FOX News biggest loser in 2008 election?

Did Bill O the clown ask for a federal investigation of the Nielsen ratings company due to the fact that MSNBC beat his show in the prime demographic during the election? I just wonder how they will react to the reality that republicans lost the White House, and they will no longer have a open door to the Oval office.

I've never seen any evidence that MSNBC ever beat Fox News in ratings. You have brought this up before and I've shown you proof on Nielsen's website that MSNBC didn't beat them in the ratings that week. I never heard O'Reilly say that so I don't know if you misheard him or if there was some context to it that you left out. The election ended back in November. McCain already lost. I don't know why you seem to think the election isn't over when you say "I wonder how they will react"

Taskr, I understand that, but explain to me why Bill O want's the investigation then? Bill O the clown was upset because of "wild swings" in the ratings, and claims that the Nielsen company is owned by liberals. This is Bill O's own words: "the bottom line is there may be some big-time cheating going on in the ratings system, and we hope the feds will investigate. Any fraud in the television rating system affects all Americans". That is from Bill O the clowns show on Oct. 25. Look it up Taskr, you will find it just like I did. Note: he never questioned the Nielsen system when he was on top, but now that this ratings are going down, we need to investigate. The reason I asked how they will react is because untill today they still have first choice access to the White House. As of today, they are not even in the top ten, and I am sure they will go through some withdrawl. I was just asking how much you think it will hurt their ego, and ratings?

FOX has been a media tool for the Bush administration, and the far right wing of the republican party. I am sure they will change because now they won't have any exclusive interviews with the president, or anyone important in the government. If you look at the shows on FOX, the only Propagandist they are missing is Rush.

Oh Red, if FOX is so fair and balanced, then show me one show that is hosted by a liberal? Many of the other networks that are considered to be bias have conservatives on their cable networks. Yet, the channel that claims to be fair and balanced, has only right wing conservatives has talk show host.

actually Fox is the only network that provided fair even debate. republican vs. democrat. the other news stations had democrats talking about how bad bush was. And I have no idea where you get the idea that Fox is a mouth piece for Bush. Almost everyone on there has gone out against Bush for one reason or another. Hannity thought he was too much of a centurist, O'reilly didn't like his lax stance on immigration. Course you would know these things if you had ever watched Fox news, instead of just listening to what the other networks told you about Fox news. Also Fox news was the first to congratulate Obama on becoming president elect, when the others were still saying it wasn't over yet. Oh and Fox news didn't get first hand coverage of George W's whitehouse. The far left CNN had first dibs on coverage. CNN is what plays on all the tv's there, and they are the first to know what is going on. They were the first news network into Afghanistan, and Iraq. Followed by Fox, and NBC. Nothing will change at Fox news. They'll still get their same place in the press rooms, and they'll continue to be the same balanced news network they have been , cause its made them the most trusted news network to everyone right,left, and middle who has actually watched it.

Is there more than one Fox News? Because the one I've seen certainly has no class and they sure as heck don't cover both sides of the story when it comes to politics, unless you mean the "right" (wing) side and the EXTREME right side...lol! Annie

Taskr, Alan Colmes is now gone, Geraldo is on once a week and from what I've seen of him lately he's definitely moved to the right and Bill O' the Clown drwons out anyone who disagrees with him and tries to make a$$es out of them. Annie

You're absolutely right Annie. It's those right wing extremists like Geraldo Rivera and Alan Colmes. They just refuse to let anyone here a voice from the left. Of course we all know that Bill O'Reilly NEVER has any liberals on his show. He never argues with anyone who disagrees with him either. It's just a show with a bunch of conservatives who agree on everything.
