Bush at highest disapproval rating ever americanresearchgroup.com The American Spirit may be alive, but Bush and Delay are sinking fast. Do not confuse America, our troops and Bush, they are three different things. America does not need Bush. We can do better. At least we need checks and balances to keep him from ramming through corrupt unpopular rightwing programs.

Fox News in Ratings Free Fall newshounds.us Here's something you won't hear on Fox News -- ratings for the cable news channel have been plummeting since before the November election. According to TV Newser, the number of people watching Fox during prime time in the 25 to 54 age bracket dropped in April for the sixth straight month. TV Newser cited a CNN press release which gave these totals for Fox's primetime audience in the 25 to 54 age bracket: Oct. 04: 1,074,000; Nov. 04: 891,000; Dec. 04: 568,000; Jan. 05: 564,000; Feb. 05: 520,000; March 05: 498,000; April 05: 445,000. That amounts to a decline of 58 percent, with no sign of leveling off. Other cable stations' ratings were also down since the election, but CNN's, for example, appeared to have stabilized last month while Fox's continued to drop. What the press release didn't say is that we can add 629,000 people to those who don't watch Fox. That works out to just over 89,857 people for each of the seven News Hounds who are watching Fox so those people don't have to. Now that we've added another Hound, we should be able to take care of the remaining 445,000 in even less than six months. Fox's plunging ratings should be a warning to those cable stations trying to copy the news channel's conservative Republican slant. People are tired of it. Try something different, like a progressive television show, for a change.

Fox is Fked. Yaaay New Hounds Posted by: colleen at May 18, 2005 09:54 PM Judy, I can only hope, but I think that people are not seeing any good coming from Bubble Boy's administration. The word is out that Faux is reporting in a very biased manner and people want their news straight - they don't want all the tabloid like reporting with all of their special effects swirls, whistles and bells. Hopefully the country is starting to wake up. They see the money and lives pouring out of our country for a war based on lies. They see gas prices going up and up, with a Texas oil man in charge. They don't know if their jobs will be there tomorrow. It's funny that Faux has started copying some of the stories that have aired on CNN for months - for example - the illegal immigrant story - Lou Dobbs has been covering it forever. Maybe it's their way of trying to recapture some of those viewers. I hope the trend continues -- I really hope the moderates of this country are now aware of what is happening to this country and how Faux panders to whatever Bubble Boy's administration does. Maybe, like Bush's approval rating, Faux's ratings will continue the downfall. Scarlet, PbD Posted by: Scarlet, PbD at May 18, 2005 10:00 PM
