^^ your right, let the numbers speak for themselves
never said he invented the intertube. You just can't handle the troof.
Surprise, surprise Faux News lies! Their trying to deflect from the fact that people are waking up and realizing that Fox is full of shit. John Stewart does a great job of spanking their ass and revealing their hypocrisy and double standards.
..about everything else, why should now be any different?
It's not just Fox. Read the full article. The media is lazy and complicit in all of the misinformation that is repeated daily everywhere.

What? It isn't. Or wasn't. No way. I totally believed it. I mean, I actually switched over to it for like a second. I figured I was like, part of the spike you know, like when you accidentally click a link to a *bad* site and think, oh noes, I gave a click, to, to, the dark side. Edit, Recall Click, oh despair, it's not there. But it was all over the other channels, I swear. Do they get a ratings spike for covering someone else's ratings spike, even if there's no spike? That's some inbred business right there. Like, a tree fell in the forest, but it didn't, but since no one was there, then they made an animation, with some fake sound, of a tree falling, and then everyone tuned in to see the conjuration, but then again they didn't, but the commotion made everyone else cover the coverage of the phantasm, while somewhere a tree felt left out. Wow, that made me dizzy.
A fox news producer said, "If the news isn't printed, heard or seen, is it news?" or something to that affect.
BEWARE OF THE LIBERTARIAN, FAR-RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY-THEORY WEBSITES. THEY ARE RIGHT-WING GATEKEEPERS, AGENTS OF DINSIFORMATION.
MICHAEL RIVERO AND ALEX JONES ARE FUNDED BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND BY CAPITALISTS TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN LEFT MARXIST MOVEMENTS !!
THE LIBERTARIAN, ULTRA-RIGHT WING, PALEOCONSERVATIVE, WHITE-NATIONALIST NEWS SITES SUCH AS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED BY MICHAEL RIVERO, ******** BY ALEX JONES AND RENSE OF JEFF RENSE, ARE FUNDED BY CAPITALISTS
libertarian, ultra-right wing, conspiracy-theorie websites like Alex Jones's website: http://www.********.com/ Jeff Rense's site: http://www.rense.com/ Michael Rivero's page http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ are white-nationalist, capitalist, pro-fascism, pro-capitalism and many other conspiracy-theory websites are agents of disinformation with the goal of destroying the USA left.
As a proof that Alex Jones, Michael Rivero and Jeff Rense are funded by The Republican Party and by oligarchc-capitalists. Look what fans of Alex Jones said in one of his news sites, comments section:

Der, I like Glenn Beck, he works for the only media outlet I trust-Fox News. I love republicans, and Beck does a lot to help the Republican party. Arabs make me piss my pants in fear, so I love when Beck fear mongers about them. I think that patriotism means blindly supporting our politicians(especially the republican ones) and waving a flag. Thats the extent of it for me.

I live in a condo, and I passed out copies of “Obongo Deception’ to my neighbors. Most of them were already interested in our Horrible situation thanks to Fox News. Glenn softened them up and made them receptive to watch the videos.

Glenn Beck discusses and gives time and light to more subjects that other ‘commentators’ will not. I dont think he is as far off the reservation as most anti semetic conspiracy theorists would like….but he does a far better job of talking about and defending the constituion, liberty and proper government behavior than wolf blitzer, bill oreilly, sean hannity, ann coulter, keith olbermann (please), all of cnn (except perhaps lou dobbs from time to time) , all of msnbc………really just about any mainstream media figure. I like him. I agree he needs less caffine however. Direct your anger at Kieth olbermann, maddow, and all the other far left liberal yo yo’s . This message is from a defender of the 10th ammendment…article 1 sec 8 of the constition and the document itself.

Fox is a bane on society and their disingenuous actions fit well with their followers. Their exaggerations, like a big-fish story, poisons all whom choose to embrace their rhetoric.
Their boisterous exaggeration of facts can only be believed by "fact(s) challenged" individuals whom primarily believe the earth is roughly 6,000 years old.
Similar over exaggerations... "FBI says Saddam's weapons bluff aimed at Iran"
FOX's Glenn Beck Overestimating Washington D.C. Crowd
When You Challenge These Bullies, They Crumple Like a Yugo
The BS just doesn't cut it any longer, not like it use to.
Oh spike, what has happened to you...

fox does not deal in facts. They deal in lies and stupidity.
They along with the republican party have almost destroyed America. The constant lies and deception and the people that watch are so ignorant that I doubt a one of them could tell the truth from a lie.
When ever anyone says anything about fox I will always thell them that fox is a pile of steamy shit!
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness that is killing America!
everybody's watching so you probably should too.
i don't care how many people watch, it's never going to be me.
Damn, I guess I'll just never be able to trust anything they say ever again. (/snark).
"Fox News caught lying. Story at 11... and 5... and 6... and in a bonus O'Reilley op-ed."
call dull tack a needle sharp 20penny spike.
Yeah and did anyone expect any less from them?
as a result of this post.
First of all, to begin with the claim that FOX is news is absoltely false.
And for the claim their ratings spiked due to criticism from the White House?
Who the hell cares... only a moron, er ah MORMON like Beck would take anything FOX claims as gospel. The magic underwear crowd will believe anything.
Why all the hey over the Make believe, Anti American fox NOISE.
DUH! we already know that they are Anti American, delve in FICTION, LIES, HALF TRUTHS, MISDIRECTION and FANTASY.
I do not watch any NEWS , (I am sorry the CLOWNS at MSM want it called entertainment) on any of the American stations. They DO NOT know what NEWS is.
Case and point the fictitious ratings of the Anti American Noise Nit Wit Station, being put up against Block head CNN (Entertainment), hahahaha!
What a bunch of Idiots, Oh! how do these numbers affect REAL NEWS?
You can make a graph mean anything by determining the scale. The broader the view the more informative the data becomes. Even two weeks is relatively meaningless since it might be an anomaly over a year which might show a different pattern. It's like saying Monday was cooler than Tuesday so the trend is that the seas will boil by Christmas.

All Americans know that Faux Noise is a laughable comedy station with lunatic players.
