From Media Bistro:
Bill O’Reilly’s “Most Ridiculous Item of the Day” related to ratings last night. He says: “The ratings for April are in, and here at ‘The Factor,’ we improved our total audience over April 2005. A nice achievement since the pope died last April, and there was huge interest in that story. We thank you all very much…
“But if you read some of the FOX hating print press, you’d never know how well we’re doing, actually, because the writers in the Los Angeles Times and Rocky Mountain News, among others, want to prop up our competition.”…
O’Reilly actually lost viewers at 8 p.m. compared to April 2005. He averaged 2,102,000 last month, compared to 2,178,000 for the same month last year. O’Reilly must be combining his 8 p.m. average with the repeats at 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.
O’Reilly’s ratings are tanking with everyone but the over-55 set.
