President Obama might have fulfilled his promise of “Change I can believe in^“TM.  Those who voted for him however probably are not going to be all that pleased.

“TV by the Numbers” reports that Fox News’ Glenn Beck has received over 3 million views (just behind Bill O’Reilly).  For those unfamiliar with TV ratings, this is quite a feet.  For comparison, here are the Live and Same Day cable news daily ratings for August 26, 2009

Does this prove that passionate Conservatism works and is what the country wants? Who knows?!  But I would guess that advertising execs all over the Country are probably kicking themselves right now, and feeling very insecure about their jobs.  Maybe next time they wont allow themselves to be coerced by extremist political hacks.

From “TV by the Numbers”:

Last night Glenn Beck had over 3 million viewers at 5pm, second only to O’Reilly for the night.  But, Beck had more 25-54 viewers than O’Reilly (888K to 876K).  I don’t watch or really even care about the cable news wars, but still…wow. Even though Beck airs before primetime,  when there are fewer people watching TV, he had the most 25-54 viewers in the cable news world for the night.

And just to really infuriate all the Fox News haters out there, here are the total views for cable news stations:

P2+ Total Day
FNC – 1,374,000 viewers
CNN – 711,000 viewers
MSNBC –506,000 viewers
CNBC – 217,000 viewers
HLN – 300,000 viewers

Kennedy Coverage Pulls Low Audience On Nets.  I guess that is what you should expect when you overplay your hand and the people start to believe that the MSM is exploiting the death of Senator Edward Kennedy to promote President Obama’s flagging attempt to overhaul the US healthcare system.
