ratings
» 35 comments

Cable news ratings, August 20, 2010: Check out the highlights, and see the full ratings below:

• Want to know why MSNBC puts their doc block on Friday nights? Because they get great ratings. The 11pmET doc (it was an old Lock Up but does it really matter?) was the top-rated program in the hour in the A25-54 demographic, even topping Bill O’Reilly‘s repeat.

Glenn Beck had the #1 show on all of cable in the demo – O’Reilly was #1 in total viewers.

    Congratulations to Prince ALaweed and the non American murdoch you have done and incredible job of getting these right wing fools under your thumb, they have been good little germans for you, they say what you want them to say and do what you want them to do they also adore you, Apparently no one does propagana better than you two

    It was because the O’Reilly show was a “best of” show that no one wants to watch. I turned to it on Friday at 8 PM and was like “Screw watching this; I want commentary on the news of the day.”

  • Iris

    Shame on you william you should have watched anyway, its FOX NEWS FOR GODS SAKE!

  • notsofast

    LOL

    You left out that O’Reilly’s “repeat” beat MSNBC by more than 2x with all viewers!!

    Bawahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • axel360

    There was also preseason football that night so that also took some viewers away. That should have been mentioned. Not surprised it wasn’t.

  • Iris

    Like i said the Saudi prince and murdoch are geniuses, Everyone can see how much the right wing loves them

  • Iris

    Ax, football is no excuse not to watch the FOX NEWS, the Prince and the austrailian murdoch would not approve, well unless you meant soccer when you said football

    True- It was a ‘best” of show.

    Next time, Steve will report that MSNBC beat an O”Reilly repeat in the 25-54 demographic with those having one green eye and one blue eye and two uneven legs living in Muscle Shoals , Al in brick mobile homes.

    You would figure that the all knowing, highly educated, we are so much smarter then you left wing proletarian like Iris, Crangle and the rest of the slugs at CNN MSNBC or HLN would, out of the whole broadcast day be able to put together ONE SHOW! ONE HOUR! that would beat FNC in the ratings.

    All we hear from Iris and her group is how we are no intellectual match for them.

    Well instead coming on here and being itsy bitsy babies and making all sorts of whiny, pouty, excuses, like losers always do. Why don’t they put together ONE SHOW, ONE HOUR that will beat FNC in the ratings?

    I can’t see why, with their superior minds they can’t do this. So are they really who they say they are or are they just like this guy?

  • Iris

    Why can’t you right wingers just accept that your beloved Prince Alaweed and the non American murdoch are the best! They have you all in the palm of their hands, you love them nobody does propaganda like they do, look at you all if the fox news says it you beleive it, no questions asked, , like i said they are the best, congrats!

  • writer

    That’s okay, Iris. If we live as long as you have, we’ll probably be cranky all the time, too.

  • BatBoy

    Come on everbody…lets party…MSNBC is “Dancing in the Streets!”

    The vid just came in……http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdvITn5cAVc

  • Iris

    Im giving the Saudi Prince and you, one of his minions congratulations, way to go, You’re putting money in the Saudis pocket, great ratings! whats cranky about that.

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    The headline should have been, Beck beats entire Fox lineup.

  • writer

    So Iris, if a Saudi is influencing Fox, that’s why Fox has been backing the building of the NYC mosque?

  • Iris

    Not influencing, OWNS and the dear Prince Alaweed is a financial backer of Park51 but why question his motives he and the non American murdoch feed you the fox news divisiveness so why question your beloved Saudi you love them and hate America n businesses, we get it

  • writer

    Iris, you’ve won me over. All those Arabs should go to hell. Especially the ones wanting to build the NYC mosque.

  • Iris

    You think the owner of the fox news shoulkd go to hell!!?? but i guess you still adore the Saudi Prince Alaweed for providing you the fox news channel and you will continue to beleive everything they say without question and give the Saudi Prince his great ratings and more and more money so he can continue to financially back Park 51

  • lonestar77

    Maybe they should just have a monkey read a media matters transcript. Oh wait, they already do. It’s called the MSNBC primetime lineup.

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    Poor Iris, have you been nipping at the bottle again? You are the only loony toon talking some Saudi Prince that no one has ever heard of. You need to sober up. Put on your depends and go to bed.

  • Iris

    Gordonblows obviously as usual you’re the last to know your beloved fox news is muslim owned by Saudi Prince Alaweed and of course you are contributing to the Saudi wealth by increasing their ratings and now the Prince can give even more to the Park51 mosque and you are now be a supporter of the mosque since you have made it all possible CONGRATS!

  • Ninja

    8 out of 22 posts on this story are Iris mentioning a saudi prince involved with fox news. Why so much hate for one particular race of people Iris? Dare I say you are a racist? I dare.

  • Iris

    Hi Nin, Just want to make sure you right wingers know what you’re so proud of supporting, You sure do love the Saudi Prince and Im sure he thanks you for your support, I even bet he would let you who love the fox go to the mosque when its finished to see what your great support built CONGRATS!

  • Iris

    PS nin its OWNS not involved, odd how no one seems to be able to say that

  • Ninja

    Why so worried about a person that has no decision making power? 7% is hardly anything in a publicly traded company. But that is beside the point, the point is you should really open up your mind and not let your Islamaphobia / Arabphobia overtake you like this. Sometimes it can be good for you to hear an opposing viewpoint, you just might learn something. If you did, you could post something here we could actually debate instead of regurgitating what you saw on media matters or the comedy network.

  • Iris

    2.7 BILLION is the 7 percent and of course that makes him second t the murdoch family and like i said I think its GREAT you support the Prince and by supporting the Prince you are supporting the building of the mosque see how nicely everything works for good

    I don’t really care if it is $2.7 Trillion it is still only 7% and zero board voting rights. I do think it is nice that you can show your extreme prejudice against all people of Arab descent and also have the huevos call someone a racist in other comment sections….Classic!

    So, I guess you do not believe that this group has the right to build a mosque do you? It’s a shame racist lefties like you want to take away the civil rights of particular groups that conservatives like Lincoln fought so hard for.

  • Zakk

    MSNBC – congrats! You did it! You beat a repeat of a ‘best of the week’ version of a FOX News program on a Friday night at 11pm, with a non-news program.

    MSNBC News programing = 2nd or 3rd ratings. (even in second they are still pretty far behind.)
    MSNBC Documenteries/Catch a Predator = the occasional win. (granted it’s on a weekend night, against a rerun)

    I find it crazy that Mediaite not only failed to realize the obvious reason why this happened but that this is somehow a top story for the top feed.

    Warning…….Iris is an escaped patient from the local mental facility. She needs her medication. If you see her call the police. She is 5’2″ tall, weighs 330#, green and orange hair and is wearing a red dress with clown shoes. She sometimes carries a sign that says “The World Ends Tomorrow”. There is also a white stain on her red dress next to her Clinton for President button.

  • http://none pyrope

    That 0′Reilly should be outdone one time in a repeat is an anomaly. What is truly notable here is, that over time, Mr. Beck’s ratings have continued to climb. Please note that Mr. Beck’s ratings not only beat but DOUBLED all others!
