CNN Is #2 In Prime Time Total Viewers With Fort Hood Coverage, Day 2
Cable news ratings, November 6, 2009: Check out the highlights, and see the full ratings below:
• On Friday night, Fox News maintained a huge lead over its competition, beating CNN, MSNBC and HLN combined in total viewers. But sticking with total viewers in prime time, CNN got 2nd place. Could November (and the breaking news so far) propel CNN to a redemptive month? MSNBC was #2 in prime time in the A25-54 demographic, with CNN 3rd.
• Bill O’Reilly had the top show, in on a rare Friday night, in both categories. #2 in both categories was Sean Hannity the hour later, and Glenn Beck’s fill-in, Judge Andrew Napolitano, was 3rd.

libra blue says: This is not surprising, CNN usually gets good ratings for “breaking news” coverage. If CNN had not finished at least 2nd that would have been surprising. Having said that, their coverage of the Ft. Hood massacre was over the top PC.
On Anderson’s show I heard a myriad of excuses for why Hasan committed these murders, everything from 2nd hand post traumatic stress syndrome to being “bullied” by fellow soldiers. A mention was even made of the fact that he didn’t have a wife. I guess they were trying to suggest that he may have been sexually frustrated.
Everything but the obvious: that he is a murderous radical Islamic terrorist who hates the U.S.
As usual, the PC extended to their blogs and even Anderson’s FB page, where comments like the one I made above were blocked or deleted from those sites. However, the comments of terrorist sympathizers were and are frequently posted on both the AC360 blog and Anderson’s FB page.
I guess that is their definition of objective journalism.

Rahm Emanuel Thinks Washington Is Working Just Fine
60 Minutes aired tonight what feels like the kajillionth interview/profile of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. Boy does he look tired. Perhaps the most interesting thing to come from the spot, especially in light of today's epic vote on health care reform, is that Rahm thinks that Washington is working just fine. For real.
Tiger Woods Talks With ESPN: “I Hope They Clap for Birdies, Too”
Earlier this afternoon, Tiger Woods gave his first interviews since the accident last November with two sources, ESPN and The Golf Channel. The terms were surprisingly open: five minutes straight with no questions off limits, but mandated to be held for broadcast until 7:30 p.m. EDT. It's been a busy 10 days in Tiger news since he signed former George W. Bush Press Sec Ari Fleischer on board to run rebuild Woods's image.
