libra blue says: Anderson’s ratings keep sinking. I think his loss of objectivity it hurting him big time. Last night he called the tea party protests anti-Obama marches and he allowed his usual panel of hacks including David “redneck” Gergen and Carville to blame the protesting on nothing more than racism.
Although opinionated programs like Olbermann’s and Maddow’s live numbers are beating him, his change from being an objective journalist to a pundit for Obama is not working for 360.
At least he didn’t call them “tea baggers” this time, but the stench of that comment is still hanging around his neck.
libra blue says: I forgot to mention Grace’s live numbers are also higher than Anderson’s as well in both the demo and the total viewers.
With a far lower HUT level at 5, Beck’s numbers — especially compared with Hannity’s — are amazing.

Obama’s Final Push On Health Care To Democratic Caucus On Capitol Hill
President Barack Obama spoke in the conference hall of the Capitol today about the health care reform bill which is coming close to meeting enough votes to pass in the House of Representatives, which earlier today decided not use the "deem and pass" strategy to railroad the bill through Congress. "I know this is a tough vote for some of you," said our president, adding "Don't do it for Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid, or me. Do It for the American People." Pay attention folks, this speech is definitely one for the history books.
