Fox News Ratings Spike During Tea Party
Posted on | April 16, 2009 | 2 Comments
Fox News aggresively promoted the “tea party” events that took place on tax day. Even though Fox News claims to be “fair and balanced” they saw tax day as an opportunity to gain market share and that they did! What a capitalist idea! The premlimary numbers are as follows:
TV Ratings During Tea Party Protest
8-11 PM ET
FOXNEWS 3,390,000
MSNBC 1,210,000
CNN 1,070,000
CNN HEADLINE 909,000
Not only did Fox News dominate the overall ratings, individual hosts saw a HUGE increase in numbers.
FOXNEWS O’Reilly 3,980,000
FOXNEWS Hannity 3,239,000
FOXNEWS Greta 2,947,000
FOXNEWS Beck 2,740,000
FOXNEWS Baier 2,401,000
FOXNEWS Shep 2,185,000
COMEDY Daily Show 1,777,000
MSNBC Olbermann 1,499,000
COMEDY Colbert 1,446,000
CNNHN Grace 1,336,000
CNN King 1,292,000
MSNBC Maddow 1,149,000
CNN Cooper 1,021,000
After analyzing the total domination in ratings by Fox News, it looks as if Americans do, in fact, want to be Capitalist; Are You Listening President Obama?!? Maybe our esteemed leader will get the picture that Americans want to be compensated for their knowledge, skills and abilities rather than seeing a redistribution of wealth.

So 3.98 million people, meaning 1.3% of the population of the U.S., watched this O’Reilly guy on Fox
Meanwhile, only 1,499 million people, meaning 0.049% of the population of the U.S., watched the Olbermann guy on MSNBC.
Conclusions:
(1) Hardly anyone is stupid enough to get their news from TV.
(2) But there are more stupid people watching Fox than elsewhere.

Funny thing is most working people would be in bed at that time. And since the very wealthy are the only ones that don’t have to work right now what exactly was the 0.7 percent of the richest 2% watching?
FOX NEWS fair and impartial? Please, no one could be that stupid – well, except for those two percent of Americans.
