Well, we do not post this kind of information as often as we would like, but here are the ratings for cable news for June 29. They are fairly typical; O'Reilly is always on top, usually at 2,900,000 and FoxNews, as a collective, beats out the competition for the upteenth day-year in a row. Nancy Grace is never #2 but her coverage of the Casey Anthony trial has been substantial and the nation is most interested in this story. Sean Hannity, the Pleasant Partisan, continues to surprise all analysts. While Sean is a partisan conservative (good for him), his guests are often more liberal and present a balance that one would not expect. Shep Smith is rated much higher than the Burbon Boy deserves and Beck is the top spot for his time slot despite the fact that today, Thursday, is his last day with his program on FoxNews. The blowhard, Al Sharpton is where he deserves. Rachel Maddow is doing about as good as anyone could expect coming from someone who has no clue as relates to news broadcasting. Dr Who Drew ??? Again, it is the Casey Anthony trial that moved him up in the ratings.
