It Pays To Be In The GOP's Pockets
Filed under: TV News > Politik > John McCain > Sarah Palin
No surprise!
Fox News was the first to break the Sarah Palin nomination news, at 10:35 a.m. ET last Friday.
Well after 'breaking' the news, the right-leaning cable news net went on to kick the asses of its peers later in the day.
According to Nielsen, Fox News averaged an impressive 3.8 million viewers in the noon ET hour.
It was reportedly the highest ratings of the day, ahead of CNN's 1.9 million and MSNBC's 927,000.
We wonder how many of Fox's viewers were of the Left curious to hear how the Right was taking the Palin thing in.

That was the only reason i watched.
…f u
uughhhh
I'm a Republican and I watch other news sources than Fox News!! It makes my political stance well rounded!!
Fuck the extreme rights, they are a bunch of closed minded inbred fucks.
ughhhhhhhhh why did you have to post a pic of bill o'fucktard ? HATESHIM
Fox is sometimes a joke but sometimes they are cool because it's a joke.
Re: Vanessa-Houston Tx. – awwwww i love your avatar….. how cute !!!!!!!!
WHO OWNS FOX?
Oh, come on now . . no one NORMAL watches this sexual harrassing loser !!
CNN
Umm sorry to burst your bubble but FNC is #1 for a reason. MSNBC SUCKS. OLBERMAN needs to be taken out!
Fox is owned by Fox Entertainment Group, part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.
Foxnews=vomit
CNN,COMMIE NEWS NETWORK!
We all know the GOP has Fox in their pocket! That is why EVERYONE needs to hear the issues that each party is dedicated to and how they will help americans. DO NOT vote for one party because your momma does, use your brain and make the right vote. Fox News is baised and pushes coverage of the GOP and maybe other news organizations do the same so listen but make up your own minds!!! Use the brains God gave you people.
the fair and balanced network? Yeah, right.
thats because fox news is fair and balanced…
unlike the other news stations!!!!
I cant wait to see this man make Obama squirm tonight. Rip him a new one Bill!
p.s. I hate your political views Perez, but youve got people talking…and thats always a good thing. I respect you for that. Stop calling children sluts and whores though…totally uncalled for! What little credibility you do have goes right out the window when you say shit like that. Still love you and your site though…always bringing me the lol's!
McCain/Palin '08
Well, she convinced me. What a woman, what a intelligent, caring VP she'll be. Her speech has me jumping on the ceiling and I wasn't sure a woman could do this. Damn was I wrong. Go Sarah go with your bright mind, knowledge of what this country really needs, your caring for all kids with special needs…now Autism Speaks will be heard…Your family is beautiful.What a good baby, he never cried with all the cheering for you.Gotta give it to you, you rocked the house. My vote is a given.. m.ct.
I loved Bill O'Reilly when he was on Current Affair. How he got a job doing "serious" journalism, I will never know….
I'm not shocked about this at all, Fox has been blowing the other news channels away for a long long time now,,,
I saw this in TIME magazine (I think) if not Time ,,then it was some other news-mag,,
my point is,, CNN and MSNBC have been getting really bad viewership numbers for some time now,, several years I do believe,, but FOX news channel has been the winner in ratings,,
again,, not shocked by Mr. Hilton's announcement here,, I think he is being a political drama queen again,,
hehehe
Damn I can't wait until December,, when we do not have to be tortured by political commercials and internet/politics
I'm dreaming of a political-free Christmas,,,, la la la la la la la la ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Re: C- –
CRAP! Sorry…
I meant Bill O'Reilly hosted Inside Edition! I get the names of all those tabloid shows mixed up.
Perez,
I think it's funny that EVEN YOU were unimpressed by Obama. I quote you as saying:
"We were initially swayed by the promise of change and the inspiring messages of Barack Obama. But that's not enough!"
But you obviously vote based by party alone. They (the Dems) could put a Ronald McDonald/Grimmace ticket up and you'd support it. Well you know what? I'm a Democrat… and I agree with you Perez… Obamas words are not enough. I'm voting McCain/Palin in '08!
She was the only reason I watched. She did great. I am so glad she did not bring up daughters pregnancy as it has NOTHING to do with the campaign.
Re: Nakie – Exactly!! Its good to watch both Fox news and CNN you geth both sides of the facts!
before they run theyre show, they should inform the people "fox news is a biased right wing news broadcast. " we need our news to be fair and unbiased. fuck fox news and all the rich pieces of shit that watch it
The republican party are so much more entertaining than the pussies in the democratic party. I LOVE CORRUPTION!
Perez,
I am a staunch Democrat and I do watch FOX, I admit it!!! I watch it because I like to hear the ridiculous things they say, I also watch MSNBC, I love Chris Matthews. FOX is ENTERTAINMENT for us, not NEWS.
On another note, I have much respect for you Perez, like you said, this is your site, you can say whatever you want, I support you!!! You get at least 30 visits from me a day!!! LOL.
Love Ya.
watching msnbc was much more entertaining this morning……..mitchel, mathews, olberman……………..palin has left them all uncontrollably speechless. They are literally fighting to catch their breath. I've never seen them more unsure of their words, and how to move forward from here. It's really quite a spectacle to watch unfold.
so WHY in the HELL does your retatarded ASS refer to FOX NEWS as the RIGHT-LEANING news station but when you talk about ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the other IDIOTIC, STUPID LIBERAL stations you've never ONCE called them
.
.
.
.
the SEVERLY LEFT AND BIASED NEWS STATION SO-AND-SO?
.
.
.
.
.
IDIOT
I just ate breakfast had to come across O'Reilly's ugly puss. Speaking of sexist pigs…
CNN — Parent Company: Time Warner, Inc. (formerly AOL Time Warner, Inc)
If you want to know who owns what re most media, google "crocuta net, who owns whom - I can't put actual link in this msg.
FOX is fair and balanced….the other news outlets are have such a left leaning bias that when FOX is compared to the it just seems they are right wing. FOX actually does ligitimate broadcast journalism that calls both sides out when they see injustices.
i was one of the left watching just to see how they were taking it! i am sure there were MANY others.
If Fox is SO bad why is Obama being interviewed by O'Reilly tonight???? Seems a few of you missed that… If people who watch are a stupid as you all say (doubt it) then why would B.O. be talking with Fox… Ummmm, that would be because he is scared to death of Sarah Palin and after all his disses he must now deal with Fox News.
If you listen to that moron Olberman, you deserve whatever you get, he is a rabid pig.
McCain is O'Reilly's daddy.
hopefully they wont "break" the news saying states that are undecided go to the republicunts before the votes are counted like they did in 2000. …ya right, wishful thinking right there.
Even better will be tonight when Barack is on Bill O'Reilly! How do you think fox's rating will be then? Barack has never been really thrown off his game, never been vetted and never asked the tough questions without having prepared answers first. That is, until tonight. Can't wait. If Barack pulls this off, I'll be amazed.
Oh come on people!!! You don't think the other networks are biased, please!
Re: JenniFooFoo – Oh yeah and you don't sound closed minded!
Re: torrrieB – AMEN on your sig!!!
Re: JenniFooFoo – YOU ARE A COMPLETE PSYCHO…. YOU ARE PROBABLY THE MOST MOST MOST MOST MOST CLOSEMINDED PSYCHO OUT THERE. GO SHOOT YOURSELF WITH SARAH PALIN'S GUN.

