Alan Colmes is a weak pundit for a reason.

If he were a strong one with Left views no one would get a word in on the show.

Has he died of a heart attack yet tonight?

11/5/2008 2:01:37 AM

^ we can always dream.

though i'd prefer an on-air aneurysm.

11/5/2008 2:58:22 AM

just get ready for his antics when he can say, "I TOLD YOU SO"

11/5/2008 2:59:20 AM

he'll have already had a massive heart attack long before anything like that that ever could happen.

11/5/2008 3:04:13 AM

i think youre wrong

[Edited on November 5, 2008 at 3:05 AM. Reason : think]

11/5/2008 3:05:17 AM

i think i'm wrong too. i dont really think he'll have a heart attack.

although, he won't ever have cause to gloat about being right on any of his asshole comments about bama, either.

that wont stop him from making shit up though. he's just a tabloid sleazeball, after all.

edit post god this guy is a douchebag.. but colmes might be even gayer.. i watch fox news because it is entertaining in a laughable way.. their coverage of the election tomorrow will be great. can't way to see the spin on exit polls etc.


is that right? is that why they were the first to call PA for Obama? They were also talking about getting killed in the electoral college. 56 million for mccain on tuesday and bushs 62 million in 2004..... kerry 59 million in 2004 and obamas 63 million yesterday. They killed the republicans yesterday. MSNBC is slowly going to go out of business as of january 20th,2009.

11/5/2008 9:36:32 PM

^ $20 says you're wrong, idiot.

11/5/2008 9:37:41 PM

Oh really? Is that why they almost had the plug pulled on them in 2006 which is when they took a hardcore turn to the left? Do some research before you come with something like that. GE almost has pulled the plug 2-3 times already. They better find someone else to start ripping on.

11/5/2008 9:49:06 PM

Funny then how they're beating Fox News in the demo more and more frequently.

Also, MS pulling out of the network has nothing to do with the network itself, and everything to do with the fact that MS doesn't have a fucking clue what to do with MSN.

And please post where you're getting that bullshit about the network being almost killed off. I bet you won't find it on any reputable news source.

[Edited on November 5, 2008 at 9:54 PM. Reason : MSN]

11/5/2008 9:53:11 PM

You must listen to keith olbermanns absolute bullshit he pulls off at the beggining of the show, because FOX news at 8pm at night on CABLE beat out CBS main time 6pm news. Do you realize how big that is? It's a fact and I don't have the time nor do I care to show you the proof. I watch MSNBC, CNN, and FOX news. Winning head to head on 1 show 4 out of 10 times as Keith Olbermann claimed last week is the dumbest claim to being a better show I have ever heard. MSNBC like I said has been struggling and it is a known fact. Did you watch them in 2004 when they weren't so hard to the left? I did, EVERY NIGHT. After that election their numbers went down dramatically. Now they have two hard core liberals who basically pub bash for an hour on end. Like I said enjoy thinking your right, in fact lets go for a benji.

11/6/2008 12:07:37 AM

Where you at bud? Guess who was the # 1 watched channel for election night? Okay like I said I am down for the 20 plus more.

11/6/2008 6:36:10 PM

bud light = #1
mcdonalds = #1

USA #1

11/6/2008 6:42:03 PM

Yeah, I had to go to bed, some of us don't stay up late.

Okay, so didja read the part I wrote about winning "in the demo" ? I'm guessing you didn't. But here, I'll let you have some data to back up my point:

Data from Nielsen from a period of about one week, weeknights:
Fri, Oct 24 - http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_friday_oct_24_98730.asp
Mon, Oct 27 - http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_monday_oct_27_98875.asp
Tues, Oct 28 - http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_tuesday_oct_28_98977.asp
Wed, Oct 29 - http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_wednesday_oct_29_99154.asp
Thu, Oct 30 - http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_thursday_oct_30_99295.asp
Fri, Oct 31 - http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_friday_oct_31_99471.asp

7-10pm, MSNBC won almost all of the timeslots. IN THE DEMO. As I said above. The 25-54 demographic is the one used by advertisers, so that's the only one that actually matters as far as $ is concerned.

And to answer your point about who was the top rated channel on Election Night? That would be ABC. Jesus, are you really too lazy to actually go look up information before posting a line of BS?

11/6/2008 6:47:38 PM

Try again bud.

Total day: FNC: 379
MSNBC: 298

I am taking it you don't work in the media?

Total day: FNC: 1457
MSNBC: 794

O'Reilly: Countdown:
3577 2593

why should he try again?

11/6/2008 8:08:29 PM

Okay, so when you're presented with objective data, your best response is "try again" ?

