re: #426 Dark_Falcon

Perhaps Fox gave money to keep the Dems from being too hostile. I don’t know why Fox gave as they did.

The O’Reilly Factor is Fox’s top rated show, not Glenn Beck’s program. Beck has a large and loyal following, but his early timeslot means he doesn’t have O’Reilly’s viewership.

First off, if you don’t know what Fox wanted from the Dems, then why bring it up as if the Dems let them down?

Second, Beck is just O’Reilly (and Hannity) with a little more Jesus and crying thrown in. As for ratings, it’s not so simple. Beck wins the highly coveted 25-54 demo at least some of the time. Admittedly that’s probably Fox’s smallest overall demo, as their major appeal seems to be to people who think O’Reilly is a youngster.
