    Once again, O’Reilly beats CNN by almost a 10-to-1 margin. That’s right, almost TEN-TO-ONE.

    And just wait and see what happens tonight, when Bill and Juan Williams have a conversation that you WON’T HEAR ON NPR. Only Eliot Spitzer’s mom will be watching CNN.

  • JimBob

    Spitzers wife and Mom will be watching Factor.

  • Moderate

    Spitzer will be DVRing the Factor.

  • ModerateMan

    I think Spitzer tapes the show during the day. He will probably be DVRing his own show after he gets done watching the Factor.

  • ModerateMan

    Actually, I bet Spitzer’s DVR is already overfilled with last friday’s Cinemax line-up.

  • stephen rhymer

    how sad a commentary on the intelligence level of TV viewers that the two shows with the least to offer and the ones most people watch.

    Newton Minnow’s cry that TV is a vast wasteland has come true.

  • Latin2

    The combined Matthews shows do not even match one Beck show…even if you throw in the Ed Schutz show in the mix.

    All 3 shows on MSNBC cannot one Beck show around the same time.

  • Kitsune

    So, can we declare Parker/Spitzer a complete failure, yet?

  • Nachi

    But Gawd, she’s utterly disgusting & repugnant. A twin of Nancy Grace. No manners, no culture, no dignity – nothing. Just a common Murcuhn hick/hillbilly. Yuk.