BA HA HA
I've never understood this hatred towards Fox News. MSNBC leans far left. CNN leans left. What's the big deal that Fox leans right? Doesn't the other side have a right to have its voice heard? Judging by Fox News' ratings they're obviously doing something right.
Re: honey97431 –
Hell yeah they're biased! CNN was horrible to Hillary, and Fox is Republican Television Network.
Half of the Fox News viewers are registered democrats…Look it up.
I love it, you bash fox, but never say anything about CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC and all of the other stations that suck the teet of this rookie politician that could end up being President. Whatever happens Pallin gave an inspired speech last night. She did not stumble or fumble for words. She put it all out there like a true pro. I am a republican, and I was worried that McCain is too old, but I am not worried anymore. This lady has her act together.
Obama IS 50% Arab, dad is Arab. Do your research, and read up on the " end of days ". Arab….celebrity…….sound familiar? The left will be the death of us all.
Re: Frag The Paps –
NAZI FREAK!
I love O'Reilly and Fox News!!!! All other news channels are full of crap!! Fox news is the only place that actually shows the news without being skewed!!! McCain Palin!!!
douche bag
WOOHOOOOOOO
FAIR & BALANCED, UNLIKE MSNBC!
GET THE FACTS PEREZ!!!!! FOX NEWS has been rated the MOST FAIR AND BALANCED NEWS for years!!! That means they report facts not opinions!!!! MSNBC was slammed by the Sec. of the Press for their clearly bias reporting of the Obama campaign. MSNBC is an embarrassment to news!!!!
And this is new news? NOT…they have been the highest rated for a long time!! They actually report the facts, actually investigate prior to giving interviews and ignore conspiracey theories. Democrats hate Fox news primarily because they have been reporting news from BOTH parties….and the republicans just happen to be outshinging them. MSNBC and CNN have done a horrible job, so far this election. They have been so biased and one sided in reporting and interviews….it is like going to one of those Obama Cult Rallies. SICKENING!!
Fox NEWS has the sexiest women.
I love my Fox Babes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, Fox is the most fair and balanced channel out now. The only one (maybe CNN also, but that damn Jack Cafferty is obviously anti-GOP) to not be in the tank for Obama.
Compared to MSNBC and CNN, Fox News IS the MOST fair and balanced. If you've ever watched Fox, you'd see that they always have both sides represented. So excited to see Barack Hussein Obama get ripped a new one by Bill tonight!!!
Could the better rating for Fox reflect etter coverage opined Presumptive Media Consultant Barack obama. It that Trth According To Tom on your PC?
Perez, you really don't care about being fair and giving equal coverage. You give bad coverage to republicans and good to democrats. Whatever.
Just wanted to mention that I'm a republican who happens to support gay marriage. It doesn't make sense, I know…but nothing is black and white. Keep that in mind before you bash republicans. There are quite a few people out there who are fiscally conservative, morally liberal and are sick of paying out the ass for everyone else.
FUCH YOU DEVIL O'REILLY. YOU ARE THE SECOND HIGHEST AMERICAN SCUMBAG, RIGHT BEHIND THE QUEEN OF ALL SCUMBAGS, PEREZHILTON.

P.S. BILL O'REILLY'S WIFE, MAUREEN, PREVIOUSLY DATED FLAVOR FLAV, AND TED KENNEDY. LOL. HEY BILLY, HOW DOES FLAVOR FLAV TASTE ANYWAY?

Bill O'Reilly is a fucking maniacal bully…fox = facist
