Fox Network Denies The One

My God, an idiot is dumb enough to think you combine people watching the same thing on different networks to get a total who watched. Absolutely stupid. Are all the younger people in this country this damned dumb now?

Um..YES, they are!

If you click the link, it says 19 million people watched, so what it was spread across multiple networks........silly people.

Thank you for posting your opinion. To bad no one here gives a shit about it.

Uh, yup, pretty much ... kind of explains a few 'issues' we have in this country. Don't you think?

Well you would get a combined "viewership" - but the fact that some non-mainstream show beat out any given other is still indicative.

Do they still use Nielsen boxes, or is it estimates now?

Besides, I'd bet anything a sizable chunk of those "viewers" had the TV on and were pissed their "regular show" was pre-empted.

A similar thing happened during W's tenure as well, but I think it was NBC who didn't carry a presser. The point I take from all this is Chairman Zero doesn't have quite the adoring masses he once had (say in November) - a great many of his voters voted for him becuase it was "cool, hip, and fashionable". They've now moved back to reality TV or counting their toes.

The last time we participated in a Nielsen they sent a "diary" you had to fill out. That was about 8 years ago.

The novelty has officially worn off, at least among those watching Barack Obama’s prime-time press conferences not employed by the national media. Obama lost 21 million viewers from his first prime-time presser in February, according to James Hibberd, and it looks like Fox made the right call in sticking with its scheduled broadcast:

Wednesday night’s prime time press conference to mark Barack Obama’s 100th day in office was viewed by 28.8 million people, according to Nielsen.
That’s a 29% drop from the president’s last press conference, on March 24.

LOL....that's because they were all watching the FOX channel

No ... not ALL of 'they' ... I know that most of my neighborhood was out throwing a football up and down the street, while our children were riding bikes, flying kites, and playing soccer in my front lawn. You know, doing things that matter, and REALLY make a difference.

Embarrassing, but I could not even begin to tell you if the TV was on, let alone what channel it was showing.

PeeWee likes Lie to Me also WD. The first few episodes were interesting to me because they confirmed the studies that I had been reading about over the years. I have pretty much lost interest in Lie to Me but we watch the Mentalist too which is similar and I seem to like a little bit more.

Me and PeeWee like that kind of stuff. It is great entertainment.
