Bush Interview Dead Last In Ratings

[qanda]

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - On Monday night, the American public was apparently far more interested in new comedies and a blowout football game than their president's take on the state of the international effort to rebuild Iraq.

Data from Nielsen Media Research released Tuesday showed that a one-hour interview with President Bush on Fox came dead last in the hour among the six major broadcast television networks in both total viewers and audiences aged 18 to 49.

I don't know if this is good or bad. From what I've heard * was pretty awful! For me, it was the choice between Fear Factor and the Bush* Fear Factory, where fear is manufactured to keep the sheeple in line.

11. I watched it

but it took him so long to say anything cuz it was all ah ah ah ah uhmmmm ah and each sentenced he said the first couple words about three times like he didn't know what the heck to say. And it is painful to watch such an insipid ignorant man, much less one who has such a high opinion of himself. And Bret Hume kept giving him such lame compliments, like in one of the pictures of some cowboys, one of the cowboys looked like him or his daddy. Ohh ahhh. I too wish more people had watched it. If he wasn't such a danger to our world I would almost feel sorry for him.

13. W Is a Defective Product!!!!

Nobody wants to watch him drone. This is FANTASTIC news. I was going to post a request for the ratings when I saw this! I KNEW it!! I wrote this a few weeks ago regarding the 87B speech to the country(now w/ minor modifications to include the references to recent events)

Remember when you were a kid and some new toy would come along and the commercials for it were plastered all over the Saturday morning cartoons and before you knew it everyone you knew had one and of course, you had to get one too? It looked so great in the commercial, shiny and fun and promising endless enjoyment. I'm sure it happened numerous times during your childhood. Only, you get the toy and it's not nearly as fun as it looked and it breaks after using it a couple of times. The dissapointment and resentment would well up every time you saw the commercial after that. You knew the truth now and no amount of marketing would ever get you to buy another one of those toys. Maybe they'd sucker you in again for a NEW product, but that toy? History.

Bush is that toy. He was sold to the American people through a marketing and propoganda campaign of epic proportions. 9/11 didn't change Bush, it changed the way the country saw him. The country desperately needed a leader and they projected everything they thought a leader should be into Bush. Unfortunately for Bush and his bosses, they picked a defective product to foist on the American people.

The lustre has worn off and no amount of PR or marketing or propoganda can bring the people back to once again accept what they now know is a defective product. Bush's neocon bosses might have actually been able to pull off their complete seizure of the country if they had picked a different puppet. Someone who had at least a modicum of competence. Bush is not that puppet. He has neither the competence, the charisma, the intelligence or the gravitas. He's defective through and through right down to the very core of his essence and no amount of propoganda or PR will make people believe otherwise now.

The speech last night, the Fox interview, the 87B speech all were hail mary's for the Bush's neocon bosses and they all failed miserably. Everyone's heard it before, it was nothing new, it's was the same old commercial for the same defective toy and people no longer want it and they ain't buying it again.

14. well... more people hate the raiders than w*...

[BigBigBear]

[JPace]

15. Well now.....

They don't think he's worth an hour of
their time!

[Wonk]

20. How 'bout that. * on Faux. Dead LAST!!!

Freepers are so hung up on their RW cable ratings -- wonder how this went down? Not easy, I expect.

More's the pity. Not.

21. That's really to bad,

because the wholenation needed to see that not only is he incompetent, but also not in charge.

Perhaps Americans just don't want to buy his crap anymore.
