Any surprises there? I – for one – am surprised that Greta and Shep are beating Brit… it’s good to see Hannity/Colmes beating Hardball 4:1 though.
Worth noting: O’Reilly is an independent traditionalist, Hannity/Colmes is a balanced right/left show, Greta is known to be liberal, Brit Hume is conservative… Shep Smith I don’t know about. But hardly the right-wing Bush-propogandist network that some would have you think.
Though I was sad to see my favorite show, Your World with Neil Cavuto, is not on that list. I s’pose business news isn’t as popular as political pundits.
