Midknight Review -- new and revised: Cable news by the numbers -- the conservatives have won this war.

Last time I was able to find any numbers at all for Current TV, Fat Al Gore's brain child, was averaging around -- and this is no mistake -- 18,000 viewers a day. Obermann (did I just misspell this moron's name?). He brought those numbers up to a whopping 50,000 per day, for the first week. His numbers have decrease substantially, sense. I tried to include Current/Olbermann in this report but could not find any "current" (pardon the pun) numbers. So, forget Current.

Last week's cable news ratings war is won by . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FoxNews. What is that - 40 or 50 years in a row ?? The total audience for primetime (before O'Reilly, Hannity, and Greta) is 2.1 million or more than CNN, MSNBC, CNBC AND HLN combined.

Fox Business News is struggling but gaining on CNBC. You should know that CNBC is a more conservative, objective reporting outlet than anything else coming from NBC/MSNBC news. It really is pretty good -- but very boring, and that is why FoxBusiness has a chance of increasing its share of the business audience. Understand that if you do not spend several hours a week digesting a good business news broadcast, you do not have the full context for what is happening in the world of politics. Lots of CEO's are progressives, but they are businessmen and pragmatists before they are ideologues. Clinton cut the corporate tax rate and the business community like what he did and responded. Obama has been playing the general population against the business community and they hate his brand of class warfare -- and "they" are bigger than Obama.

Primetime	P2+ (000s)	25-54 (000s)	35-64 (000s)
FNC	2,183	519	1,046
CNN	622	207	287
MSNBC	854	229	399
CNBC	217	72	125
FBN	128	32	81
HLN	686	178	298

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
