Thank you, President Obama!

Fox News pulls huge election day ratings. Mr. President, White House aides, they couldn’t have done it without your support, er, condemnation. On election night this week,
Between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. (8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time), Fox News grabbed 4.04 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The other outlets weren’t even close.
MSNBC had 974,000 viewers. The CNN-owned HLN (previously CNN2 or CNN Headline News) had 842,000, and CNN trailed with 826,000.
Even with the CNN networks’ combined 1.67 million viewers, it was still way behind Fox News in viewership.
Fox News even dominated in the younger 25-54 age demographic with 1.13 million. The three other networks combined don’t even touch that number.
Let’s see, more people who turned to news networks, got their news from FoxNews than from the other three networks combined. And that holds if we count MSNBC’s audience twice.

MediaMorons will be along, shortly, to tell us how those numbers are fraudulent.
Now CNN will try to catch up by running a 2 hour special about how there needs to be guns outlawed on military bases.

Here’s my fave line from excerpt from this posted on Power Line:
“…more Democrats watch Fox News than CNN and MSNBC combined, even though those networks cater almost exclusively to the left–one more reason why the Obama administration’s attacks on Fox are painfully stupid.”

I understand on election nite both Matthews and Olbermann left the studio befor 9:30 in a huff because of the liberal rout. At 10 oclock they ended up running a re run instead of live news.
