Re: "Faux News is now the leading prime time cable news channel, eclipsing left-leaning CNN."

That'll turn around when Rush Bimbo signs with CNN. Also, didn't Geraldo Rivera recently jump ship for Faux? He'll be a real addition to Faux's fascist team. Ha ha ha.

I'm going to give a little tip to you and JLA and the rest of you piss-and-vinegar types: Political ideology has got zilch to do with what any of these cable TV channels do. It's all ratings/profits. If more money could be made by switching from right-wing hate talk to New Age flute music, that's where all these channels would be tomorrow morning at 7 a.m.

A WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE News Roundup

WASHINGTON -- Retail sales surged to a record in the U.S. in October, led by cheap financing for new cars.

Sales of retail and food services jumped a record 7.1% last month to a seasonally adjusted $306.83 billion, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. The figures soared past economists' estimates, which called for only a 2% increase, according to a survey from Thomson Global Markets.
