You don't judge the veracity of a news network by the number of viewers it has, but by the number of viewers who know what veracity means. The most interesting man in the world says...

Well in my opinion it wasn't for viewership. He averaged 2.2 million per day, and in a time slot outside of prime time. Not too bad. But in case you haven't noticed the dude is a little whacked. I think he represented a larger liability than Fox was ready to carry. I don't follow his GBT program, but it appears to be off to a good start.

The only Fox this guy's ever heard of his the former Mexican President who famously sent half his citizens north ! I don't think he can get Fox News anyway on his Mexican cable system, so he need not lament....Another thing he appearently can't get is good beer....he can drink his piss water and watch CNN Mexico...lol

I can't stand his ass but if he was bringing in numbers and he can't be no worse than Hannity. He was extremely good at promoting Faux's right wing agenda.

On which we agree; but it doesn't identify the dude with the sun tan and a trimmed beard -is he a Country 'n Western Grandee?
