February Ratings: FNC Beats CNN and MSNBC Combined in Total Viewers – mediabistro.com: TVNewser

February 24, 2009

Proving that real news, not p[ropaganbda is what people want. Good and bad, but the truth will do.

Fox News was the ratings leader during prime time and total day during February 2009 — its 86th month on top. FNC averaged more Total Viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined in prime time and total day.

FNC had nine out of the top 10 programs in cable news last month in Total Viewers. The O’Reilly Factor was #1 for the 99th consecutive month, and was up 33% in Total Viewers compared to February 2008. The other top programs included Hannity (up 38%), Glenn Beck (the 5pmET hour was up 100%), The FOX Report with Shepard Smith (up 30%) and On the Record with Greta Van Susteren (up 24%).

No better definition exists of the Acting President Obama …

NASA’s Global Warming Observatory Is Lost in Space

February 24, 2009

It’s really too bad the launch failed, this could have advanced the cause of real science. Like other observatories, which fail to verify the “blanket of CO2 that engulf the Earth that the GCMs predict, this could have driven more nails into the coffin of lies.

An orbiting “global warming” observatory launched into space Tuesday morning failed to reach its intended orbit, NASA announced.

Several minutes after the Taurus rocket carrying the observatory blasted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, launch managers found that the payload failed to separate.

The orbiting carbon dioxide observatory is lost.

This was intended to be the first spacecraft dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide – “the principal human-produced driver of climate change,” NASA says on its Web site.

According to NASA, the observatory was supposed to provide the “the first complete picture of human and natural carbon dioxide sources as well as their ‘sinks,’ the places where carbon dioxide is pulled out of the atmosphere and stored.”

Combined with data from ground stations and other sources, the observatory would have helped answer questions about atmospheric carbon dioxide and its role in Earth’s climate and carbon cycle.

Green U-Turn on Nuclear Power

February 24, 2009

The one-time opponents of nuclear power, who include the former head of Greenpeace, have told The Independent that they have now changed their minds over atomic energy because of the urgent need to curb emissions of carbon dioxide.

The Indpendent: ‘Nuclear power? Yes please…’

Spending What Obama Says He Will Save

February 24, 2009

A comedy routine, right? Maybe Obama’s rewriting of St Augustine’s “O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet”:

President Barack Obama pledged on Monday to dramatically slash the skyrocketing annual budget deficit as he started to dole out the record $787 billion economic stimulus package he signed last week.

Surely the best way to get out of debt involves not getting deeper into it.

Brace For Impact

February 24, 2009

With Acting President Obama and Democrats at the helm, the economy is crashing. I it took only months, not years.

Brace yourself: The recession is projected to worsen this year.

The country stands to lose a sizable chunk of economic activity in 2009 as consumers at home and abroad retrench in the face of persistent economic troubles.

And the U.S. unemployment rate—now at 7.6 percent, the highest in more than 16 years—is expected hit a peak of 9 percent this year.

That gloomy outlook came from leading forecasters in the latest survey by the National Association for Business Economics to be released Monday.

The new estimates are roughly in line with other recent projections, including those released last week by the Federal Reserve.

And you thought reparations would be debated. With Obama, life is just an act.
