Rep Power: 8277 | Hardball/Glenn Beck/O'Reilly/Mad Money Despite drawing smaller audience than nearly all of his competitors, Beck falsely claimed his CNN Headline News program "beat Hardball " seven of 10 times | Media Matters for America Viewers of various cable shows. Limbaugh's Audience Size? It's Largely Up in the Air - washingtonpost.com Rush Limbaugh's listeners I have never understood why people put such belief in the overall programming of cable TV. Certainly listeners do not or there would be bigger numbers. With over 350 million people in the United states, to attract 200-400K per program is miniscule. Each party has it own cable talk show host or at least you can listen to each and every one and quickly figure out if they are Republican or Democrat. Same thing for Mad Money. His viewership and that of his cable station is not that big when compared to how many people the audience could reach. We seem to want to automatically give that person with the microphone much greater viewership credit than we think. We watch as if everyone in the world is listening to these guys. Obviously they are not. So when they go on for or against Obama or whatever, please remember that it only represents a small portion of society and the rest are doing just fine by living and enjoying life day to day. They will make there decision at the voting booths and not live day to day the negatives that is politics on both sides. Just my thoughts. Have a Great Day, Evades |

Rep Power: 127208 | Re: Hardball/Glenn Beck/O'Reilly/Mad Money A fun thing to do is to google Beck, Hannity, and Limbaugh every day and hit the news tab. Media Matters posts each morning to point out the lies, it's hilarious, plus News Hounds often fact checks them as well. The MSLSD I mean the MSNBC programs do stretch the truth as well, but not nearly as much or as bad. |
