud to spout unchallenged.

Palin is going to do a show about the heros of America. She's going to say how great these heroes are, sad that anyone would want someone to take the other point of view.

Conan just announced that he was leaving NBC. That will leave the Tonight Show to be again hosted by Jay Leno and no change for the Late Night show with Jimmy Fallon.
What's happened to Leno/O'Brien is indicative of what's happened over at MSNBC. NBC is run by idiots.
I recommend that the board of directors immediately fire management and replace them with whomever happens to be walking outside 30 Rockefeller Center. Even Patrick or John T could do a better job running NBC. CEO Patrick could even rename the building 30 Li'lfeller Center.

Regarding Ailes still in charge, the Huffington Post reports today that Roger Ailes was fired.

The clown Cavuto doesn't think climate change exists due to a cold winter. He somehow forgot to mention Australia in tonight's rant.
Melbourne has suffered its hottest night since 1902 as a heat wave grips southern Australia.... night-time temperatures in Melbourne have reached 34C (93F).

Terrific to hear that Fox News Sunday is getting so much press of its own. Great host, great guests, great audience!

Yum! The Cherry Pie that Glenn Beck is cutting up certainly does look good. I think a visit to Marie Calendar's is in order.

With the exception of Shep and Bret, all of the fox hosts beat their competitions TOTAL viewers with their DEMO viewers. Cankles fighting for second place with BOR, Maddow struggling to beat King.
But that Cherry Pie!

I didn't ask you that....I asked why does FNS come in last every Sunday with all that wonderful press attention. The 3rd place Sunday show normal doubles the rating FNS get.
It says to me that folk don't want bias....so thay simply tune out FNS.

What does Shep and Bret have to do with Fox News Sunday ratings? As I said above, please have your "Analyses-is-spot-on"ometer adjusted, it's apparently out of whack.

It's just impressive how Beck so understands what he is talking about and can do most of his show without a teleprompter. Same with BOR, Greta, and Bret. Hannity uses a tp too much, he's better without it. He also needs to put more folks from the left onto the Great American Panel. If it were up to me, I would shrink that panel to two people, keep them both from the left most nights.

Precisely the reason msnbc is dead last every night and Fox News is #1 across the board.

Fox is the most popular cable news channel and it just drives the haters nuts. I think that's a good thing.

The population of the US is around 304,059,724.
The number of folk that watch Fox is a couple of million...So in the grand scheme of things its a minuscule number of Americans that actually watch FNC.
3...2..1...Well even less watch CNN/MSNBC...Who'll be 1st

I've seen this argument before. If you feel that way about the 304 million and how it applies to ratings, the earlier point you tried to make, even though you were wrong, was nothing more than a moot point.
It seems childish that you would even bring it up in the first place only to report later that it didn't matter.

Palin was in campaign mode tonight. She's using FNC as a political springboard.

A LOT less watch msnbc. You couldn't answer that when it was posed to you before and I don't expect a reasonable answer this time either, haggy.

Bingo. It's called a "backpedal."
