Why is FNC on top again?
Is it because most Americans are right wing idiots?




May Ratings: FNC Stays On Top
For the 77th consecutive month, FNC finished first in total day and prime time ratings during May. FNC was the sixth highest rated cable network on all of basic cable during prime time for the month (CNN and MSNBC finished 19th and 26th) and the seventh rated network in total day (CNN and MSNBC were 19th and 27th).

FNC also had 11 out of the top 13 programs in cable during the month in Total Viewers. The O'Reilly Factor was the #1 program in cable news for the 90th consecutive month, and saw gains in Total Viewers year-to-year (26%).

Amercia's Newsroom (9-11amET) was up 30% year-to-year, with the program averaging more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined during the time period.

Meanwhile, On the Record with Greta Van Susteren has been #1 for 73 consecutive months in Total Viewers while Hannity & Colmes has been #1 in its timeslot for 54 consecutive months.

?!?!!?!?!!

I cannot imagine anyone from the left watching CNN or MSNBC and thinking --"Yeah! They're speaking my language. They're telling it like it is!"

Both of them are such ceaseless cheerleaders for the status quo that it's sickening. (not that that makes them any different than any other mainstream "news" outlet.

CNN and MSNBC are for the most part owned by defense industry corporations and defense contractors. MSNBC is owned by General Electric......who donated 1.1 million to George W. Bush’s campaign. CBS is owned by Westinghouse whose number one board member is Frank Carlucci, the president of the Carlyle Group. CNN is owned by Time Warner who donated 1.6 million to George Bush’s 2000 campaign. All of major media in this country is owned and controlled by huge Corporations with a vested interest --to put it mildly-- in seeing this country deeply involved in the foreign wars and conflicts from which they reap billions in profits.....and none of them are "liberals".

Simply put;

that the monied elite, who own and control the main sources of the dissemination of information to the masses, are the true power behind the throne. They own the politicians from both wings of the Corporate Party, the only political Party that this country has.

These men control, like puppets on a string, these people who they pay to have elected, and who make the laws in Washington. And they thus control the masses, without the masses even being aware of it. They control the way that the herd thinks, and moves.

that's among folks giving more than $200
METHODOLOGY: The totals on these charts are calculated from PAC contributions and contributions from individuals giving more than $200, as reported to the Federal Election Commission. Individual contributions are generally categorized based on the donor's occupation/employer, although individuals may be classified instead as ideological donors if they've given more than $200 to an ideological PAC.

most of his donations are still under the methodology for that graph.

2008 boosted Obama into the position of the most successful fundraiser, as he continues to pull ahead of Hillary Clinton in the money race every month. He seems to be having no problem appealing to new donors, either. In 2008 he's been raising more than $1 million a day, largely thanks to small online donors. Despite Obama's fundraising success, the two Democrats remain in a tight race for both superdelegates and delegates.

Not at first.
You wouldn't be able to judge the comparison fairly until the (new) nationalized company had to pay retirement benefits, pensions, equipment repairs, depreciation, etc.
These are all expenses that older companies have.

And although nationalized companies may not have CEO salaries to pay out, private sector companies don't spew out no show jobs to brothers-in-law, cousins and political cronies at nearly the same.

I don't think Pemex is widely regarded as a model of efficient operation. Regardless, I don't see how one company has any more leverage than 10 companies buying the same amount of oil. Is OPEC more likely to listen to one company asking for more production and/or lower prices than they would be to listen to ten companies?

You seem to be under the assumption that Amtrak is even available to use for most people. It doesn't pass through my town. In Cincinnati it passes through two or three times a week somewhere between 3 and 4 in the morning. Amtrak is great in the places where there's a decent enough population density and short enough distances to make it worthwhile, like the Eastern corridor, but it doesn't make a lot of sense in a lot of other places.

I disagree. Commercial passenger rail service does very well in other parts of the world, where gas prices have been higher than in the states for a long time. Western Europe and Japan have excellent rail services with some really fantastic high speed trains.

With Gas prices what they are, and rising, the push is for more rail service not less. Like Lionel said, it isn't available in his area. That is going to be the major demand in the coming years because of the high gas prices, to make it available to more people. Smart business people will see that demand and rush to fill it.

we don't live in other parts of the world. commerical rail service works in Japan because they're more densely populated. 127 million ppl, on a land mass about the size of CA, that's 75% mountainous forest.

But I don't need it - I have highways and I live 9 minutes away from an airport. And I wouldn't call it cheap. Competitive, perhaps, but it's not like it's available at cut-rate prices. And on time - in the Eastern Corridor, yes. Everywhere else - it's horribly off schedule. Mind you, that has more to do with the hosting freight railroads than Amtrak, but still . . .

I disagree. Commercial passenger rail service does very well in other parts of the world, where gas prices have been higher than in the states for a long time. Western Europe and Japan have excellent rail services with some really fantastic high speed trains.

They have higher population densities in much smaller areas (as was pointed out above). Which is why it's so popular and works to well on the east coast. Taking Amtrak between, say Chicago and Charlotte, wouldn't make sense because a plane would beat even high speed rail. We just have much larger distances to cover in this country.

