More people (4 million) tune in to The Daily Show than Fox news

[59millionmorons]

Once again proving how few viewers even watch shows like Hardball, Wannity and Colmes, O'Crybaby. The ratings for these shows are so low that the WB network would cancel them. The cartoon network triples the amount of viewers of the 24hr network news outlets.

1. How many people watch Fox News over 24 hours?

Daily Show = one hour. Fox News = 24 hours. That's the problem.

3. But who watches Fox for 24 hours?

And I make it a point to stop what I'm doing at 11 PM and tune into the Daily Show - and I don't think I'm alone.

4. but the same people probably watch over the 24-hr. period.

Most Fox fans I know (and, thankfully, it's not that many), keep their tvs tuned to fox whenever they are in their homes and awake.

2. More people listen to NPR than watch broadcast news.

It's something like 11 mil to 8 mil.

5. Apparently, even Ray Kroc's wife listened!

I wonder if they'll be McDonald's commercials on public radio now?

6. That was a nice article.

And it is encouraging to know that more people in the coveted demographic tune to the Daily Show for no spin BS, then they do for the O'beilley show. I have a sliver of hope now.

Any good news for Jon is good news to me!

9. Smart people.

I've even taken to watching Colin afterwards. The audience claps very loudly when any anti-war sentiments are expressed (which, of course, isn't very often.) There is hope.

10. Thanks for Surfacing This Thread

Had been gnawing at me that I hadn't saved the link before and that it would be needed for future quoting purposes. Jon & company are the greatest.
