What is this - a slight increase in sanity levels across the US?
Somewhere, Keith Olbermann is sticking pins in a Bill O'Reilly voodoo doll: Fox News' ratings, TVNewser reports, are down since August of last year. Like, way down. Like down 28 percent in primetime among all viewers, down 20 percent in primetime in the "money demo" (viewers aged 25-54) and down 7 percent in daytime viewership overall. In fact, the only place Fox is up is during the day, when they managed a ratings increase of just 2 percent, and even then only in the money demo.
And lest you think this is an industry-wide trend, consider this: over the same time period, CNN and MSNBC are up. CNN's up 35 percent during the day -- 46 percent in the money demo -- and up 21 percent in primetime overall, 25 percent in the money demo. MSNBC's ratings increases aren't quite as impressive -- up 6 percent in primetime overall, 8 percent in the money demo, and up 36 percent in the money demo during the day, 26 percent overall.
We, of course, are Fair and Balanced here, so there won't be any celebrating later tonight. Certainly we will not be opening any champagne. That would be wrong.
Ha-ha! </Nelson>

sumi - I suspect because
the only one who has an idea how batshit crazy she is (namely Tommy) is also a couple of quarts low on the Quaker State (obligatory DL reference).
Rescue Me: It struck me last night
just when we realized that Sheila was about to dive into the deep end of the crazy pool again that even Tommy doesn't know how crazy she is, really - she got away with the roofie/viagra cocktail clean.
I saw an interview with Denis Leary somewhere that said that the show would be back next year, bt I don't remember where or how authoritative that would be. Sorry.
Because -- WHY was he BRITISH?!? It's so random!
I think that he's supposed to be Australian. Some marketing firm discovered that, for some reason, that accent made people buy things. That's why you see a lot of infomercials with an "Australian" spokesperson.

Crikey! Pass me a Fosters, mate.

I think people may be starting to realize that Bill is sort of a nutter.
