Q&A: Brian Kilmeade
"you may already know that Brian Kilmeade of Fox News Network is one of the best in the news reporting business"
FNC are in trouble if Kilmeade is one of their best...But wait....It's not just FNC Malinowski is saying he's the best...But the whole news reporting business....America is is in trouble if that's one of their best. :lol:
What will Malinowski be reporting next....Doocy/Carlson are really "fair and balanced"
Cheers Johnny for posting the link to that article....I needed a laugh today.

This is just too precious:
25-54 demographic: (L +SD)
Total day: FNC: 343 | CNN: 182 | MSNBC: 147 | HLN: 157
Prime: FNC: 489 | CNN: 274 | MSNBC: 274 | HLN: 296
MSBS is dead last or tied for last behind HLN for the entire day.
O'Reilly's RERUN beat every every evening show, even on FNC..
Total Viewers: (L +SD)
Total day: FNC: 1332 | CNN: 643 | MSNBC: 495 | HLN: 331
Prime: FNC: 2563 | CNN: 971 | MSNBC: 1034 | HLN: 773
Total viewers were just about the same story except O'Reilly's Rerun didn't beat all the other FNC shows, just the the other 3 also rans.

Unfortunately it doesn't say much for the people who made you #6 on the search query list. Those searches only cover blog posts; they do not include the haloscan comments. So I don't think your fans got many results for their efforts.

Johnny, you're correct....But it does show folk took the time to search and were interested in my precise analysis to try and find more of it.
On a side note...What is the best way to search the haloscan comments completely and not just a day at a time....The reason I ask....I need to dig up some of ashley's old post.
I did try inserting this: "what ever you want to search for""haloscan.com/comments/johnnydollar" in google but only a couple of results appeared.

Matthews has spent all but 5 minutes of Hardball drooling over Limbaugh. Matthews is a great example of what I see as the incredibly jealous MSM. What do you think Matthews would give to even be mentioned as the defacto head of a political party? What would he give to have the ability to shape the political debate in America?

Haggis, I'm afraid neither you nor Stewart understood the Biden gaffe.
The gaffe was that he said he forgot the website "number", indicating that he really knows nothing about the internet in general. I doubt you've ever asked anyone for a website number.

FF I understand it very well....The Friends simply saw it as another cheap attack and called Malkin in for reinforcements...Knowing what they'd get there.
Joe was simply caught off guard and didn't have the address on the tip of his tongue....That sort of thing has happened to me many times and I'm sure the same can be said of everyone here.
The laugh really was the bad spelling at Fox...Their gaffe.

I became a fan of the Prisoner when it was first run in the US on Monday nights at 8 PM, during the 60s. All excellent episodes, Chimes of Big Ben/Schizoid Man are tied for my favorite episode. Leo McKern the best of the number twos. "Who is number one?", "You are number six". They gave him a number, and took away his name!
For a few years, the opening them to Prisoner was the start up sound for my laptop. I may need to put it back as I think about it.
In the mid eighties, I got the bright idea to get personalized license plates for my car, KAR120C. Filled out the paperwork, paid the bill, then later found out the plates had already been taken. A prisoner fan will recognize those license plates.
I was very sad when McGoohan died. I was a big fan.
Nice to know you are a fellow fan.

I can laugh at their spelling error with you, but that wasn't Stewart's primary focus. Most telling is that there are spelling errors on chyrons on all of the news channels but John only talks about Fox's.

Ashley | 03.02.09 - 9:12 pm |
As I've said many times before....I know my spelling isn't the best....but I'm not airing my spelling on live TV. It was especially amusing as they were talking about gaffes at the time and the Friends didn't even notice their own gaffe.
Right back to watching Inspector Morse before work....Another fine show you should check out

I almost spit out my coffee with that claim! Don't do that OS!
COUNTDOWN is riddled nightly with half-truths, out of context attacks, partisan hair splitting and use of entire memes lifted from radical sources (non-attributed of course).
To even suggest any fact checkers even enter into the equation in the formation of the propaganda parade called COUNTDOWN is FANTASYLAND thinking.
I won't stop chuckling over that one until about lunchtime.

Interesting bit on CJR publishing the off-the-record comments of the CNBC honcho.
I'm wondering why the Playboy blog, which ventured a vast rightwing conspiracy around Santelli, was taken down.

Talk about the most ridiculous item of the day! If BOR wanted to resurrect that segment, this statement is the perfect starter.
When Olbermann says something that is blatantly nonfactual, he never takes it back.