So, let's review what just happened:

- You didn't read what I said. or you cherry-picked because you THOUGHT you knew what i said.
- You have no factual data to back up your points, just some gross generalizations.
- You have no rebuttal except "try again."
- You decided to throw Keith Olbermann at me, as if I'm supposed to be insulted, or as if it's relevant.

You fail, no $20 for you. GOOD DAY SIR.

11/6/2008 8:10:30 PM

a 3577 to a 2953 is not only winning but in media terms an assraping. Thanks again for arguing with me regarding something I have studied and worked as a career for 4 plus years now. Thanks.

11/6/2008 8:11:45 PM

Okay, you're still not listening. I'm done. You've lost the $20 that I put up. GOOD DAY SIR.

[Edited on November 6, 2008 at 8:16 PM. Reason : oh yeah, way to go... gg adding those statistics AFTER i replied. ]

what an absolute joke

i hope that username has just been hijacked

11/6/2008 8:14:30 PM

When you say cable show televisions most watched channel during the entire day on election day then my comment was correct. You are just like the people who post in the comment section of the links you provided.

[Edited on November 6, 2008 at 8:17 PM. Reason : .]

11/6/2008 8:16:49 PM

So now stats that YOU provided are incorrect? Wow.

11/6/2008 8:17:32 PM

I haven't bothered to look at any comments on any of the pages I linked to. Maybe they'll be more interesting to read.

And getting back to the original part of the bet, my $20 offer was that you're wrong about MSNBC going out of business after Obama is inaugurated. I'm no longer interested in arguing ratings now, since this discussion feels more like Olbermann vs. O'Reilly. I'll respect your viewpoint, since Fox News *IS* generally a ratings winner, if you'll accept that they don't always win. The data can back up both points equally, and honestly I don't feel like arguing on the Internetz.

I've posted a civil reply. Can you?

11/6/2008 8:23:00 PM

I am not a fan of either, I just want to point out the fact that MSNBC was struggling, bushs approval rating went down and they pounced. January 20th, 2009 he is gone...now what for msnbc?!

11/6/2008 8:58:29 PM

i'm going to end this by apologizing for calling you an idiot at the top of the convo.

11/6/2008 9:13:16 PM

i'd like to apologize, also.

i'm sorry for ever posting in this thread.

<3 how everyone complains about FOX News, but studies show they are far more balanced than their competitors.

11/7/2008 4:31:41 PM

The studies showed they were WAY more balanced than any other network. On top of that they ran the least negative segments of any other station. Surprise surprise who ran the most negative stories...

11/7/2008 5:44:08 PM

blah

11/12/2008 12:08:17 AM

plz to post a link to those studies

11/12/2008 12:21:54 AM

seriously

cause i've seen like 3 studies that say the opposite

11/12/2008 12:22:46 AM

No need to post any link because obvious you guys are right and everyone else is wrong. Based on stories written one even stated how fox news was biased yet according to their graphs all the other channels had more negative stories compared to positive stories on candidates. If you actually watch the channel it is much easier to stand than some of those on MSNBC. If you are a late nighter check out RED EYE at 3am.

11/12/2008 12:36:39 AM

is it really that hard to provide proof?

i'm really not trying to start an argument, but i really find it hard to believe that any scientific study would show fox news to be the least biased network

i'm pretty sure no network dedicated a few hours to john mccain and his associations as did fox did with obama and his "radical friends"

11/12/2008 12:46:20 AM

I've read it, it's a report by the Pew Center. I'm looking for it now.

"Of the 20 major media outlets studied, 18 scored left of center, with CBS' "Evening News," The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times ranking second, third and fourth most liberal behind the news pages of The Wall Street Journal. Only Fox News' "Special Report With Brit Hume" and The Washington Times scored right of the average U.S. voter. The most centrist outlet proved to be the "NewsHour With Jim Lehrer." CNN's "NewsNight With Aaron Brown" and ABC's "Good Morning America" were a close second and third."

while those polls are interesting,(i looked at them before you posted that link), i would love to see how they determine what is negative and what is positive

with that said, having watched all 3 cable news networks, i would say that fox's negative stories were far worse than any story the other 2 ran

and i believe that 24-hour news networks are trash and are bringing journalism down

"NEW YORK - Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity is losing his liberal half. Alan Colmes of the network's "Hannity & Colmes" said on his Web site today that he'll be leaving the prime-time show after 12 years. He said he approached a network executive earlier this year about doing something else. Colmes will continue as a liberal commentator on Fox programs, keep doing his own radio show and is developing a weekend show at Fox News. There was no immediate word about whether he will be replaced on the popular prime-time program. Hannity has been the bigger star in media circles and recently signed a contract extension. Hannity also does his own solo weekend show at Fox. "
