Why is CNN Turning Into Fox News III

I'll answer the question for you Millardo. Their ratings had tanked because they were so biased to the left that they had to hire some people to balance their views. Why do you think their ratings hit the skids Ms. Thing? They're not stupid, they see the success that FOX has had.

FOX has been tripling CNN's ratings. It's a business Ms. Thing that's what they do...make money.

FNC averaged 1.57 million viewers in primetime, up 18 percent from the same period last year, while CNN fell 21 percent to 637,000 viewers from the same time period," Variety stated.

The growth appeared across the board at Fox News:

  • "On the Record With Greta Van Susteren" up 37 percent;

  • "Hannity & Colmes" up 19 percent;

  • "Special Report With Brit Hume" up 20 percent;

  • and "The O'Reilly Factor," up 9 percent.

    1. Sounds like some important factual information regarding an "issue of the day". One of my favorite shows is Scarborough Country on MSNBC of all places. Joe is an independent thinker whose ideas I often find interesting. You may want to recommend it to Ms. Millard the next time she consults you for tv viewing advice.

    2. I don't really like O'reilly but according to Millard he speaks for all of us.

    4. At least O'Reilly doesn't give me a migrane EVERY time he opens his mouth...

      As usual, Mizz Millard has her facts wrong. CNN didn't hire Glenn Beck, Headline News did. Headline News is a seperate being from CNN; they merely buy airspace on CNN.

      Headline News can read the ratings as easily as any American; they know that people are sick of talking heads.

      Glenn Beck will also be a prime time show, focusing more on humor than on trying to be a reporter. Reporting isn't what Headline News hired him for.

      I also think it is funny that Millard cut off what Beck was saying about Sheehan halfway through the conversation.Obviously, she has never actaully listened to his show.

      And, if anyone is a media whore, it is Cindy 'Mutha' Sheehan.
