Fox runs the table

February's cable-news Nielsen winners, depressingly uniform:

Total Viewers: The O’Reilly Factor (2,937,000); The Kelly File (2,337,000); Special Report w/ Bret Baier (2,114,000); The Five (2,107,000);  On the Record w/ Greta Van Susteren (1,938,000)

Adults 25-54: The O’Reilly Factor (450,000); The Five (358,000); The Kelly File (354,000); Special Report w/ Bret Baier (315,000); On the Record with Greta Van Susteren (299,000)

"[N]either CNN or MSNBC were able to crack the top 20 in either" total or primetime audiences, notes deadline.com. 

I should think MSNBC's president, Phil Griffin, is counting the miserably long days till presidential season. While the right fulminates year round, every year, the left seems to get animated only every four.

It's the damnedest thing--a testament to both the left's disproportionate youthfulness and its rather capricious attitude about the gravity of the franchise.

The right, for all its immersion in little to no to wretchedly bad information, gets it: the most effective means to accomplishing what one seeks in public policy is ... the vote. Simple as that--although that seems too complicated for the left.

Another way to look at it is that the low ratings for cable agitprop shows among progressives is a sign of our sanity.