Plus those countries all have a separate rail system for passenger trains, whereas Amtrak has to run over the rails of various freight railroads that aren't especially thrilled at having to put their high priority, very profitable freight trains on a siding to wait for Amtrak to slide by (except, again, on the east coast, where Amtrak for the most part runs over it's own rails). We would need a separate rail system, the cost of which would be so immense as to make it pretty much impossible.

I use Amtrak rail lines every day, leased by NJ Transit. Amtrak is a mess. Trains are broken down and late. It's horribly underfunded. The Northeast Corridor would run at a profit, but all the little lines out to Hooterville cause it to lose money. Many of these money-losing routes are actually pushed through by politicians in Washington. (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1215/is_11_200/ai_57843222)

In the rest of the Free World, train service, as well as most public transport, is more subsidized, and runs better. Of course the size of the US must be taken into account. But subsidizing public transport is not all that bad an investment when you consider all the hidden costs of driving cars. Like fighting a $2 trillion war in order to guarantee your oil supplies. And the medical costs associated with all the smog and pollution. And the global warming. In fact, when all the costs are analyzed, public transport is a downright bargain. NYC subway is 100 years old and helps to make NYC the most energy efficient city in America. Of course many in the current Congress still considers public transit the same thing as socialism. So it's time to vote those clowns out...

Well, let's not put the cart in front of the horse here - those same "clowns" aren't just against the (bordering on) boondoggle that is our public transit system; they're against most of the bullshit plans put out by the spendthrift clowns you cast your vote for.

Really? Why? :confused: Are you afraid of flying?
I'm not afraid of flying at all, it just makes me very physically uncomfortable. Even if I take decongestants and chew gum, the descent still makes my ears hurt so much that I cry and afterwards I can't hear right for up to 4 or 5 hours. It's also inconvenient and time consuming... For instance, if I were to go to New York City, it would take longer to fly than to drive because of the time spent in airports at each end. Of course with gas prices how they are, driving no longer really as much of an advantage as far as price, but it depends what you're driving.

Also I just like the train. I think it's fun to ride. The plane is not fun, even not including the physical discomfort. Plus there's better food on the train usually.

Wow. You're a real class act.

:rolleyes:

Yeah, that seems likely. :rolleyes: That was pretty freakin' juvenile (and not to mention, insulting), Decka.

You should know by now, only I'm allowed to say lewd things to DF, but there IS a prerequisite: the comments have to be at least somewhat tasteful. ;)

I was going to comment, but I thought I'd wait to see what you had to say. Now that you've commented, I will.

That was low, Decka...very low, even for you.

Hey, no worries, Vile. I agree that Decka was being immature and crude, but it's not like I haven't said worse things. (The difference being that when I say them they're usually funny... :thumbs:)

It did not seem to me to be much of a departure from his usual level.

Yea, it was low.. I didn't think anyone would take it seriously... obviously Dark didn't, but if she did, I would hate to think she would allow a post on a thread to darken her day... and I apologize for any offense taken.

Everyone else, however, and ROT and go to.... HEAVEN! Combat hate with love baby!

Perhaps it's because I see nothing wrong with the sort of "train" you were talking about anyways.

To each their own... obviously many girls don't mind going "round the block"... and picking up the 3am man-train. It's almost looked on as a positive thing for girls in today's society to express themselves as promiscuous and "whore-ish"...

It's cool for guys to have a lot of sex, but if women do it they are whores. Weird double standard.

Besides, women can have multiple orgasms. I can't blame 'em.

Yeah. Right.

I guess that would be the sort of "love" you were dispensing a few posts ago with your speculation that DarkFantasy might be saying she enjoys participating in gang bangs, when she mentioned she 'liked trains'.

Garsh........that Christian love sure is a wonderful thang.

:D

Apparently you think it's also a positive thing to express yourself in a crude and tasteless fashion.

Well hey, it came out of my "mouth" FT (actually, i typed it).. so I must have meant it with the deepest importance from the bottom of my heart... right?

No, I wouldn't classify that as one of my "serious posts"... just a stray from the subject. Interesting how this thread got all juicy once I involved some drama.. kind of typical, no wonder why reality TV is so "in" right now.

Unfortunately, you really don't know me at all... but feel free to judge me, but I won't judge you, at least your soul. As far as deserving to go to heaven, we are on the same level IMO. I just am reaching for mercy while you choose not to, which is your choice, and quite fine in this secular nation.

I am guilty of murdering your "good name" though... at least your online identity... for that I am guilty, and if it offends you.. I definitely apologize. Not normally my cup of tea, but I'm not hear to represent the Christian faith.. I am a human being... enough said.

No... my post was absolutely tasteless and crude, if taken in a serious context...

Maybe you kinda have to to make fun of it (not that I'm condoning what he said, mind you). I mean, seriously - he does kinda have a point; American society nowadays has a tendency to popularize that kind of promiscuous behavior (think; Paris Hilton, for example). I find her actions to be, by and large, morally repugnant, but for whatever reason, I still want to nail her.

Okay, so I'm conflicted....

I would --and I am being completely honest-- rather undergo a root canal than to take a 4 hour airplane trip.

Try 14. No joke. Atlanta to Seoul. Tokyo to Chicago was 12.
