Republican Truth Burning Party bombs in the Nielson ratings

[Bill USA]

I tried to avoid it, but in channel surfing I did see a bit of it. Shocking display of ignorance and self-delusion... people fleeing reality. The party that brought us the Trickle Down Deregulation disaster refuses to see reality and is fully prepared to do it all over again! If I didn't know better I would think it was some really baaaaad B movie - with really baaaad, corn-ball B movie acting.

NEW YORK — The first night of the Republican National Convention drew an estimated 22.3 million television viewers, the vast majority over age 55.

The Nielsen ratings company said Wednesday that the audience, spread over nine TV networks, was down from the 23.1 million who watched the first full night of the 2008 convention, which nominated John McCain to run for president against eventual winner Barack Obama. Seven networks showed the 2008 convention, with CNBC and Current TV the newcomers this year.

The Nielsen Co. said that nearly 15 million viewers Tuesday night were age 55 or over. Meanwhile, the total of viewers aged 18 to 34 was only 1.5 million on the nine networks.

Fox News Channel, with 6.9 million viewers, beat all the other networks during the 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. EDT hour when they all competed. Fox also beat the three big broadcasters during the Republican conventions in 2004 and 2008.

1. Lets hope the ratings are better for the dems.

2. yes, but the party out of power is expected to be more motivated while the party in-power can be

expected to be less 'fired-up' (not that Dems should be given the ignorance of the Repugnants).
