No Lite for Republicans on TV

PrimeTime Average:
1 Year Growth 2/05 Viewers 8/04 Viewers
Fox +18% 1,570,000 1,300,000
CNN -21% 637,000 787,000
MSNBC -14% ~250,000 274,000
CNBC -42%
Fox going up, everything else tanking. CableWorld has What they watch on Capital Hill, and it's what you'd expect, with this summary:What [The Hill's survey] finds is that Fox has galvanized their so-called opponents on the left to such a degree that having it on is a source of shame, while CNN hasn't angered the right to the same degree.Well, of course, because CNN, along with NBC and CBS, is becoming Fox-lite, hence more Republican. And as the above numbers show, why should Republicans get -lite when you can get the real thing? And who is going to offer the real Democratic thing?I've turned them all off, let their ratings sink even lower, and then a progressive can come in and buy the network out on the cheap, or just let the whole medium die on the vine as we get fatband here on the net and replace their obsolete ways.
Other media news, Bob Brigham, BlogPac.org's Executive Director was on Majority Report (btw, Majority Report should get online archives like Jerry's) with Sam Seder, which got really in-depth with the info that There Is No Crisis with Social Security has been working on, and then Jeanne Garofalo comes in when the Gannon/Guckert talk begins and lays down her prediction: "Karl Rove has had an affair with Jeff Gannon... Rove is his lover." Ha ha, that's her wrap-up.
Update: Air America' MR archives are here, looks like they come up a couple of days later.
