  1. Happens Here, too by soren100 · · Score: 1, Troll · on Russian Journalists Quit Over Censorship
    This type of thing is not limited to Russia -- it's very common in America, although a little more subtle. For example, Rupert Murdoch told the NY POST Not to publish news critical of China Because he was trying to do business deals there. In the runup to the Iraq war, all you could see on TV was retired generals, and MSNBC cancelled Phil Donahue's show during the month that it had the highest ratings on their network because he was anti-war and had guests with ant-war viewpoints

    .He seems to delight in presenting guests who are anti-war, anti-Bush and skeptical of the administration's motives." The report went on to outline a possible nightmare scenario where the show becomes "a home for the liberal antiwar agenda at the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity."
    The myth that America has a free press allows these types of things to go unchallenged, but the truth of the matter is that America has a "corporate press" that does what its conservative masters wants. The press used to be known as the "4th estate" because it was another tool that held the government in check and kept it accountable, but now it is just "info-tainment". How bad has America's press become? Viewers of "Fake News" Comedy shows (The Daily Show and the Colbert Report) were found by one study to be more informed than viewers of other "real' news shows.
  2. Re:It's not about the money by andycal · · Score: 1 · on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise

    Shows are often canceled when they shouldn't be.

    I believe a major part of the problem right now is that they insist on running it on Friday night when even geeks have something else to do. Just putting It in a better time slot would improve the ratings.

    They probably aren't doing a good job of selling the market. Yea "girlfriends" gets better ratings. But the disposable income numbers have to be better for the enterprise audience.

    And as bad as Ratings are for enterprise It's still doing better than average for UPN programs: No.6 UPN 1.1 No.6 UPN 2,920,000

  3. Latest On Shatner Appearance by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative · on Could TNG Stunt Casting Save 'Enterprise'?

    Well, apparently the producers have figured out a way to include William Shatner (or, at least, footage of him), even if he doesn't want any part of "Enterprise"

  5. Re:Watched more than the West Wing by tommck · · Score: 4, Informative · on WB Cancels Angel

    There is NO WAY that Angel had higher ratings than West Wing...

    They must be talking about increase in viewership, which would be hard to beat if you went up 36% from one season to the next.

    On this weekly list, West Wing was 51st and Angel was 87th....

    On this season so far list, West Wing was 29th and Angel was 129th... Gee... I wonder why it was cancelled... hmmm... Let's look at the shows above it...

    Tru Calling (huh?)
    Skin (cancelled)
    Miss Match (yikes)
    Brotherhood of Poland, NH
    Tracy Morgan Show
    The Handler (cancelled)
    Celebrity Mole Yucatan

    Pretty pathetic...
