Wrong. Olberman has caught up to O'Reilly and beaten him in the crucial 24-54 age group, and is 85% of O'Reilly's ratings in one of the hourly slots. It was announced on TV. That's a huge leap for Olberman and a big drop for O'Reilly. Maybe O'Reilly has a big lead amongst old people and rightwingers, but seniors aren't stupid and they don't like that the GOP rightwing is doing. In case you haven't been seeing the stories, Fox News is in trouble. It's mainly because they've been lying and covering up the truth for a long time and people are finally beginning to realize it and resent it deeply. There will also be millions of dittohead types who want more propaganda than news, but Fox News is taking a bit hit. Fox might also realize that it's only hot TV event this past month was having Clinton on, and having Clinton actually attack Fox's bias. How telling is that when that;'s their only ratings getter?

Jon Stewart is more credible than Fox News now on serious events going on in the country. rawstory.com Fox News, in case you hadn't noticed, called Foley a democrat two days ago. They never retracted it either. They have also allowed their chief pundits to try to change the subject from Foleygate to sex scandals as many as 33 years old, and to put out false and misleading information on the 1973 Gary Studds scandal and Monica Lewinsky. Hannity is the biggest offender, claiming Studds had a 17 year old boyfriend in the 80's when it was 1973, an age when sexual freedom was at its height and gay boy-lovers were almost never noticed or prosecuted, including in the churches, boy scouts and single sex boy schools. Hannity claimed "that wasn't long ago" but it was 33 years go. Also Studds freely admitted what he did, and though reprimanded by democrats went onto be re-elected 5 times, and his boyfriend stood by him the entire time. Weird but not criminal. Hannity also claimed Lewinsky was a "teenager" but she was 22 when she she was playing around with Clinton, and it was her choice to do so. In fact she was obsessed with going after CLinton, which though embarrassing and damaging was totally legal. Hitting on teenaged boys and setting up dates is not legal, especially in 2006 vs. the 1970's.
