Cable News Ratings

 

Bill O'Reilly - Still #1

Fox is #1 Again, and Again and Again

Thank God for Fox News.  Without Fox the so-called "news" on TV would be nothing but propaganda handouts from the Comrades at the Democrat National Committee.

But that being said, I have a number of issues with Fox News.  They tend to follow the Statist line never really questioning their Big Government Republican Party guests.  Fox is all about cheer leading and ratings.  Republicans good.  Democrats bad.  The fact that both parties eagerly support the same programs is mostly glossed over.

Oh well, some kind of opposition TV news is better than nothing at all.
