Another strong factor for O'Reilly

TV Newser has reported the latest Cable News Ratings for Halloween night, and it seems that everybody's favourite right wing ghoul, Bill O'Reilly had a real treat that night. Over 2.9 million viewers tuned into his show in total at 8pm ET. That is an incredibly strong number, one of O'Reilly's best ever ratings.

Hannity and Colmes managed to hold onto just over 2 million of those viewers at 9pm, which again is incredibly good. Overall in Prime Time, Fox News Channel managed to register an impressive 2.125 million viewers, which again is very impressive.

Fox News Channel will never be my first choice for news and information, but unlike some on the left, I will never completely dismiss it out of hand either. Like any news source, especially newspapers, you have to learn what is fact and what is spin and propoganda. Fox News is very much the newspaper of the airwaves, with a distinct agenda and bias, one which can also be found in the New York Post or the Sun in the UK and Ireland. Learn to "read" and "decipher" that agenda, and you can understand what is truly important news and what is just editorialising.
