A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

20Nov/090

It’s not even close for Fox News

Just in case you were wondering what the cable news ratings looked like at this point and time, here's the latest:

CABLE NEWS RACE
NOV. 18, 2009

FOXNEWS HANNITY/PALIN 4,200,000
FOXNEWS O'REILLY 3,868,000
FOXNEWS BECK 2,512,000
FOXNEWS GRETA 2,383,000
FOXNEWS BAIER 2,235,000
FOXNEWS SHEP 1,980,000
MSNBC OLBERMANN 1,041,000

CNNHN GRACE 1,036,000
MSNBC MADDOW 957,000
CNN KING 835,000
MSNBC HARDBALL 625,00
0
CNN COOPER 611,000
13624757

If you added up the viewers of all the networks not named Fox News Channel, it is 5.1 million.  Fox News = +17 million.

This is a blood-bath.  I realize that high ratings does not necessarily equate to a superior product, but in this case, up against Olbermann and Maddow, I like FNC's chances.

What is “Mere Conservatism”?

The basic ideas, ideals, and values that generally define and characterize the central tenets of what today might be termed "modern conservative thought."

We believe that a proper understanding of history, economics, and theology leads to certain conclusions. Many of these are the same conclusions our Founding Fathers arrived at in constructing a "more perfect union."

All ideas and opinions are welcome; not all are correct.
