Hey, M! Me too!

Although… as Captain correctly points out… that’s not standard measurement. KO lied about it, so it has no relevance! Of course, when you check the stats online, you’ll find saying “MSNBC is winning” also to be a lie.

Anyway, being in the younger-half of the actual “demo” audience myself… what does that say about all the, “FOX audience is old” blah-blah?

Wow, another dig at FNC. Where’s the story of FNC beating the other networks by huge numbers in the key demo? Where’s the story about many nights The Factor or Glen Beck have more KEY DEMO numbers than the total viewers of OLBYNUT and pretty much all the other shows as well?!

Or where’s the story of how lucrative all those “old viewers” are that are so easily dismissed? Its a great thing satellite and cable tv operators don’t care about the age of their clients who pay $75 or so a month to watch cable/satellite. Those old viewers help make FNC one of the highest licensed channels on tv. Why don’t you ever right about how much money Fox News rakes in from those fees? Or point out how much more lucrative all those fees are than ad revenue?!

M claims:
I’m in the segment of the demo that MSNBC beats both Fox News and CNN.>

You mean the Demo that KEITH OLBERMANN just created out of thin air? The one he made up that even left wing Mediaite called him on?!

Congress does not care about Our healthcare because:

Because any legislation won’t affect them. You see, they have the special services of the Office of the Attending Physician (OAP) to take care of their every need.

Members of Congress do not pay for the individual services they receive at the OAP, nor do they submit claims through their federal employee health insurance policies. Instead, members pay a flat, annual fee of $503 for all the care they receive. The rest of the cost of their care, sources said, is subsidized by taxpayers.

Last year, Congress appropriated more than $3 million to reimburse the Navy for staff salaries at the office. Next year’s budget allocates $3.8 million for the office, including more than half a million dollars to upgrade the Office’s radiology suite. Sources said additional money to operate the office is included in the Navy’s annual budget.

A pretty good health care plan: $500 a year for unlimited and immediate healthcare services. Do you think the “Public Option” will provide the same.

For all the talk about FNC’s “older” audience… no mention that they trounce in “the Demo” as well.

Gee… I wonder why….

When I was a kid, I remember reading a weekly humor magazine called The New Yorker in our high school library. It was filled with outrageously funny stories by S.J. Perelman, Isaac Singer, and Woody Allen. I remember reading Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood” in The New Yorker and what gay guy could forget reading “Brokeback Mountain” in The New Yorker. Sadly it’s a different magazine today. Here’s a quote from their piece about Obama before the election: “Perhaps the greatest misconception about Barack Obama is that he is some sort of anti-establishment revolutionary. Rather, every stage of his political career has been marked by an eagerness to accommodate himself to existing institutions rather than tear them down or replace them….he has always played politics by the rules as they exist, not as he would like them to exist. He runs as an outsider, but he has succeeded by mastering the inside game.” As I said, The New Yorker is a sad shell of what it used to be.
