Bush Viewing

Posted by: Laer at 09:03 pm

Here are the comparative viewership totals for Bush’s speech Tuesday night:

  • Fox News Channel: 3,410,000
  • CNN: 917,000
  • MSNBC: 316,000

Before you rush out thinking that polls on Bush popularity are obviously wrong given the public’s rejection of CNN and MSNBC, remember that there are still three networks lurking out there. And according to Drudge, here’s how they stacked up during the Bush speech:

  • CBS: 5,800,000
  • NBC: 5,300,000
  • ABC: 5,000,000

Five times more people saw the non-Fox reports than the Fox reports. Part can be explained by the fact that not all America gets cable, but that excuse is diminishing as cable and dish service continues to expand. I’m thinking either the networks are inflating their counts, or there’s 16,100,000 people over 80 in the country who still watch the channels they’ve always watched.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
