Darklogic112358 ::: Favorites Yes, very convenient. As I said, quantitively Bill O'Reilly IS beating KO. There is no debating that. What is up for debate is the intellectual capacity of the viewers he appeals to. And unfortunately no such studies like this have been conducted as of yet. 07-07-28 13:13:52 _____________________________________________________
Darklogic112358 ::: Favorites "Whatever you want to do to make KO look like he's not being beaten by BO in viewership." Your logic seems as infallible as Bill O's himself: if more people buy into it, then they must be right. Reminds me of when O'Reilly falsely slandered the intellectual capacity of John Stewart's viewers, calling them stoned slackers. A study released by the Annenberg Public Policy Center showed John Stewart's show to be one of the most intellectually charged, in spite of his inferior numbers to Bill'O. 07-07-28 13:17:12 _____________________________________________________

InvestigatorDave ::: Favorites By extension, (extension of your theory, for which there is no study to support) then we should probably bring back the good old days when one had to take a test in order to allowed to vote. That way only the "smart" ones would get to vote. Would that make you happy? 07-07-28 19:55:50 _____________________________________________________
Darklogic112358 ::: Favorites Wow. It's like you read my mind...I think Bill O' has a dumber constituency, therefore: I believe in persecuting those who are not intelligent, and taking away their constitutional right to vote. I applaud your ability to come to this conclusion, regardless of whatever skewed logic got you there. 07-07-28 21:02:23 _____________________________________________________
InvestigatorDave ::: Favorites Well, if we're not going to count the viewership of "dumb" people in the ratings, then why would we want to count their votes in elections? Perhaps you don't care for the analogy. Fine. I'll just await the study showing that KO's viewers are more financially successful and more educated -- which by extension, would make them more "worthy" of being counted against BO's poor & dumb viewers. What would be the appropriate ratio to give you the desired outcome? 2:1? 3:1? 07-07-29 12:26:02 _____________________________________________________

Darklogic112358 ::: Favorites Lol. Still a competition over the number of viewers? I'm passed that. Bill O' gets more viewers, thus has a larger and more successful show. But the intelligence of the viewers he appeals to is directly related to the crap that spews out of his mouth. This isn't a matter of converting intelligence into a quantity, its merely a truth about the quality of either show, and the viewers that consequently watch it. 07-07-29 18:02:31 _____________________________________________________
InvestigatorDave ::: Favorites "This isn't a matter of converting intelligence into a quantity, its merely a truth about the quality of either show, and the viewers that consequently watch it." Or it would be . . . if there were any data to support such a theory. 07-07-30 07:37:37 _____________________________________________________
Darklogic112358 ::: Favorites Yes, what a disappointment. No data. I'd bet on the outcome if such data was gathered, as I'm sure you would also, though until then anything is mere speculation. 07-07-30 08:09:47 _____________________________________________________
joshsirjoshules ::: Favorites My God, how does this man have a job? Anyone else would've gotten pulled off the air after making such a comment. Bill Mahr got his show pulled after calling the terrorists "courageous," Don Imus gets his show pulled after calling that basketball team a bunch of "nappy headed hoes." Those were all instances in which it was just the one comment, yet Bill spits them out on a daily basis. How does he still have a job? 07-08-18 02:40:17 _____________________________________________________
