Pres Obama lame attempt to convince people Fox News was not a news network has had as much success as his stimulus plan for the US economy

The ratings for Fox News are up 14% since Obama's attack on the network - much like the ratings for Rush Limbaugh are since Obama wnt after him for speaking out against the administrations policies

Don't you love this hope and change?

Fox News Ratings Soar After Snub From Obama
Joe Weisenthal|Oct. 26, 2009, 7:28 PM

Gee, do you think Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch love being The White House's least-favorite news channel? Duh, of course they do.

Here's a chart comparing network ratings from the period 9/28/2009-10/11/09, which is when Anita Dunn slammed the network, and the two weeks after that ("post feud"). The numbers on the bottom right of this chart show the sequential gain for all demos (+9%( and the 25-54 year old demo (+14%).

As for competition against the cable also rans, Fox News is sweeping the top 11 cable news slots in the 25-54-year old demographic (chart below), and the top 13 slots in all demos. It's kind of ridiculous. Word is that Shep Smith's program had its best month for the entire year. It must be depressing for folks like Olbermann and Chris Matthews, on MSNBC, how few people watch them.

Chris Matthews has one of the lowest rated shows on MSNBC, and he takes shots at the success of Fox News and Rush?

and libs keep saying Fox news is not popular?

and these people tell us to support Obama and his policies, and expect us to do it?

Hey, I am not complaining, let Obama keep the attacks up. As long as he attacks, the Fox news ratings continue to climb and that is a bad omen for the 2010 and 2012 elections.

Keep on going Obama. Attack, attack and attack, please do not stop!!!!

dmk

While Obama may not publicly whine about Fox news, he will sned others out to do it

I do not see what the connection is between Fox News being biased and their ratings. Are you supposing that facts are determined by how many people believe in it?
