Glenn Beck's Friday Special is #1 For the Month

[RamboLiberal]

Glenn Beck's "We Surround Them, You Are Not Alone" 5pmET special, featuring a studio audience and viewing parties around the nation, was the top-rated show on cable news in the A25-54 demo last Friday, with 993,000 viewers. In fact it was the #1 show in that demo for the month of March. Beck was a close second to The O'Reilly Factor in Total Viewers, 3.07 million v. 3.19 million.

There were more viewers watching Beck's 5pm show than watched the entire prime time (8-11pm) lineups on CNN and MSNBC.

• In another ratings note, MSNBC topped CNN for the second consecutive week in the prime time demo. For March '09 so far, MSNBC is averaging 377,000

1. Sure are a lot of crazies out there. He's a real nutcase.

2. What's worse, Beck himself, or his audience? n/t

3. Hard to say. I would hope some are just tuning in for the laughs...

8. Audience. Definitely.

I think Beck is insane, but deep down he knows he's playing it up for ratings. The lemmings that swallow the shit up are the real problem.

10. I agree. One of his fans just responded to my Beck thread at TYT.com

Very dumb, very obnoxious, not unlike Beck himself.

4. More people watched Gossip Girl on CW

993,000 is nothing compared to the overall viewing public during that time slot.

5. Bullshit. For years I have believed that the ratings system is hocus pocus and I definitely

think it is now.

6. 993,000?!1 Not so much. n/t

[Dukkha]

7. 993,000 not working?

Considering that's 2pm Pacific time shouldn't they be at work? Oh that's right, their Beck's followers which means they're also privileged alcoholics cutting out early for a liquid lunch.

9. Beck's BATSH*T CRAZY

and so are his followers.

Did you happen to catch Shep Smith's comments on Beck's "extravaganza", for lack of a better descriptive.

11. I'll bet Shep got called on the carpet for a Roger Ailes tongue-lashing.

I have new respect for Shepard Smith - I've never seen such sarcasm from him!
