6-2-05 -- Breaking: The big slide continues, once again the factor
ratings have dropped for the 7th month in a row. In October of 2004
the factor had a monthly average of 3.1 million viewers a month. Since
then the factor has lost viewers every month. Last month (May) it
dropped to a monthly average of 1.7 million. In April it was 1.9, so
the factor viewers are still leaving at a rate of about 200,000 a
month.

Hey Bill, what happened to those 6 million viewers, 1.7 million is not
6 million. It looks like the American people have finally figured out
that you are a right-wing con man and they are leaving you in big
numbers.

Hey O'Reilly where is that 6 million viewers you claim to have, a 2.3
is not a 6.0 in my world. And O'Reilly averaged a 2.7 for November so
a 2.3 is actually a drop in ratings from his average.

Here is a good one folks, O'Reilly now claims that he is getting 6
million viewers a night for the Factor, and he claims his ratings have
increased. Despite the fact that the neilson ratings say otherwise. In
october the O'Reilly Factor averaged a 2.7 rating, in november the
O'Reilly Factor averaged a 2.7 again. So he is a liar on both points,
yes I said a liar.

October average ratings - The O'Reilly Factor - 2.7
November average ratings - The O'Reilly Factor - 2.7

Note: The above ratings numbers came right from the neilson company, I
have a source with access to their numbers.
