tis, popularity is no measure of veracity, as you know .. Prof. Bart Ehrman gives evidence to that very well .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=95564088 .. offered here for no other reason other than a comment on the ratings of your post .. that said, that video and one in reply are almost must sees for all .. there are very good reasons for believers or not to watch them .. one thing i appreciate more now is why people of Medieval times had much better reason to appreciate the book than people of today have .. the huge majority then believed it basically only for the the spiritual growth of the stories it offered .. they didn't care whether it had any historical truth or not .. whereas so many people today, do it for the same reason though with much less legitimacy .. lol, some even want to change it for political reasons .. guess you know which book i'm talking about by now .. lol .. anyway, seriously Prof. Bart Ehrman discusses it all very well .. h/t F6 ..
I guess really smart people don't watch FOX. lololol
'Jeopardy' Contestants Have No Idea Who Megyn Kelly Is (VIDEO)
The Fox News host played a clip from the game show on Monday night's "The Kelly File," in which she was the answer to a question worth $800.
"'File' this blonde anchor and lawyer under Fox News where she hosts a show weekdays from 9 to 10 p.m," host Alex Trebek asked.
Only one contestant ventured a guess: "Who is Nancy Grace?"
"Don't be fooled! Everyone knows me," Kelly laughed. "There's always something to keep your ego in check. At first you're like 'I'm on Jeopardy! this is … oh, nobody, not a soul, never heard of her.'"
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell All Beat Fox News
MSNBC’s coverage of the Chris Christie scandal has powered Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell all to wins over Fox News with younger viewers age 25-54.
According to TVNewser, Monday was a very good night for MSNBC, “It was also a good night for MSNBC, which continued its coverage of the Chris Christie scandal throughout primetime. The network won in the demo at 7pmET, 9pmET and 10pmET. “Hardball with Chris Matthews” beat “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” by +31,000 A25-54 viewers. Rachel Maddow’s program beat Megyn Kelly’s by +100,000 demo viewers, and “The Last Word” beat “Hannity” by +82,000.”
The only time slot that Fox won was at 8 PM, where Bill O’Reilly saw his audience swell to nearly double its normal size, because he was airing part two of his interview with President Obama. Fox News’ struggles to draw younger viewers have been well documented, but the cable news leader almost lost an entire night to MSNBC. If it wasn’t for Barack Obama, Fox might have been totally screwed.
MSNBC has been riding a wave of great ratings with younger viewers, while Fox has struggled because the Chris Christie scandal remains the story that shall not be discussed on the cable news leader. Everything that Fox News has tried to attract younger viewers has completely failed. Megyn Kelly isn’t bringing in the younger viewers, and in fact she has been on the losing end often during her battle for the coveted 25-54 demo with Rachel Maddow.
Fox News continues to have the oldest audience on television, which never bodes well for any television network in the long term. For now, Fox and their viewers can take comfort in the fact that they are the top rated cable news network by a huge margin. The problem is that there are demographic storm clouds on the horizon.
If MSNBC can beat Fox among younger viewers, the possibility is there for the Lean Forward network to eventually take over the top spot in terms of total viewers. Before Fox News came along, nobody thought that CNN’s empire could fall. Fox is in a good position for years to come, but they have serious problems. If they don’t fix these issues soon, Fox may join CNN in the dust heap of former cable news powers. http://www.politicususa.com/2014/02/04/msnbcs-chris-matthews-rachel-maddow-lawrence-odonnell-beat-fox-news.html
