... On Sunday night HLN's prime time ratings were the worst they have been in....get this....22 years!

The 8PM block pulled in just 22,000 viewers and only 5,000 in the demo. Some would argue that you could pull better numbers than that with just color bars.

1. Hmmm, maybe they could, I dunno, try running some NEWS programs.

I'm getting this new news network just showing up on my AT&T cable called Fusion.net. It's a joint project of ABC News, Disney, and Univision and seems like a breath of fresh air after CNN, MSNBC, and Fox.

2. HLN is the national television network that focuses on the “must-see, must-share” stories of the day

(from: http://www.hlntv.com/hln-about-us )

Apparently they need a new definition of 'must'.

3. Nothing but Reruns on the Weekend

HLN gives new meaning to reruns. Some of the crimes shows, which are revisions of other old crime shows, have run too many times to count on HLN. The Nancy Grace crime shows are rehash of older shows. No wonder their viewership is so low.

4. HLN is nauseating

They were far better when they actually aired news, though they often drifted toward fluff and nonsense. Now it's just a bunch of Nancy Grace howling and finger-wagging. The only thing that would make me tune in is if they had someone on who spent an hour every night telling Nancy what a worthless piece of shit she is.

5. I can't stand any of the cable "news" channels, but this one is probably the worst.

Why anyone watches it is beyond me. Then again, I don't know how anyone can stomach Fox and MSNBC, with their hosts who are almost the Nancy Grace equivalents of political propagandists.
