America Takes A Break From Stupidity…

….and I say that only because the latest cable news network ratings are out and it appears that the biggest ratings loser is FoxNewsChannal, with one of their flagship idiots,Glenn Beck, leading the way.

    TVNewser says that from January,2010 to January,2011 Fox was down –21% in its total viewers and was down –31% in younger viewers.

   While that it good for those of us who know how ignorant and stupid this country has become, Fox still is the #1 network on cable, beating MSNBC and CNN combined.

   Speaking of MSNBC, it was the only news cable network to show growth, beating out CNN for the 7th straight month in January, 2011. This was even though the network sacked its biggest star, Keith Olbermann, whose viewership had rising by 6%.

Overall, MSNBC was the only cable news channel to grow year-over-year: +23% in Total Viewers and +25% in younger viewers (total day, Mon-Sun).

Events In Egypt

    It now appears that the Egyptian military has sided with dictator Mubarak as it has issued a call for citizens to end the demonstrations against Mubarak. Now we are even seeing pro-Mubarak demonstrations in Cairo,and the military fears that both sides of the groups may turn violent against each other.

The declaration was a clear shift in the stand of the army, which gave a tacit endorsement to the movement on Monday by saying it would not use force against protesters, and that they had legitimate demands.

Representatives of his National Democratic Party immediately began making public statements trying to project the image of the regime as Egypt's sole path back to stability and security after the disruption of normal life caused by eight days of protests, and a wave of looting and arson that gripped the country over the weekend after the government pulled police from the street.

The army's message to the demonstrators had a more conciliatory tone, appealing to young protesters to stand down "out of love for Egypt."

"You have started coming out to express your demands and you are the ones capable of returning normal life to Egypt," military spokesman Ismail Etman said in an address on state television. "Your message has arrived, your demands have become known."

Immediately after his statement, state television ran a scrolling message reading: "The armed forces call on the protesters to go home for the sake of bringing back stability."
